Many MBA applicants feel that they are purchasing a brand when choosing a business school, but the educational experience is what is crucial to your future, and no one will affect your education more than your professors. Each Wednesday, we profile a standout professor as identified by students. Today, we focus on Prashant Kale\u00a0<\/strong>from the Indian School of Business (ISB).<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Prashant<\/p>\n

Prashant Kale<\/strong> teaches \u201cCompetitive Strategy,\u201d a foundational economics and strategy course, in Term 2 to four\u2014as we were told\u2014\u201clucky\u201d sections. A PhD from Wharton and an associate professor at the Rice Jones Graduate School of Management, Kale reportedly brings a dynamic international perspective to the subjects of competitive strategy, particularly mergers and acquisitions. In this case-based course, students act as decision makers seeking to create or strengthen the competitive advantage of their case companies, primarily through strategic investments. The course subsequently tackles global advantage, exploring the differences in strategy required for different markets. Part of the course\u2019s aim is to empower students to develop critical and integrative thinking skills.<\/p>\n

When mbaMission asked students to name their favorite professor, Kale was frequently at the top of the list. \u201cHe makes the class really great,\u201d said one student. \u201cHe actually does consulting for most of these things, so he speaks from experience.\u201d Added another, \u201cHe knows how to engage the whole class.\u201d And a third student made special note of Kale\u2019s rigorous classroom style, observing that in some other classes, \u201cyou can pretty much put your head down and not even look at the time, but in his class, you can\u2019t afford to do that. You know you\u2019re going down if you haven\u2019t done your work.\u201d Apparently, students worldwide agree that Kale is top notch: he won the Professor of the Year Award in 2009 at the ISB and the Best Teacher Award at Jones the same year. He was also featured among Bloomberg Businessweek\u2019s<\/em> \u201cMost Popular Profs at Top Business Schools\u201d in 2011.<\/p>\n
