“Why so many successful companies like Google, Yahoo etc get
born in USA and not in India? One of the answers would be great synergy between
finance, world class research universities and the start-up culture that exists
in USA. Fuse these three and you get a chemical explosion”, said Dr.
Theodore Roosevelt Malloch, Professor of management at Said Business School,
University of Oxford, UK during an interaction with the students of SRM
University. Dr. Ted was at the campus on a goodwill visit and the students
spent the evening with him soliciting his views on varied topics ranging from
Business models to office politics to women empowerment and prediction of the
outcome of US elections. One of the students asked him to highlight one great
challenge he faced while serving in more than 36 corporate boards. To this he
replied “Few challenges were around leadership, product design, corporate
governance, unethical behavior and succession question”
Dr. Ted served as Research Professor at Yale University and
is currently the Vice-Chairman of Polaris. He holds a PhD in International
political economy from university of Toronto. He is the great grandson of
former US President Theodore Roosevelt.
Dr. Sathyanarayanan, President of SRM University
while addressing the gathering said that it is our honour to have Dr. Ted who
hails from the family which had given two great Presidents of USA.
Dr. T.P. Ganesan, Pro Vice-Chancellor (Planning &
Development) welcomed Dr. Theodore Roosvelt and introduced him to the august
audience. Dr. N. Sethuraman , Registrar,
proposed the vote of thanks.
