Corporate Strategy
|
|
Professor of Strategy at IMD.
His particular interest is helping firms create strategic thrusts around which they can create a genuine emotional commitment, to ensure effective implementation. This work is captured in Must–Win Battles (with Professor Tom Malnight and research assistant Tracey Keys) published in Europe by the Financial Times/ Prentice Hall (2005) and in the US by the Wharton School Press (early 2006).
He also runs in-company programs for BMW, and several units within Nestlé, including the recently formed Nestlé Nutrition business.
Much of the work that Professor Killing has done on strategy and change is captured in Strategic Analysis and Action, a textbook co-authored with professor Nick Fry that is currently in its sixth edition. The change leadership model in this book has influenced the activities of many individual managers and companies, including, to name a few of the larger ones, Exxon Mobil, Nestlé, and ICI.
In the area of mergers and acquisitions and alliances, Professor Killing has written and/or edited four books and several articles, including one in the Harvard Business Review. Killing has designed and run acquisition or alliance workshops for many companies, including Danisco, DSM, Elisa, Gerling, and many companies in the European aerospace industry. He has recently published an article titled “Are mergers of equals really possible?” based on the creation of AstraZeneca.
At IMD Professor Killing is an active case writer, and is a co-author of the award winning Nestlé-Rowntree and Brent Spar case series. He also participates in the IMD Wednesday Webcast series, most recently on the topics of leading change, and creating successful acquisitions. His most recent case is Nestlé's GLOBE program, a close look at the world's largest SAP rollout. |
