1. ID this term.The term X entered the public domain when Keith Oliver, a consultant at Booz Allen Hamilton (now Booz & Company), used it in an interview for the Financial Times in 1982. The term was slow to take hold. It gained currency in the mid-1990s, when a flurry of articles and books came out on the subject. In the late 1990s it rose to prominence as a management buzzword, and managers began to use it in their titles with increasing regularity.

It is found with alarming regularity in case studies in XIMB and is also an elective I have opted for in V term.
