This paper examines the activities of Martin Luther King Jr. through the lenses of strategic management and organizational leadership. Departing from traditional historical narratives, the article focuses on the managerial models that enabled the transformation of chaotic social protest into a highly structured political movement. Utilizing qualitative research and case study analysis (e.g., the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the organizational structure of the SCLC), this study demonstrates how King executed resource optimization, crisis management, and strategic communication discipline. The findings suggest that King’s success was rooted in the synthesis of "transformational leadership" and pragmatic operational management. The research offers novel insights into social entrepreneurship and the logistics of non-violent resistance, providing significant relevance for contemporary management theories in a globalized context. Keywords: Strategic Management, Martin Luther King Jr., Leadership, Social Change, Crisis Management, Logistics.
