This is a book that draws together the main influences that have
resulted in the impressive emergence of business schools in the UK
is badly needed. This book tries to fill this gap by identifying
the main institutions and individuals involved. There is minimal
overlap with other scholarly works, such as those tracing the
development of management thought and critiques of the products of
business schools. The American influence on the development of UK
business schools is acknowledged, but the emphasis in the book is
on UK contributions. Part 1 is an historic overview identifying the
milestones in the last two centuries, with particular attention
being paid to the twentieth century. The impressive growth of
management education in the last fifty years would not have taken
place without the creation of supportive institutions. Through
their regulatory and informative roles these institutions ensured
that growth was accompanied by high standards in teaching and
research, thus enabling business schools to make effective
contributions to the social and economic needs of society. These
supportive institutions for example the Association of Business
Schools and the Association of MBAs are discussed in Part 2, as are
the professional institutions associated with business and
management education for example the Chartered Management Institute
and the Chartered Institute of Personnel & Development). Part 3
focuses on the growth of knowledge-based management education, and
illustrates how systematic research has contributed to the content
and methods of management education. The historical roles of
academic and applied bodies such as the Tavistock Institute of
Human Relations, the Association of Teachers of Management and the
British Academy of Management are discussed. Part 4 focuses on the
national and international standing of UK business schools. Trends
in the quality ratings of business schools, as revealed by various
public assessments and media rankings are explored. A selection of
business school histories are examined in an effort to identify
factors that have influenced their chosen strategies and subsequent
development.
