Management Practice and Leadership at Said Business School

Within the Said Business School's faculty is a community of practice-oriented academics, referred to as "Management Practice," whose scholarly activities and teaching impact business and management practice in businesses and governmental organisations around the world. Largely through involvement in Executive Education at the School and active engagement with senior leaders and organisations around the world, our Management Practice faculty bring their experience and scholarly insights to help leaders and, by extension, their organisations perform better and achieve a greater positive impact on the communities they serve.
