Introduction The Said Business School This event was held at The Said Business School, Oxford University, established in 1996, and currently Europe’s fastest growing Business School. It combines the highest standards of academic rigour with a practical understanding of business and wealth creation. Its faculty are engaged in research on key management issues, in dialogue with the wider intellectual community and with practitioners. As part of one of the world’s greatest universities, it is uniquely able to draw on Oxford’s strengths across a range of subjects, including sociology, economics, law, psychology, politics and international relations. Working at the interface of disciplines, and collaborating actively with faculty from other disciplines, faculty and researchers transcend the traditional functional divisions of a business school and reflect the complex realities of business and society in our contemporary global economy. The school has already generated outstanding research in many areas and all faculty are at firmly at the forefront of their fields, regularly providing important intellectual leadership for institutions such as the European Commission, the European Corporate Governance Institute and the World Bank. The Leiden-Oxford Programme ‘Restructuring Corporate Governance’ was organized under the auspices of the Leiden- Oxford Programme. This was created in order to link two of Europe’s finest historic universities and offer a variety of programmes in the form of symposia, taught modules, short courses and workshops, based mainly around the twin themes of European Business and Culture. Its special focus is to bridge the two cultures of academia and business. The programmes are aimed primarily at private sector and public sector management-level staff, in Europe or elsewhere. Programmes are seen as a special opportunity to ‘return to the university world to deepen knowledge of the cultures and historical backgrounds’ of Europe. A series of symposia were held in 2004-5: Europe, Shaping the Future (2004, Leiden), Turkey, Risk or Opportunity (2004, Leiden), and Restructuring Corporate Governance (2005, Oxford). Another series of symposia on the Future for Europe planned for 2006-7. The programme, linked to the Europaeum, is supervised by an Advisory Board. 5
