Saїd Business School announces major redesign of its flagship one-year MBA programme










Oxford (PRWEB UK) 3 June 2014

Professor Tufano said: ‘Like all business schools, at Oxford we make ongoing adjustments to our programmes to keep in step with changes in the external business environment. But a year ago we began a thorough review of the MBA programme to ensure that it was the best and most relevant programme it could possibly be, and would best equip our future leaders for the challenging careers they will experience. The new Oxford MBA is now an even more powerful, rigorous and innovative programme with a range of exciting and valuable elements from which our students will benefit.’

In the redesigned programme, courses in core business disciplines have been extended and strengthened, providing our MBA students with a solid grounding in fundamentals, which can be followed up with more advanced treatment of the topics in elective courses. Learning in the core areas will be enhanced with extended pre-arrival preparation materials and ongoing support courses. A wider range of electives will be offered, including a selection of inter-disciplinary and jointly developed courses that bring in knowledge from the wider Oxford University.

An enhanced talent development initiative will underpin formal learning, providing MBA students with the opportunity to work with an executive coach and to build skills to enhance learning and career development. The talent development programme focuses on giving students the skills they need to create impact, influence and lead effectively. Students choose from a menu of options, depending on what they individually wish to develop. Options include workshops focused on topics such as presentation skills, networking, time management, personal impact and confidence. At the heart of the redesigned MBA are three cross-cutting themes related to the world-scale challenges shaping today’s business environment: the global rules of the game; entrepreneurship; and responsible leadership. These themes are addressed in specific interdisciplinary modules and extend through the other parts of the programme from core and elective courses, GOTO (Global Opportunities and Threats: Oxford), to guest speaker sessions and student-run conferences and competitions. ‘We believe that future business leaders will be confronted with these complex global issues and firms will require people who have a wide range of skills and abilities to navigate the challenging landscape of global business. Knowledge in these areas is relevant whether you are working in finance or social enterprise, in a big firm or small firm, anywhere in the world’ said Dr Dana Brown, MBA Programme Director.

‘At Oxford we want to encourage our MBAs to challenge the rules of the game and to rethink those rules, so we want to focus in depth on exactly what those rules are’ said Professor Tufano. ‘We are going to explore the institutions that structure capitalism – the unwritten rules, norms and laws that shape the global economy; the international institutions, agreements, differences and disputes across borders which influence or constrain business opportunities. From the basis of sound knowledge, our MBAs should be questioning the status quo and asking how fit for purpose these rules are. They can identify the mechanisms to influence or indeed change the system. We have a young and innovative group of faculty with deep insight in this area, as well as learned colleagues from across the University, who together are going to take forward this exploration. As a result, our students will be well equipped not just to play the game but to change the game.’

The new entrepreneurship theme is focused on a distinctive business approach. ‘We define entrepreneurship as the ability to effectively deploy resources to devise business solutions to complex and multifaceted challenges. Entrepreneurship is a mind-set from which all organisations doing business in the 21st century can benefit’ explained Dr Brown. Through collaboration between the MBA programme, the Entrepreneurship Centre and the Skoll Centre for Social Entrepreneurship, the School offers an extensive portfolio of activity and support in this area, including a redesigned Entrepreneurship Project in which students work in teams through the stages of taking a business idea to fruition’.

Responsible leadership is the third theme. ‘We are taking an interdisciplinary view of the role of the corporation in society, and the related ethical and governance challenges that confront business leaders’ said Dr Brown. ‘We want to explore what leadership means in the 21st Century in a global context. This will be an energising and challenging course which will move from the systems and societal level to the individual, and examine students’ own values, career goals and responsibilities as leaders.’

‘You may ask why we have undertaken such a major review’ said Professor Tufano. ‘After all, the programme was running really well and our students were thriving. Put simply, we wanted to future-proof the Oxford MBA. The business world is currently experiencing a period of unprecedented transformation. Rapid global economic growth, technological developments and the global financial crisis radically altered the landscape for business. Competitiveness now requires companies to think well beyond the scope of standard business models to address world-scale social, environmental, political and economic challenges. This environment needs individuals who can inspire and influence a wide range of stakeholders, and who can demonstrate responsible leadership in the face of complex and often conflicting interests. We wanted to be sure that our MBA will fulfil the needs of today’s students working in this environment.’

Living Rich with Coupons Offers Top 5 Tips for Back to School Savings with Coupons











Back to School 2013 at Living Rich With Coupons


Lincorft, NJ (PRWEB) July 24, 2013

Record temperatures across much of the country this year are also an indicator of newly available hot back to school deals. With many schools starting back up in a matter of weeks, back to school savings, including printable coupons, are at a premium right now.

“The heart of summer is actually the ideal time to start thinking about back to school shopping and back to school coupons as we see more deals on essentials each week,” said Cindy Livesey, founder of Living Rich With Coupons, whose family of five has saved more than $ 11,000 a year in groceries, reducing their weekly bills from $ 275 to $ 50, with a focus on becoming completely debt-free. “With a variety of coupons and printable coupons, your family can save a bundle and enjoy some great back to school deals this year.”

In 2012, according to the National Retail Federation’s annual back-to-school spending survey, the average person with children in grades K-12 spent almost $ 690 on back to school supplies. In addition to visiting the Living Rich With Coupons Back to School page, with deals updated weekly as well as coupons paired with national sales, Livesey offers the following top five tips for reducing the size of that annual bill:

1.    Don’t overbuy: This is a common mistake made during back to school shopping. Just because an item is discounted doesn’t mean you have to buy 20 of it to last the entire school year. While it’s wise to stock up on great deals when they’re available at the absolute lowest price, it isn’t always wise to buy more school supplies than needed early in the shopping season, because better deals may appear early in the school year. To avoid overbuying or buying unneeded or unnecessary items, use a checklist.

2.    Check your stockpile: Before you buy anything, check to see what you already have on hand. You may already have several needed school supplies, allowing you to save money now and help your budget later in the year when it’s time to replenish supplies.

3.    Know what you need for the dorm: Back to school shopping for college students headed to dorms is a much bigger undertaking, one which can become quite costly if you’re not prepared. Check with the school to determine what they recommend (and your child’s roommate to see what can be shared); Living Rich With Coupons also has a handy College Dorm Checklist post with some more information on essentials needed for college dorm living.

4.    Think outside the box: Thanks to the internet, your options for back to school savings are better than ever. Think Craigslist, Ebay or newer sites such as such as Thred Up, which offers second-hand items for a fraction of the cost. Likewise, thrift stores may have gently used backpacks, calculators and other supplies at a fraction of department store prices.

5.    Don’t overlook grocery store deals on school supplies: If you want to save time and money, use your favorite grocery store’s weekly coupon match-ups to score some great deals on back to school essentials. In particular, look for manufacturer’s coupons, which are also posted on Living Rich With Coupons, that can double grocery store deals on school supplies.

“At Living Rich With Coupons, our goal is to save you money on groceries, back to school shopping and much more. It’s all about helping you live a truly ‘rich’ life by using coupons and enjoying amazing savings throughout the year,” Livesey added.
