It's back to business at Oxford

Article Abstract:

There have been a number of difficulties at Oxford University's Said Business School. Most recently, the school's first Director, Professor John Kay, resigned suddenly following disagreements about whether the school should be forced to adhere to university salary scales. There have also been problems with fundraising. However, the school is attracting many applicants, and it aims to more than treble the number of full-time MBA students to 200 by 2001.
