Imperial College Business School is a business school located in London, United Kingdom and a constituent of Imperial College London. The business school was opened in 2004 by Queen Elizabeth II.〔 It is based at Imperial's main South Kensington campus in West London. ==History== A Department of Management Science was established at Imperial in 1971 under the leadership of Samuel Eilon. The department was composed of staff and students from Imperial's Industrial Sociology Unit and at its inception had 15 academic staff and around 60 students on an MSc course.〔 Over subsequent years the department grew and its focus shifted towards business studies.〔 In 1987 the Department of Management Science was merged with Imperial's Department of Social and Economic Studies to form a new School of Management, based in new purpose built accommodation on Exhibition Road.〔Gay, p 579〕 David Norbun was the first Director.〔 The School launched a new three-year part-time Executive MBA course.〔Gay, p 580〕 In 2000 Gary A. Tanaka, an alumnus of Imperial, agreed to make a substantial donation to the college.〔 It was decided to utilise the donation, together with other resources, to fund the transformation of the School of Management into a research-led business school.〔 Tanaka ultimately donated a total of £27 million to Imperial, of which £25 million went to the new business school, in what was at the time the largest single donation to any European business school. The new Tanaka Business School was launched in 2003, with David Begg as Director.〔 In August 2008 the school was renamed Imperial College Business School because the old name did not strongly emphasise its association with the College. The school's accommodation was subsequently named "the Tanaka Building". An alternative speculation is that the college changed the name of the school to distance itself from Tanaka's fraudulent activities〔http://www.london-student.net/2008/09/15/tanaka-no-more/〕 after he was tried and found guilty of conspiracy, securities fraud and investment adviser fraud in the same year. In March 2013 the British hedge fund Brevan Howard donated £20.1 million to fund the establishment of a finance research centre, the (Brevan Howard Centre for Financial Analysis ). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Imperial College Business School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
