In 1972, Stone attended the University of Leeds and graduated with a BA (Hons) in Business Studies. During his years in the army, Stone continued to study. In 1996, he received a Masters in Business Administration (MBA) followed a year later by a Masters (MSc) in Design of Information Systems from Cranfield University 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「Mike Stone (defence)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
