Warwick Business School (WBS) is an academic department of the University of Warwick, that was originally established in 1967 as the School of Industrial and Business Studies. It is one of the most prestigious and highly selective business schools in the world.〔(CEO Magazine: Global MBA Super Table 2013 )〕 Due to the school's historical international outlook its alumni hold leadership positions in corporate, governmental and academic institutions around the globe.〔(Times Higher Education: The 100 most international universities in the world 2015 )〕 The Business School offers undergraduate, postgraduate and PhD degree programs, as well as non-degree executive education for individuals and companies. Its MBA program, known as the Warwick MBA, is offered as a one-year Full-Time program, an Executive MBA and by Distance Learning (blended learning). WBS University of Warwick campus is sited on the border of the city of Coventry and the county of Warwickshire in a semi-rural green belt location. WBS London campus is located in The Shard Tower, currently the tallest building in the European Union.〔(Financial Times: Warwick Business School to open London campus in the Shard )〕 ==History== Warwick's School of Industrial and Business Studies (SIBS) was founded in 1967, with Brian Houlden as Chair, a total of five academic staff and 24 students across three programmes (MSc Management & Business Studies, MSc Management Science & Operational Research, Doctoral programme). It quickly gained a reputation for excellent research, particularly in the field of industrial relations. The Industrial Relations Research Unit, founded by Hugh Clegg in 1970 focused on achieving a better understanding of workplace industrial relations in general and workplace trade unionism in particular, in a time when the UK was perceived to suffer greatly from industrial strife and poor economic performance. In 1981, the MSc in Management was renamed the Warwick MBA. At its 20th anniversary in 1987, SIBS was renamed Warwick Business School. The department had grown to over 100 staff, 815 students and 11 programs. In 1997, following expansion of the distance learning MBA in particular, the staff tally was over 260, with 3,160 students across 17 programs. In 2000, a new Executive MBA teaching centre was opened, the first of four phases of development of new premises for WBS. Further phases opened in 2001 and 2006, increasing the teaching capacity of WBS dramatically. This was followed by aggressive recruitment of academic faculty. In 2006, there were a total of 319 staff and 7,539 students across 25 degree programs, from over 100 countries worldwide. In September 2014, WBS opened a second campus in The Shard Tower in London to teach its MSc Finance, MSc Human Resource Management and Employment Relations along with its Executive MBA courses.〔 In August 2015, WBS opened Phase 3b of its Scarman Road building on The University of Warwick campus.
