Saïd Business School (Oxford Saïd or SBS) is the business school of the University of Oxford. The school is a provider of management education.

Business and management classes started at Oxford in 1965 when the Centre of Management Studies, later relaunched as Templeton College, Oxford, was founded.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> In 1988, a committee chaired by Claus Moser, Baron Moser recommended that the University create a new School of Management Studies. By 1990, Clark L. Brundin became founding director of Oxford's school of management studies.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> In 1996, the school re-branded as Saïd Business School after a donation of £28 million from Wafic Saïd.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> New premises were built on Park End Street and opened in 2001. The Thatcher Business Education Centre was opened on the same site in 2012 after a further donation from Saïd. The School has another centre at Egrove Park, on the former site of Templeton College, and in 2019 acquired an old power station in Osney to convert into a Global Leadership Centre.

Saïd Business School is the University of Oxford's department for graduate students in business, management and finance. Undergraduates are also taught as part of the Economics and Management course together with the Economics Department.

As of June 2022, the Dean of Said Business School is Professor Soumitra Dutta.

HistoryEdit

Business education at the University of Oxford dates back to 1965, when the Oxford Centre for Management Studies was founded. The centre was renamed Templeton College in 1983 as a result of a donation from Sir John Templeton.<ref name=History>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

In 1988 a committee chaired by Sir Claus Moser (warden of Wadham College) recommended that the University set up a new School of Management Studies. The University agreed to establish a Business School in 1990 and the Oxford School of Management Studies was set up in premises at the Old Radcliffe Infirmary with its first intake of students arriving in 1993. The first director was Dr Clark Brundin, who had been the vice-chancellor of the University of Warwick since 1985. He was also appointed as president of Templeton College.<ref name=Arena>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Saïd Business School was founded in 1996 when Syrian-born businessman Wafic Saïd offered the University a donation of £28 million.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> A site for the new premises was found on Park End Street opposite Oxford railway station on what was formerly the Oxford Rewley Road railway station. The building was designed by Edward Jones and Sir Jeremy Dixon.<ref name=Arena/> The opening on 5 November 2001 was accompanied by a demonstration by students concerned about the controversial nature of Wafic Saïd's donation. <ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Saïd was linked with the UK's signing of the Al-Yamamah arms deal.<ref name=Cherwell>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

In 2007 Templeton College merged with Green College to form Green Templeton College, based on the existing Green College site. The former Templeton site at Egrove Park then became the Saïd Business School Executive Education Centre. In 2012 the Thatcher Business Education Centre, financed by a donation from Saïd, was opened on the Park End Street site.<ref name=History/> Saïd donated a further £15 million in 2019 to finance the conversion of the old Osney power station into a Global Leadership Centre.<ref name=Cherwell/>

In 2020 Saïd Business School lost an employment tribunal case brought by its former director of custom executive education.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The tribunal found that the whistleblower had been unfairly dismissed and awarded her £1,499,606.62.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
