History
The University began offering an MBA in 1988, with the formation of the Centre for Management Studies. In 1997 the Centre was merged with the Departments of Economics, Accounting and Finance to form the School of Business and Economics under the headship of Martin Timbrell. In 2008 the name was changed to the University of Exeter Business School and Professor Richard Lamming was appointed as Director. At the time of its formation, the Business School employed 38 full-time academics, and in 2010, this number had risen to nearly 100.
