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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The greatest horrors in the history of mankind are not due to the ambition of the Napoleons or the vengeance of the Agamemnons, but to the doctrinaire philosophers. The theories of the sentimentalist Rousseau inspired the integrity of the passionless Robespierre. The cold-blooded calculations of Karl Marx led to the judicial and business-like operations of the Cheka.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
“History is the present. That’s why every generation writes it anew. But what most people think of as history is its end product, myth.”
—E.L. (Edgar Lawrence)
“I cannot be much pleased without an appearance of truth; at least of possibility—I wish the history to be natural though the sentiments are refined; and the characters to be probable, though their behaviour is excelling.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
