EspañolHENLEY MANAGEMENT COLLEGE
'Henley Management College' is an English triple accredited business school based at Greenlands, near Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire. It was incorporated as the 'Administrative Staff College' in 1945, founded in 1946 and opened in March 1948. It has a large number of local owned or affiliated colleges, under the same name, throughout the world.
The Administrative Staff College title reflects its original philosophy, which was to establish a civilian equivalent of the military Staff Colleges.
The original thinking of the College owed something to the management consultant and writer Lyndall Urwick, but also to the academic Hector Hetherington and the businessman Geoffrey Heyworth (later Baron Heyworth). Its curriculum was designed by its first Principal, Noel Hall. From the first, its intention was to bring together executives from the civil service, private business and nationalised industries to help develop their skills for promotion to senior management.
The success of the College led to the establishment of other administrative staff colleges in other parts of the world. In 1981, the College changed its name from its original title to Henley - The Management College. This was changed again to its modern form when the College received its Royal Charter ten years later in 1991.
It is known mostly, but not only, for its MBA program. It also offers a Doctor of Business Administration (DBA), a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.), and a Master of Philosophy (M.Phil.) program. The college is accredited by The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), Equis and AMBA. In 2002, the college was also granted AACSB International accreditation. In 2006 it was awarded The Queen's Award for Enterprise in recognition of its international activities.
The 2006 Economist (EIU) MBA ranking places the Henley MBA as number 14 in the world. It was established in 1945 as the Administrative Staff College and is currently the world's third-largest supplier of MBA education.[1]
Meredith Belbin's well known research on team roles was originally conducted at the College upon students attending courses there.
Dr D Rundle has recently written a book about the College's history and its role in the development of management education globally, entitled ''Henley and the Unfinished Management Education Revolution''.
The UK campus is includes the head offices at the country house of Greenlands sited on the Thames next to Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire.
Each local campus may vary in what it offers, with each having some local customization. A number of countries have a full local campus, with local teaching staff and local accreditation. A number of others, that Henley lists as countries they serve, have an office without local instructors. Students in those countries must either travel abroad or use instruction over the internet.
The following is a partial list of physical campuses with local instructors and separate local accreditation:
★ Henley Management College, South Africa — Serves Africa as a whole
★ Henley Management College, Cyprus — Most students at the Henley Regional Centre for the Eastern Mediterranean are distance learners from other countries, but physical campus with educational staff is provided
