Business School Professors to Run 6-Week Summer Course in England

Four Business School professors will go to England this summer to present an abbreviated version of the School's Advanced Management Program.

Forty British executives will take part in the six-week program, and eight scholarships will be offered to British academicians who are interested in teaching business administration.

However, according to Ralph M. Hower, Professor of Business Administration and one of the participants, there may be some "reallocation" of positions if fewer than eight "good men" apply for the scholarships, because of the great number of applications from British industry.

Other Instructors

Besides Hower, who will instruct in organizational behavior, instructors will include Robert W. Austin, who will teach pudey formulation and administration; Harry L. Hansen, who will teach marketing management; and Clarence B. Nickerson, whose field will be the use of accounting and statistical data in management decision. All three, like Hower, are professors of Business Administration at Harvard.

Britain currently has no schools of business administration, but plans to open two in the near future. One, to be operated jointly by the London School of Economics and the Imperial Technical College, will be at London, while the other, to be established in the north of England, will be a part of the University of Manchester.
