Abstract

In terms of the criteria applied to business schools Cass stakeholders can be proud of their achievements. A closely knit team of less than 10 ‘unproven’ academics had, with the support of superiors and advisers, launched a venture that has grown to over a 100 ‘proven’ academics. It took nearly 40 years for these achievements to be realised. What practical insights can be gained from the historical development of Cass Business School? Although any insights emerging may not be novel, their reinstatement and reinforcement in the context of business schools may be useful to those who are concerned with their development. Insights in this chapter will be framed around the open systems concept. Those in Chapter 15 will focus around the concept of leadership within the context of change.
