Annual ICMA Centre BBQ

The annual ICMA Centre BBQ took place last Thursday and despite the temperamental weather was very well attended. The clouds were lifted when Students saw the delicious range of food on offer and the sun even shone while everyone enjoyed an ice cream.

The barbecue was a great chance to celebrate for those lucky enough to have finished their exams, or a chance for a well earned break for those who still had a few exams remaining. It was also attended by representatives from the Henley Business School alumni relations team, who were on hand to speak about the amazing opportunities offered by the alumni network. Students registering even had the chance to win a prize in the raffle.

The BBQ was an excellent chance for the students to reflect on a busy and exciting academic period and to chat with faculty members or catch up with friends.

A full gallery of pictures from the barbecue are available now on Facebook.

New Book: Corporate Governance: Theory and Practice

Capitalism is high on the political agenda. Like coffee it seems to come in a bewildering number of varieties. Some politicians like it "responsible" others "moral" and still others "popular". While some argue that it is time for shareholders to wield real power, others feel that that certain shareholders, notably hedge funds should sit on their hands, at least if they have bought shares after a takeover has been announced. Out on the streets the tents of the "occupy" protectors may be under threat but many are sympathetic to the view that bankers and board members have been rewarded for taking too many risks with other people's money.
