Congratulations to Kadi Huang, Chris Himpich, Alex Priest and Daniel Lim for reaching the final of the Universities Business Challenge! In Particular to ICMA Centre students Kadi Huang, 2nd year Finance and Investment Banking, and Daniel Lim, 1st year Finance & Investment Banking. The semi-final was held at the offices of P&G (Procter & Gamble) in Weybridge and required the ten semi-finalists to purchase, renovate and manage a hotel business in Thailand.Tasks included corporate social responsibility, media presentation, creative thinking and networking. The Henley team produced an outstanding performance to win with a profit of £151K (moderated by a stakeholder engagement score).They will join nine finalists from other top business schools at the London HQ of IBM UK in Southbank on Friday 22 March for the chance to win up to £1000. We wish them the best of luck!

As the new football season commences, the media is speculating on who will be the first manager to be sacked. Whilst economists have used their models to predict football events, academics from the ICMA Centre have developed a model to see if they could predict when a football manager is no longer being effective.

An unprecedented new study by academics at the Henley Business School into financial risk has shown that while women remain significantly more risk averse than men in the investment domain, the disparity is declining.
