Inspiration comes from unlikely sources

In the latest Focus Report on MBA programmes published by The Times, Stuart Crainer discusses the emergence of a new generation of business thinkers, and a recent trend for the business world to seek inspiration from other disciplines. As Crainer observes with reference to MBA programmes, "courses are now as likely to involve zoologists and biologists as economists." The article makes specific mention of the popular MBA Elective on "Managing Complexity" that CABDyN Co-Director Felix Reed-Tsochas teaches at the Saïd Business School, as an example of how a physicist may provide future business leaders with novel insights.
