Abstract: The process of development and the institutionalisation of business schools in the United Kingdom have been very controversial. Only recently have business schools found legitimacy in the academic world. Despite this recent process of emergence, the United Kingdom has succeeded in giving birth to the two most elite business schools in the country and, perhaps, to two of the most prestigious in the world: the Saïd Business School at the University of Oxford and the Judge Business School at the University of Cambridge. Both schools are increasingly attractive to students as they are for recruiters. However, business schools are still facing serious challenges over the relevance of their training for managers, and their role in the creation of new knowledge. With the objective of identifying and sustaining the competitive advantage of these two business schools, this article intends analysing the history of development of each school in order to better understand their current orientation and give insights into their future strategies.
