Tier 1 — Case Study 1: University A

Julian C. Sulej

Chapter 3 in Rethinking Business Schools, 2015, pp 13-30 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract University A is located in the North West of England. The university is more than 150 years old, being founded, at least in terms of the initial institute, in the first quarter of the 19th century. In the last quarter of the 19th century the initial institute was turned into a technical skills-based school focused on industrial requirements and improving literacy and numeracy in the working population. The second institution that forms the other half of a merged institution was formed around the middle part of the 19th century with an educational model based on that of German universities such as Heidelberg and others. It was this model that provided the focus on research and the creation of knowledge that still forms part of the university’s focus today. This second institution gained individual university status in the late 20th century. A number of other colleges contributed to the initial organizational structure, which was dissolved in the early part of the 20th century when these other colleges received their own university charters - they are located in the North and the Midlands.
