Warwick dean bridges business and academia By Della Bradshaw Published: March 1 2010 11:03 | Last updated: March 1 2010 11:03
Warwick Business School in the UK has appointed Mark Taylor as its next dean, to replace Howard Thomas who left the school earlier this year to become dean of the Lee Kong Chian School of Business at the Singapore Management University. Though Prof Taylor has been a professor of international finance at Warwick since 1999, he has spent the last four years working as a managing director ofBlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager. There he led the European arm of the Global Market Strategies Group, a global macro investment fund. He has also been a senior economist at the International Monetary Fund in Washington DC and an Economist at the Bank of England.
It is this experience in the worlds of business, regulation and academia that Prof Taylor believes will be the hallmark of his deanship. “Often people think that to be business relevant you have to water down the academic worth,” he points out. “You don’t.” Prof Taylor’s own research demonstrates this. His work on exchange rates and international financial markets has been published extensively in many leading academic and practitioner journals and he is one of the most highly cited researchers in finance and economics in the world.
Warwick has traditionally been rated as one of the top three research universities for business and management in the UK, together with London Business Schooland Lancaster University Management School. |
