Saïd Business School has a 20-year tradition of research, teaching and engagement in scenarios and foresight.  The executive Oxford Scenarios Programme (OSP) has won a British Academy of Management Education Practice Award, and its faculty have published and engaged widely. Recently, the Oxford-Hyundai Motor Group Foresight Centre has been established focusing on contributing significant new research to the scholarly understanding of how foresight is conducted to inform business strategy, while also producing impactful outputs for practitioners.

 

Scenarios and foresight are part of the School’s Strategy group based in the Strategy, Innovation and Marketing (SIM) Academic Area. The group examines strategy through a wide lens, exploring the processes, practices, and people associated with organisational strategy. The group is interdisciplinary – grounded in sociology, psychology, economics, cognitive science, and political science, as well as the arts and the humanities. Members regularly publish in top-tier journals and take leadership positions within the discipline internationally.

The post holder will have an international standing and reputation in their field that will enhance the Division’s reputation for excellence in teaching, public engagement and research.
