Dreaming Spires and all that

I visited at Oxford for a few days last week. I had the opportunity to work with Richard Whittington, one of the key figures in Strategy-as-practice, a viewpoint on strategy which I strongly relate to. It was exciting to wittness some of the personal and social context from which all the ideas you read in scientific texts actually emerge.

Took some pictures, too.

They certainly treat their guest well...

New College spires...
Public Enemy #1 has been jailed at last, it would appear...
A white tower of some sort...
Spires, spires, spires, and what is called the "Radcliff Camera"...
A tree with stuff hanging from it (plus your average brick wall as foreground interest)...
I think Oxford put the "Ivy" in "Ivy League"...
The way they design their litter boxes...
The business school has a more modern appearance.
