The Saïd Business School's approach is markedly interdisciplinary, drawing on Oxford's strengths across a range of subjects - sociology, economics, law, psychology, politics and international relations. Working at the interface of disciplines, faculty and researchers are exploring issues such as the politics of global business, the rise of science entrepreneurship and the management of innovation, and the social and commercial impact of information systems and the Internet.
