The merger brings together two highly complementary business education offerings. Henley Management College has long been a leading international provider of executive education and MBA programmes, while the University of Reading Business School has been a world leader in international business research, with centres of excellence in business education for the financial and real estate markets. Together they will constitute one of the largest and best business schools in Europe, offering a full range of programmes and a powerful combination of academic research and thought leadership.

Combining our resources with those of the University of Reading will create a business school with the strengths and capabilities to meet this ambition, and rise to the challenges of twenty-first-century management and leadership development. Paul Walsh CEO, Diageo plc and Chair, Henley Business School Strategy Board 2 Henley Business School at the University of Reading The University of Reading is an ambitious institution and this will be a transforming step in further developing our world-class reputation for teaching, research and enterprise. The new business school will have enviable core strengths and the potential for truly innovative offerings to students, academics and corporate clients alike. Gordon Marshall Vice-Chancellor of the University of Reading 3 Henley Business School at the University of Reading A distinctive proposition As a full-service business school, we offer a wide range of programmes, from undergraduate to board level, from management to finance, from classroom teaching to mentoring, facilitation, team building and consulting. To every student, programme member, and client organisation we bring the same commitment to service and attention to detail, addressing the needs of those with whom we work, helping them to grow as leaders and future leaders. Our reach and scale are global, and run across all sectors. Of our 7,000 degree programme participants at any one time, over half are based outside the UK. Our teaching is delivered, both face-to-face and through distance learning technologies, across five continents. Through our tailored corporate programmes we help to grow the capabilities of a broad range of major European, American and Asian corporations. Combining the traditions of Reading and Henley, our faculty includes some of the world’s most distinguished research academics and some of its most innovative practically-oriented thought leaders, working together to enhance learning and add value, combining academic rigour with practical insights and relevance to the needs of tomorrow. 4 Henley Business School at the University of Reading Our distinctive approach At Henley Business School we always put the learner first. This means understanding what is appropriate for different stages of life, different levels of experience, and different individuals, and building close collaborations with partner organisations to fully understand and respond to their needs. In this context, our learning approach is pragmatic. Our learning processes combine both intellectual and experiential learning, both skills and knowledge, both personal and, where appropriate, organisational development. For experienced managers in particular, we know that learning comes as much from working with other managers as from working with faculty, and we build and support our learning teams accordingly. We are committed to innovative learning approaches, always looking to blend interactive, face-to-face learning with state-of-the-art virtual environments, independent study and guided experiential learning, putting skills into practice and reflecting on them, to best effect for our different learning communities. 5 Henley Business School at the University of Reading ‘Henley Business School combines ‘Whilst our reach and scale are the values and the collective thought genuinely global, our service and leadership of two highly respected attention to detail will always be institutions – each a leader in its personal to the needs of each student field for over 60 years – and we are and to the organisations with which justifiably proud to continue in the we work. future as one of the very few global ‘Henley Business School will develop business schools to maintain triple managers and leaders to make the accredited status. right choices; right for themselves, ‘Together we offer a compelling right for their organisations and right proposition – pragmatic and for the wider communities in which relevant programmes supported by they exist.’ the highest standards of rigorous Professor Chris Bones academic research. Dean of Henley Business School Our distinctive values Whatever the area of application our approach is underpinned by our core values: The central importance of the learners and their continuing development. The importance of character and integrity in a manager as well as capability. The importance of wealth creation for society as a whole and of building management and leadership as a contribution to the wealth and welfare of society. 6 7 Henley Business School at the University of Reading The ICMA Centre The ICMA Centre is the premier institution in Europe for undergraduate, post- graduate and executive education tailored to the capital markets industry.

Papers are preliminary drafts, circulated to stimulate discussion and critical comment. Henley Business School is triple accredited and home to over 100 academic faculty who undertake research in a wide range of fields from ethics and finance to international business and marketing. www.henley.ac.uk/research/research- centres/the-centre-for-international-business- history © Walker, February 2015 ii © Walker, February 2015 Henley Discussion Paper Series Strategic Trade Policy, Competition and Welfare: The Case of Voluntary Export Restraints between Britain and Japan (1971–2002) Abstract We evaluate the voluntary export restraint (VER) placed on Japanese automobile exports from 1977 to 1999 by the UK. We show that the policy failed to assist the British domestic car industry. Instead, UK-based US multinationals and Japanese manufacturers were the primary beneficiaries, at a substantial cost to UK consumers. While there are a number of caveats, the policy was on balance damaging to the UK economy in welfare terms.
