  Oxbridge elitism is 'bad for business'

  BY JOHN O'LEARY, EDUCATION EDITOR

  THE dominance of male Oxbridge graduates from
  independent schools in top jobs is endangering Britain's
  economic prospects, according to a two-year leadership
  inquiry to be published this week, which will provide
  much-needed backing for the Government's assault on
  elitism. 

  Most of Britain's rivals are tapping a wider pool of talent
  in leadership positions, the Management Charter Initiative
  (MCI) will report. 

  Narrow recruitment policies are seen as increasingly
  harmful in a world in which diversity, openness, innovation
  and creativity are crucial to economic success. 

  The study, which was jointly commissioned by the
  Department for Trade and Industry and the Department
  for Education and Employment, sought the views of
  leading figures in business, industry, the public sector and
  voluntary organisations. An e-mail survey, focus groups
  and in-depth interviews showed strong backing, especially
  among entrepreneurs, for broader recruitment to top
  management positions. 

  Professor Tom Cannon, the MCI's Chief Executive, said:
  "In Britain we seem to have a narrower, more elitist view
  of who should hold leadership roles. This poses problems
  when we need new types of entrepreneurs and innovators
  to drive our economy forward." 

  The dominance of a middle-class, public school and
  Oxbridge elite was said to lead to white, male stereotypes
  of the right forms of leadership. However, rapid change in
  world markets meant that the traditional emphasis on
  hierarchy, control and position should be replaced with a
  greater emphasis on creativity, risk-taking and
  communication.
