The University of Oxford intends to make an appointment to the Dubai Ports (DP) World Professorship of Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the Saïd Business School. It is hoped to make an appointment as soon as possible in 2010. Following the generosity of global logistics operator DP World, the University of Oxford established the DP World Professorship of Entrepreneurship and Innovation in the Saïd Business School. The School seeks to appoint someone who has gone beyond organizational approaches to integrate institutional, social, cultural, cognitive, or political processes involved in innovation, complementing the research strengths of current faculty.
