Triumph over old age
Triumph over old age:
Open University student Dr Edward Brech achieved Britain's first doctorate in British management history at the age of 85.
He went on to be awarded an MBE 9 years later. He was cited for services to the subject in the Queen's Birthday Honours list
in 2003. It follows his 16-year project to research, collate and write a five-volume work, The Evolution of Modern Management
in Britain 1852 to 1979, published in 2002.
"It's nice to be honoured", said Dr Brech, of Esher, Surrey. "But
more importantly, this is the first official, establishment recognition of the subject. I'd like to see it as a module on
a university syllabus."
