2 Annual Report 2010 Outlook 2011

The event also launched the new Faculty of Business and Economics and the Graduate School of Business and Economics, the Commerce Opportunity Bursaries, the return of the Sidney Myer Chair of Commerce to the Faculty, the creation of the Business and Economics Board and the endowment of a Chair in Asian Economics and Business by alumnus Dr James Riady.

For us, this was much more than just a name change. It is recognition of the fact that our Faculty and Graduate School have a key role to play in contributing to the business and economic strength of the nation, region and world through a commitment to excellence in lifelong learning.

Our new direction heralds our intention to engage business, government and the wider community to help us achieve our goals.

To this end, in 2010 we created the Business and Economics Board, chaired by Dr Peter Yates, to further strengthen our domestic and international links. We created

the Melbourne Foundation for Business and Economics to ensure that the brightest minds, regardless of background or prior opportunity will be given the chance to become the business and economic leaders of tomorrow.

The new Alumni Council was also formed to foster our valuable networks with alumni. You can read more about this in the Governance section of this report.

I am particularly proud of our achievement this year in becoming the first university in Victoria to be conferred accreditation by the Association to Advance Collegiate Business Schools International (AACSB). We are just the second university in Australia to earn both business and accounting accreditation from the AACSB. This accreditation is recognition of the continued hard work the Faculty has done to increase the quality of its educational offerings. It is further confirmation of the Faculty’s position as a dynamic centre for the education of future leaders and researchers.

To achieve both business and accounting accreditation from the AACSB for all our programs is a major achievement and a formal recognition of our commitment to excellence. This enhances our position as a national and global leader in research and teaching in the fields of Business and Economics. It will enable us to further strengthen our relationships with leading international universities and expand the opportunities we can provide to our students.

More good news followed this announcement with the release of the Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) initiative, conducted by the Australian Research Council. The results reflect that not only is the University of Melbourne the best-performing research university in the country, but we achieved the highest number of 5-star ratings, including top marks for the two big categories of ‘Economics’ and ‘Commerce and Management’.

This was also the year the University of Melbourne achieved a ranking of 36th in the world in the Times Higher Education World University rankings, making us the No. 1 ranked university in Australia.

Message from the Dean

In 2010, we celebrated an important milestone in the Faculty’s history with the launch of new names for both the Faculty and the Graduate School. On 1 January 2010 our name change became official and 22 February marked a turning point in the history of the Faculty and the University with the official opening of our new building at 198 Berkeley Street, Carlton by the Governor-General of Australia, Her Excellency Ms Quentin Bryce.


The FBE also played a key role in the University’s ranking as the first and only Australian university to appear in the Top 100 of the Business and Economics subject ranking in the Shanghai Jiao Tong University rankings. Further to this, success in the Australian Research Council funding round continues to both reflect on and build our capacity to bring cutting-edge research into the classroom to make a relevant and dynamic learning experience.

Our new economics doctoral program, to be offered for the first time in 2011, is an example of the Faculty’s great capacity to respond to the demands of business and industry and lead the way in business and economics education. The new 4-year program adopts a structure widely acknowledged as international best practice, including both research and coursework and will be the only program of its kind in Australia. Graduates will no longer feel compelled to look to the United States or Europe to receive enhanced economics training. Our economists are ranked amongst the top in Australia and we have developed a doctoral program befitting that rank.

Once again researchers in the Faculty have had outstanding success in the arena of research grants, with a staggering success rate of 64%, well above the average success rate for both the University and the scheme nationally.

Academics recognised for their excellence included Professors Cynthia Hardy, Management and Marketing and Mark Wooden, Melbourne Institute, who were appointed as Fellows of the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia and Associate Professor Neville Norman, Department of Economics, who received the Economic Society of Australia’s Honorary Fellow Award. Please read more about our exceptional academics and research outcomes in the news and research sections of this report.

Our outstanding students have continued to make me proud of the quality and dedication not only of those students involved, but of the academic and professional staff who support them. In February, a team from the Faculty of Business and Economics won the prestigious Marshall International Case Competition at the University

of Southern California, pitting their wits against teams from 29 business schools around the world for the coveted trophy.

In summary, 2010 has been a landmark year in the history of the Faculty. As we move forward into 2011 in partnership with our many friends in business, government and the broader community, I look forward to further cementing our position as a leading business and economics school in the region. The Faculty of Business and Economics has embarked on a journey in new directions, yet our vision remains true to our founder’s goals – that we are a public-spirited University; and our charter now – as in the past – is to improve the economic and social well-being of those around us.

I hope you will read this report of our 2010 activities and our goals and plans for 2011 with interest.

Undergraduate Programs

OverviewAt an undergraduate level the Faculty of Business and Economics offers:> Bachelor of Commerce> Bachelor of Commerce (Honours)

The Bachelor of Commerce degree is a three-year full-time program. It comprises a core program of five compulsory subjects. Students then must choose a major from one or more of Accounting, Actuarial Studies, Business, Economics, Finance, Management or Marketing.

The honours degree is a challenging and rewarding year of additional study, equipping students with research skills and deeper knowledge of their chosen field.

Our honours graduates are highly sought within the corporate sector, and many also go on to complete further study at masters or PhD levels within Australia or overseas.

The BCom in 2010The total number of students enrolled in the BCom in 2010, either as a single degree or as a combined degree, was 6,165.

Results of the 2009 Graduate Destination Survey were released in 2010, showing Faculty Bachelor graduates continue to perform well. A snapshot of outcomes were:

> Of the Business and Economics graduates who were available for full-time work, 84% were working full-time

> Median annual salary $52,625 (national averages: accounting was $45,000 and economics/business was $45,000)1.

In 2010 the first recipients of the Commerce Opportunity Bursary, Jonathan Yoon and Sandhya Manchikanti commenced their studies in the Bachelor of Commerce. The Commerce Opportunity Bursary is awarded to two students each year with financial or other hardships.

The undergraduate programs offered by The Faculty of Business and Economics are led by Professor Paul Kofman, Deputy Dean (Faculty).

Outlook for 2011Demand for the BCom for commencement in 2011 remained strong and attracted the very brightest of students. In 2011, the Clearly-In Rank for a Commonwealth supported place in the BCom was 94.1 representing the top 6% of students in the state.

An increase in the number of offers made – a total of 804 compared to 746 in 2010 contributed to this slight drop from the 2010 Clearly- In-Rank of 94.8.

This continues to signify a consistently positive market response to quality of the Melbourne Bachelor of Commerce.

In 2011 the first Bachelor of Commerce student recipients of two new Faculty scholarships will commence their course. The First in the Family scholarship will be awarded to six students who are the first in their family to attend university. The Copland Scholar Program offers a scholarship and leadership opportunities to high achieving students. The first group of 15 students will commence in 2011.1 Graduate Careers Australia, Gradstats, Number 14 December 2009, Graduate Careers

Australia, www.graduatecareers.com.au/ucm/groups/content/documents/document/gca001225.pdf The national figures are based on Australian resident bachelor degree graduates aged less than 25 years and working in their first full-time job.


The Graduate School of Business and Economics

OverviewThe Graduate School of Business and Economics provides business and economics education for recent graduates, for professionals in the early and middle stages of their career and one of the strongest PhD programs in Australia.

Specialist degrees span the disciplines of Accounting, Actuarial Studies, Business and IT, Economics, Finance, Human Resource Management, International Business, Management and Marketing.

Under the leadership of the Director, Professor Gregory Whitwell, the team of professional staff in the GSBE provides a high standard of service and support for students – including a targeted program of orientation and transition for new students, a comprehensive suite of academic enrichment and professional development activities, support for student groups, as well as the day to day management of student affairs.

At the GSBE, students enjoy excellent career outcomes, rewarding classroom experiences and high levels of support for their academic and professional development.

Achievements in 2010The first year under our new name of the Graduate School of Business and Economics has been a great one. Building on the very popular Global Business Practicum subject, which is expanding in 2011 to include Mumbai, we introduced a local version, the Melbourne Business Practicum in 2010. With its projects focussing on the theme of sustainability, the MBP has been a great success in its first year and, to add to the suite, we will be trialling a regional version in rural Victoria in 2011. Each practicum is an intensive subject, with at its heart, a two week in-company team consulting project.

There were 1,785 graduate students enrolled in coursework and research masters programs in 2010, with 105 students enrolled in PhD programs across varying disciplines. This is an increase from over 1,660 total enrolments in 2009. These students come from Australia and many other countries, and bring with them diverse cultural backgrounds and professional experience.

The GSBE continued to use the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) across most of our programs, while the Graduate

Record Examination (GRE) was used specifically for studies with a research component in Economics and Actuarial Studies. These tests provide a consistent and standardised basis for evaluation, and are used in leading business and economics schools throughout the world. The use of the GMAT and the GRE ensure that the Faculty continues to attract staff and students of the highest calibre.

The official Course Experience Questionnaire results for 2010 revealed a significant and continuing improvement, most notably on the overall satisfaction scale. The federal government’s Graduate Destination Survey for 2010 showed that, despite the global financial crisis, the proportion of our graduates in full-time employment was not only high but increasing. This is an important validation of the quality of our students and of the education they receive at the GSBE.

Professor Gregory Whitwell, Deputy Dean and Director (Graduate School of Business and Economics)


Outlook 2011An important development in 2010 was our decision to introduce, from 2011, a wide variety of graduate certificates and graduate diplomas to suit those who do not necessarily want to commit to a full masters degree. Three new Graduate Certificate programs were created, in the disciplines of Marketing and Management. These programs were developed to meet perceived needs in these areas, as well as to assist in positioning the GSBE as an attractive part-time study option for local students already working full-time. We will also be introducing in 2011 the new Master of Actuarial Science degree.

OverviewDuring 2010 we developed and delivered customised executive education programs in many areas of professional and technical education, with academic input from multiple departments. These executive education programs ranged from those that were: > Co-branded with a corporate

client > Accessible to a single corporate

entity (non public) > Incorporating content that is

kept from the public domain (commercial in confidence and confidential data)

> Delivered in the workplace, both domestically and internationally

> Accessible to clients through an approved recognition of professional experience pathway

> Delivered and assessed in languages other than English.

Achievements in 2010During 2010, clients for Executive Education included organisations from the banking sector, accounting industry, higher education and State Government. A new specialist executive education program was launched in Supply Chain Management. The program is aimed at developing the next generation of supply chain leaders across and outside Australia and was designed in close collaboration with industry leaders and practitioners. Its content and processes are innovative in covering key strategic issues and opportunities faced by supply chain managers.

Outlook 2011Our goal in 2011 is to help experienced professionals reach new levels of leadership within their careers and expand partnerships for executive education. The Faculty and Graduate School can provide unparalleled opportunities for business success by providing exclusive access to the talent, thought-leadership and world-class reputation of the University. We have a suite of open programs for executives that can be taken individually or as a Specialist Certificate in Executive Leadership including advanced topics in governance, risk management, strategy and marketing.

A key component of our mission is to deliver executive education programs.These programs are designed to help individuals continue to expand their leadership abilities and keep up to date with the latest ideas. Executive education is used by organisations to support and nurture talent and develop, challenge and retain future leaders through award and nonaward programs.

The ability to take executive education offerings in bite-sized chunks in our open or custom programs allows access to cutting-edge ideas without the commitment of a two-year masters program. It is often in the executive education classroom where an individual’s passion for study is rekindled.

Professor Simon Bell, Chair of Marketing and Academic Director of Executive Education

The student centres provide a comprehensive range of services, such as administrative and transactional services, course planning advice and graduate study advice, study abroad, exchange, volunteering and community engagement activities, and referral to specialist services.

Student ExperienceThe many programs, opportunities and events available to students under the banner of ‘Student Experience’ continued to distinguish the Faculty as a market leader in the area of student enrichment. The services, facilities and support we provide extend beyond the classroom to enrich learning, maintain well-being and prepare students to realise their potential as leaders and effective global citizens.

Student Experience opportunities include: > Case study competitions > Student clubs and societies > Study abroad and exchange > Work experience and internships > Career workshops > Mentor programs > Social and cultural events.

Business and Economics Careers Centre The Business and Economics Careers Centre (BECC) plays an important role in ensuring that graduates are able to maximise their career opportunities while engaged in study and upon completion of their degrees. The BECC provides tailored support services for students of the Graduate School of Business and Economics, as well as engagement opportunities to employer and industry organisations.

With the aim to “ACCESS, ENGAGE, and ACHIEVE” the centre’s professional team offers innovative, user-friendly and discipline specific career programs which add value to the other career related services and resources available at the University.

During 2010, the Careers Centre registered close to 2000 engage-ments with nearly 600 individual students who took steps towards their career success through individual, as well as group activities and services including: > Initial career interviews for new

students during the first month of semester to map out individual career plans

> ‘Graduate Careers Program’ not for credit career development subject made up of weekly interactive seminars

The Department of Accounting and Business Information Systems is committed to intellectual leadership in accounting education and research in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. As one of the largest and oldest accounting departments in Australia, it attracts a high calibre of staff and students.

Many of the Department’s academic staff have experience in industry and the profession and have the expertise to blend theoretical and practical knowledge in their teaching. We ensure that students embed global and cultural perspectives through their knowledge of international accounting standards and practice. Strong links to the community and industry allow the Department to tap into current issues and industry requirements, work with leaders and offer the best teaching and learning practices to students.

The Department of Accounting and Business Information Systems undertakes leading edge research in accounting and disseminates this domestically and internationally through publication in leading journals. The Department has an on-going leadership role in research through involvement on editorial boards of leading international journals and executive contributions to key academic bodies. A number of the Department’s academic staff currently hold Australian Research Council grants in a broad range of fields.

ACHIEvEMENTS IN 2010

The Department has continued to build on the excellence of its teaching programs, research, knowledge transfer activities and service through a number of significant achievements in 2010:

The Department’s 71st Annual Research Lecture, on the topic of continuous auditing, was held on

11 October. The Annual Research Lecture, held in conjunction with CPA Australia, is the longest running lecture series at the University and was established for the purpose of promoting and encouraging research and original contributions to accounting. The lecture was extremely well attended with over 200 staff, members of the accounting profession and the general public in attendance. The lecture was given by Professor Miklos Vasarhelyi, KPMG Professor of Accounting Information Systems and Director of the Continuous Auditing and Reporting Laboratory (CarLab) at Rutgers University, USA.

The Australian Accounting Hall of Fame, established by the Centre for Accounting and Industry Partnerships (CAIP), celebrated the significant contributions of distinguished accounting practitioners and academics at its inaugural dinner on 8 October. The five inaugural inductees were: Ms Elizabeth Alexander FCPA, non-executive director of Boral, CSL and DB RREEF, and advisor to Blake Dawson’s corporate team; Ray Chambers AO, the first non-American to be included in the Ohio Accounting Hall of Fame; Sir Alex Fitzgerald OBE; Professor Philip Brown, University of New South Wales and Emeritus Professor of University of Western Australia and Emeritus Professor Reg Gynther of the University of Queensland.

CAIP’s 2010 Executive-in- Residence program began with two high-calibre business leaders sharing their business expertise with students, staff, and other stakeholders. The success of the program will continue with four executives being appointed and ‘in residence’ during 2011 and several others already indicating a strong interest in participating during 2012.

The Department received a number of visits in 2010 from its Honorary Professorial Fellows appointed to develop on-going research links with some of the major universities in Europe and America. This investment in scholarly leadership has stimulated debate on critical issues in the accounting domain and strengthened the Department’s teaching and research programs.

While Professor John Lyon took sabbatical leave, Professor Anne Lillis served as Acting Head of Department for the second half of 2010. The Department was grateful for the strong leadership Anne provided during a very busy term as Head.

OUTlOOK FOR 2011

A core committee has been established to commence a comprehensive review of the Accounting specialisation. The clarity and consistency of learning goals and objectives as well as the development of generic skills will be key as the Department works to ensure the content and delivery of programs meet both the diverse needs of the changing student profile and the expectations of employers. With a review of the Information Communication Technology disciplines at the University underway, the Business Information Systems area will be a focus as the Faculty works with the University to implement the most effective structure for the organisation of IT-related fields. Notwithstanding the outcome of the review, the Department will remain committed to ensuring Accounting Information Systems maintains a strong, vibrant and highly visible presence as an area for teaching and learning, industry engagement and research.

The Department of Economics is the leading Economics department in Australia. It is a large department with 51 teaching and research staff and 9 professional staff. The Department includes the Centre for Actuarial Studies.

The Department is committed to achieving the highest standards in research through publishing in leading international journals and international quality research on the Australian economy and economic policy issues.

There is a strong emphasis within the Department on encouraging research culture and promoting collaboration. Major areas of research are: economic theory; econometric theory; microeconomic and macroeconomic analysis and policy design; the Australian macroeconomy; operation of financial markets; health and well-being; Asian economies and the economics of international trade and development; and economics of education.

A high value is placed on the teaching program quality. The objective is to offer excellent and innovative teaching in undergraduate

and graduate programs and a set of subjects which meets the requirements of students and is up-to-date with developments in the disciplines of economics, econometrics and actuarial studies. Teaching covers the core areas of microeconomics, macroeconomics and quantitative methods/ econometrics, as well as most other specialist areas such as monetary economics, game theory, development economics, environmental economics, economic history and actuarial science.

There is a long tradition within the Department of providing policy advice and expert opinions to government and private organisations. Members of the Department serve on government inquiries and boards, and undertake work for a wide variety of international agencies.


Research continues to be a major achievement with the Department achieving its aim of regularly publishing in the world’s top journals – 60% of the publications were in ERA rated A* or A journals. Six new ARC Discovery Grants and one new ARC Linkage grant were awarded

to either individual researchers or research teams having at least one Department member. This was a 90% success rate, well above the national average success rate.

A highlight in 2010 was the approval of the 4 year Doctoral Program to be offered from 2011. This program is the first of its kind in Australia and is in line with best international practice.

The Department of Finance was formally established in July 2001, although finance subjects were taught at the University for many years prior to that date.


The Department has grown substantially since its inception, from just over 700 full-time students in 2002 to over 1,000 in 2010. Staffing levels have also expanded from 15 academics in 2002 to 28 academics in 2010. The finance specialisation is very much in demand with more than 1,200 BCom students graduating with a major in finance. The Department continues to offer a particularly strong Honours program with an intake restricted to around 40 of the very best undergraduate students majoring in finance. The Honours program is well established across Australia and New Zealand with more applications coming every year from the best interstate and trans-Tasman universities.

The Department offers a suite of postgraduate programs, ranging from the practitioner-oriented Master of Applied Finance and Master of Finance, to the more research focused Master of Commerce in Finance and PhD in Finance with coursework. Beginning in 2009, the non-cognate pre-experience Master of Management (Finance), was added to the available course offerings – with promising student intakes in 2009 and 2010 underlining the ever increasing interest in high quality finance education.

RESEARCH

While maintaining its reputation for a high quality teaching curriculum, the Department simultaneously focuses on high quality, high impact research in the various sub-disciplines of finance. Current research interests of department staff include asset pricing, derivatives and risk management, corporate finance, market micro-

structure, financial institutions, real estate finance, financial econometrics, finance education and international finance. An unequivocal focus on highest quality research is generating an increasing number of publications in top tier journals. To support its research activities, the Department has access to a large number of financial databases, including the Wharton Research Databases (WRDS), Datastream, Bloomberg and IRESS. The emphasis on a strong research culture is making its mark on the Department’s annual recruitment of junior academics with high quality applicants from the very best international graduate schools.

In 2010, academics within the Department of Finance had articles accepted for publication in such journals as: the Journal of Financial Economics, Accounting and Finance, and the Journal of Banking and Finance, as well as presenting papers at many national and international conferences including the American Finance Association, Western Finance Association, European Finance Association, and Financial Management Association meetings.

The department also congratulated Zhenhua Liu for successfully completing the requirements for the award of a PhD in Finance with his thesis, “State Ownership, Sovereign Wealth Funds and Firm Performance”.

ENGAGEMENT WITH INDUSTRy

The third strand of departmental activities involves the interaction between academic staff and the finance profession. Staff members are involved in a wide range of continuing education and executive programs and have strong links with finance practitioners and financial institutions. A particularly effective conduit for the Department’s engagement activities is provided by the Australian Centre for Financial Studies (ACFS), established in 2005 as the Melbourne Centre for Financial Studies with the University

of Melbourne as a founding member. The ACFS mission is to enhance Melbourne’s reputation as an international centre of financial practice, research and education. Since its inception, the ACFS has undertaken and facilitated a range of research projects, consulting activities and various educational activities, workshops and symposia.

ACADEMIC lINKS

Enhancing its teaching, research, and engagement activities, the Department hosts a large number of prominent international visiting academics from all over the world and has established particularly strong links with a group of finance academics from the Stern School of Business at New York University. The research culture in the Department is further enhanced by a prestigious Research Seminar Series which, in 2010, included speakers from UC Berkeley, National University of Singapore, NYU, UCLA, and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.

In 2010 the Department of Finance hosted its annual ‘Finance Down Under’ conference as well as the Society for Financial Econometrics (SoFiE)(Asia) Conference. These well-attended events included presenters and/or speakers from Harvard Business School, London School of Economics, and the University of Pennsylvania.

OUTlOOK 2011

The Department of Finance begins 2011 in a new location. As of December, 2010, the Department is located in ‘The Spot’ at 198 Berkeley Street. The Spot is one of the newest buildings on campus, officially launched in February, 2010, with state-of-the-art facilities and a five star energy rating. We’re looking forward to continuing to provide quality teaching and research in the finance discipline from our new ‘home’.

The overarching pedagogical aim of the Department is to help students develop strong leadership, decision-making, and analytical capabilities that draw on cutting edge conceptual and practical developments in management and marketing.

RESEARCH

The Department is committed to maintaining its strong international research reputation and currently supports four research centres: the Melbourne International Business Research Unit, the Foundation for Sustainable Economic Development, the Centre for Human Resource Management and the International Centre for Research in Organisational Discourse, Strategy and Change. The strength of the research is evidenced by the granting of three ARC grants during 2010 and a further two grants from 2011.

ENGAGEMENT WITH INDUSTRy

In 2010 we hosted the 25th Annual Foenander Lecture, presented by Dr Simon Longstaff, as well as the inaugural Isaac Industrial Relations Symposium, with a key note address by Professor Bruce Kaufman and offered in conjunction with Monash University. Both events attracted large audiences from a variety of levels in the human resource and industrial relations industries.

Academic staff are engaged in a variety of consulting and research projects including a growing emphasis on executive education. The Department offers a rewarding experience to students and employers alike through case study based subjects or real-life consultancy project based subjects.

These are considered to be capstone experiences for the students and are particularly focused on effective team work in a time critical environment.

The Department utilises its prominent position in the fields of expertise encompassed within it to develop close ties with a broad range of leading academics from around the world. This results in eminent visitors giving seminars and supporting or collaborating on research in a range of ways throughout the year. The strongly supported Seminar Series is vibrant with internal and external speakers presenting their latest research and fascinating findings to audiences of PhD candidates and academic staff.

OUTlOOK 2011

During 2010 the Department of Management and Marketing undertook a comprehensive review of its programs, considering issues such as sequencing, complementary coverage of topics and relevance to students. The resultant curriculum map clearly shows that pedagogy and appeal have been maximised and that painting clear pathways through streams of study will lead to students gaining greater satisfaction as anticipated outcomes are realised. In addition, the prospect of greater involvement with Executive Education programs offers opportunities for the creation of innovative and purpose built activities, strengthening meaningful links with industry leaders across the spectrum.

Professor Cynthia Hardy, Management and Marketing and Professor Mark Wooden, Melbourne Institute, were appointed as Fellows of the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia. Fellows of the Academy are elected by their peers on the basis of having achieved a very high level of scholarly distinction and for having made a distinguished contribution to one or more disciplines of the social sciences. Associate Professor Neville Norman, Department of Economics, received the Economic Society of Australia’s Honorary Fellow Award.

The Melbourne Institute was awarded a major research project following a competitive tender process with the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (DEECD). The agreement is to work in partnership with DEECD to inform new approaches at improving the outcomes of children in Victoria. To implement the project the Melbourne Institute will establish a research program called the Economics of Education and Child Development.

This year the University became the first and only Australian university to be listed in the Economics and Business category subject ranking for the influential Shanghai Jiao Tong University ranking of universities. The University was ranked equal second in the region in this category (with National University of Singapore and Chinese University of Hong Kong) after Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.

In 2010 an exercise to provide a comprehensive basis for benchmarking the Faculty’s research output against other Go8 and international universities was undertaken. The Faculty’s output with regard to research funding, publications and citations was measured through sources such as the Australian Research Council funding data, Thompson Reuters Web of Science and Google Scholar. It was concluded that the Faculty has performed very well in a national context and that whilst we do well internationally with regard to the number of papers we could improve our citations per paper. The Faculty will update the findings of this exercise in 2011.

As the founding Dean of the Faculty, Professor Douglas Copland observed that business and economics education is likely to be much more successful if it springs from the needs of industry and is supported by industry leaders. Active partnerships ensure that the Faculty continues to be of service to the community in providing expert advice on critical issues that relate to economic and social well being; by meeting the ongoing education needs of industry and government and by connecting the academy with current challenges faced by business leaders.

Members of the Faculty of Business and Economics engage with the broader community through our ongoing research collaborations with industry, government and the not-for-profit sector.

In turn, representatives of the business community, government and non-profit bodies provide major input into the activities of the Faculty through membership of advisory boards, participation in conferences and seminars and engagement with our students.

In partnership with industry By fostering strong and mutually beneficial partnerships with business and community leaders, we can deliver challenging and rigorous programs for students that best reflect the realities of contemporary society and equip our graduates to enter the global, dynamic world of business with confidence. The connections we forge with organisations, through our alumni, the Business and Economics Board and the newly created Foundation for Business and Economics ensure that we keep this promise.

Guest speakers from industry, executives in residence, industry mentors, host companies for business practicum subjects, sponsorship of student events are a few examples of how organisations can work with us to support teaching and learning outcomes. In turn, our friends in the business community gain brand profile and industry recognition and increase their opportunities to recruit the most talented students into their organisations.

Access to ongoing education for experience has assisted organisations to gain a competitive edge and support the development of human capital. In 2010, the Graduate School of Business and Economics partnered with the Australian Scholarships Foundation to provide targeted development opportunities for leaders from the not-for-profit sector.

Business, government and not- for-profit organisations also draw upon our research expertise. In 2010 the Faculty offered client driven research as well as professional advice, expert witness services, testing and surveys.

One recent example of this is the publication of the fourth edition of the Index of Australian Industry. The report is a comprehensive, inter-industry, multi-indicator approach to measuring the rate of innovative activity in Australia. It embraces six different dimensions of innovation which have all been adjusted for the level of economic activity. Accordingly, the Innovation Index is a measure of the proportion of total activity that is taken up with innovative endeavours.

Engagement with business and community

Since its establishment in 1924, the Faculty of Business and Economics has been the leading business school in Australia and the region. We have renewed our focus and commitment to developing active linkages with business, government and the community.


Career Mentoring Program The Business and Economics Career Mentoring Program is a significant step towards success for the students who are matched for 10 months with industry mentors according to their degree specialisation and professional areas of interest. The Career Mentors come from a very wide range of professional fields from the private and public sectors alike, many of them University of Melbourne alumni. These successful mentor-mentee relationships enable students to gain insights into specific industries and begin to develop personal and professional networks.

In 2010, the 162 mentors from large, medium and small organisations including Deloitte, NAB, ANZ, KPMG, JP Morgan Chase Bank Berhad, Australia Post, Transurban, Cubit Media Research, IBM, Telstra, DWS, Australian Government and the University of Melbourne made a difference in the life of 189 students.

Work Integrated Learning The value of out of classroom Work Integrated Learning (WIL) and participation is being recognised by both the University and employers who recruit our graduates and WIL has developed significantly during the year. In 2010 the Business and Economics Careers Centre offered three types of WIL programs; Melbourne Business Practicum (MBP)- an accredited subject, offered intensively in July and February, Internships – paid, part time experience during the year and Volunteer unpaid, part time experiences predominantly with not-for-profit organisations.

All these engagements enabled more than 100 students to apply the knowledge they have acquired through their studies to real life situations to the benefit of the host organisation and their own professional skill development. Host organisations included NAB, Royal Botanic Gardens, Committee For Melbourne

Business ConsultingThe Department of Management and Marketing and the Commerce Student Centre continue to receive positive feedback about the third-year capstone subject, Business Consulting (formerly called Business Practicum).

Students work in teams of four to provide a consultancy for a client organisation. In semester 2, 2010 participation in the subject increased by 50%, with 18 projects across 15 clients, and 72 students (up from 12 projects and 48 students in semester 1, 2010), with an aim to keep numbers at 18 projects / 72 students in the future.

Students worked with a diverse range of client organisations across all sectors, ranging from large companies such as Adecco Group, CEVA Logistics and Telstra, to not-for-profit organisations such as the Committee for Melbourne, Kildonan UnitingCare and Mission Australia, and a variety of SMEs including The Taboo Group, as well as local governments such as the City of Boroondara.

University of Melbourne Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE)Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) is a non-profit worldwide student organisation developing community projects to drive social change.

The University of Melbourne SIFE team is constantly striving to set new benchmarks with revolutionary projects, an entrepreneurial approach and an energetic and dedicated team of over 70 students. Its purpose is threefold – to improve the lives of others by strengthening communities, to engage the business world in project partnerships, and to create a new generation of socially responsible business leaders. UoM projects target a broad range of issues such as environmental sustainability, employment for the socially disadvantaged, and, through our first international project, the development of a sustainable livelihood for small enterprises in the developing world.

In 2010, the University of Melbourne SIFE team’s achievements included: > SIFE Australia National First

Building on the quality of its academic programs and learning facilities, and with the support of a strong alumni network, the Faculty maintained its commitment to recruiting high quality staff and students, its active engagement with the business community, and through academic networks and bilateral participations with leading international business and economics schools. The Faculty offers a generous scholarship scheme that aims to provide access and to recruit high achieving local and international students.

In 2010 there were 3,744 international students representing 72 nationalities studying across the range of programs offered by the Faculty.

Some of our internationalisation highlights in 2010 included: > Successful pilot programs in Hong

Kong and Shanghai to establish the Global Consulting Project

> Excellent achievements in international case competitions, with our BCom students winning the prestigious Marshall International Case Competition at the Marshall School of Business, Los Angeles and placing second in the Thammasat Undergraduate Business Challenge, Thammasat University in Bangkok. Our students also competed in the Business School Champions Trophy, University of Auckland, Global Business Case Competition at the Foster School of Business, University of Washington in Seattle and the Copenhagen Business School Case Competition in Denmark.

Global mobility opportunities An important part of the Faculty’s and University’s global engagement agenda is ensuring that our students have a genuinely international experience, both through the diversity of our cohort and through the opportunity to study at our partner institutions overseas. The number of our students studying overseas on exchange has continued to increase and in 2010, over one hundred undergraduate and graduate students studied on exchange at more than 20 partner universities in 10 different countries. In return we welcomed over 200 students from our study abroad and exchange partners to the Faculty.

GlOBAl BUSINESS PRACTICUM

In addition to its many exchange activities, the Faculty also offers its students short-term global mobility opportunities. In 2010, 80 masters-level students successfully completed the intensive Global Business Practicum (GBP) subject. The destinations were Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Beijing and Bangkok.

Expanding into India in 2011, the GBP has proved to be very popular with positive feedback from both the students and the host companies. In each city, 20 students, led by an academic co-ordinator, are assigned in teams to a range of companies to undertake a 10-day work project.

HONG KONG AND SHANGHAI INDUSTRy PROJECTS

Based on the success of the graduate Global Business Practicum, the Student Experience team in the Commerce Student Centre piloted a new capstone opportunity that gave Bachelor of Commerce students the opportunity to complete an intensive business project overseas.

The pilot was developed in 2009 and received significant interest from students. Twelve students were selected to travel to Hong Kong in January 2010 with an academic supervisor, Dr Tine Koehler from the Department of Management and Marketing. In teams of four, the students completed a 10-day project for DDB Advertising, Aviate Global and Rouse Legal in Hong Kong. A second program was held in Shanghai in July 2010, this time with sixteen students accompanied by Dr Jill Lei from the Department of Management and Marketing. Students completed projects for DDB Advertising, Standard Chartered Bank, Rapid Offshore Group and Coles Group Asia.

This program has been developed into a for-credit subject for 2011 called Global Consulting Project.

Global EngagementMaintaining a strong global engagement portfolio is an integral part of the assessment of the Faculty as one of the leading business and economics schools worldwide. The Faculty prides itself on its strong culture of internationalisation and global outlook in teaching and learning, research, and engagement activities.
