Overview

The School of Business offers a supportive, stimulating and friendly environment for students to pursue their studies in the undergraduate and postgraduate courses which it offers. The School sees itself as a learning community, multi-disciplinary in its interests, and developing in its students a questioning mind equipped to cope with the challenging problems posed by leading and managing organisations in the global economy.

The School has principal responsibility for the Bachelor of Business degree (which had its first intake in 2004) and contributes major sequences of study in economics and management to the BA and BSc. It also delivers much of the Graduate Management Studies Program, on campus and in distance mode, and conducts supervision of research students following the PhD program.

The academic staff of the School have achieved international recognition for their research and are sought after to work with government on policy development and evaluation. The overarching research interest of the School is in the generation of new knowledge; the application of knowledge by leaders and innovators; and the spread of new knowledge and innovations through organisations, industry sectors, economies and the world. This general focus embraces, among others, projects on international migration; the costs of changing the composition of a firm's labour force; leadership behaviour; foreign direct investment; innovation, technical standards and competition; and science and technology policy. The School is also known for its expertise in the economics of defence and defence industry and for work on the interface between economics and religion.

The School has adopted an interdisciplinary approach essential for the study of business issues in a changing and uncertain world. This approach draws together work in economics, law, psychology, statistics, accountancy, finance, leadership analysis, history, education and project management.
