Culture
The Australian School of Business is one of Australia's leading centres for research in
the business and economics disciplines. We currently have over 230
academic staff, many of whom have international reputations in their
research fields, and over 200 postgraduate research students who
have chosen to study at UNSW from a variety of countries.
We offer funding opportunities to both staff and students,
regular
seminar series, and support for overseas conference travel to name
a few. Our staff regularly win funding for competitive ARC Projects
and our scholarships to research students are among the highest
in Australia. We have research office staff dedicated to helping
staff and current and future students achieve their research goals.
Research Strengths
We are strong in many areas of economic and commerce research,
and is committed not only to preserving our dominance in the traditional
areas of success but also to developing new areas of strength for
the coming years.
The Australian School of Business disciplines of Economics/Econometrics, Finance and
Accounting rank as among the very best in Asia.
Much of our
research strength lies in three key areas, with researchers and
research students throughout the various schools actively engaged
in a number of projects within the three broad areas of:
Markets —
including energy and environmental markets; financial markets;
labour markets and e-business, assurance and fraud prevention.
Demographic
and Workplace Change — including research related to the
aging population, health and retirement provision; management
accounting change; organisational and workplace change, organisational
sustainability and the management of labour heritage.
Asian
Engagement — including Korean-Australasian studies.
These
traditional strengths are strongly complemented by emerging areas
of excellence in the three key research domains. In particular,
there is growing expertise in the areas of:
- Asian business
- International and global marketing
- the health and safety impact of the growth of flexible employment.
