The University of Auckland Business
School New Zealand
The
University of Auckland Business School is recognised as one of
Australasia's leading business schools. Recent assessments of research
productivity in finance, economics, marketing, management, and operations
management, rank the school very highly in Australasia. A 2000 Colmar
Brunton survey of employers employing more than one graduate per annum,
rated the reputation of The University of Auckland Business School first
in New Zealand.
The
Business School has more than 200 academic staff with doctoral and other
postgraduate degrees from more than 70 universities around the world,
offering a critical breadth of international experience to our students.
Many of the School's academic staff
enjoy
international recognition for the quality and impact of their research,
and consult widely.
The
Business School currently enrols more than 5,000 equivalent full-time
students annually and has approximately 15,000 graduates. The School has
the highest required entry standards of any business and economics faculty
in New Zealand. Two thirds of our undergraduate students have an A bursary
or equivalent.
The
Business School's strengths are complemented by the internationally
respected profile of The University of Auckland. The University is the
only New Zealand member of Universitas 21, a global consortium of
research-led universities, and the Association of Pacific-Rim
Universities. Membership of each of these consortia is limited to
research-led institutions of international reputation across a broad
spectrum of disciplines. In the 2000 Asia Week ranking of leading
universities in the Asia-Pacific region The University of Auckland ranked
first in New Zealand and fifth in Australasia on academic reputation. The
latter ranking is notable given the relative levels of expenditure on
higher education in the two countries.
The
Knowledge Wave Conference reconfirmed that New Zealand must have a world
class business school if we are to educate and train business and
organisational executives who will be genuinely competitive in the global
arena. This is fundamental among the core strategies necessary for
national competitiveness and to lift the sustainable rate of economic
growth in New Zealand. Our vision is to develop our Business School as an
internationally respected centre for business education. We believe that
The University of Auckland, as the nation's leading research-led
university, and Auckland, the nation's major commercial centre, represent
the most appropriate location for a business school of this standing.
Looking across the Tasman, we see the two leading Australian business
schools, the Australian Graduate School of Management and the Melbourne
Business School, located in the main commercial centres of Sydney and
Melbourne. The need for a world class business school in New Zealand is
driven by profound changes sweeping the world. Like others, the New
Zealand economy is being reshaped by the forces of technological
innovation and change, advances in knowledge, globalisation of business,
and a quest for economic development through accelerated business creation
and growth. Access to a continuous supply of well-educated and highly
trained business managers and executives is vital.
The globalisation of innovation, whether it is based on science,
technology, or the arts is critical to New Zealand's future
competitiveness. But a country's economic development demands more than
just the development of outstanding science and technology and the
advancement of the creative industries. It also requires the integration
of management, organisational, legal, information systems, accounting,
marketing and economic expertise. Along with the development of the
appropriate economic and regulatory infrastructure and climate, this
expertise is critical to successful innovation and its commercialisation.
