DIRECTOR’S ADDRESS

HIGHLIGHTS OF 2010 • As a result of growth in all programs and our new energy and resources courses, the CGSB is now one of the largest executive business schools in the region as we achieved the milestone of over 1000 enrolled postgraduate students in 2010. • Strong growth in the Master of Business Leadership (MBL) since its relaunch in 2009. The MBL had a record intake in 2010 cementing its long-standing reputation as a solid postgraduate degree in leadership.

2010

was a year of achievement and change for the Curtin Graduate School of Business (CGSB). With our growing reputation of being a graduate business school that is able to hold its own globally in all areas of graduate management education, the most exciting aspect of CGSB’s growth is that there the potential and opportunity to achieve even more. Staff movements in 2010 saw us welcoming new academic and professional staff and saying good-bye to some longstanding members of the CGSB. Professor Peter Galvin, MBA Director, accepted a senior position at Newcastle University in the UK. During his tenure in this position, Peter unwaveringly guided the Curtin MBA to an enviable position of strength, not only locally but globally. I would like to thank Peter for his commitment to the CGSB and wish him the best. I would particularly acknowledge in name the inestimable support I have received from the CGSB senior management team, Professor Duncan Bentley (Pro Vice Chancellor of Curtin Business School), Deputy Pro Vice Chancellor Joan Squelch, the CGSB Advisory Board, all CGSB academic and professional staff, the CGSB student body and the CGSB Alumni. I hope you will ﬁnd the documentation of CGSB achievements during 2010 enjoyable and a testament to the continued efforts to position CGSB as leading provider of graduate management education regionally and internationally. Professor Alison Preston Director Curtin Graduate School of Business

• The official commencement of our Energy and Resources courses at the CGSB. In 2010, the MBA (Oil and Gas) as well as the Master of Science (Mineral and Energy Economics), saw its first enrolments. We welcomed new staff members and Industry Teaching Associates, all experts in their various fields to add depth and breadth to these specialised courses. • The CGSB continued to improve its international reputation and standing as evidenced by the MBA moving up 17 places in the annual Which MBA? survey conducted by The Economist. Our MBA ranked at #76 in this global survey, up from #93 in 2009. The Curtin MBA was awarded the CEL (teChnology Enhanced Learning) accreditation for its online component by the prestigious European Foundation of Management Development (EFMD). • Our national status was also improved by the invition to Dr Linley Lord to deliver the annual Clare Burton Memorial Lecture to audiences in most Australian capital cities. Her lecture, Moving beyond token women: The need for radical reform in corporate Australia was received very favourably and sparked much needed debate about this topic. • An AUSAID initiative, the Australian Leadership Development Program, which is administered by staff at the CGSB, also saw record participation due to increased funding by the Rudd government in 2009. Eligibility criteria were also expanded, almost doubling the number of nations’ emerging leaders able to apply for the program. The emphasis has shifted from the Asia-Pacific region to a more global reach. • The CGSB strengthened its research focus in energy, minerals and regional development through significant achievements in its research activities. Professor Fiona McKenzie, Professorial Research Fellow at the CGSB was chosen to lead the Regional Futures project for the CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation) Mineral Futures Collaboration Cluster. Prolific CGSB researchers Dr Jeremy Galbreath and Assoc Professor Therese Jefferson were recipients of the highly competitive and prestigious Australian Research Council (ARC) grants.

Murray Street Library

he Murray Street Library closed in 2010 for a major refurbishment which will see its relocation to the ground level of the CGSB. Limited services were still offered and available as library staff were cognisant of the importance the Library has for our post-graduate students. Students continued to have access to a wealth of online resources via the web to support their study and research. A collection service between the TL Robertson Library and the CGSB remains in action and overseen by the Student Services team. Regular visits from the Faculty Librarian eased the transition for students. The Library continued to provide Library skills, Endnote and Database classes for CGSB students. A dedicated CGSB library skills page was also set up on the main Library website. We would like to thank our long-serving Library staff, Marianne Hall and Singam Veerapathiran for their many years of great service to the staff and students of the CGSB.

INTERNATIONAL VALIDATION The Economist MBA Survey

n 2010 the Curtin MBA, delivered at the CGSB, was ranked at #76 by The Economist magazine in the prestigious Global Top 100 ranking of full-time MBA programs. It is a fantastic achievement for the School, particularly given our ranking at 93rd in 2009. This time around we ranked 23rd in the world on the criterion of personal development and student quality. This criterion includes faculty quality, student quality, student diversity and educational experience. Only ﬁve Australian MBA programs were ranked in The Economist Global Top 100 WhichMBA? Survey. In descending order they are: Melbourne Business School, Monash University, Macquarie Graduate School of Management, Curtin Graduate School of Business and University of Queensland. The Curtin Graduate School of Business is ranked eighth in a list of Asian and Australian schools and is the only school offering an internationally ranked and internationally accredited MBA program in WA. In a year that saw considerable movement across the entire Top 100 group, we were able to move up the rankings on the basis of a range of activities outside of the classroom. This year we complemented the high quality teaching and service offered at the CGSB with a new ‘Build Your Career’ series and Business Leaders Series as well as other new skills enhancing projects including consultancy work with local employers. Thanks go to the CGSB Advisory Board and the staff at the CGSB for their contribution to this achievement.

EFMD CEL Accreditation

he CGSB was delighted to announce that on the 20th of December 2010 the MBA program was awarded the EFMD accreditation for teChnology-Enhanced Learning (CEL). It marked another important achievement for the School and all involved in the delivery of our online programs. The fundamental objective of the EFMD CEL programme is to raise the standard of technology-enhanced learning programmes worldwide. EFMD CEL aims to facilitate standard setting, benchmarking, mutual learning, and the dissemination of good practice. It allows for different approaches and diversity in designing and implementing such programmes. EFMD CEL is directed towards educational management programmes incorporating ICT-based learning. Thanks go particularly to CGSB’s Professor Rick Ladyshewsky. Rick was the CEL Project Leader and played a critical role throughout the process. Others who deserve special mention are Professor Joan Squelch (CBS Deputy Pro Vice Chancellor), Professor Alison Preston, (Director CGSB), Debra Jordan (CGSB) and Carol Dowse (CBS Accreditation and Quality Manager) who all gave great support in project managing the accreditation process.

2010 CLARE BURTON LECTURE

(L-R) Melissa Marinelli (recipient of the 2010 Clare Burton Memorial Scholarship), Dr Linley Lord (CGSB), Prof Jeanette Hacket (VC, Curtin University), Hon Robyn McSweeney (Minister for Women’s Interests), Jenni Perkins (Dir-Gen, Dept for Communities), Debra Clements (Dept for Child Protection), Amanda Willis (Director, Corporate Values and Equity, Curtin)

r Linley Lord, the outgoing Course Director for the Master of Business Leadership and the incoming Director of the Maureen Bickley Centre at CGSB, was chosen to deliver the prestigious Annual Clare Burton Memorial Lecture Series for 2010. Starting in October Dr. Linley Lord traveled to all Australian capital cities delivering the lecture entitled Moving beyond token women: The need for radical reform in corporate Australia. In addition Linley received very positive feedback as well as media coverage, including The Sydney Morning Herald.

Her lecture has sparked a national debate on the need to take on tokenistic measures in gender policy in the boardroom and the need for legislative change to address the imbalance of women on prominent boards. Congratulations to Linley for being chosen to deliver this prestigious lecture.

CSIRO MINERALS DOWN UNDER FLAGSHIP

he CGSB’s commitment to social and environmental stewardship is reflected in its many research activities. Professor Fiona McKenzie, Professorial Research Fellow at the CGSB currently leads the Regional Futures project for the CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation) Mineral Futures Collaboration Cluster. She is also Chief Investigator, leading the Regional Economies division of the newly established national Remote Economic Participation Co-operative Research Centre (CRC). The CRC, established in July 2010 was awarded $32.5m in funding until 30 June 2017. The research from the CRC is designed to be transformative and lead to improved outcomes across a range of areas including in health and education. The CSIRO National Research Flagships Program is dedicated to delivering scientific solutions to advance Australia’s most pressing national objectives. National Research Flagships are large-scale multidisciplinary research partnerships that harness world-class expertise to tackle these national priorities. Initiated by CSIRO in 2003, the National Research Flagships program is one of the largest scientific research endeavours ever undertaken in Australia, with the total investment to 2010-11 expected to be close to A$1.5 billion.

Three case study sites will offer a complex set of social, economic and demographic variables for analysis. Curtin University will lead the case studies of the two sites in Western Australian (Peel/Wheatbelt and Mid West), and CQUniversity with the Australian National University will lead the one in Queensland (Surat Basin). The overarching aim of the project will be to generate a shared understanding of the unique and common challenges facing each region, and produce a suite of decision support tools, indicators and metrics to guide future project development at the regional scale. The Regional futures project will use a case study approach to explore issues of transition, and social and economic impact in regions where intensive established mining activity sits alongside agricultural industries. A case study design has been chosen to foster deep relationships with the communities of focus and to integrate the research experience within a capacity building environment. Such a dynamic approach has the potential to engage communities in a social cost/beneﬁts appraisal throughout the lifecycle of a mining operation.

Curtin University is the lead organisation in collaboration with ﬁve other universities Australia-wide: University of Queensland (Centre for Social Responsibility in Mining), University of Technology, Sydney (Institute for Sustainable Futures), Australian National University and CQUniversity, responsible for Regional Futures – addressing the interlinkages between social and economic impacts of new mining technologies at a regional level emphasising land use change in sensitive environmental settings. As the majority of this wealth lies in Australia’s fragile and complex regional landscapes, the Regional futures project will contribute to a deeper understanding of the social and economic transitions experienced by communities in change.

AUSTRALIA-EUROPEAN UNION PARTNERSHIP FRAMEWORK: SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT FOR ORGANISATIONS, BUSINESS AND GOVERNMENT

he European Union/Australia Joint Cooperation Projects fund consortia of Australian higher education and vocational education and training (VET) institutions to undertake student mobility projects between the European Union (EU) and Australia, meaning students are able to study for a semester at a partner institution in the EU. Six rounds of projects have been initiated to date with the seventh becoming operational in 2011. Amongst the ‘seventh round’ successful 2010 projects was the Sustainable Management for Organisations, Business and Government (SMOG) application of which Curtin was a partner. This project aims to provide mobility opportunities for one semester to 24 EU and 24 AU Masters coursework students. At Curtin University the opportunity will be restricted to the MBA program. The academic exchange program will develop best education practice in sustainable management and include aspects of interdisciplinary teaching and learning, such as joint curriculum development, methods of evaluation and programmes planning, focussing on innovation in education in the emerging ﬁeld of sustainability.

ASPEN BUSINESS & SOCIETY CASE COMPETITION

he Aspen Institute is an international non-for-profit organisation founded in 1950. The organisation is dedicated to "fostering enlightened leadership, the appreciation of timeless ideas and values, and open-minded dialogue on contemporary issues." The institute and its international partners promote the pursuit of common ground and deeper understanding in a nonpartisan and non-ideological setting through regular seminars, policy programs, conferences, and leadership development initiatives. The Institute has branches in Washington, DC, Aspen, Colorado, and on the Wye River on Maryland’s Eastern Shore and has an international network of partners. In 2010 the Aspen CBE (Centre for Business Education) introduced a student case competition focusing on the role of business in society. The year's competition, the Business & Society International MBA Case Competition, expanded the number of participating schools to 25 and invited the CGSB to participate for the first time. Students had one weekend to analyse and respond to a new business & society-focused case study. On-campus competitions determined first place campus winners, whose work was reviewed by academic judges to determine five finalist teams. Finalists were required be available to be flown to New York City to present to a panel of corporate judges and join an invitation-only reception with friends of the Aspen Institute. With a considerable prize purse, one of the largest prize pools of any student case competition, the competition was fierce and although the CGSB team did not make the final, Gloria Gu, from the team that won the CGSB on-campus competition, said it was “a good experience, incorporating all the learning I received throughout my MBA, especially in the capstone unit (Business Strategy and International Business 660). I would strongly encourage students to enter the competition. It really puts into practice all the aspects of the MBA. It was ultimately very rewarding and the team experience was great.”

This prestigious competition invited West Australian university students to participate by answering the question: "What is the future of energy and how do oil & gas companies remain relevant?" In addition to the cash prize of $3000, Tunji was given the opportunity to present his winnning paper at the Accenture 2010 Asia Paciﬁc Oil and Gas Forum to over 70 top executive ‘heavyweights’ from the Oil and Gas industry. Brought together to develop a free exchange of ideas, opinions and case studies that focus on the top energy industry issues and challenges, the Forum attracted business leaders from the energy industry, economic, academic and geopolitical spheres from Australia, China, Japan, Thailand, South Korea, Malaysia and Indonesia. The group also included University of Houston Professor of Petroleum Engineering, Michael Economides. Professor Economides is a well-known and highly respected

academic who consults to the industry. The overarching theme for the 2010 Forum was “The Future of Energy”. Accenture is a global management consulting, technology services and outsourcing company, with approximately 204,000 people serving clients in more than 120 countries. Combining unparalleled experience, comprehensive capabilities across all industries and business functions, and extensive research on the world’s most successful companies, Accenture collaborates with clients to help them become highperformance businesses and governments.

HIGHER DEGREES BY RESEARCH

he high proﬁle of Curtin Graduate School of Business researchers attract postgraduate students from Australia, the Asian region and the Middle East. Research projects form an important part of most of our post graduate programs. Students are supervised by staff members with expertise in their area of business research. The CGSB had 55 students undertaking research degrees in 2010. Approximately half of these students were enrolled in the PhD programs and the other half in our DBA program.

The Curtin Graduate School of Business has three Higher Degree by Research (HDR) programs: • • •

Master of Philosophy by research (M.Phil) Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) PhD in Business Administration

Our population of full-time students has been growing. This partly reﬂects the school’s higher intake of international doctoral students as a result of our growing reputation in the region. Approximately half of our research student community is comprised of international students from a range of countries including Bangladesh, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia and Taiwan. Our HDR student community is diverse and brings together a broad spectrum of experience and professional backgrounds. Over one-third of our doctoral students are women and, particularly among local students, we have a blend of part-time and full-time students.

CGSB ALUMNI

he CGSB Alumni Chapter provides members with a means of maintaining links with former classmates, industry and professional associations and with other alumni around the world. The Chapter also facilitates activities aimed at career advancement and life-long learning. It works to raise the proﬁle of the CGSB and its graduates in the business community in order to increase the awareness of CGSB graduates and elevate the value of Curtin CGSB degrees.

CGSB Alumni sponsored Building Your Career event “The Hidden Job Market”, a Building Your Career event cosponsored by CGSB Alumni on 26 February 2010 was a roaring success with over 80 attendees including 30 Alumni, staff and visitors in attendance. The topic challenged the assumption that most jobs are advertised and gave attendees some tips and strategies on how to access the “hidden” job market.

By end of 2010 there were over 4593 registered CGSB alumni around the world. The CGSB Alumni Committee/ Chapter organised the following events that served to engage former students with CGSB staff, students, the community and industry links.

Annual Christmas Comedy Debate: Does Santa need Facebook? With the CGSB Alumni arguing ‘against’ and the CGSB Toastmasters arguing ‘for’, the event was well-attended by Alumni, current students and staff. This event has traditionally served as a fundraiser for disadvantaged children at Parkerville Children Youth Care and all attendees are requested to be a wrapped gift suitable for a child.

BUILDING YOUR CAREER WORKSHOPS

EFFECTIVE NETWORKING Run every trimester at the Western Australian Club If the term ‘networking’ conjures up images of handing out and collecting as many business cards as you can or looking for what you can get out of others at an event, then it’s time to rethink what you’re doing. What is it you need to do to make and keep useful contacts? How do you followup on a meeting effectively? How do you become a valuable contact yourself? At this practical workshop you’ll learn some simple techniques, and be given some specific exercises in order to put into practice what you’ve learned. THE HIDDEN JOB MARKET (IN CONJUNCTION WITH CGSB ALUMNI) Friday 26 February Most jobs are not advertised. But where are they and how do you tap into this ‘hidden market’? Come and hear what types of jobs never make it into the classifieds and learn what it takes to be considered for these positions from a panel of experts including job recruiters and a labour market economist. 2010 CURTIN CAREERS FAIR Wednesday 10 March Curtin Stadium, Curtin Bentley Campus The Curtin (Bentley) Career Fair is the largest careers fair run by the Curtin Careers Centre. While primarily targeted towards undergraduates, the excellent range of employers on campus in one space may hold new opportunities for your career path. Be sure not to miss out on this fantastic opportunity to learn more about potential employers and gain valuable insight into your career direction. MENTORS FOR THE 21ST CENTURY Tuesday 20 April: The decline of clear and well-established career paths and the fact that people stay in particular jobs for shorter periods of time has lessened the trend of developing mentoring relationships. Yet highly successful people talk more than ever about the importance of their mentor(s) during challenging stages of their career. One specific and highly successful approach is ‘peer mentoring’ through small groups. Your time at the CGSB could be the optimal time to create such a group and create an independent peer mentoring network. Come and find out how to make mentoring work for you from an expert mentoring consultant. STATE OF THE MARKET Friday 4 June A series of simultaneous presentations by representatives from specialised fields will talk about what the job market is looking like in their particular industry/field, what employers are looking for and where the jobs are most likely to be found. Covering at least four different industries (to be announced closer to the event), this event will provide an opportunity to hear about the specific job markets and ask questions of recruiters and employers in those industries.

Find out how you can start the process of getting in the ‘inner circle’, how to get nominated, where and who to target and what speciﬁc training you may need for certain Board positions.

AUSTRALIAN LEADERSHIP AWARDS: LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

he AusAID Australian Leadership Awards Leadership for Development Program (ALDP) was awarded to the CGSB in 2007 via a rigorous competitive tendering process. The ALDP contract, worth A$12m over four years is the largest contract of its kind to have been awarded to Curtin. Under the contract the CGSB delivers an annual leadership conference and residential leadership workshops across Australia. Participants include approximately 200 Australia Award scholars annually from 64 countries across the developing world who are undertaking postgraduate studies at an Australian university. Now in its fourth year the ALDP has over 800 alumni and current participants. The scholars represent diverse professional fields with participants having positions in government, the not for profit sector and private industry. These scholars are awarded their scholarship based on their current or potential leadership skills; previous participants have included AttorneyGenerals, Directors of non government organisations, and senior government officials. The success of this program has lead AusAID to invite the CGSB to deliver two-day leadership development programs to African scholarship alumni now back working in organisations in Africa. Since 2008 programs have been run in Southern Africa (South Africa, Mozambique, Namibia, Botswana, Lesotho, Zambia); East Africa (Malawi, Uganda and Kenya) and West Africa (Ghana, Nigeria, Cameroon, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Mali and Burkina Faso). During 2010 the Australian Leadership Award: Leadership Development Program (ALA: LDP) underwent significant changes in regard to program delivery, curriculum development, staffing, and expansion of the program. Furthermore the LDP underwent two independent evaluations in 2010 to; assess the performance of Curtin’s Graduate School of Business as managing contractor; and to inform program design for the next iteration of the LDP. Whilst changes were considerable for the LDP they were implemented positively in line with the 2009 LDP Annual Plan and the strategies outlined to progress the program objective “to achieve a skilled and outward looking cadre of leaders, with strong links to Australia, who lead reform, development and governance in priority areas across the globe.”

CURTIN GRADUATE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS Annual Report 2010

Staffing within the LDP was an area of major change in 2010 as Claire Bean, a CGSB MBL alumnus succeeded Janet Sutherland inaugural Program Manager in March 2010. The succession was implemented over a six month period with introduction of Gloria Gu, Program Coordinator in February 2010. Additional staffing changes occurred within partner organisations without impact on program delivery. Ongoing risk management around staffing resulted in tightening of selection processes for sub-contracted facilitation staff and implementation of compulsory training days for 2011. Additionally, facilitation teams have been consolidated for 2011 to reduce staff numbers and improve quality management around workshop delivery whilst maximising use of staff skills. Juliet Hargreaves was appointed the LDP Coaching Coordinator in April 2010 having identified the need for operational changes to increase supervision and support of a consolidated team of LDP Coaches. This appointment assisted the change management process for the Coaching Module and further integration of the optional modules across the entire LDP. In 2009 the Rudd Government made education a flagship of the aid program and promised an additional $303.7 million over four years for education programs through Overseas Development Assistance (ODA). With funding of a further 2400 scholarships and short courses in November 2009 the LDP accepted an increase in annual numbers from 175 scholars in 2010 to 200 scholars in 2011, representing a 15 percent increase and delivery by the Australian government on its 2009 promise to increase education funding. Simultaneously in 2010 eligibility for the Australian Leadership Awards was extended to include current and emerging leaders from Burma (Myanmar), the Caribbean and Latin-America. Geographically this represents an increase from 35 countries in the Asia Pacific region to 66 countries across the globe, almost doubling the diversity of potential participants completing the LDP in 2011. The increased funding of the ALA: LDP expands Australia’s commitment to help developing countries build leaders who will focus on reducing poverty and achieve sustainable development in their home countries. Academic programs undertaken by ALA scholars continue to align with priority development areas including; disability, economic growth, education, environment, food security, gender, governance, health, human rights, infrastructure, regional stability, rural development, water and sanitation.

RESEARCH UNITS: Governance and Corporate Social Responsibility Research Unit: This multi-disciplinary research unit conducts academic and contract research in the area of governance and corporate social responsibility with a particular focus on the development of leadership and management practice with a unique focus in Australia.

WiSER: Women in Social and Economic Research: WiSER has established itself as an interdisciplinary research program through its provision of meaningful gender analysis of policy and actively contributing to current debates on government policy. The key strengths include labour market analysis, social policy and health economics. Members of staff also participate in collaborative research with other research units in Curtin Business School, including: • The Centre for Research in Applied Economics • Oil and Gas Management • The Centre for Labour Market Research

CENTRES: The Centre for Innovation in Decision Quality (CIDQ) based at the CGSB has engaged in applied consultative research linked strongly to helping corporations like Woodside, Minter Ellison among others to review their corporate level decision making processes within a business environment. CIDQ’s focus (reﬂected in the CIDQ framework) is on enhancing Decision Quality with respect to Creativity and innovation in organisations; application of decision theory; strategy development and resource allocation; high performance cultures and inspiring leaders to think differently. Expertise here is on creativity and innovation, enhancing the effectiveness of top management teams (TMTs), Board and executive team development, expert group facilitation and developing processes to support improved decision quality. Where relevant, this includes the use of decision support technologies that are now available to support complex decision making.

The Maureen Bickley Centre for Women in Leadership (MBC) was established within the CGSB in March 2008 as a centre promoting and enabling the increased representation of women in leadership roles. The name of the centre honours the late Associate Professor Maureen Bickley. Amongst her many achievements Maureen made a significant contribution to the advancement and promotion of gender equity and women in leadership. The MBC brings together researchers and consultants from within the CGSB and across Curtin with an interest and expertise in gender and leadership. Its vision is to be recognised nationally and internationally for its expertise in women in leadership in organisations. The aim of the MBC is to work with organisations to promote and profile the increased participation of women in leadership and senior management roles in industry, business and the not-for-profit sector. Through its research, executive education and consultancy the MBC will increase the understanding of the issues that confront women leaders and those aspiring to leadership roles and how organisations can address these issues. Research findings will inform the development of targeted executive development programs. With the departure of Dr. Susan Harwood at the end of 2009, Dr Linley Lord was appointed as the Director of the Maureen Bickley Centre, based at the CGSB. Being selected to deliver the Clare Burton Lecture for 2010 added to the growing visibility of the Maureen Bickley Centre at the forefront of supporting women in education and attainment of leadership qualities and roles. In April 2010 the centre also launched the Bickley Blog which is open to subscribers, who can contribute to it by way of news, opinion pieces, comments etc on issues relating to women and leadership. Melissa Marinelli, a CGSB doctoral student who runs the blog-site and assists Dr. Lord can also through the blog site assist to profile any research being done in the area of women and leadership. As is becoming the norm CGSB is also carving out for itself a niche in this specialised area. The highly regarded Women as Leaders program was delivered by Professor Susan Vinnicombe, of Cranfield University School of Management for the first time in Australia in conjunction with the MBC. The program is based on 20 years of research and has run successfully at Cranfield University for over 10 years. The program provided participants with the knowledge and attitudes to overcome barriers and help to develop winning strategies that will increase promotional opportunities. It integrated leading edge research with participants’ personal experiences to provide practical learning about leadership and how to navigate the way to the top.
