Welcome to Sydney Business Connect
Together with our partners in industry, government and the non-profit sector, the University of Sydney Business School is leading the way in ground-breaking research and innovation that impacts business and society.
From understanding what working women want post-pandemic, improving healthcare access for millions worldwide, addressing future workforce needs, and transforming wellbeing in the workplace, I’m incredibly proud of the work of our academics and alumni, and I encourage you to find out more about how our research is making real-world impact.
Our Business Not As Usual strategy focuses on inspiring, informing and empowering others to shape a better future for business and humanity. As I approach the end of my tenure, I’m delighted that the next Dean of the Business School, Professor Leisa Sargent, is a champion of equity, diversity and inclusivity. I am confident that under Leisa’s leadership, the Business School will continue to build upon its commitments to innovative and responsible management education.
I hope you enjoy this edition of Sydney Business Connect.
