"Research with an emphasis on providing solutions to real-life problems"
'One of the many factors driving the Division of Business' success is its commitment to, and achievements in, leading edge research'.
Working in collaboration with other universities, industry, government, the professions and community groups, the Division's focus has been on applied research that produces substantial benefits for both the business and general communities.
Research is undertaken in a wide range of areas, many of which are cross-disciplinary in nature, reflecting the interests and strengths of the Division and its associations with community and business organisations.
The aims of these endeavours are to:
- provide solutions to "real life" issues and problems;
- provide assistance to business; and
- offer new and relevant learning opportunities for candidates.
Research in the Division is carried out both individually and by groups of researchers with common interests, who often work together in multi-disciplinary projects. The presence of these research groupings assists in creating an active and vibrant research culture for both staff and candidates alike.
