[edit] History
In 1977, the University of New South Wales (UNSW), with federal government resources, established the AGSM as New South Wales' second school of postgraduate management studies. In January 1999, the AGSM and the Graduate School of Business of the University of Sydney merged under the AGSM brand. In November 2005, the universities demerged their business schools and the AGSM reverted to wholly UNSW ownership.[5]
One year later, UNSW merged the AGSM with the UNSW Faculty of Commerce and Economics, creating the Australian School of Business (for a brief period, the new faculty was called the Faculty of Business). UNSW's Vice Chancellor, Fred Hilmer, appointed Alec Cameron to manage the integration of the AGSM with the UNSW Faculty of Commerce and Economics.[6] Following the integration, the Vice Chancellor inducted Alec Cameron as the dean of the new school.[7]
In mid-2007, the faculties physically combined, and moved into UNSW's newly renovated Heffron Building, which UNSW renamed the Australian School of Business Building.
2011 saw the next stage of AGSM's evolution with the appointment of Professor Chris Styles as Deputy Dean and Director AGSM and the inclusion of the Master of Business & Techology into the AGSM family.
