The Academic Board is an important part of ANU governance. It bridges the gap between university administration and academic staff at the 'coal face' of teaching and research. The Board offers opportunities to convey staff concerns directly to ANU senior management. College representatives on the Board also alert colleagues to ANU policy changes that affect their work.
My tasks as Board member will include advocating CBE interests and keeping CBE colleagues better informed on ANU policy changes. I will also foster inter-College collaboration. Based on research contacts in CAP and CASS, I believe that the ANU is greater than the sum of its parts. Board interactions help to identify opportunities for CBE to cooperate with other Colleges to mutual advantage.
I am Associate Professor in RSM, where I initiated the teaching of International Business (IB) courses and advocated the development of IB curricula. I was Associate Dean in CBE and Deputy Director of RSM, before secondments as Deputy Head of the ANU Centre for European Studies and the ANU Indonesia Project.
I teach IB courses. My research includes IB and business history and focuses on Asian countries and Australia. I currently research responses of markets and firms to changes in national and international business contexts. I published 80 journal articles and book chapters and am currently working on and ARC Discovery project into Australia's long-term experiences with inward foreign investment and multinational enterprises.
