    Please excuse cross postings

    The School of Strategy and Entrepreneurship (formerly the General Management Group at the Australian Graduate School of Management) seeks to fill at least one senior faculty position in Strategic Management or Entrepreneurship.  Candidates with an international orientation to their writing are also encouraged to apply.  Although we prefer to fill the position at the Full Professor level we will also consider strong candidates at the Associate Professor level.  Potential senior colleagues should possess a proven capacity to teach in world class MBA and educative education programs. Administrative experience is also desirable. We would be happy to make five-year appointments for faculty who may have already retired and would like to pursue in new challenge in Australia.  Half-time appointments for candidates who want to spend part of the year in Sydney are also possible.

    The Australian School of Business at UNSW was recently formed as a union of the AGSM and Faculty of Commerce and Economics at the University of New South Wales. The school, located in Sydney with an MBA program in Hong Kong, is the premier business school in Australia, and a leader in management research and graduate education throughout Asia and Oceania.  We offer a range of graduate programs, including full-time and executive MBA's, a Master of Commerce, a doctoral program, and we are very active in executive education. Forbes Magazine recently rated us as the fifth best non-US business school in the world. Our full time MBA program is ranked within the world's top 40 business schools by the Financial Times. Similarly, our custom executive programs have been ranked No 1. in Australia by the Financial Times.

    The School of Strategy and Entrepreneurship's faculty is internationally recognized for its research excellence. Over the last few years, we have published consistently in such leading journals as Academy of Management Review, Strategic Management Journal, Organization Science, Research Policy, Industrial and Corporate Change, Journal of International Business Studies, Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization, Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, Harvard Business Review, and California Management Review. Faculty have also published prize winning books. Current members of the strategy group include: Martin Bliemel (PhD Simon Fraser University), Graham Dowling (Emeritus - PhD UNSW), Geoff Eagleson (Emeritus - PhD Sydney), Shayne Gary (PhD London), Anna Gunnthorsdottir (PhD Arizona), Elizabeth Maitland (PhD Melbourne), J Peter Murmann (PhD Columbia) (Head of School), Peter Moran (PhD Insead), Salih Ozdemir (PhD Chicago), George Shinkle (PhD Purdue University), Yue Wang (PhD Melbourne), and Phil Yetton (PhD Carnegie Mellon).

    We have no dominant philosophical orientation and would consider candidates for the professor position(s) with strong training in strategy, entrepreneurship, economics, psychology, sociology, innovation studies and other related disciplines.  

    The remuneration package is globally competitive. Sydney is recognized as one of the most livable, beautiful, and vibrant cities on the planet. (For photos of the city and the region, go to http://professor-murmann.net/pictures/australia/  ). Sydney plays a major part in Australia's economy, accounting for over 25% of Australia's total economic activity. The city is Australia's undisputed financial centre, with 65% of Australia's finance industry located here, including the Reserve Bank, the Australian Stock Exchange and the Sydney Futures Exchange. Of the nation's top 100 companies, 60% have headquarters in Sydney. Financial and business services accounts for 47.1% of the city's workforce. Multinationals with Asian-Pacific headquarters in Sydney include 3M, American Express, AMP, Boral Ltd, BT, Coca-Cola Amatil, Compuserve, HJ Heinz, IBM, Microsoft, Mastercard, Price Waterhouse Coopers, TNT Ltd and Unilever. Sydney was also recently named by the LA Times as the world's most innovative city with respect to culinary arts and those with a penchant for wine, opera, sailing and any of a host of other activities need look no further than their front door.

    The position is open immediately and will remain open until filled.  For more information, please visit our web site at http://www2.strategy.unsw.edu.au/
    Interested senior applicants should send electronically their CV, teaching ratings for MBA courses and executive education programs, and the names of three referees or completed letters of reference. Please send all materials to the attention of J. Peter Murmann at recruiting@strategy-and-entrepreneurship.net.

    Members of the faculty will be at the AOM and please feel free to discuss this with us directly.
