We are pleased to inform our alumni that the AFR BOSS's 2009 survey of Australian MBA programs, Melbourne Business School has ranked No. 1. 
Recent years have been marked by unprecedented changes in society and in business and the old models, frameworks, and theories don’t work very well in this new environment. 
Melbourne Business School PhD student, Joanna Minkiewicz seems poised to revolutionise marketing in the heritage sector-museums, art galleries and the like.
