About Us
With an emphasis on a holistic educational experience, the Department of Management seeks to prepare graduates to become leaders in management and to contribute to the advancement of society.
The Department of Management brings together high-quality education, holistic development and a learned sense of social responsibility to build strong managers in the workplace.
In tandem with the ever-changing business landscape, we have made significant strides in reforming our education offerings to ensure that our graduates possess relevant knowledge and practical tools to move organisations forward. Our department offers two majors in the Bachelor of Business and Commerce program:
- Management
- International Business Management
We also believe that valuable education lies beyond the classroom. Guided by our experienced and established faculty, you will enjoy hands-on learning experiences through internships, corporate projects, case analysis training and opportunities to participate in business competitions.
We invite you to pursue a major with us and discover boundless inspiration as you develop in knowledge, skill and experience to become confident, competent and contributing managers in the workplace.

If you aspire to become a confident leader in the workplace, I invite you to consider one of our majors. Our Management major will teach you foundational principles and management practices, training you to effectively manage people and resources to achieve an organisation’s goals. The International Business Management major, on the other hand, is a suitable option for students aspiring a global career; you will learn the ropes of managing organisations across national borders. Monash's motto is Ancora Imparo, which means “I am still learning.” Monash was, is, and always will be a place to embrace new ideas, learn and collaborate to change the world. At the Department of Management, we develop students from across the globe to apply knowledge and skills to contribute to the nation, economy and society. Please join us on a journey that creates connections and opportunities; I look forward to receiving you at Monash as we continue to scale new heights in education to shape a better world! |

Our Research
On the research front, our department has strengthened our leadership and impact by engaging in research translation, deepening partnerships and engagement to deliver societal impact in a sustainable way. We continue to develop our technical expertise to advance both specialist and interdisciplinary research in the following areas:
Entrepreneurship in Emerging Markets
At the nexus of business and society, we research social entrepreneurship and innovation, such as value creation in social enterprise and sustainable business models that fulfil social, economic and environmental responsibilities. We also study the entrepreneurial capabilities for success and coping strategies among women entrepreneurs. Our research findings provide new insights and innovative solutions to policymakers and businesses, driving high-impact social change to society.
People and Work
Given the rapid technological advances and shifting demographics, our research focuses on sustainable workplace, health and well-being of people of all ages. We study three key issues that demand a new managerial mindset: work-life balance amid the changing nature of work, global mobility, and ageing at work. In addition, we research health and well-being issues affecting organisations and society.
Our multidisciplinary approach includes collaborations with researchers from other fields and the use of various research methods such as quantitative, qualitative, computational, and experimental approaches. We aim to accelerate progressive discovery and implement behavioural practices that drive sustainable change for businesses and workers.
Our Engagement
The Department of Management is committed to establishing strong partnerships with businesses, communities and government to advance research and curriculum development. These efforts provide our students with first-hand experiences to directly engage with entrepreneurs, corporate leaders and practitioners through talks, lectures and workshops. We also work closely with the Entrepreneurship & Innovation Hub in the School, providing students with access to up-to-date resources such as rapid prototyping tools as well as seed funding for new business ideas.
At the same time, we prioritise valuable experiences that build responsible citizens and leaders. Through our partnership with Dialogue in the Dark (a social enterprise supporting visually-impaired individuals and people with disabilities), workshops were organised where students experienced a simulation in total darkness, providing valuable hands-on experiences integrated with reflective assignments examining topics related to diversity, equity, inclusion, and management competencies.
We also collaborate with the 'Learning and Leadership in Asia' podcast channel, giving our students a platform to exchange leadership insights with industry practitioners and elevate their profile for future career opportunities.
