Our recent MBA Awards ceremonies held in Hong Kong, Singapore and Taipei were a huge success, please find below winners for each location pictured with MBA Program Director, Mr Bob Gilliver. Visit our top students page for full details of all MBA award winners.

The first Malaysian graduating class was a big event for students from KL and Penang. The ones able to travel to Australia enjoyed visiting UniSA and being part of the graduation. A visit to our education facilities gave them a real feel for interactive learning. Most visited with family members and enjoyed visiting our wineries and nature parks.

 

The innovation and creativity of Penang cohorts 7 and 8 as demonstrated at the recent intensive workshop for the MBA course Contemporary Management Skills was amazing. Keep an eye out for one of these umbrella designs. It may very well be the craze of the future in the Asia Pacific Region.

 

Professor David Corkindale hosted our January Commencement Seminar for new MBA students in Adelaide. A total of 97 new students have commenced the MBA with us in January 2007.

 

Our MBA program was again featured at the recent MBA expo in Perth in September 2006. Over 20 candidates visited our booth, mainly interested in the Online MBA.

 

The recent trip to the Adelaide Zoo for our Adelaide based doctoral candidates provided a great forum for networking and for candidates to meet some of the IGSB's teaching and professional staff. Further social events are planned for our doctoral candidates, with the aim of encouraging networking and socialising outside the school environment.

On Tuesday 1st August 2006, 110 students and Alumni participated in another of our MBA Career Services Workshops at the Sebel Playford in Adelaide. As part of our ongoing efforts to add layers of extra value to our MBA experience, the IGSB had brought to Australia, the internationally acclaimed speaker and writer, Bill Faust to run a special workshop on CV's. For nearly 2 hours, Bill entertained, informed and motivated our students and Alumni, with practical tips and advice to improve the likelihood that everyone's CV is more likely to result in winning more successful career appointments.

The recent awards ceremony for our top MBA students in Penang, presented by MBA Program Director, Mr Bob Gilliver, was a huge success.

Teaching Leading and Managing People to Hong Kong cohorts 41, 42 and 43 was an exciting prospect. They worked hard and also enjoyed the breaks. Although the weather was wet and overcast outside, inside the class enjoyed learning how to manage the organisation's best asset - Its People!

It was a momentous occassion for the Hong Kong students who could not be present at the last award presentation in Adelaide. Their awards were presented at an intimate gathering at the Novotel Century on 31st May. Dr Mary Bambacas presented the student awards for the transnational MBA program while family and friends enjoyed an informal evening. Amongst the proud recipients of the valued course awards were Chun Wai Yuen, Barric Ng, and KK Ip. Elly Kwong was the recipient of the prestigious Chancellor's Prize.

The recent graduation ceremonies held in Adelaide were a huge success with over 4,700 UniSA students having their degrees conferred during the week – March 27-31, 2006. Amongst them, 8 of our MBA graduates from Hong Kong made the trip to Adelaide for the ceremonies.

Focus groups were recently held in Singapore, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur and Penang. Students enjoyed the time to chat about the program, the changes that have taken place and the changes to come. Some of the enthusiastic participants in Kuala Lumpur and Penang are shown below.

Teaching in Zurich for Intake 4 was a wonderful experience as always. As you can see there was a time to work and a time in the snow. The amount of snow that fell exceeded what had been experienced for March in Zurich for over 70 years.

The recent commencement seminar for the Adelaide MBA program featured presentations from senior IGSB academic staff. Students also undertook group activities for part of the session.

Teaching Leading and Managing People in Penang to our first and second cohort was a real pleasure.
As you can see there was a time to reflect and a time to have fun. An intensive session is a lot of work, but the students in Penang made it fun as well.

Teaching the MBA course Leading and Managing People in Kuala Lumpur to our first and second cohort was a real pleasure. An intensive session is a lot of work, but the students in Kuala Lumpur made it fun as well.

Yet another group of MBA and DBA students who recently graduated in Zurich. We were fortunate to see blue skies long enough to capture the happy event. The cheerful celebrations continued in the afternoon with family, friends and new additions, the latest one only three months old. It was wonderful to see family travel from as far as Mexico to join the joyful occasion.

Discussion and teamwork for our new 40th cohort for Hong Kong was the order of the day at the recent commencement seminar. Creativity on the day was enormous with each group member having the opportunity to contribute their ideas. A day full of reflection and discussion.

Please find below images of the commencement seminar for the inaugural MBA program in Penang. The students enjoyed working in groups and acquired a taste for team work. They also experienced critical thinking to devise innovative solutions to problems while having fun.

Graduation in Zurich was an exceedingly successful event. The Dean of SBS Swiss Business School, Dr Bert Wolfs went out of his way to make the day a success. The formal part of the Graduation ceremony was well attended by students their families and friends. Students received their parchments, had their photos taken and were then able to enjoy a well organised function in a beautiful garden setting.

This is to introduce you to Singapore 26 the new cohort in Singapore. Groups worked diligently to produce new structures. In the end it was difficult to choose. What was interesting was that they all enjoyed the commencement seminar.

Below is a photo of the Singapore 25 class at the end of their intensive workshop for Leading and Managing People.
It is interesting to note that they were all still smiling and joking by the end of the sessions. Truthfully it was a time that demanded concentration and critical thinking yet was enjoyed by all.

Our flagship MBA Program took centre-stage at the recent National MBA Expo in Adelaide. With new display materials (below) and an aggressive marketing campaign, more than 170 MBA candidates passed through the door and discussed their MBA candidature with our key staff.
