A few of our researchers are also affiliated with the Hawke Research Institute which undertakes research on social, cultural and economic aspects of globalization and social sustainability and fosters debate on democratic participation in political, economic, social and cultural life.
Our research is multidisciplinary and international in its scope. IGSB is committed to being an internationally recognized centre of excellence for research education specializing in the integration of Eastern and Western management styles across the Asia-Pacific region. This is reflected by the strength of our two doctoral programs, the DBA and the PhD. With nearly 500 DBA students and 150 PhD students IGSB has one of the largest doctoral programs in the world. Our full time academic staff along with our adjunct staff supervise doctoral candidates in Adelaide, Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia. The research conducted by our doctoral students makes a significant contribution to our research mission.
