Welcome to the FoBL blog!

FoBL Executive Dean David Lamond
 Hello everyone,

Welcome to the Faculty of Business and Law blog, where we’ll provide our regular updates on a monthly basis as to who and what are making news in the Faculty and its constituent Schools – Accounting and Finance, International Business, Management and Information Systems, the Victoria Graduate School of Business and the Victoria Law School.

As it is the time of the lunar new year, let me begin with:

Gong Xi Fa Cai! Kung Hei Fat Choi! 恭禧发财 to all our friends in this Year of the Dragon - wishes of happiness and prosperity to you all!
We are hoping that this Year of the Dragon will be an auspicious one for us.  It will certainly be a year of challenges, but we look forward to the excitement of achievement and success.

As the Faculty of Business and Law at Victoria University, our mission is:

Transforming the lives of individuals, enterprises and communities, in western Melbourne and beyond, by
  • undertaking research and consulting that inform teaching, policy and practice
  • developing responsible, market ready professionals with a global outlook, and
  • engaging effectively with our local and international communities

We will work towards living out this mission in 2012, through our endeavours in research, in learning and teaching and in community and industry engagement.

Best regards,

David
