    DR SARAH KELLY

    MBA Program Director

    What does it take to be a great business leader? What skills and

    qualities do you need to become part of the global elite? These

    are the questions that many MBA candidates will be asking.

    One thing is for sure – it’s not just about management theory,

    although a knowledge of subjects like nance and strategy is

    essential for those wishing to reach the highest levels.

     The best business leaders also know how to apply their

    knowledge even in challenging circumstances, solve problems,

    inspire and motivate others, and develop networks. They can

    operate in dynamic, culturally diverse and complex global markets

    and are compassionate, socially aware leaders.

     As the number one program in Australia and Asia Pacic, the

    UQ Business School MBA aims to create the global business

    leaders of the future. We strike a balance between academic

    rigour and practical application, providing an environment where

    our students can develop all the right skills and qualities as they

    continue on their career path.

    Here are some of the things that set us apart:

    Putting knowledge into practice

     The UQ Business School MBA offers students a range ofopportunities to apply their knowledge and develop their

    problem solving skills in real-life business scenarios.

    Building leadership skills

    Leadership is a key focus in the UQ Business School MBA.

     The Leadership Capability Framework, developed specically for

    the MBA program, assesses your level of leadership skills and

    provides evidence of your progress.

    Giving back to society 

    With social justice rising up the business agenda, the SocialEconomic Engagement Program (SEEP) gives MBA students an

    opportunity to work within the community and use their skills to

    solve social problems.

    BUSINESS LEADERS OF

    LEARNING THAT

    FITS IN WITH

     YOUR LIFESTYLE

     The Master of Business Administration (MBA) is

    a Master’s-level general business degree which

    will equip you with the sophisticated skills and

    knowledge required to become a successful

    business leader.

     The MBA is ideal for those who already have an undergraduate

    degree, several years of work experience, and now want to

    move ahead in their career – to gain a promotion, establish their

    own business or make the transition to a different organisation

    or industry.

    UQ Business School’s MBA is ranked as one of the leading MBA

    programs worldwide. Its unique features help to set it apart from

    other MBA programs and provide added value to students.

    principled, innovative leaders who can solve complex problems

    and produce systemic change.

    study options allow you to t in your learning alongside lifestyle

    and work commitments.

    FLEXIBLE MBA OPTIONS

    UQ Business School has designed an MBA program that is highly

    exible, while also acknowledging the importance of the ‘cohort

    effect’ – the extra value that is generated when students can

    clearly identify with their classmates and share sufcient class and

    study time with them to develop the lasting relationships that are

    such a valuable part of any MBA experience.

     You can approach your study in one of three ways:

     ACCELERATED PROGRAM

     The Accelerated program can be completed in 12 months and is

    taught in intensive blocks between early January and November.

    STREAMLINED PROGRAM*

     The Streamlined program can be completed in 24 months

    alongside your job and is structured to include some evening

    classes, some weekend intensive classes, and some one-week

    intensive mode offerings.

    FLEXIBLE PROGRAM*

    If your work or personal commitments are such that you expect

    to need more than two years to complete the MBA, you can

    structure your program to suit your needs by choosing to study in

    the evenings, by taking weekend intensive courses, or by taking

    one-week intensive mode offerings.

    * Students in the Streamlined and Flexible programs have the option of also

    completing up to two approved courses in the one-week intensive mode

    delivered by UQ Business School Executive Education.

    OVERCOMING REAL 

    BUSINESS CHALLENGES

    Problem solving is central to a leader’s role, so one of

    the most important outcomes from the MBA is the ability

    to apply your knowledge and skills to resolve real-life

    business issues.

     The Integrated Strategic Analysis Capstone course is the culmination of

    the MBA. It provides the opportunity to integrate the key concepts you

    have learned in previous courses in a consultancy project for one of

    UQ Business School’s partner companies.

    Working as part of a team, you will be operating at the highest strategic

    level of business and collaborating directly with the CEO. The Capstone

    project will challenge your capabilities, requiring you to apply your

    skills in unfamiliar contexts and address complex problems. However

    the experience is also highly rewarding, and will help to build your

    condence in your own capabilities and provide an experience of

    lasting impact.

     The MBA Capstone experience concludes with a signature event away

    from the UQ St Lucia campus, where graduating MBA students present

    their conclusions and recommendations.

     

    “The MBA Capstone course was an exciting opportunity to

    work with an amazingly talented team of fellow students and

    apply the skills we learned throughout the MBA program to

     solve a challenging real-life business problem.”

    RICHARD O’QUINN

    “A team of MBA students worked on our Flight Centre Travel

    Group business, and with great expertise, presented some

     strong proposals for growth opportunities. Our company was

     impressed by the students’ level of professionalism and the

     knowledge they demonstrated through their presentations.”

    activities hosted by Fudan in Shanghai,where the team presents its strategy to the

    client company and introduces it to key contacts.

    “The UQ Wharton GCP was the icing on the cake in finishing

     my MBA. Being able to put some of the theory I have learnt

     into practice was a great experience. The client, being a

     new industry for me, forced us to apply critical thinking to a

    completely different commercial scenario.”

    STEFFI ANDRUCHIW 

    Chief Financial Ofcer, Harcourts International

     

    “The GCP program provides UQ Business School students

     paying client is incredibly rewarding. The GCP experience

     pushes students to grow as collaborative team members

    and as leaders. For me, participating in the GCP was the

    ultimate MBA experience.”

     Alice started her career as a physiotherapist before moving

    into HR and management roles in the health sector. She has

    extensive experience in rehabilitation, having worked in the

    UK and Sweden. She has also been Regional Manager of a

    rehabilitation services provider in Australia.

    She spent seven years at GroundProbe, a start-up business

    same time studying for her MBA. On its completion in 2012

    she won the Director’s Award for Leadership. Alice is now

    CEO of Family Planning Queensland.

    “The MBA initially provided me with a range of theoretical

     models to study. I moved on to selecting those of most

     relevance and implementing them in my organisation.

    The MBA provided “safe” learning experiences outside

     my comfort zone, which enabled me to have the self-

    assurance to take positive leadership steps within my own

    work environment. It gave me the confidence to lead! 

    “The MBA has taught me to frequently reflect on my

    actions and consider how I might improve my leadership

     style. As evidence of my growth, I was promoted three

    times during the program, rising from HR Manager to

     Executive Director.” 

    John is a senior HR executive with more than 20 years of

    experience. He spent 10 years with Nortel Networks in

    Melbourne, Seoul and Singapore, where he was the Asia

    Pacic Vice President Human Resources. He then moved

    appointed as Global HR Director for Weir Minerals, which

    employs 7,500 people providing equipment and services to

    the mining industry. He is currently located at the head ofce

    in Melbourne.

    “I wanted to broaden my knowledge of other functions

    within the business, and gain a deeper understanding of

     financial drivers of the firm.

    “UQ Business School’s full-time MBA ticked all my boxes.

     It is contemporary in its design, delivery and content,

     strikes a good balance between theory and practice, and

    the support infrastructure is excellent.

    “Whilst the cohort and friendships are amongst my key

     memories, so too were some of the lectures where the

    content genuinely challenged your own mental models

    of how things work in the world. These were simply the

     best for me.”

    FROM THE

    CLASS OF 2014

    Having started out in the

    nance industry in 2001,

    Samantha has spent most

    of her career since then in

    commercial insurance. She has

    diverse skills and experience

    including strategy, changemanagement, business

    analysis, portfolio management,

    learning and development,

    and leadership. Halfway

    through the MBA program,

    Samantha moved into a Senior

    Strategic Advisor role with a

    $1.5bn business.

    “The UQ Business School

     MBA has helped me

    develop my knowledge

    across a broad rangeof business theory

    and practice, to a level

    where I can comfortably

    converse with just about

    anyone on any topic. This,

    coupled with the hands-on

    experience gained through

    the Wharton GCP and SEEP

     programs, has made me an

    all-round asset.” 

     Andrew graduated with a

    dual Bachelor of Economics

    and Commerce degree, then

     joined a small team tasked

    with setting up a government-

    owned company. After seeing it

    through to successful operation,he undertook an MBA at UQ

    Business School. Andrew

    has since joined KPMG’s

    management consulting team,

    providing advisory services to

    private and public sector clients

    across a range of industries

    including tourism, education

    and agriculture.

    “UQ Business School offered

    unique opportunities to

     build my commercial skillset by getting involved

     in SEEP, a business

     immersion tour of India

    with one of Australia’s great

    cricketers, and the Wharton

    GCP, one of the most

     rewarding experiences of

    the MBA program.” 

     After graduating with an

    international business degree,

    Melissa began a career as a

    management consultant with an

    international rm, gaining diverse

    industry knowledge and technical

    skills. She wanted to developfurther depth in contemporary

    business practices and make

    the most of the experience she

    had gained. Melissa took the

    Flexible MBA over four years,

    alongside her consulting role

    which included domestic and

    international travel commitments.

    “Each course in the MBA

    allowed me to build context

    and expand my thinking.

     Assisted by the range of skills that I honed during

     my studies, I have now

     moved into a strategy and

    change leadership role with

    one of Australia’s largest

     institutional fund managers.” 

    Michael Kasprowicz is an

     Australian international cricketer

    and a Director of Cricket

     Australia. Having spent time in

    India during his career, he has an

    afnity with the local community

    and believes that exposing Australian businesses to India

    could result in mutually benecial

    commercial opportunities.

    “I believe the MBA is an

    all-purpose vehicle to

    transfer my skills from the

     professional sporting arena

    to the business world. The

     regular career path for a

     professional cricketer is as

    a coach or commentator.

     After 20 years representing Australia, I wanted to do

    things differently and create

     something more meaningful

     such as Venture India, a

    consultancy that specialises

     in establishing and growing

     business relationships

     between Australia

    and India.”

     ACCELERATED

     The academic component of the MBA is structured so that a foundation course is followed by ve pairs of courses delivered in intensive 6

    week teaching blocks, and culminates in a residential Capstone course.

    STREAMLINED & FLEXIBLE

     The Streamlined 24 month and Flexible part-time options includeevening classes, some weekend intensive classes and one-week

    intensive mode offerings. Program structures vary depending on

    to study an average of three courses each semester over the

    24 months (excluding the winter and summer semesters). We

    recommend that you choose a combination of weeknight and

    your workload, you may include one or two winter and summer

    courses along the way.

    to complete your MBA program from your semester

    of commencement.

     You are able to take any course offering to suit your schedule,

    e.g. intensive, weeknights, or weekend. All we ask is that you take

    careful note of the key dates attached to the different offerings

    when you enrol via mySI-net, as not all course offerings are

    taught in the ‘normal’ semester times. To avoid any unnecessary

    academic penalty or nancial liability being applied to your record,

     ACCT7804 Accounting & Business Analysis Accounting involves compiling and interpreting nancial information about an enterprise and its activities as a basis for making and evaluating

    economic decisions about the deployment of resources. A basic knowledge of accounting is important for anyone involved in modernenterprises, whether they are prot-oriented, government, or non-prot entities. The aim of the course is to provide a broad understanding of

    the accounting discipline to enable students to comprehend, evaluate, interpret, question, and intelligently discuss accounting information;and understand the uses, limitations, complexities and evolving nature of accounting.

    ECON7012 Business Economics This course focuses on how consumption, investment, production and supply chain choices are made in the face of problems of information andknowledge. These choices need to be coordinated to avoid wasted opportunities, even more so when individuals, rms, or entire economies

    choose to specialise. Adjustments in relative prices and the incentives provided by prots and losses play major coordinating roles. Coordination

    is also assisted by planning and social institutions. Even so, coordination failures can still occur, leading to major slumps in employment andinternational trade. Economics can help to assess when these problems are likely and how they may be dealt with.

    FINM7805 Financial Management This course provides students with a range of tools required for corporate nancial decision-making and personal investing. The course also

    develops a framework for corporate decision-making centred on the concept of shareholder value. Topics include: nancial mathematics;

    short-term nancial management; the use and valuation of debt and equity securities; project evaluation with an emphasis on the discounted

    cash ow techniques of net present value (NPV) and internal rate of return (IRR); individual investing; portfolio theory and diversication; the

    weighted-average cost of capital (WACC); risk; and the capital asset pricing model (CAPM).

    MGTS7801 Management Frameworks This foundation course introduces students to the MBA and provides specic areas of foundational knowledge and skills to build on throughout

    the program. These areas include frameworks for understanding organisations and leadership, as well as individual management and leadershipabilities. Building capability begins with a thorough self-assessment, gap analysis, and subsequent identication of professional goals that can be

    achieved throughout, and beyond completion of the program.

    MGTS7802 International ManagementInternational Management provides an understanding of how the economic, geopolitical and cultural dimensions of the international businessenvironment shape international business investment trade and transacting, and how international rms are managed in this environment.

    Strategies for market positioning of very large rms, small and medium rms in these complex environments, and the rm structures that emerge

    to support these strategies, are investigated alongside new and innovative forms of enterprise to capture international advantage.

    MGTS7803 Integrated Strategic Analysis The nal and capstone course, Integrated Strategic Analysis, is delivered as a one week residential that integrates and extends the key concepts

    from the core courses of the MBA program. This course allows students to analyse, synthesise and present conclusions and recommendations

    on a current business case.

    MGTS7807 Operations Design The objective of this course is to develop students’ understanding of business systems and process design within diverse organisations andto evaluate how they relate to the organisation’s corporate objectives, market development, and long-term sustainability. Students will gainan understanding of the important theoretical issues and concepts relating to the design of core business processes, performance reportingmechanisms and accountability.

    MGTS7808 Information Technology for Business ValueHow do senior managers use information and communication technology (ICT) systems and services to enable strategy and get more businessvalue out of IT? In this course we take the strategic perspective of the general manager to study how leading rms leverage their IT investments.

    Our focus centres on IT leadership and IT governance rather than the more ‘technical’ aspects of IT. Therefore an IT background is not required.

    MGTS7809 Strategic Human Resources Management This course examines the systems and processes involved in human resource management with the aim of improving organisationalperformance. Building on an appreciation of the environment in which business operates, the course aims to develop a deep understanding of

    HR practices such as recruitment, selection and retention of staff as value adding activities. Strategies aimed at managing staff performance anddeveloping staff competence and the professional and ethical application of HR practice are explored at the individual and organisational level.

    MGTS7810 Leading People & Teams This course develops the skills and knowledge required to lead people and teams effectively in modern organisations. The course specically

    focuses on current theory and applied knowledge in this area, starting from an initial focus on the role of individual variables (personality,motivations, perceptions, communication skills, emotional intelligence) and then moving to the nature of teams (team roles, cohesion, norms,formation, identity issues) and the interplay between individual and team factors within organisations. The approach taken also providesopportunities for students to reect on their own work experiences and to improve their current practice.

    MKTG7806  Marketing Management  This course synthesises current perspectives of marketing and communication theory. Students will be expected to critique traditional marketingmanagement and communication thinking within organisations. This contemporary approach aims to inform management practice better througha synthesis of the interplay between the disciplines of communication and marketing. It will prepare students to think ethically and critically aboutthe communication and relationship processes that occur in organisations between their internal and external stakeholders.

    TIMS7811 Innovation Leadership Innovation has been described as the fundamental source of competitive advantage. The purpose of this course is to analyse the importanceand nature of innovation and how managers can lead innovation for sustainable competitive advantage. The course is based on robust analyticalframeworks and contemporary empirical evidence on international best practice in innovation leadership.
