Yearbook Jan 6 Test

INSIDE SPREAD

Yearbooks don’t just happen by themselves. In fact, we can safely say that this particular yearbook took the com-bined efforts of the entire student body: the writers, the photographers, the voters, the bakers, the candle-stick makers...

Seriously though, the 2011 yearbook team consists of a few dedicated students who had a great time making this project up from scratch. Together, they created colourful cardboard voting systems, designed layout concepts, held staff meetings via Skype, negotiated for quality (international!) printing, maintained epic Google Document spread-sheets, and pestered classmates for photos, information, stories, and bios. This book represents the best memories of the graduating class, and we sincerely thank the team that worked so hard to bring everything together:

Catherine de FontaneyCongratulations Class of 2011! We are extremely proud of you, and wish you all the very best. Research says that after 5 years, the words “supply and demand” is all you’ll remember about your Economics courses; but we’d be very grateful if you could remember “Added Value” as well!

Best wishes, Catherine

David AustinTo the extraordinary people I have met this year teaching entrepreneurship. I would like to share with you a little of what you have taught and shown me: When you commit to a path people will give more help than you could ever have imagined. You can achieve more than your current vision allows you to see, it is a choice. Success envisaged in gentle terms has a way of growing. Be open to the joy of learning from the many interruptions on the path to success, each is a gift if you unwrap it carefully. Don’t forget that the entrepreneurship course is like the Hotel California and I hope to see you again soon.

Kind regards, David

Geoffrey LewisFirst the tasting notes: 2010 is an excellent vintage. By selective and judicious blending of diverse varieties we achieved a complex cohort with some with interesting high-notes. Showing some early roughness on the edges of the palate, this softened as the year progressed to result in a crisp, seductively textured class that displayed a full, open, and accessible approach to learning. Undoubtedly has excellent career potential.

Winemaker’s comments: Think about it! I could be spending my time with mature gentlemen of my own advancing years (read boring old farts) sitting around a board table making out to be doing something useful – or I could spend my time with energetic, thoughtful, challenging and committed young people who are shaping the future. What a privilege to be able to do the latter.

Messages ...

Ian Alsopp“ I have appreciated the opportunity to en-able students to becomeentrepreneurial and to create new ventures. Thinking and actingentrrepreneurially becomes a “way of think-ing and living”, it becomes alifestyle where the new opportunity excites and “calls” us to achieve andmake things happen. Become agenda setters and enjoy discoveringopportunities and developing new ventures that create both personal andsocial wealth.”

Cheers,Ian

Jack GoodwinAn American philosopher, Eric Hoffer, had a wonderful quote about learning. He said, “In times of change, learners inherit the Earth, while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.” I hope you have had an enjoyable and enriching learning experience at MBS and have learned a lot. How-ever, we live in times of profound change, so you will soon be perfectly equipped for a world that no longer exists. Your learning “journey” should just be starting. As you leave MBS, I hope that you have learned to learn, and that you will remember the “course” isn’t ending, it’s just starting. I’ll close with a quote from another famous American philosopher, Jack Welch: “Wake up every morning knowing it’s the dumbest you’ll ever be.”

It’s been a pleasure to teach some of you. Best wishes to all of you.

Kannan SethuramanI would like to thank you for having given me this opportunity to say a few wordsin the annual yearbook.

At the outset, let me first congratulate each one of you for your commitment anddevotion towards excellence and for graduat-ing from MBS with flying colours.

As you rejoice this proud moment, please take the time to recognize the variousindividuals who have made a difference in your life and who have helped achieveyour dreams. I am confident that each and every one of you has the ability tomake a difference to this world. I hope and wish you will continue to aim highand will have the courage to follow your heart and ambitions. I wish you all thevery best in your future endeavours.

Kwang LimDear ex-students and everyone in the class of 2011, I wish you all the best as you graduate and move into the next exciting adventure of your life. If there is one piece of advice that I’d like to share with you, it is that you should nurture your mental agility. These days the world is filled with uncertainty and many changes are taking place in our economic and social ecosystems. However, the fundamental lessons that you learned during your MBA will serve you well into the future. Stay cool, apply what you’ve learnt in your MBA, but remember to continually build new skills and experiences in your life. Nurture the friendships and networks that you began at MBS. Most of all, be mentally agile. If you are adaptable in your mindset, everything else will follow, includ-ing new career opportunities, better ways for you to interact with clients and colleagues, new approaches as you tackle the challenges ahead. I wish you every success; your future is bright.

Mark CrosbyDear Class of 2011, I very much enjoyed teach-ing many of you during your time at MBS, and I wish you all the best as you return to the work-force. I know that you have all learned a huge amount during your studies, but do not forget the maxim of Descartes – “question everything.” Keep on learning, keep on questioning, and use your knowledge, networks and compassion to build a better business and society.

Good luck,Mark

Peter DanaherDear Class of 2011, Sometimes the flow of infor-mation and the pace of change in the workplace can seem overwhelming. One of the best talents you can develop and refine in your working lives is the ability to pick out key pieces of information. Measure and observe the things that really matter. Also, new trends and “hot topics” can be seductive. However, often they are only a flash in the pan or just a repackaging of what is already known. Watch out for these false leads and vapour trails. Don’t always follow the herd and keep an eye out for information they isn’t right in front of you, but may be in your peripheral vision. Lastly, the most important talent in your working and personal life is the ability to communicate, be it by voice, email, letter, report or power point presentation. Always work at improving your communication skills. I wish you luck in your future careers and you unfolding lives. Peter Danaher

David PollardI just love being asked to share my thoughts and give advice. So here’re some quite gratuitous pointers. Although the notion of emotional intelligence is a bit ten-years-ago, it does contain an important grain of truth - that in any career getting on with people and being liked is important for doing a good job and being perceived as having leader-ship potential. A related point is that people skills gradually become as important as techni-cal skills in any job that is predominantly ser-vice focussed, and this includes includes people management. Thirdly, friends come and go in any work environment but enemies just accumu-late - so we all need to avoid making them in any working environment where we intend to stay. Competition with others needs to be tempered with with what the Romans called humanitas - common decency.

Sven FeldmanWith the MBA in your pocket you are now ready to embark on a successful career — be it in bank-ing, marketing, consulting, or actually producing something useful for the world. ;-) Here are my “bullet points” of advice: • Liveyourlifetothefullestanddon’treston what you have achieved, ever• Alwaystrysomethingnew,somethingthat challenges you and takes you out of your comfort zone• Dotherightthing,notwhatiscon-venient or expedient. Do what you believe in and what you can proudly talk about with your grandchildren one day• Ashardasyouworkedforyoursuccess— now and in the future, — never forget that it is you who owes society, not the other way ‘round. Stay humble, contribute your share, en-courage others to do theirs, and try to give back

Best of luck in all your future endeavours!

Congratulations on a wonderful achievement. I know that each of you have learned a lot during your degree and have made many new friends - if I had any advice it would be to stay in touch. Stay in touch with your learning by staying intellectually curious and taking the opportunity that every workplace will provide you to keep learning and changing. Stay in touch with your classmates by regularly meeting up with them or interacting on email or the web. Stay in touch with the School by coming back to alumni events (we hold these internationally as well as domes-tically) and reunions. We are always keen to hear what our alumni are doing and very proud of the many and different ways in which you serve your companies and communities. You carry our best wishes with you.

Jenny

ASEANASEAN is a syndicate made up of a bunch of students who have no idea what is written in their mission and vision state-ment, nevertheless united by their passion for good food (such as hot pot and moon cake), good fun (playing mah-jong or congklak) and good company (members of the committee ). We aim to utilise our South East Asian charm and hospitality to provide alternative social settings for MBS-ers outside the fancy lecture rooms. We hope these would help to ease some of the pressure of Segmenting-Targeting-Positioning, BATNA, or even normal distribution that the students often face, no matter whether they come from South East Asian countries or not, whether they in Part-Time, Full-Time or Weekend mode, as long as they are the proud members of Melbourne Business School family.

BasketballAs we all know an MBA certainly stretches the brain - but what about stretching the body? Well basketball is certainly a sport that stretches both! With this in mind, in mid-2010 a group of like-minded enthusiasts decided to form a basketball team, playing games every Sunday at Melbourne Sports and Recreation Centre. These elite athletes first bonded as part of the official MBS basketball team that comprehensively dis-patched of AGSM during the 2010 annual inter-varsity sports day. As they basked in the glory of vic-tory they new this was a feeling that they could get used to! However, this feeling didn’t last long - we lost our first game of the season! But we went on to win our next game (current record is 2 wins and 5 losses) and we formed a great bond along the way. Thanks to Ryan Gunasekera for bringing the team together and also to Ukari Warmann, Darren Yau, Matthew Schwantes, James Blake and Bill Yu for showcasing their tal-ents - both on and off the court!

ConsultingThe consulting club finished up this year in good spirits, hoping to follow a year of record placements (2010) with the hope that we can do even better in the future. The club aims to help students become aware of the consulting industry, and assist those with consulting aspirations to successfully land roles.

We’ve been extremely busy for the past few years. In particular, the annual EY case competition, ethics roundtable, weekly case practices, and company case workshops / presentations have become highlights of the MBS experience. Ad-ditionally we’ve sponsored movie nights and miscellaneous events like ‘the art of dressing,’ which have been both fun and informative (and led to MBS students get-ting a 20% discount at Joe Black!)

Most importantly, we’ve found giving back to the MBS community to be incredibly rewarding -- our role leading the club has been a highlight of our time here at MBS. Thank you for giving us the opportunity, and we look forward to seeing you out there after graduation.

IncultDuring my time at MBS, I got an op-portunity to learn a lot about various cultures of the world. My desire to showcase the culture of my country on a global platform led to me taking active interest in the activities of In-Cult (Indian Cultural Club) at MBS. It has been a fun experience with InCult due to the great interest and enthusi-asm that people at MBS have shown to learn and enjoy different cultures. Our Holi event at the start of the year saw MBSites having a gala time paint-ing each other’s faces with colors; some were seen getting rid of their inhibi-tions and rolling on the colorful floor. The color-painted faces brought the colors of India to the MBS courtyard.Diwali, India’s festival of lights brought a glimpse of Indian culture to MBS. Once again, MBSites were seen enjoy-ing themselves lighting ‘diyas’ and sparklers. Everyone gorged on the deli-cious Indian food and enjoyed betting their candies in ‘Teen Patti’, the Indian version of poker.

Summing up last year, InCult had a lot of fun bringing the Indian culture: colors, food & music to MBS.

Marketing AssociationThe MBS Marketing Association was once introduced during a student event as the Advertising Club. Clearly, this person missed the lecture during the Marketing core class about what marketing is about, and I’m sure Patrick Butler would like to have a few words with this person. In any case, as you will see from the events, the Marketing Association is hardly about advertising.

We inherited a 1 or 2 event-a-term association, and grew to have more events and members. This term (T3 ’10) was our most successful with 7 events organized during the term (one of the most active in school). Naturally, all you MBA smarty-pants will say that volume does not equal quality, but considering an average turnout per event of around 35 people, I would say that this is a pretty darn good job!

The association will be leaving behind a bit of legacy with the branded events (naturally, being a marketing-based association). We’ve started the Marketing Faculty Speaker Series as well as the highly popular BrandManager@Work speaker series, which we hope will continue long after we are gone. In short, to the new committee, don’t mess this up!!

In all, its been a great experience. We’ve had the chance to meet some amazing leaders, gain some insightful knowledge and build some useful networks. The collage below is a collection of some of the events and brands we’ve brought into the school.

Good work, guysThe team: Mamta Gupta, Nadira Hashim, Bryan Le-ong, Bonze Cheng, Jef Van Acoleyen and Kenn Ro-drigues

Net ImpactMBS’ class of 2011 has taken leaps and bounds towards Net Impact’s long term goals. Under the masterful guidance of bourbon-swilling, smokey Jeff Cheeky, the indefatigable and inherently catching enthusiasm of Mindy Leow, and with occa-sional support from Luke ‘pass me the mi-crophone’ van O, we’ve seen: a huge surge in new memberships (big up the Sept. 2010 intake); the first ever Australia-wide Net Im-pact conference; and what promises, at time of going to press, to be the most high profile APAC Net Impact event on record in early 2011; the inauguration of a Melbourne pro-fessional chapter; and a plethora of events geared towards raising the profile of social impact activity. It’s been truly exciting to watch an ever-increasing numbers of future business leaders join the cause and actively engage with making our world sustainable. It’s never too late.

PhotographyWe accomplished quite a bit actually. Ask the reception, and they will tell you that we harassed them for pots, pans, furniture & lighting. We have run behind the kitch-en staff begging them to make us napkin swans. We have had confidential planning meetings at The Corkman! We got a little high on red wine. We threw an afternoon party under cherry blossoms. We gave away tons of cash for pictures you guys sent in. We basically had a ball... and we LOVED your enthusiasm... we LOVED doing it.

PokerThe MBS Poker Club was formed and approved in September 2010 after a bunch of part time students decided their once-a-term poker nights were so much fun that they would be a good idea for a new club. The club now has over 50 mem-bers of both part time and full time students, and held it’s first event on November 12th 2010, with a great mix of 52 beginners and experienced players playing in a members-only lounge in a city bar. It was a very fun night of music, movies, friendly poker playing, and some real com-petitive playing as well. The first MBS Poker Club champion was Will Herron, who scooped the pool at the twenty dollar table twice. Well done Will. The Poker Club Team is already planning next event, so keep your eyes peeled.

SoccerRain or shine, 8o or 38o weather, week 1 or week 9 or finals week; we were there, on the pitch, kicking around and kicking each other. Definitely a club for the hard core, not for the faint-hearted! The main question is: Where were you? The soccer club has experienced its best moments, with a glorious 4-0 win against a lackluster AGSM team. The fact that it was a 7-a-side game and they only had 5 people with no subs while we had 14 people doesn’t matter! It’s all about the spirit and the will to win. We’ve also seen the best of Latin skills, European precision, Asian determination, African power and Aussie brawn. Oh yeah, and there were also the Americans to make up the numbers ;). We’ve also experienced some of our worse moments. More than once, there were a few crunching tackles that saw a couple of players show up the next day in crutches (some people say they were faking to get sympathy from the girls, but who am I to say…). We’ve also had a few pulled hamstrings, mostly from bending down to tie a shoelace. World cup winners, we are not. But for this Beautiful Game, we have pas-sion.

SportsSince the inception of Sports club in term 3 of 2009, it has been a fascinating jour-ney. Covering every sport in demand, Club has hosted range of sporting events from Soccer, Basketball, Cricket, Squash and Tennis to marathon and biking. Function-ing alongside the other related clubs we ignited the fighting sports spirit among students which got reflected in our 6-0 soc-cer game win against AGSM in 2009.

Inter intake Cricket & Basketball tournaments has seen the healthy rivalry and competitive sprits of students while providing wonderful experience to new-bies. Games created an easy and informal environment for students to interact and network with different batches.

Going by the Melbourne sprit, we ran with the city in Runmelbourne mara-thon and biked along the yarra river. MBS Sports Club continues to provide av-enues to engage in sports and maintain a healthy, sporty and stress free lifestyle.

Squash

It’s been a fun year on the hard-wood with over twenty squash club meetings, and hundreds of great points. It was great seeing all of the regulars out there on Friday’s and Saturday’s sweating and subsequently limping during class the next week!

I hope all of the newcomers had fun and got an introduction to the game if only one time. Don’t forget to mention Squash in your job interviews, you never know who’ll take you up for a game!

Hope to see you on the court soon, and remember Squash is the sport of busi-ness!

Cheers,

Women in Management(WAM)2010 was an exciting year for WAM, we continued to assist students to make the most of their time at the school as a resource and support platform, where they can better acquaint with fellow female students, faculty, alumni and business professionals in the community.

We had some great events through out the year including:

Women in Finance – Challenges and Opportunities, with guest speakers Jan Begg (ex-Head of PMO, ANZ Bank), and Vicki Allen (COO, Trust Company Ltd.).

Mentorship an Women in Business Roundtable with special guests Melanie Sanders, Bain & Co; Marianne Matin, WHK; Jenny Barbour, Jenny Barbour & Associ-ates.

2010 Annual Women and Management dinner which was held at the Grand Hyatt with around 600 pro-fessional females in attendance. The guest speaker was Elizabeth Proust, AO.

Why Women Make Better Marketers than Men, pre-sented by professor Mark Ritson, pulled a crowd of both males and females!

Thanks to everyone who supported WAM and attend-ed our events in 2010!

Wine and PhilosophyThinking and drinking. Not two activities that normally go together, but they worked out quite well for us this year. We kicked off the revital-ised Wine & Philosophy club on the 221st anniversary of the storming of the Bastille with a look at the French Revolution, its causes and the les-sons it holds for us today. And we drank a bit of wine. We then turned our attention to the subject of ambi-tion, and the differences and ten-sions between public and private ambitions. And we drank some more wine. We discussed the role of business school in modern society, focusing particularly on what has made MBS a purposeful and mean-ingful experience for current and former students. We started to drink wine, stopped for bread and cheese, and then finished the wine in the mes. And then there was the winery tour, which was just good fun. In vino veritas.
