3 From the Dean Title Thank you to all who have invested in Melbourne Business School In 2014, Melbourne Business School celebrated a number of achievements. Our first class graduated from our new one-year MBA, we increased faculty by 30 per cent and opened a Malaysian office for our expansion into Asia. Also, our strengthened Career Management Centre successfully placed 91 per cent of graduates within three months of graduation, and we launched the new Master of Business Analytics, our first-ever, pre-experience program. MBS has also invested in an enhanced Advancement program, with a renewed focus on alumni activities, such as our Global Alumni Celebration and Alumni Reunion. Most importantly, we generated more philanthropic support than ever before, seeing a 29 per cent increase in donations. The School is extremely grateful for each and every contribution. Your generosity is important in a number of ways. The School faces increasing competition globally in management education, and it is vital that we continue building our philanthropic program to maintain our long-term strength. For an independent, not-for-profit institution, the importance of donors and volunteers cannot be overestimated. We depend on the generosity of individuals, companies and foundations for innovation and expansion. As a community of donors, you have invested in our future and strengthened your involvement with the School. Your philanthropic support ensures that we continue delivering world-class programs, introduce new initiatives to nurture and teach the next generation of business professionals and provide scholarships, academic chairs and new interdisciplinary research projects. From everyone at Melbourne Business School, we thank you for your support and look forward to working with you to realise our vision and build on our considerable successes. Thank you.

5 Supporting our Indigenous business leaders My time at Melbourne Business School was so important it changed how I approach my business and my career. But more importantly, it changed the conversation around my dining table. My kids are now talking about going to university. Jasmin Herro (MURRA 2013) CEO Outback Global Vice President of Outback Global USA Winner of Supply Nation Supplier of the Year Award Finalist Westpac/AFR 100 Women of Influence 2014 Finalist Ethnic Business Awards 2014 MBS Outstanding Recent Alumna Award 2014 In 2012, MBS launched a pilot program with the support of Kinaway (the Victorian Aboriginal Chamber of Commerce), Supply Nation and the SEMBA Class of The MURRA Indigenous Business Masterclass represented a new approach to Indigenous advancement by giving Indigenous business owners and entrepreneurs the skills to develop their enterprises. Committed to contributing to initiatives that further education for disadvantaged communities, the SEMBA Class of 2003 jumped at the opportunity to support the program by offering seed funding for its design and delivery. By 2014, MURRA had welcomed three cohorts and new partners, including Ian Kirk (MBA 1998), a generous, long-term supporter of the School. MURRA is also supported by Indigenous Business Australia, who provided travel and accommodation scholarships. Ian reflects, I was invited to a MURRA dinner, and was talking to some of the students. They already had the skills they needed, but they just hadn t joined the dots. And on MURRA, they developed that ability to think laterally across the skillsets they had. It was really gratifying to see. MURRA is an example of the benefits that can flow from different groups collaborating for a common purpose. Since the program began, we are proud to have welcomed many new mentors from our extensive alumni and corporate networks who have worked with our Indigenous students to develop their businesses.

6 The Dean s Circle Thank you to our Dean s Circle donors in 2014 for the tangible difference you are making to the future of Melbourne Business School. The Dean s Circle recognises donors who make gifts and pledges of $1,200 or more to the School in a single year. Membership of the Dean s Circle demonstrates a commitment by our alumni, friends and staff to the worldclass management education that MBS delivers. Donors make significant gifts that impact every aspect of our teaching and research. In 2014, we inducted nine Lifetime Patrons and four Lifetime Ambassadors into the Dean s Circle and launched new levels of recognition for our donors and volunteers. Our Lifetime Patrons are loyal and generous donors who have provided donations of $100,000 or more during their lifetime. They are recognised permanently by the School. Lifetime Ambassadors are MBS alumni and friends who help us attain gifts of $100,000 or more during their lifetime. They also receive our permanent recognition. Below are the tiered levels of Dean s Circle membership for donor and volunteer efforts in philanthropy. Donor recognition levels Gift amount $100,000+ over lifetime $25,000+ $10,000 $24,999 Gift amount Level Lifetime Patron Leader Benefactor $5,000 $9,999 Steward $2,500 $4,999 $1,200 $2,499 Volunteer recognition levels $100,000+ $1,200 $99,999 Partner Member Level Lifetime Ambassador Ambassador During and since my MBA studies at Melbourne Business School, I have founded two businesses, one industry organisation and one charity. In doing so, I have always called upon the MBS community, both faculty and alumni, for support. Without the confidence gained from studying at MBS and the support from the community, these start-ups would have been far more challenging. So, now, I feel it is my time to say thank you and give back, which is why I decided to become a Dean s Circle donor this year.

7 Krystyna Campbell-Pretty remembers a life of giving For the Melbourne Business School community, 2014 saw the passing of Dean s Circle Lifetime Patron Harold (Campbell) Campbell-Pretty. A 1940s war baby from a working-class background, Harold became an internationally renowned marketing strategist and committed philanthropist. In the 1980s, Harold and his wife Krystyna turned their Amberley Corporation, one of Australia s first agencies to use market data to inform market strategy, into a global player, with a client list that boasted Ford Motor Company, Compaq Computers, IBM, British Airways and many others. He was extremely good with numbers, understanding data and seeing patterns, Krystyna says, but he combined that with a lot of intuitive and qualitative ability. It was a rare combination. The Campbell-Pretty s sold the Australian arm of their business in the early 2000s but continued off-shore consulting, servicing long-standing clients and pursuing their extensive philanthropic interests. Among the beneficiaries of their generosity are MBS, the National Gallery of Victoria, the Arts Centre and The Production Company. He very much admired the MBS culture and had a number of friends and business associates who had MBAs. He was just very committed to everything that the School stood for and the concept of having such excellence in Melbourne. Having contributed over $100,000 in his lifetime as a Dean s Circle Lifetime Patron, many MBS students have benefitted from his kindness, which always came with no strings attached. While known for his love of the good life, Krystyna says Harold never forgot his roots and responsibilities. We came from the other side. It s as simple as that. We ve never taken anything for granted. It seemed always appropriate that, if you ve been successful, you put back into the community what you ve been able to gain from your capabilities and support structures, such as schools. Born in 1943, the son of a US Marine on leave in Melbourne before heading to Guadalcanal in the Pacific, Harold was initially raised by his grandmother, mother and her three sisters in a small terrace in the inner- Melbourne, working-class suburb of Richmond. He grew up in a household of women, who were in their late teens to early twenties and would talk to him about absolutely everything as if he were an adult. They were all dressmakers, so they used to use him as a dummy to pin their clothes on, Krystyna recalls. And it was his grandmother who gave him a taste for business at an early age. She was a cleaner and would put Harold in a suit at aged four or five and head off at dawn on the tram to clean offices in Collins Street. And he liked offices very much, neat pens and pencils, so decided that was the kind of thing he was going to do. When his mother married his much-loved stepfather, the family moved to a war service home in the suburbs. Harold attended state schools and excelled, skipping grades and matriculating at just 16. He then enrolled at the University of Melbourne, initially in Philanthropy was a simple desire to give back what we were able to enjoy from our success, nothing more complex than that. pure mathematics (he had early ambitions to become a nuclear physicist) but was persuaded by his early office experience to change to Commerce and pursue a business career. He studied part time while working full time in increasingly demanding roles. His employers included ICI (now Orica), major farm machinery dealer William Adams, where he became Company Secretary at the age of 21, and Ford Motor Company. Burning ambition eventually drove him to establish his own company. From then on, he was committed to consulting and guiding large organisations in their business decisions, through process and structural improvement. Nothing held him back, Krystyna says, absolutely nothing. He loved cars, art, history, music, especially musical theatre, and he was a great ballroom dancer and won several cups and championships. He was a Renaissance man. He saw life as a big picture, not a narrow funnel. Philanthropy was a simple desire to give back what we were able to enjoy from our success, nothing more complex than that. 10 MELBOURNE BUSINESS SCHOOL DONOR REPORT

8 Melbourne Business School Annual Fund Social Impact Internships Your support is critical to everything that Melbourne Business School does. Your giving enables us to go beyond the basics of a business school to really contribute to the development of a new generation of leaders. Zeger Degraeve Dean, Melbourne Business School Dean, Faculty of Business and Economics, The University of Melbourne Annual support from alumni and friends of MBS has increased substantially over the past few years. It is this support that enables the School to improve its programs and support today s students with enhanced services and excellent teaching. Annual Fund 2014 $164,675 In 2014, MBA students completed internships at many socially focused organisations, thanks to your support. The Melbourne Business School Social Impact Internship Program enables students to contribute management expertise to organisations that otherwise could not afford to hire them. Students contribute to projects across a range of functional areas, including marketing, operations, strategy, finance, human resources and research. After studying for eight months straight, I wanted a chance to apply what I had studied outside of the classroom. Whitelion s cause of helping disadvantaged young people really resonated with me. Keeping the balance between a business orientation and the social need was a challenging tightrope to walk, so we kept our minds open to different business models and carefully weighed up which approach was best. What you supported: MBS Annual Fund Unrestricted Scholarships 60% 30% Annual Fund % increase from From meeting with various businesses during the eight weeks, it s clear that there s a strong appetite for businesses and non-profits to work together in the social enterprise space in Australia. Hopefully, I provided some useful insights for Whitelion.

9 Master of Business Analytics scholarships Corporates support big data careers Some of Australia s biggest corporate names endorsed Melbourne Business School s newest master s degree in 2014 through generous scholarship support. Australia s largest grocery chain Woolworths, major global consultancy firm A.T. Kearney and leading beverage company Carlton and United Breweries provided scholarships to four outstanding students from the first intake into our Master of Business Analytics (MBusA) program, which began in Woolworths is passionate to further the science of developing better insights for better business decisions through advanced data analytics, Emma Gray, Woolworths Chief Data and Loyalty Officer said. And Woolworths Scholarship winner Jenny Liu is grateful for the company s forward thinking. Attracting students of Jenny s calibre is a coup for the program and future employers. The former BAE Systems aeronautical engineer and Defence Department intelligence analyst says she s keen to develop skills that will put her at the forefront of business decision-making. This degree will help me not only have the technical abilities to interpret and analyse data, but will give me the creative and strategic perspectives to translate information into something that transforms the way businesses and corporate strategies work. Jenny Liu Woolworths Scholar Companies are sitting on a ton of data. While working part time, I ve seen where all this customer data is, but it s not being used. A lot of companies don t know what to do with it. This degree will help me apply it. David Loong A.T. Kearney Scholar I believe analytics will be the next basis of competition. Whoever can extract more value from all this capital expenditure, and IT projects and data collection, they ll be the people who lead the pack in the future. Jason Widjaja (MBA 2010) CUB Scholar A.T. Kearney Scholarship winner David Loong came straight to the intense, one-year program from his University of Melbourne commerce degree. Carlton and United Breweries awarded two MBusA scholarships, won by Emmeline Wu, a 2014 commerce graduate from the University of Queensland, and Jason Widjaja (MBA 2010), a consultant with mid-sized management consultancy Litmus Group. MBS Dean Professor Zeger Degraeve says the School began working with industry to create the MBusA when it realised just how much companies needed skilled data analytics professionals with business acumen. Industry surveys show that in the next two years, over 1600 jobs will be created in Australia alone in the field of business analytics, he said....in the next two years over 1600 jobs will be created in Australia alone in the field of business analytics MELBOURNE BUSINESS SCHOOL DONOR REPORT

10 Program support Doherty Support of Ethics This gift supports the teaching of ethics at Melbourne Business School and honours Peter Doherty (MBA 1990), the late husband of Sally Holloway. When asked what she would say to a classroom of MBA students, Sally says: Make sure you leave society in a better way than you found it. It s about thinking that you are not the only one here, and you have a responsibility to build something for the greater good of all. There are two ways to live your life you can get rich, and that s short term and individualistic. The other way is about building wealth and assisting in a better future for everyone. When asked why Sally chose to give to MBS, when it was her husband who was our alumnus, the Managing Director of CP2 says: I know that Peter was extremely grateful for his postgraduate education and for having the opportunity to do the Executive MBA with the School. Peter had some great mentors, friendships and experiences during his time. Being part of different teams and working on various projects taught him a lot about team dynamics and life in general, for which he was very grateful. I know he would be excited by others having the same opportunity through MBS. Sally Holloway Managing Director, CP2 Grateful Graduate Bursary This bursary was established in 2007 through the generous support of an MBS alumnus. It helps students in financial hardship and has enabled several students to remain on the program when the only other option would have been withdrawal. I ve seen our students experience many highs and a few lows. The birth of a child, getting the dream job, all these things have happened in the course of an MBA, as has the sudden loss of the ability to complete the program through no fault of the student. The Grateful Graduate Bursary is, singularly, the most important way for us to help our students in a way that gives them dignity and shows that this is, first and foremost, a community who cares for each other.

11 Program support The John Clemenger Memorial Scholarship and Prize Since 1965, the funds endowed in honour of John Clemenger have been used to recognise and support deserving students through two special awards. The deserving recipients of the latest John Clemenger Memorial Scholarship and Prize are testament to the MBS values of diversity and global reach, which the School has promoted since offering Australia s first MBA more than 50 years ago. Karen Allardice (MBA 2014) won the Clemenger Prize for being the top MBA student in her year, while Saud Alrakhayes (MBA 2014, MMktg current) was awarded the Clemenger Scholarship as an outstanding student, enrolled in both our MBA and Master of Marketing degree programs. Saud Alrakhayes presenting a gift to Peter Clemenger At a recognition luncheon held on 26 November 2014 to commemorate five decades of the awards, Saud displayed the spirit of gratitude that the people of his Kuwaiti homeland are renowned for never receiving without also giving by presenting Peter Clemenger, John s son, with a gift. Customised and shipped from Kuwait, the trophy featured two significant national emblems the Kuwaiti Boom, a traditional Arabic sailing vessel, representing the country s past, when such vessels were used for pearl expeditions and transporting water, and the Kuwait Towers, honouring one of the nation s important water storage sites and a symbol of modern Kuwait. I am so thankful and honoured to be both a Rupert Murdoch Fellow and a recipient of the John Clemenger Memorial Prize. Doing my MBA at MBS was a fantastic opportunity, driven by the quality of the faculty, the intense and challenging program and the diversity of the students. The experience has given me the skills to drive my career to the next level at The Boston Consulting Group. Genevieve Blanch s decision to join the full-time MBA program in August 2013 was helped by her fellowship win. I was a consultant, and doing well, but I just felt that there was a gap. It was about confidence. At that point in my life five years after my degree I had some great professional experiences under my belt, but I wanted to round out my skills and get the confidence to take me to the next level. The scholarship gave me the financial freedom to fully dedicate myself to my studies and co-curricular activities so that I could achieve the academic and personal development that will help in my long-term career goal to be a leader in the Australian business community. I believe this support and increased self-belief were crucial in helping me attain my dream job with McKinsey. I am so thankful for the scholarship and support that I have received from the MBS Community. Karen Allardice (MBA 2014) Management Consultant, The Boston Consulting Group Helen Macpherson Smith Fellowship The Helen Macpherson Smith Fellowship provides support for talented women to pursue an MBA at Melbourne Business School. Such an investment in MBS scholarships helps us to attract and recognise the best and brightest students, enhances their study experience and positions them to impact their organisations and communities. Genevieve Blanch (MBA 2014) Associate, McKinsey & Company 18 MELBOURNE BUSINESS SCHOOL DONOR REPORT

12 Corporate support Our role as educators of the next generation of business leaders is reflected in the high level of support we receive from the corporate community to help our students excel. Telstra Telstra is offering a scholarship for an Indigenous student to enrol in a part-time degree program at MBS, while also offering full-time employment at Telstra with a mentoring relationship with a senior executive. This support allows the recipient to not only gain an esteemed postgraduate qualification in management but implement their learning with one of Australia s leading organisations. Tourism Victoria Tourism Victoria is another major supporter, having contributed to Melbourne Business School since 2004 and now the funder of an annual Case Competition, which immerses MBA students in real business challenges in the $20-billion Victorian tourism industry. Egon Zehnder Leadership Prize winner, an uber achiever Xue Huang (MBA 2014) is the 2014 Egon Zehnder Leadership Prize winner. A month after graduating in 2014, Xue was back in her home city of Beijing as the China Communications Lead for global taxi-industry disrupter Uber. In Beijing, she reunited with her Melbourne-born husband and three-year-old son after her MBA year at Melbourne Business School. The prize is awarded for outstanding leadership and contribution to life outside the classroom. On hearing she had won the prize, Xue accepted it with typical humility. Many classmates from my cohort also had great initiative or demonstrated strong leadership skills and potential in and outside classroom. They also deserve this award. Xue Huang (MBA 2014) China Communications Lead, Uber The prize, sponsored by Egon Zehnder, is just one of the valuable contributions the global executivesearch firm makes to our past and present students. It also sponsors two of our major events, the Women and Management and Annual Alumni dinners, and provides consultants who conduct talent management workshops on our Senior Executive MBA and Executive MBA programs. ACIL Allen Consulting Group Service Prize winner a popular choice An award won because your peers acknowledge your qualities and efforts has a special value, but, for Mohammad Barghash (MBA 2014), winning the ACIL Allen Consulting Group Service Prize was unexpected. Sponsored by Australia s largest, independent, economic, public policy and public affairs consulting firm, the prize is awarded to the individual whose cohort most believes has shown outstanding community service and enriched the student experience beyond the classroom. Mohammad now works as Projects Manager for the Asset Management Council and hopes to run his own private equity firm one day. I was really surprised when my name was called during the valedictory dinner, as this prize is very hard to get. I never expected that I would have that many students voting for me. I got much more out of my time at MBS than just the theoretical knowledge. First, I learned how to be effective in a community and that my actions could impact people s lives. Second, I met a great network of very diverse individuals, who will become great future business leaders in leading organisations. Mohammad Barghash (MBA 2014) Projects Manager, Asset Management Council 20 MELBOURNE BUSINESS SCHOOL DONOR REPORT

13 Corporate support The Rupert Murdoch Fellowship supporting global careers for 25 years Meet Michael Tandos 2014 Rupert Murdoch Fellowship winner The Rupert Murdoch Fellowship recognises the leadership potential, professional achievements, academic abilities and international outlook of an outstanding full-time MBA student. In addition to a living stipend and fee support, it provides an opportunity for exchange study at a leading overseas business school and an internship with News Corp. Since its establishment 25 years ago, the Rupert Murdoch Fellowship has welcomed a diverse range of recipients into its ranks. Each has gone on to serve communities and industries in outstanding ways. A winner of the fellowship almost 10 years ago, who undertook a study exchange at New York s Columbia University, Christopher Freeland (MBA 1996) is now the National Managing Partner for multinational law firm Baker and McKenzie in Sydney, where he also chairs the Sydney Film Festival. Former metallurgist Merrill Gray (MBA 1994) followed up her fellowship win and study exchange at the Vienna University of Economics and Business with a career as a management consultant before taking on her current role as Managing Director and CEO at BioSyngas, an innovative, ASX-listed company that develops renewable and natural-gas-based, co-generation energy systems. In a similar vein, Caroline Angoorly (MBA 1999) pursued her passion for renewable energy in numerous roles in the sector in North America before taking up her current role as Principal at GreenTao LLC, a specialist New Yorkbased firm that supports environmental businesses and projects in the energy and resources fields. She is also Managing Director and Chief Operating Officer at NY Green Bank, a division of the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority. These are just some of the impactful careers that News Corp s generous annual funding of The Rupert Murdoch Fellowship has helped launch over the past 25 years. For Michael Tandos, winning the 2014 Rupert Murdoch Fellowship was meaningful recognition and a boost to his career plans. I was very honoured when I heard about it, especially given that it s the award s 25th anniversary. It was a happy day, and that feeling has stayed with me throughout the program. With a background in small business, Michael has managed to notch up some big achievements, including successful property development projects and building an online start-up that delivered free, advertisingsupported, SMS services to the youth market just for the experience. Michael is pleased that his MBA and fellowship win have helped him to achieve his target position in management consulting at McKinsey & Company, where he can put his love of a challenge to good use. It might not sound much, but the living stipend enabled me to move very close to campus, which has made an enormous difference to the amount of time I have to contribute to the School outside of my studies. His extracurricular activities include Co-President of the Consulting Club and Marketing Lead for the Net Impact Club, which provide valuable networking, skillsenhancement opportunities and coaching to students outside of the classroom. Ahead of his graduation in 2015, Michael was busy organising his study exchange to the Kellogg School of Management at Chicago s Northwestern University and thinking about how he could continue to contribute to the School in the future. Julian Clarke CEO, News Corp Australia The alumni community was one of the biggest factors for me in deciding that MBS was where I wanted to be. They are just amazing in their willingness to contribute and engage with the School and students. Michael Tandos Rupert Murdoch Fellow 22 MELBOURNE BUSINESS SCHOOL DONOR REPORT

It s in giving that we can be proud to be part of this great School. A great school is the result of having great students and lecturers. To have them, we must provide the environment and opportunities for students to thrive, and this involves both the physical environment and the faculty. I believe the donations to MBS go towards this end, and therefore, all alumni should contribute to building and maintaining this great School.
