UNSW Business Society

We have commissioned some of Australia’s top journalists to create exciting and topical articles that are of particular interest to students. These include:

§  Social media for recruitment – Your social media profile can do more than impress your friends, it could be the difference between you getting your dream job.

§  Interview with IBM Managing Partner – Innovation and the future of the technology sector.

§  Who owns sport? –That’s the big question for the digital age as sport’s governing bodies, teams, venue owners, the media and others jostle for a slice of the financial action.

§  Alcohol and productivity – The impact of employees who drink too much.

§  Financial literacy in high schools – Should there be a financial literacy program introduced from kindergarten to graduation incorporating important information such as risk and the perils of a credit card debt.

§  Financial exclusion – 1 in 7 Australian adults are excluded from accessing basic financial services such as bank accounts, insurance or credit.

§  Interview on ethics - What business schools learnt from the global financial crisis.

§  Superbugs - Antibiotic resistance is a serious issue contributing to a growth in “super bugs”. Already about 7000 Australians die annually from infections caused by drug-resistant bacteria, so why do pharmaceutical companies seem reluctant to produce new medicines to tackle the problem?
