Slides from EBE NSW Professional Development Event - HSC Business Studies Human Resources (Topic 4) Information Evening held on 13 March 2013
The above NSW Institute of Teachers’ endorsed EBE NSW PD event (held in association with The University of Sydney Business School) was an outstanding success. Held at The University of Sydney, participants were able to hear Dr. Will Harvey speak on “Attracting, retaining and developing talent” and “Ethics, Reputation and CSR”. Participants increased and updated their knowledge of the Board of Studies NSW HSC Human Resources topic, as the event examined contemporary business issues, using actual business case studies. Participants were able to ask questions and had opportunities to network with other participants. Teachers can learn a lot from academics who are experts with regards to the subject matter we teach and who share the findings of their research and practice through events such as this one. Some positive feedback about this event was received from participants:
“Will was a great speaker, case studies very useful.”

Newspaper article - "The case for economics" by Professor John Lodewijks
Professor John Lodewijks wrote an article for The Australian on 8 July 2013 titled “The case for economics”.
In his introduction, Professor Lodewijks, writes:
“Why does a case for economics need to be made in the first place? Surely economics is the foundation discipline for studies in business, finance, accounting and related fields. Acknowledged as the queen of the social sciences, the scientific community recognises the value of the discipline with the award of Nobel Prizes.”
