Invitation to the 2018 AAPBS Annual Meeting from Professor
Chris Styles to AAPBS Members
Dear
AAPBS Members,
It is
my great honour on behalf of the UNSW Business School to invite you to join us
in Sydney on November 18-20 for the 2018 AAPBS Annual Meeting.
The
Meeting theme ¡°The Future of Work¡± will be the focal point for a series of
presentations,
panel discussions and conversations on matters of mutual
interest to businesses and business schools.
Our
Meeting will be characterised by the strong involvement of senior figures from
the business world
who will engage with us on matters related to the way in which
organisations and industries are responding
to emerging opportunities and
challenges in regard to the reorganization of how their strategies are to be
achieved.
Themed
sessions will deal with the perspective from business across finance and
manufacturing,
and from professional service firms who are both facing
challenges as an industry and seeing the future of work as an area offering
consulting opportunities.
In addition,
the significance of entrepreneurial ventures in envisioned futures will be addressed
along with the challenges facing the corporate world,
and the broader social
policy implications.
A key
thread throughout these presentations and discussions will be the implications
for business schools
whether it be the future form that business schools will
take, impacts on programs portfolios and curricula, or the contribution that
business
schools
can make through research (both discipline-based and interdisciplinary).
The
2018 AAPBS Annual Conference will be held at the Four Seasons Sydney hotel in
the Circular Quay area of Sydney,
where it is on the edge of both the Sydney
CBD and Sydney Harbour. This location will allow attendees easy access to both
conference sessions
and the prime tourist attractions of the Sydney Opera
House, the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the area known as the Rocks.
I look
forward to greeting you in Sydney in November. In the meantime,
please refer to
our conference website https://www.business.unsw.edu.au/campaigns/aapbs2018 for further details.

ABOUT UTHM
The university was formerly known as Pusat
Latihan Staf Politeknik (PLSP) which was established on September 16 , 1993.
The core business of PLSP then was to train and produce polytechnics academic
staff to become knowledgeable and skilful in various engineering fields.
The
training institute was jointly administered by Universiti Teknologi Malaysia
and the Ministry of Education Malaysia.
Three years later, PLSP was upgraded to
Institut Teknologi Tun Hussein Onn (ITTHO). Dato¡¯ Sri Mohd Najib bin Tun Abdul
Razak
who was then the Minister of Education made the official announcement of
the new status on April 12, 1996.
This promotion was an acknowledgment of the
institution's excellence in producing human resources for technical education.
On September 27, 2000, the institute
achieved another milestone when the Malaysian government agreed to award a
university-college status to the institute.
This status served to recognise its
contributions in the development of science and technology as well as its role
in helping the nation to achieve its aspirations.
With its new status, the
institution was renamed as Kolej Universiti Teknologi Tun Hussein Onn (KUiTTHO)
and the official announcement was
made by Tan Sri Dato¡¯ Seri Musa bin Mohamed,
the then Minister of Education.
KUiTTHO continued to progress and produce skilful, knowledgeable and competitive
graduates.
Consequently, the Malaysian government, on September 20, 2006,
agreed to award the university-college a full university status
and changed its
name to Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia. On February 1, 2007, Datuk Mustapha
Mohamed,
the Minister of Higher Education officially announced the change of
status. Subsequently, Dato¡¯ Seri Hishamuddin Tun Hussein Onn made
the official
declaration of the change of name on March 2, 2007.
