In 2007, UNSW’s faculty of Commerce and Economics merged with the Australian Graduate School of Management (AGSM) to form the UNSW Business School.[1] This brought many decades of business and economics thought leadership together, with the faculty having taken its first students in 1955 [2] and the AGSM in 1977.[3]
