On Wednesday 8 April 1964 the recently established Monash University held its first ever graduation ceremony, at which Professor Donald Cochrane presented ten candidates with their Bachelor of Economics. Visionary Foundations traces the history of business and economics at Monash University over its first 50 years, from the establishment of the Faculty of Economics and Politics with just five staff members in 1961, to the launch of Monash Business School with more than 350 academic staff in 2014. The history explores the development of the school’s unique identity and character, and details the changes and challenges it has faced along the journey. It celebrates Monash Business School’s diversity, innovation and expertise in both teaching and research, its many significant achievements, and the meaningful contributions it has made – and continues to make – to communities across the world.
