Professor Antonia Girardi, the Dean of Murdoch Business School, emphasised the significance of incorporating diverse perspectives from industry professionals, she said "I underscore the importance of co-designing academic units to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and the dynamic realities of the business landscape. This ensures that students receive a well-rounded education."
