  Welcome to the Centre for Asian Business

The Centre for Asian Business is a community of leading academics in the fields of Business, Commerce, Law, Management and Marketing dedicated to producing high-quality research on Asian business, and broadening the Australian understanding of Asian business practices.

The Centre aims to serve both academic and industry needs through high-quality, in-depth research into Asian business practices and environments, whilst encouraging the development of collaborative partnerships between Australian and Asian scholars, businesses and institutions.

The Centre for Asian Business seeks, through our research and events, to not only make an important contribution to Australia's understanding of Asian business, but to assist businesses, particularly Australian companies, in their Asian ventures by providing them with high-quality, in-depth research, and facilitating a range of networking and educational events in order to encourage greater collaboration within the region.

Established on 1 January 2010, and officially launch on 12 May 2011, the Centre is located within the International Graduate School of Business (IGSB). Research teams and members are, however, drawn from all schools within the Division of Business of the University of South Australia (UniSA), including the Schools of Commerce, Law, Management, Marketing as well as the IGSB. We believe this cross disciplinary approach and diverse research expertise form a major strength of the Centre, and will ensure its relevance and importance to both academia and industry.
