Joshua Gans has written an excellent post on the proposed merger between Melbourne Business School (MBS) and the University of Melbourne’s Faculty of Economics and Commerce (FEC) that didn’t go through.

In it, he lists some of the factors that contributed to the merger being blocked; such as the differences in organizational culture, teaching culture, and industry engagement between the two schools.

He isn’t as concerned about competition from the FEC as I am (more on this some other time) but, like me, he is very optimistic about MBS’s future and place in Australia and the Australian education industry.
