History
In 1977, the University of New South Wales (UNSW), with federal government resources, established the AGSM as New South Wales' second school of postgraduate management studies. In January 1999, the AGSM and the Graduate School of Business of the University of Sydney merged under the AGSM brand. In November 2005, the universities demerged their business schools and the AGSM reverted to wholly UNSW ownership.
One year later, UNSW merged the AGSM with the UNSW Faculty of Commerce and Economics, creating the Australian School of Business (for a brief period, the new faculty was called the Faculty of Business). UNSW's Vice Chancellor, Fred Hilmer, appointed Alec Cameron to manage the integration of the AGSM with the UNSW Faculty of Commerce and Economics. Following the integration, the Vice Chancellor inducted Alec Cameron as the dean of the new school.
In mid-2007, the faculties physically combined, and moved into UNSW's newly renovated Heffron Building, which UNSW renamed the Australian School of Business Building.
In 2011 Professor Chris Styles was appointed as Deputy Dean and Director AGSM and the Master of Business & Technology program was added to AGSM offering.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Throughout the history of commercial life nobody has ever quite liked the commission man. His function is too vague, his presence always seems one too many, his profit looks too easy, and even when you admit that he has a necessary function, you feel that this function is, as it were, a personification of something that in an ethical society would not need to exist. If people could deal with one another honestly, they would not need agents.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“History is the present. That’s why every generation writes it anew. But what most people think of as history is its end product, myth.”
—E.L. (Edgar Lawrence)
“When the coherence of the parts of a stone, or even that composition of parts which renders it extended; when these familiar objects, I say, are so inexplicable, and contain circumstances so repugnant and contradictory; with what assurance can we decide concerning the origin of worlds, or trace their history from eternity to eternity?”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
