Internationally renowned strategic management leader Professor Peter McKiernan has been appointed as dean of the Murdoch Business School, at Murdoch University. Previously, McKiernan held the chair of management at St Andrews University in Scotland for 19 years. He holds fellowships from both the British and European academies of management. The international management development association CEEMAN has also just selected him as its winner in the institutional management category of its prestigious annual awards. Vice-chancellor Professor Richard Higgott said McKiernan aims to begin the revitalisation of the business school with continued focus on the strong undergraduate programs, but with a greater emphasis on quality postgraduate and transnational teaching.
