In Business Management we participate in the Business Alive program which is a curriculum based enrichment program, teaching Business Management students about business through the experience of a consultant from a sponsoring organisation.

Over a period of up to ten weeks, consultants from leading Australian companies and local businesses commit themselves to showing students in the classroom how the Business Management curriculum relates to the day to day activities of modern business.

Consultants cover topics such as marketing, ethics, management, production, finance and budgeting and human resources. A visit to the consultant’s place of work adds to the valuable links between theory and the real world operation of business. Students have the opportunity to meet and talk with local businesses, increasing their potential future employment contacts and gaining experiences which can expand their career choices.

Business Alive gives students direct access to the business consultant and their company’s operation. Supported by the flexible resources kit, students gain a practical context for the skills and knowledge they are developing in the classroom, and learn more about the role of business in the economy and the community.

Examples of businesses which have participated with Melbourne High are Shell, KPMG Peat Marwick, Coca-Cola, The Australian Industries Commission, Transfield, Arnotts, Business Solutions Pty. Ltd, Treasury Corporation of Victoria, BHP, Telstra, Cummins, Orica Australia, Victorian Employers Chamber of Commerce and Industry, T.A.C. and many others.
