The three-year agreement sees the deployment of a Nortel wireless network at the MGSM North Ryde and Sydney CBD campuses.
Nortel will gain access to a number of certified MGSM courses, and for marketing purposes will be acknowledged and the school’s official technology partner.
“This important agreement goes well beyond the introduction of new technology,” Macquarie Graduate School Dean Professor Roy Green said.
“Over the next few years we can expect to further enhance the quality and relevance of our teaching material by marrying the technology with practical input from a global communications leader like Nortel,” he said.
“By linking 'real world' experience with the most current management theories and principles from around the globe, MGSM provides executives with a learning experience that transcends the traditional boundaries of a business school.”
Nortel Australia-New Zealand managing director Mark Stevens said in the fast-approaching age of “hyperconnectivity” – where the number of devices connected to a network outpaces the number of people connected – managing communications became an increasingly important part of graduate management training.
“There’s a natural synergy between MGSM’s focus on leadership in management education and Nortel’s focus on leadership in delivering enterprise communications solutions,” Mr Stevens said.
