LA TROBE VENTURE CAPITAL PROGRAM La Trobe University’s envisions itself as being one of the top 300 schools internationally. To do this, it needs to improve on some aspects of its business to get a higher score from international university ranking publishers. One of the most influential publishers is the British Quacquarelli Symonds, issuer of the QS World University Rankings. The university’s QS world rank is in a steady decline from its 205th rank in 2007 to its current rank which sits just outside the top 400 (Quacquarelli Symonds, 2014). To stop this trend, all of La Trobe’s faculties should improve in the six criteria QS use to rank universities.

This is evidenced by being awarded a 5-star rating from 2011-2014 by the Graduate Management Association of Australia, holding the prestigious EPAS accreditation, and is ranked in top 200 among business schools globally since 2010 (La Trobe University, 2014). These awards and rankings are indications that the…
