Blake Dawson Prize for Business Literature
The annual Blake Dawson Prize for Business Literature was established to encourage the highest standards of commentary in the fields of business and finance. As such, the Prize is calculated to enable the general reader to be better informed about Australia’s commercial life and participants in that life. The range of subjects covered by the Prize includes Australian corporate and commercial literature, histories, accounts and analyses of corporate affairs as well as biographies of business men and women.
