description: The introduction of the e-voucher approach to Zambia’s input subsidy program, the Farmer Input Support Programme (FISP), was intended, inter alia, to improve farmers’ access to and use of modern inputs; incentivize private sector investment in fertilizer and other input value chains, thereby improving the timely availability of the inputs and bringing them closer to farmers; and encourage farmers to diversify away from maize by allowing them to use the e-voucher for the farm inputs or equipment of their choosing – not just maize seed and fertilizer. This study employs a difference- in-differences approach using Crop Forecast Survey (CFS) data from before and during the 2015/16 and 2016/17 e-FISP pilot years to empirically estimate the contemporaneous effects of the shift to the e-FISP from the traditional FISP on several of these outcomes. The results suggest that the e- FISP fell short of achieving many of its objectives, at least in the short-run and based on the outcomes that could be analyzed using the CFS data. At best, the outcomes analyzed were no different (in a statistically significant way) under the e-FISP and the traditional FISP; at worst, outcomes were worse under the e-FISP. These disappointing e-FISP results are likely due more to implementation challenges and lack of political will than to fundamental flaws in the e-FISP concept and design.

description: I have lost count of the number of times I've seen a study showing that parent talk predicts child language development, where the conclusion drawn by the authors (and press offices and the media) is that limited parental language causes child language problems. No other explanation is even countenanced. Yet if we were well taught in Psychology #101, we would realise that we need to consider alternative explanations for the observed association.
Consumer recall of brand associations for fabricated brands

description: Brand associations, or the information that consumers store in memory about a brand and can recall during purchase situations, are seen as an important brand asset. Marketers spend vast amounts of money building brand associations with consumers, and building associations in a variety of situations, and for a variety of usages for the brand. The research reported in this paper investigates the role of brand associations in relation to the high salience, low salience and fabricated brands for consumers. There has been previous research on counterfeit brands and unknown online brands. Brand associations have been tested across product categories and have been shown to benefit from leveraging partner brand equity. However, there is a paucity of research on brand associations for fabricated brands. A fabricated brand is a brand that has been made up. It is a brand that does not currently exist in the market place, and it is a brand for which consumers should have no brand knowledge. This research highlighted the need to understand the role that associations play in retrieval of information from consumer memory, and the manner in which advertising is designed to elicit brand associations.

description: This paper examines a project called 'Respect to History' which was undertaken by a Turkish oil company. This philanthropic program focused on redeveloping numerous local communities on the Gallipoli peninsula, which were in a state of disrepair. The program also developed and improved historic sites within the peninsula, celebrating the country's national heritage. These activities enhanced tourism as well as improved the social and economic quality of life of those living on the peninsula. This research investigates the impact of this strategic philanthropy on the social and economic wellbeing of these local communities, as well as how this impacted residents' views of the sponsoring firm. The data were collected from residents of the communities in the Gallipoli peninsula who were involved in the program. The results, using SEM, identified that respondents generally believed that both their economic and social quality of life has improved and the project has also had a positive impact for the sponsoring organisation.

description: New imaging technologies have led to a burgeoning of knowledge about the developing brain, and it is natural to want to apply this knowledge to improving children's learning. Centres for educational neuroscience have sprung up all over the place, with support from universities who see them as ticking two important boxes: interdisciplinarity and impact. But at the heart of this enterprise, there seems to be a massive disconnect. Neuroscientists can tell you which brain regions are most involved in particular cognitive activities and how this changes with age or training. But these indicators of learning do not tell you how to achieve learning.
My thoughts on the dyslexia debate

description: I respond to a forthcoming book by Julian Elliott and Elena Grigorenko called The Dyslexia Debate. They argue that dyslexia does not constitute a natural category, in terms of cognitive profile, neurobiology or genetics. They make a convincing case on the basis of available evidence. However, I suggest the dyslexia label will survive because it provides many people with a positive view of their difficulties which also helps them get taken seriously. For that reason, I think we may find it easier to work with the label and try to ensure it is used in a consistent and meaningful way, rather than to argue for its abolition.

An exploration of the propensity of consumers to recall brand associations for fabricated brands
Creators: name: Vieceli, Julian
name: Chifamba, Clive
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This conceptual paper discusses the investigation of the recall of brand associations of consumer for brands of high and low salience, as well as for fabricated brands. There has been research on brand associations for 'fake' or counterfeit brands, and also for brands with low residual awareness, but there has been little research on the role of brand associations for fabricated brands. This study will investigate the role of brand associations and the propensity of consumers to recall brand associations for brands that do not exist. It is proposed that consumers may revert to recalling associations for the product category when they are confronted with a brand name that does not exist. It is proposed to test this with an experimental method, utilising high salience, low salience and fabricated brands from a fast-moving consumer good and a service category. This study will have implications for the manner in which respondents utilise information related to a brand, and also the manner in which marketers advertise their brands, in order to differentiate the brand from others.

New foundations, the 'new' philanthropy and sectoral blending in international development cooperation
Creators: name: Moran, Michael
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: A growing number of agents from internet entrepreneurs to celebrities are entering an increasingly crowded development space, bringing with them ideas and approaches that emphasise market-oriented modes of grant-making. The discourse and practices of the new philanthropy, as it has come to be known, as well as the organisational forms which underpin programmatic design, is increasingly informed by a particular form of managerialism, labelled philanthrocapitalism by Bishop and Green (2008). This is hailed as a harbinger of dynamism to the supposedly staid and partly ineffectual third sector, which, its critics attest, has failed in its mission to curb entrenched poverty. For reasons that are not always clear, however, examination of these actors â- new foundations, venture philanthropists etc â- has largely flown under the radar of international political economy and development studies scholars who have tended, perhaps for reasons of sectoral scale or an 'enemy perception' as Knorringa and Helmsing (2008) have described it, to ignore the growth of social entrepreneurship in favour of empirical analysis of NGOs and programmes of official development actors such as international organisations and bilateral agencies. This paper investigates sectoral 'blending' in international development, a process whereby private sector approaches are diffused by 'for-profit' social enterprises such as Google.org, the Acumen Fund and the Skoll Foundation with the aim of increasing performance and 'impact'. It explores what this nascent paradigm might mean for the trajectory of development cooperation. It is found that a not-so-quiet revolution is taking place in philanthropy in the US. Despite the hollow platitudes that sometimes accompany this phenomenon, it is argued that it has significant implications for development policy and practice by both challenging and, somewhat counter intuitively, complementing the participatory model that has dominated development discourses since the late 1980s.

description: I argue that far from enhancing our understanding of language acquisition, Chomsky's ideas have led to stagnation, as linguists have gone through increasingly uncomfortable contortions to relate facts about children’s language to his theories. The problem is that the theories are derived from a consideration of adult language, and take no account of the process of development. There is a fundamental problem with an essential premise about what is learned that has led to years of confusion and sterile theorising.

Australian sell-side analysts' use of intellectual capital information

Year: 2024

description: This paper explores what types of intellectual capital (IC) information is referred to by sell-side analysts in their initiating coverage reports and how this information is embedded in analysts' valuation decision-making processes and justification of forecasts, valuations and recommendations. Empirical data is collected through the content analysis of 64 analysts' initiating coverage reports written on an equivalent number of companies included in the S&P/ASX 300 index. The content analysis is based on a categorisation scheme consisting of external, internal and human capital. The data analysis has benefited from both qualitative and quantitative attributes of content analysis. This study finds that sell-side analysts place greater importance on particular types of IC information over others, and several types of IC information are rarely or never used. At the same time IC plays a varying and broader role in analyst reports. IC is used to: (1) provide background information to understand the firm and its operations; (2) build the firm value creation story; (3) explain the strategies and methods of realising the value potential; (4) generate forecasts and valuations; (5) justify forecasts, valuations and recommendations; and (6) promote the firm as a good investment. The paper also reports: (1) inconsistency in the use of IC information; (2) lack of systematic analysis of IC information; and (3) an absence of any explicit references to key terminology used in the academic literature concerning IC. Practical implications - The findings of this study have implications for policy makers and professional associations in developing models and guidelines for reporting as well as analysing IC information and in re-evaluating current initiatives. Also, the findings may help curriculum development in organisations providing training and education for financial analysts and in planning continuous professional development programs for analysts. The paper addresses several unanswered questions on the importance of types of IC information to the capital market and the role of IC within the context of analysts' valuation decision-making processes.

The role of gender in determining season-ticket holder satisfaction

Year: 2024

description: As professional sports seek to grow their fan base, the motives and behaviours of female sport fans are worth examining. Women are typically under-represented in the fan bases of most professional sports and particularly in the season-ticket holder (STH) ranks. In order to understand more about what attracts and retains female STH, and to identify any gender based differences, we examine the STH base of a professional football (soccer) club and compare male and female STH on a range of behavioural and attitudinal dimensions. Women made up only 11% of this clubs STH, and we find significant differences between genders in motives for joining, satisfaction and what drives it, loyalty and consumption. Accordingly, the marketing of season tickets to women may need to be adapted to cater for these differences.
Profiling the sport consumption attitudes and behaviours of fantasy football players

Year: 2024

description: Most sporting codes encourage participation in Fantasy Sport (FS), despite few making direct revenue from it. There is a lack of empirical evidence whether this is good practice, for although FS can increase involvement and education, it may also compete with other forms of sport consumption for consumers limited resources. This study begins to address whether FS competes with or complements sport consumption by comparing FS players with nonplayers. Data was collected from surveys (n=182) of AFL fans, with findings indicating FS players had higher tested measures of attitudes (e.g., team identification, commitment) and behaviours (e.g., game attendance, television viewing) related to the sport. What remains to be determined is causality, and suggestions on how to examine this are given.
ESSENTIAL APPROACHES TO TEACHING WRITING IN ESL

description: Teaching and learning writing in ESL classrooms are demanding. Researchers develop various theories to assist the learners and teachers because in ESL students have to cope with language proficiency and the process of writing. Theories are crucial for the teachers to know and understand the theories in teaching writing because it will allow the teachers “to implement research-based practices better”. Writing is a thinking process. To write, a writer needs to use the mental process such as brainstorming, planning and organizing and it needs creativity. Therefore, cognitive wring process aims to teach students to use mental processing in producing a piece of writing. It is a popular than other writing theories as it has many benefits. This theory was introduced by Flower and Hayes (1981, p.366) “through observations of students’ writing and made effort to “introduce theory of cognitive processes involved in composing and to lay groundwork for more detailed study of thinking processes in writing”[1]. The four elements highlighted by Flower and Hayes in this theory are “Writers have to go through a process of thinking before writing, a higher-order organizational structure takes place during these procedures, composing involves setting objectives, and authors generate macro and micro objectives to finish the writing task (Flower & Hayes 1981, p.366). In short it focuses exclusively on the mental writing process.
Mobile phone marketing: challenges and perceived attitudes

description: The global mobile phone market is fast-growing due to advancements in third-generation technologies. Given their high penetration rate, mobile phones are emerging as a significant marketing medium in that they allow for direct interaction with consumers anytime, anywhere. This conceptual paper makes an important contribution by adding to current understanding of this new field. The research objective was to identify the critical issues faced by mobile phone marketers and the key factors that influence consumer attitudes. The key drivers of consumer attitudes toward mobile marketing are posited as perceived entertainment, credibility, reward, technological familiarity, and message frequency. Consumer shopping orientation is posited to act as a mediator, and age, gender and education also have an influence. The authors are currently undertaking an empirical study to verify these propositions, the results of which will be presented at the conference.

description: The rapid rise of social media has captured the attention of marketers and consumers on a global scale, and together with a rapidly changing communications environment marketers now confront new challenges in terms of our understanding of consumer behaviour and consumption patterns in the new millennium. Social media brings with it powerful opportunities for brands to engage with consumers, one method being through interactive advertising. To broaden our understanding and assist in managing marketing communications effectively, this exploratory research investigates the role of social media within the broader advertising and communications mix. Qualitative focus groups were conducted with consumers to assess perceptions and attitudes towards social media advertising, and preferences for brand engagement through this channel. Findings suggest that use of social media advertising in a multichannel communications approach could have powerful impact on brand loyalty and engagement.

description: Le mariage est l'institution par laquelle un homme et une femme s'unisse pour vivre ensemble et fonder une familleL’ancien article 143 du code civil a depuis pourtant bien évolué, notamment par la loi 2013-404 du 17 mai 2013 dite « loi Taubira » instaurant le mariage pour les couples de même sexe. Néanmoins même cette nouvelle définition pourrait à nouveau évoluer. Non pas forcément à cause des nouvelles problématiques de genres pour sur sa restriction à la monogamie. En effet, le nouvel article 143 dispose « le mariage est contracté par deux personnes de sexe différent ou de même sexe ». Mais cette citation du Code civil français maintien la conception traditionnelle du mariage en France reposant sur la monogamie. Pourtant des formes d’unions libres existent de fait et se développent : du polyamour à la polygamie en passant par le libertinage. Les milieux progressistes prônant la liberté sexuelle semblent alors même s’accorder avec les milieux religieux plus conservateurs tels que les musulmans ou les mormons sur la nécessité de dépasser le verrou légal monogame du mariage.Si la loi française interdit clairement la polygamie, des formes de reconnaissance en pratique sont observables, notamment dans le contexte des aides sociales et dans la reconnaissance des mariages polygames étrangers. Ce paradoxe de coexistence d'une interdiction formelle et d'une reconnaissance pragmatique soulève des questions essentielles sur la cohérence de la législation française et son adaptation aux réalités sociales.En outre, en tenant compte des évolutions des normes familiales, portant une réflexion juridique sur l'avenir de la conception du mariage en France à l’aune du développement de la polygamie…

description: Multichannel retailing increasingly involves consumers searching for information online and then choosing to buy products from a variety of channel options. The Internet will continue to have a major impact on consumer information search behaviour, however little is known about the relationship between online search behaviour and purchase channel choice. In this article, we consider the drivers of this relationship through an investigation of the utilitarian and hedonic shopping values of Internet users and present a conceptual model to represent these relationships. This paper contributes to our understanding of multichannel buying behaviour and provides considerations for online media suppliers and media buyers.

description: Major restructuring of ICT degrees at Massey University, Auckland required the Information Technology (IT) Discipline Group to develop a first year foundation course for the newly formed IT major. Introductory IT courses are traditionally seen as difficult courses to deliver: they must be broad ranging both in content and target audience yet need to effectively deliver technical content. A further challenge in delivering such courses is meeting individual needs in large classes and effectively preparing students for second year study. This is against a background of a cohort increasingly wired into social networking, virtual environments and mobile multimedia. We use an action research approach to explore the development of an interactive foundation course that encourages student participation in tutorials, covers an appropriate practical component, and meets the demands of the tertiary sector for more exciting and innovative course delivery. The course was first delivered over summer school 2007 and feedback from students and staff collected. We examine the effect of the different delivery methods (online quizzes, flash animation, practical labs and discussions) on attendance and assignment quality. We further discuss the adjustments we have made for internal delivery and preparation for future delivery of the course in extramural mode. This reflective approach enables us to continue developing the course to engage students and to provide the foundation for second and third year IT courses. We have also attracted considerable interest from staff and students from other Colleges who find the approach compatible with their needs for a basic understanding of current information technology.

Apprentices and trainees may be considered vulnerable targets of bullying and harassment because of their age, inexperience and hierarchical status. Despite a plethora of media reports and anecdotal evidence of apprentices and trainees as targets of workplace bullying, very few empirical studies have been conducted on this sample of employees. In addition to reviewing the existing international literature, the authors highlight the importance of further empirical research on the bullying and harassment of apprentices and trainees.

description: The Australian Government's Standard Business Reporting project announced in August 2006, which aims to reduce the regulatory burden on business, has shone a spotlight on XBRL. This information technology facilitation tool has prominence internationally but has been slow to develop in Australia. In Japan, Singapore and China, regulatory agencies have mandated business reporting to government using XBRL, with the USA, Netherlands and UK (and others) planning to move to compulsory XBRL filings (from the current voluntary position) in the next few years. The momentum in XBRL developments is rising with the need for the Australian business, academic, professional and public sector communities to now increase its appreciation and understanding of the impacts and implications of this new mechanism for increasing information functionality.

description: The world is populated with complex artifacts, i.e., purposefully designed complex systems encompassing both technology and human actors. Identifying the root cause of their failures challenges the limits of managers’ comprehension, and impedes efficient contracting. In response, managers adopt a reductionist approach predicated on the assumption that complex technical systems can be effectively decomposed, i.e., partitioned according to the systems architecture. To evaluate the validity of the assumption of such partitioning for these complex technical systems, I consider locomotive engine failures. These locomotive engines are complex technical systems, and I find they are not decomposable. To facilitate more efficient contracting for these complex technical systems, I suggest that contracts be aligned to identified boundaries of decomposability. Because some complex technical systems are not decomposable, managers are sometimes unable to identify definitively the root causes for failures of these systems. When mangers are unable to identify the root causes of failure, there is a high likelihood of disagreement between transacting parties. Managers that default to invoking opportunism to explain ill-understood failures of complex technical systems, and enforce the letter of the contract, are likely to cause contract termination. Because failures of complex technical systems can cause catastrophic damage, the interests of transacting to mitigate failure is posited to be a shared goal. To attenuate the contracting problem that arises due to the inability of mangers to identify the root causes of artifact failures, I develop a framework that addresses managers’ contractual choices to coordinate better high-reliability artifacts. I submit that aligning decision rights with expertise, contracts that empower those with greater local knowledge, and unanticipated outcomes in the technical system that receive subsequent managerial attention can lower the likelihood of artifact failures occurring due to contracting and technical reasons.
Earnings management around a change of goodwill rule

description: The adoption of AASB 3 Business Combinations when Australia transitioned to International Financial Reporting Standards from 1 January 2005, changed the accounting for goodwill. The new goodwill rule, requiring impairment testing of goodwill rather than its systematic amortisation, may affect earnings henceforth. Our investigations show that on average, goodwill firms’ net revenue growth in the adoption year is significantly lower than the pre-adoption year. However, on average, return on assets (ROA) in the adoption year is higher than the pre-adoption year. Our findings show that managers of most goodwill firms manage earnings upwardly, in particular, using discretionary long-term accruals, and/or by not recording goodwill impairment loss, particularly at the mandatory adoption time. Of the goodwill firms, 82.5% did not record impairment loss on adoption. We find also that the magnitude of income decreasing discretionary long-term accruals of impairment goodwill firms is larger than for non-impairment goodwill firms. One plausible explanation is that some impairment goodwill firms use the new goodwill rule to take ‘big bath’ charges by managing earnings downwardly. These findings are important since extant studies assume that managers are unlikely to use discretionary long-term accruals to manage earnings (Guenther, 1994; Teoh et al., 1998, 1998a and 1998b).

description: In this paper we present preliminary spectroscopic results from a small-area faint K-excess (KX) survey, and compare KX selection against UVX selection. The aim of the KX method is to produce complete samples of QSOs that are flux-limited in the K band, in order to minimize any selection bias in samples of QSOs from the effects of reddening and extinction. Using the photometric catalogue of the ESO Imaging Survey Chandra Deep Field South (48 arcmin2) we have identified compact objects with J - K colours redder than the stellar sequence that are brighter than K = 19.5. We have obtained spectra of 33 candidates, using the LDSS + + spectrograph on the Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT). Amongst the 11 bluer candidates, with V - J < 3, three are confirmed as QSOs. Identification of the 22 redder candidates with V - J ≥ 3 is substantially incomplete, but so far no reddened QSOs have been found. Near-infrared spectroscopy will be more effective in identifying some of these targets. Only two UVX (U - B < -0.2) sources brighter than K = 19.5 are found that are not also KX selected. These are both identified as galactic stars. Thus KX selection appears to select all UVX QSOs. The surface density of QSOs in the blue subsample (V - J < 3) at K ≤ 19.5 is 325+316-177 deg-2. Because identification of the red subsample (V - J ≥ 3) is substantially incomplete, the 2σ upper limit on the density of reddened QSOs is large, <1150 deg-2. As anticipated, at these faint magnitudes the KX sample includes several compact galaxies. Of the 14 with measured redshifts, there are roughly equal numbers of early- and late-type objects. Nearly all the early-type galaxies are found in a single structure at z = 0.66.
What impact has WorkChoices had on the wages, working conditions, working lives and well-being of Victorian non-union members?

description: This paper reports on the outcomes of survey research conducted between March-September 2007 into the experiences of 554 workers and jobseekers after the introduction of the WorkChoices legislative amendments. The sample was drawn from a Victoria-wide data base of approximately 12,000 callers to a community legal advice centre, JobWatch Inc. Survey data were supplemented with qualitative data from 30 focus group participants in Melbourne and a regional centre. Over a quarter of survey respondents had experienced a change in their employment arrangements, with a significant shift towards more individualised arrangements. Within this, there were some pay and conditions changes, with base pay rates increasing and working hours also generally increasing. However, the most significant findings relate to a heightened sense of job insecurity, fear of speaking up at work and general dissatisfaction with work culture and WorkChoices. There were strong indications that workers now had less choice in their working arrangements, and any employment changes had largely been driven by employers or the labour market environment.
Monitoring international interest in transnational academic mobility to Australia: a mixed-method approach
Creators: name: Hopkins, John
Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: In a recent study, the issue of transnational academic mobility of academic staff, considering moves to higher education institutions in Australia, was examined using a web-based portal that attracted interested parties from around the world with information about Australian academic career opportunities. Web analytics were used as the research mechanism for generating quantitative data that identified the regions of the world from where most interest was being generated. Passive observations were made, leading to commentary on the regions of particular interest, the effectiveness of web analytics as a research tool, and the strengths and limitations of such an experiment. Whilst this study highlighted some interesting trends there were a number of inherent limitations. To build on these findings, and to overcome the original experiment's limitations, an online questionnaire was introduced to extract additional quantitative and qualitative demographic data. In utilising this mixed-method approach, a more detailed profile of those interested in transnational academic mobility to Australia, has been developed. A number of interesting new findings emerged about the characteristics of those looking at academic careers in Australia, and a more detailed depiction of the transnational nature, and multicultural make up, of the academic profession has been realised.

The politics of digital distribution: exclusionary structures in online cinema
Creators: name: Lobato, Ramon
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The hype around digital film distribution is now at fever pitch, with promises of a brave new world of instant delivery, unfettered consumer choice and new revenue streams for film-makers. Surveying the current array of commercial online video-on-demand (VOD) services, this article offers some critical reflections on these emerging circulatory models. The focus is on power relations within the online VOD industry and on issues of audience access and equity. The article argues that distribution should be a key concern for contemporary film researchers, given the power of distributors to determine the range of films available to viewers and the conditions under which they are accessible. While the 'democratizing' potential of online distribution may be appealing, it is important to recognize that digital delivery infrastructures may not result in any real diversification of film culture, that much of the Australian audience will be excluded from their reach and that the vast majority of online film consumption will continue to take place in the extralegal realm.
