The impact of the entrepreneurial orientation on performance in Australian franchise firms
Creators: name: Nelson, Bruce

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The Australian franchise industry represents a significant employer group and is responsible for a large portion of the Australian retail and services expenditure. This paper examines the impact Lumpkin and Dess's (1996) Entrepreneurial Orientation (EO) dimensions: autonomy; innovation; risk taking; proactiveness; and competitive aggression, had on franchise firms performance. The EO dimensions were found to be dominant at the inception of each franchise firm reviewed. Over time all components diminished in importance whilst performance of the franchise continued to improve. It was found that autonomy became restricted by boards of management, innovation reduced through the introduction of proven systems, and that risk taking became "calculated" risk taking. It was also found that over time proactiveness no longer meant having to establish new markets or trends, and there was a diminished importance in the firm's propensity to competitive aggression. A paradox was present in the surveyed franchise businesses. The entrepreneurial owners strived to create independent and flexible organisations through the formation of franchise businesses, however by creating the buying, marketing and support systems necessary to run a franchise, the owners inadvertently developed bureaucratic constraints often seen in other corporate organisations.

description: This paper presents an argument for a re-orientation of research strategies in Business faculties in Australia universities based on the experience of a cohort of PhD students involved in Action Research (AR) Business faculties have a relatively low participation rate in postgraduate research. Given the highly pragmatic nature of business operations, it is argued that the traditional research methodology of hypothesis testing and data collection may not suit the needs of business as well as it would traditional science. The paper suggests a new model for research in business faculties and addresses two separate issues. The first is the supervision and management of the research project and the second is the subject of the research itself. The paper suggests a combination of AR and what is termed "traditional research".

Factors Influencing Employee Choices to Participate
Creators: name: Webber, Wendy
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Australia's economic restructuring and micro-economic reforms have generated a new wave of employee participation in organisational decision making. Employee participation is often used to introduce changes in organisations. It is also complimentary to new production strategies such as justin-time, continuous improvement, total quality management, and team-work. Central to the success of any form of voluntary employee participation program is the decision by employees to choose to join, and then continue their involvement, in a participative program. Employees do have an alternative, that is to not participate. This paper reports on recent research into the factors common to employees who choose to participate or not participate in one organisation's voluntary employee participation programs. In doing so it provides valuable insight for other organisations into the factors they may need to manage if they wish to achieve high levels of sustained participation by workers.
Is systematic downside beta risk really priced? evidence in emerging market data
Creators: name: Galagedera, Don U. A.

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Several studies advocating safety first as a major concern to investors propose downside beta risk as an alternative to the traditional systematic risk- beta. Downside measures are concerned with a subset of the data and therefore the results in the studies that consider the downside beta only may be biased. This study addresses this issue by including downside co-skewness risk in addition to the downside beta risk in the pricing model. In a sample of 27 emerging markets two-stage rolling regression analysis fail to support pricing models with downside risk measures. In a cross-sectional analysis inclusion of downside co-skewness improves model fit. When considered together, downside beta is potential and downside co-skewness is a risk to the rational investor. Even though our results are inconclusive the evidence strongly suggests a need for further investigation of co-skewness risk in pricing models that adopt a downside risk framework.
New public management in developing countries: a critical reflection

description: The significance of quality and effectiveness of governance in increasing national prosperity has been widely recognised. The experience of new public management model in developed countries in the 1980s highlights that it facilitates efficiency in the public sector. Developing countries also have introduced selected elements of new public management in the 1990s. The outcomes of these new reforms are crucial to developing countries assisting them to both capitalise on opportunities in the new economic environment and to improve the quality of their public service. However, very little research has focused on the new model in the context of developing countries. This paper will contribute to the emerging knowledge base on new public management by critically examining the model and recent public sector reforms in developing countries. It is argued that new public management provides a sound direction for these countries to introduce appropriate management practices as they adapt to the new dynamic environment. This is despite the fact that the model cannot be fully replicated as a radical reform in these countries.

description: While Australia's role as a leader in moves to e-government is widely accepted, there appear to be a number of discrepancies emerging as we move down from federal to local levels of government. Thus, while earlier papers (see 1 & 2) revealed federal and state level moves to E-Government are relatively advanced, a recent review of local government websites was less optimistic (3). The potential for e-government at the local level is particularly important, given it that it is here that the "size and geographical diversity... [which] has presented the country with particular problems of communication and travel" are generally most keenly felt (4). Also, deficiencies in the lack of functionality at the grass-roots level of local government will be a significant impediment to the larger context of aims such as the potential for 'joined-up-government' (5). This paper thus continues the research from the user perspective of these services to present results of a comparative content analysis of Australian and UK local government websites. The aim is to further investigate what the implementation of E-Government actually means in terms of the public interface and access initiatives at the regional level. The results of the analysis provide further evidence of Australia being a long way from the clear value of e-government suggested in the notion of 'joined-up-government'.
A comparative study of expatriate performance management in normative, remunerative and dual compliance contexts

description: Recent international management and strategic international human resource management literature on control in multinational enterprises has identified a role for expatriates as personal integrating mechanisms. This reflects efforts to strike the right control balance of global integration and local responsiveness, without continual need for structural realignment. In this paper, control and expatriate performance management were explored in three Australian multinational enterprises; two non-profits and one for profit. The unit of analysis was the dyadic relationship comprised of the expatriate and the multinational in the performance management operation. Organisational and individual-level implications for the feasibility of cultural control and implications for theory, research and practice conclude the paper.

description: Optical polarizers are essential components for the selection and manipulation of light polarization states in optical systems. Over the past decade, the rapid advancement of photonic technologies and devices has led to the development of a range of novel optical polarizers, opening avenues for many breakthroughs and expanding applications across diverse fields. Particularly, two dimensional (2D) materials, known for their atomic thin film structures and unique optical properties, have become attractive for implementing optical polarizers with high performance and new features that were not achievable before. This paper reviews recent progress in 2D material based optical polarizers. First, an overview of key properties of various 2D materials for realizing optical polarizers is provided. Next, the state of the art optical polarizers based on 2D materials, which are categorized into spatial light devices, fiber devices, and integrated waveguide devices, are reviewed and compared. Finally, we discuss the current challenges of this field as well as the exciting opportunities for future technological advances.

Does disaggregation affect the relationship between health care expenditure and GDP? an analysis using regime shifts

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This paper investigates the impact of policy shifts on disaggregated health expenditure-GDP relationship for Australia and the USA. In contrast to previous studies the disaggregation is at the level of type of service delivered and not at the level of source of expenditure. Our results show that the subcomponents of health expenditure exhibit different patterns of behaviour at both cointegration and unit root stages once policy shifts or structural breaks, such as the introduction of a publically funded medicare policy in the USA, are allowed in the empirical analysis. When the possibility of structural break is allowed we find a significant long run relationship between subcomponents of aggregate health expenditure and GDP that is not found when no break is considered. The underlying reasons for the occurrence of breaks and policy lessons are discussed subsequently.

description: In the aftermath of the rational expectations debate and the onslaught of the New Classical economics, some builders of macroeconometric models have begun to change some of their habits, arguably for the better. In particular, neoclassical discipline is increasingly respected in the formulation of the steady states or balanced growth solutions of the latest versions of several models (e.g., Australia's Murphy Model, and the McKibbin-Sachs Global Model). As well, the behaviour of certain variables (especially exchange rates and investment) increasingly tends to be linked to intertemporal optimization. In this paper we evaluate these innovations and illustrate the role of each, using recent simulations of the Murphy and McKibbin-Sachs models. We conclude that conditions have never been better for convergence in the two streams of economy-wide modelling.

description: Croston's method is a widely used to predict inventory demand when it is intermittent. However, it is an ad hoc method with no properly formulated underlying stochastic model. In this paper, we explore possible models underlying Croston's method and three related methods, and we show that any underlying model will be inconsistent with the properties of intermittent demand data. However, we find that the point forecasts and prediction intervals based on such underlying models may still be useful..

description: A semiparametric method is studied for estimating the dependence parameter and the joint distribution of the error term in a class of multivariate time series models when the marginal distributions of the errors are unknown. This method is a natural extension of Genest et al. (1995a) for independent and identically distributed observations. The proposed method first obtains √n-consistent estimates of the parameters of each univariate marginal time-series, and computes the corresponding residuals. These are then used to estimate the joint distribution of the multivariate error terms, which is specified using a copula. Our developments and proofs make use of, and build upon, recent elegant results of Koul and Ling (2006) and Koul (2002) for these models. The rigorous proofs provided here also lay the foundation and collect together the technical arguments that would be useful for other potential extensions of this semiparametric approach. It is shown that the proposed estimator of the dependence parameter of the multivariate error term is asymptotically normal, and a consistent estimator of its large sample variance is also given so that confidence intervals may be constructed. A large scale simulation study was carried out to compare the estimators particularly when the error distributions are unknown, which is almost always the case in practice. In this simulation study, our proposed semiparametric method performed better than the well-known parametric methods. An example on exchange rates is used to illustrate the method.

description: This paper reviews recent literature from an economic viewpoint concerning the costs and benefits of the IVF programme (in-vitro fertilization) in assisting reproduction. The problems with previous studies are highlighted, and suggestions made as to how these problems can be surmounted in future economic evaluation of the programme. The first section of the paper addresses the problem of infertility and the causes of infertility for which IVF has been offered as a treatment. The second section concerns issues of efficacy. Sections three and four detail the costs and benefits of the IVF programme, as they ideally should be presented and as they have been presented in the literature. In the final section of the paper, a suggested framework for economic evaluation is presented.

description: Die Verwendung von organometallischen Reagenzien für die Synthese von Allenen ist weit verbreitet und heutzutage sind viele Methoden für derartige Transformationen etabliert. Dazu zählt die SN2'-Substitution, die eine gut untersuchte Reaktion für die Synthese von enantiomerenreinen Allenen darstellt. Sowohl die SN2'-Substitution als auch die Cycloisomerisierung leisten einen vollständigen Chiralitätstransfer, sodass der Aufbau von Naturstoffen oder biologisch aktiven Stoffen möglich ist. In dieser Arbeit wird die Verwendung eines deuterierten Grignard-Reagenz für die Herstellung von cryptochiralen Allenen ausgenutzt. Die daraus resultierenden Eigenschaften machen die Allene zu einem interessanten Gebiet in der Chemie. Der Gebrauch von deuterierten Reagenzien ist in der pharmazeutischen und medizinischen Chemie wichtig, da dieser beispielsweise zu Aufklärung von Strukturen und Mechanismen dient. Darüber hinaus ist die Synthese von fluorierten Verbindungen ein wichtiger Bestandteil in vielen Bereichen der Industrie geworden. Ihre einzigartigen Eigenschaften eröffnen im Bereich der Grundlagenforschung den Aufbau von biologisch aktiven Molekülen. Daher war ein Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit, sowohl trifluormethylierte als auch pentafluorethylierte bzw. pentafluorphenyl-substituierte Allene enantioselektiv herzustellen.
Managing Quality Initiatives in Services: JIT Delivers but BPR Fails

description: This paper reports on initiatives whereby JIT and BPR approaches are being used with technology to improve business processes in a large public sector organisation. Initially the study pursues the benefits of reducing waste in service processes and transferring the revised processes to an electronic base. Significant gains in productivity and customer satisfaction are demonstrated. Further evaluation after 18 months indicates that benefits still exist but that they change over time. Finally, the study explores whether similar application of BPR thinking enables gains to be achieved across the wider organisation and finds that comparable benefits are not realised. Major impediments include conflict between organisational structures and strategy, and lack of direct business imperatives with respect to the changes.
An Integrative Approach to International Compensation: Meeting Emerging Challenges

description: This paper is a response to several recent developments; the emergence of SIHRM; indications that Australian organizations are entering cooperative or collaborative international arrangements with international organizations; evidence of enduring traditional models of compensation for expatriate management in Australian organizations (Arthur Andersen, 1992, 1994, 1995) and anecdotal and empirical evidence of enduring problems with international compensation management (Harvey, 1993a). As organizations move from traditional to new forms of internationalization, SIHRM policies and activities, including compensation, will need to reflect these new forms (Hendry, 1994). Are these changes occurring in Australian organizations? Existing evidence suggests SIHRM policies and activities may be lagging. The paper attempts to integrate secondary data and previous research, and represents the preliminary stage of our research agenda. The focus is on the implications of international collaborative organizational forms for compensation management. A conceptual framework is presented, which aims to facilitate understanding and application of international compensation policy and practice in the context of factors endogenous and exogenous to the MNE.

description: Based on international business theory premise that first entrants to a new market gain comparative advantages, Serbia, the latest nation to transit to a market economy, is an interesting target for foreign investors. This paper attempts to present what business people may expect in terms of governance if entering the Serbian market. Attention is paid to the building and construction industry which has significantly contributed to the economic recovery of the country destroyed by political disaster. If foreign companies know what constitutes the role of governance in improving the effectiveness of the Serbian economy, they will make quicker decisions to enter this market and consequently gain competitive advantages.

description: The number of skin warts has traditionally been cited as a means of separating species in the benthic octopod genus Graneledone, but species-level taxonomy has been problematic since the discovery of a second population. We investigated whether the distribution of skin warts can simply and reliably distinguish similar species by comparing North-east Pacific specimens of Graneledone and North-west Atlantic specimens of G. verrucosa. Two characters, the presence/absence of warts at the posterior tip of the dorsal mantle and the position of the most distal arm wart quantified by the arm sucker number, separate the species. The absence of warts from the distal arms, the third arm pair, and from the lateral web (Sector C) appears to separate these species from congeners based on literature information. Wart distribution may effectively distinguish species throughout the genus, accomplishing the necessary first step in furthering our knowledge of deep-sea biodiversity and reconstructing phylogenetic relationships.
Inter-DRG resource allocation in a prospective payment system: a stochastic kernel approach
Creators: name: Sharma, Anurag
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This paper empirically investigates the distribution dynamics of resource allocation decisions across Diagnosis Related Groups (DRGs), in a continuing Prospective Payment System (PPS) . The theoretical literature suggests a PPS could lead to moral hazard effects, where hospitals have an incentive to change the intensity of services provided to a given set of patients, a selection effect whereby hospitals have an incentive to change the severity of patients they see, and thirdly hospitals could change their market share by specialization (practice style effect). The related econometric literature has mainly focussed on the impact of PPS on average Length of Stay (LOS) concluding that the average LOS has declined post PPS. There is little literature on distribution of this decline across DRGs, in a PPS. The present paper helps fill this gap. The paper models the evolution over time of the empirical distribution of LOS across DRGs. The empirical distributions are estimated using a non parametric “stochastic kernel approach” based on Markov Chain theory. The results suggest that relative prices of DRGs are one of the determinants in resource allocation across DRGs. In addition, a reduction in the high outlier episodes indicates existence of potential selection effect even in a continuing PPS.

Why Victorians move to Queensland: An Attempt at Econometric Modelling

description: The issue of inter-regional migration as a function of regional labour market disparities is well known. It is especially important for a country such as Australia with both different and dynamic structures of regional economies, a continuing high level of external migration and a long-term trend of disparities in employment opportunities across the states and regions. The paper discusses an approach to an econometric model of inter-state migration in Australia. Internal population movement from a particular region is measured in relation to the regional level of unemployment. In contrast to previous attempts to construct such a model, inter-regional migration is explained using an essentially non-linear function of unemployment ratio(s) to compare particular regions. The other factor under consideration affecting regional labour markets in Australia is external migration. The inflow's of external migration to Australia are not homogeneously distributed across the states. However, the regional differences in immigration are mostly predetermined by certain social and demographic factors rather than by current disparities in employment opportunities. For this reason these inflows are considered as exogenous variables, which in themselves contribute to the disparities in regional labour markets.
"The nature of employee financial participation: evidence from the Australian workplace"
Creators: name: Turberville, Sarah
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: In this paper employee financial participation (EFP) is investigated in the context of the enterprise bargaining principle. It is argued that employee financial participation should be seen as a logical consequence of the decentralisation of the industrial relations system. This is the case as the rationale for enterprise bargaining has been the need for workplace reform and demand for increased productivity at the enterprise level. Employee financial participation on a collective basis can also materially afford employees opportunities to participate at a high level in the decision-making processes of an organisation. Employee financial participation will be also be assessed in the context of (strategic) human resource management (HRM). The type of business strategy and consequent HRM taxonomy will have a congruent type of EFP implemented in the workplace. The industry incidence and the "contingencies" of employee financial participation are considered. Specifically the context in which companies implementing these strategies are assessed, for example, does employee financial participation exist within the context of other innovations. The literature suggests that the implementation of an employee financial participation scheme is not an isolated event and will co-exist with other "best practice" initiatives such as team based work. Conversely, it is also possible that such strategies could exist alone and at the expense of other workplace innovations (Mathews 1994), which mirrors the archetypical human resource practices that are aligned with different types of competitive business strategies as defined by Schuler and Jackson (1987). The enterprise agreements used in this investigation draws upon agreements (EBAs) held on the Australian Centre for Industrial Relations Research and Teaching (ACIRRT) database (Agreements Database and Monitor: ADAM). From a total of 3747 state and federal agreements, it was found that 147 had an employee financial participation component (3.9%). The contents of these 147 enterprise agreements were analysed to ascertain whether there were any other "best practice" initiatives present. Further, the industries in which these strategies could be found was examined and the level of union involvement in the agreements was assessed.
Walrasian Sequential Equilibrium, Bounded Rationality, and Social Experiments
Creators: name: Yang, Xiaokai
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: In the paper, the concept of Walrasian sequential equilibrium is developed to formalize the notions of fundamental social and endogenous uncertainties and entrepreneurial discovery. It predicts that social sequential experiments with efficient as well as inefficient network patterns of division of labor can gradually acquire organization information for society as a whole. The experiment process is decentralized and based on individuals' bounded rationality. In this process, each individual never knows others' characteristics, although all players collectively learn abstract organization information carried by price signals gradually. This paper proves an existence theorem of equilibrium for a general class of well-closed Walrasian sequential equilibrium models and avoids the recursive paradox in the presence of individual bounded rationality.

description: This paper considers the long-run effects of BSE on meat consumption in the United Kingdom using data from the Expenditure and Food Survey. We estimate a dynamic AIDS demand system of household food consumption, with long-run effects captured via an adstock index of adverse media coverage. The results suggest that there are long-run impacts on meat consumption that extend well beyond the period of the scare. In addition, press articles with pictures have a greater, and more long- lasting effect, on long-run consumption than articles with words alone.

The convergence-divergence debate in the international management literature is reviewed, with particular attention to the emic-etic distinction. We suggest that complex forces for convergence and divergence are influential across multiple levels and have implications for several areas of international management, including international marketing and strategic human resource management (SHRM). We review the development of theory and research related to SHRM, and suggest that the convergence-divergence influences on SHRM are also applicable to international marketing.

description: Teaching and learning now assumes a global classroom: one which connects with teachers and learners in a variety of locations; a classroom which is virtual as well as real; a classroom which makes cultural difference familiar. With this changing complexion of the classroom and the myriad of issues confronting both teachers and students, the importance of cross-cultural communication must not be overlooked. Cross-cultural communication has been around for a long time. The challenge is to place it in the current context of globalisation and international education as it is now framed and develop new and appropriate pedagogies and curriculum.

description: New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-1 (NDM-1) as a target for the development of anti-superbug agents, plays an important role in the resistance of β-lactam antibiotics and has received worldwide attention. Sulfhydryl propionic acid derivatives can effectively inhibit the catalytic activity of NDM-1, but the quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) and inhibitor-target recognition mechanism both remain unclear. In this work, CoMFA and CoMSIA models of sulfhydryl propionic acid inhibitors with high predictive ability were obtained, from which the effect of different substituents on the inhibitory activity against NDM-1 were revealed at the molecular level. Then, two 120-nanosecond comparative molecular dynamics (MD) simulations for NDM-1 enzyme and NDM-1-inhibitor complex systems were performed to study the recognition and inhibition mechanism of sulfhydryl propionic acid derivatives. The binding of inhibitors alters the entire H-bond network of the NDM-1 system accompanied by the formation of strong interactions with I35, W93, H120, H122, D124, H189 and H250, further weakens the recognition of NDM-1 by its endogenic substrates. Finally, the results of free energy landscape and conformation cluster analyses show that NDM-1 underwent a significant conformational change after the association with sulfhydryl propionic acid inhibitors. Our findings can provide theoretical support and help for anti-superbug agents design based on the structures of NDM-1 and sulfhydryl propionic acid derivatives.

Electronic business culture ethical dilemmas

description: Electronic business is based on using computers and networks in all aspects of business. This new business concept is developing its own culture, which faces many ethical dilemmas. Electronic business culture is understood as an overall subjective employee perception of the organisation through information management support, monitoring and surveillance, and right to privacy. Electronic business organisational ethics relates to guiding beliefs, standards, or ideals about whether certain acts are good or bad in the network based business. Since electronic business is a fairly new concept, it appears that national electronic business cultures are not developed. Therefore, the code of ethics established at the global level and existence of the ShopGuide.com's search directory point to a possible way of solving e-business ethical dilemmas.
Achieving Conservation Outcomes Through Environmental Interpretation: a Case Study of Zoos Victoria

description: This paper outlines the methods and findings from phase one of a study examining the relationship between interpretation and the achievement of conservation outcomes in the context of captive wildlife attractions, with particular reference to Zoos Victoria. This study has the potential to contribute to theory construction by extending our understanding of the ways in which zoo interpretation leads to conservation outcomes. Such information is vital if zoos are to be managed as sustainable tourism/leisure sites that have the capacity to contribute to conservation. Phase One of the study examines, through a series of workshops, what is meant by terms such as 'positive action for the environment' and 'contribute to conservation', and identifies particular conservation outcomes that could be considered objectives of the education/interpretation programs at each Zoos Victoria property. Workshop responses were allocated to categories and tallied, resulting in some similarities but also some important differences across the three properties with respect to conservation outcomes that should be priorities for the zoo. The results provide some insight into the perspectives of staff and volunteers and lay the groundwork for the remainder of the study, which seeks to observe and quantify the actual conservation outcomes being achieved by zoo interpretation.

Influence Diagnostics in GARCH Processes

description: Paper not available. Full text of working paper suppressed by author. Influence diagnostics have become an important tool for statistical analysis since the seminal work by Cook (1986). In this paper we present a curvature-based diagnostic to assess local influence of minor perturbations on the modified likelihood displacement in a regression model. Using the proposed diagnostic, we study the local influence in the GARCH model under two perturbation schemes which involve, respectively, model perturbation and data perturbation. We find that the curvature-based diagnostic often provides more information on the local influence being examined than the slope-based diagnostic, especially when the GARCH model is under investigation. An empirical study involving GARCH modeling of percentage daily returns of the NYSE composite index illustrates the effectiveness of the proposed diagnostic and shows that the curvature-based diagnostic may provide information that cannot be uncovered by the slope-based diagnostic. We find that the effect or influence of each observation is not invariant across different perturbation schemes, thus it is advisable to study the local influence under different perturbation schemes through curvature-based diagnostics.

description: The environment in which an airline's Operations Control Centre exists is typically dynamic, highly pressured and intense. In Australia, airline activity is heavily concentrated between relatively close major cities, demanding rapid decision making to solve operational problems within critical timeframes. Past research into decision making cannot sufficiently explain how decisions are made in Operations Control. Research in Naturalistic Decision Making effective decision making is largely contingent on the experience of the decision maker. A pilot study was undertaken to examine the role of experience in decision making in the Operations Control Centre of a major Australian airline. An extension of this study should contribute to theory on NDM and provide practical recommendations for the recruitment, selection and training of Operations Controllers in the airline industry.
