Power and employment relationship in victorian local government: responses from Gippsland senior officers
Creators: name: Pullin, Len
name: Haidar, Ali
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This paper considers the notion of the employment relationship (ER) and adopts the perspective that it is essentially a power relationship. It takes the view that identifying where the locus of power is situated in an ER is central to developing an understanding of its nature. Focussing on power in the relationship, it identifies two 'ideal types' of ER. Victorian local government employment statutes and responses from local government senior officers in Gippsland are then examined, explored and analysed in the context of these 'ideal types'. Concluding remarks consider the utility and contribution of this approach.

Building the learning organization - the practical steps
Creators: name: Haslett, Tim
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This paper outlines those fundamental tenets of systems thinking that need to be understood for an organization to be able to move towards being a "learning organization". This process occurs in two stages. Firstly with the mastery of the intellectual technology of Systems Thinking and secondly with the mastery of the computer technology. These two stages represent and require significant development in the sophistication of organizational thinking. An example of the application of Senge's archetypes to this learning is described. A brief overview of the computer technology and its link to causal loop diagrams is provided. A methodology for the development of a learning organization is then outlined and three models for implementation are discussed and evaluated.

description: The paper examines 'best practice' implementation of Total Quality Management (TQM) in eight Australian manufacturing and service organizations. Multiple cross-case analysis is used to synthesize the information obtained from the case studies. The insights gained from the case studies are used to discuss the critical success factors that characterise Australian quality organisations and the essential steps in implementing TQM. Leadership and quality-based vision of world class performance has emerged as major factors that underpin best practice in TQM implementation. Participation by employees and unions in the development of an organization's vision was seen as critical in gaining high level commitment to the organization's goals. Other critical success factors include: the identification of customer expectations and measurement of perceptions; clearly defined, and agreed to by all, strategy for implementation; establishment of a formal structure for controlling, monitoring and reporting improvement initiatives; implementation of cross-functional improvement teams and natural work teams; and the implementation of a formal quality assurance system. In the majority of cases we found that implementation of TQM was a difficult process that required on-going commitment from the 'top floor' and the 'shop floor.'
Valid Bayesian estimation of the cointegrating error correction model
Creators: name: Strachan, Rodney W

description: Two methods of identifying cointegrating vectors are commonly used linear restrictions and the nonlinear method of Johansen's maximum likelihood procedure. That the linear method can produce invalid estimates while the Johansen approach always produces valid estimates has been recognised in several recent articles. As all Bayesian studies to date have used linear restrictions, this article presents a Bayesian method for obtaining estimates of cointegrating vectors that will always be valid.
Estimating Long-term Trends in Tropospheric Ozone Levels

description: This paper estimates the long-term trends in the daily maxima of tropospheric ozone at six sites around the state of Texas. The statistical methodology we use controls for the effects of meteorological variables because it is known that variables such as temperature, wind speed and humidity substantially affect the formation of tropospheric ozone. A nonparametric regression model is estimated in which a general trivariate surface is used to model the relationship between ozone and these meteorological variables because there is little, or no, theory to specify the functional dependence of ozone on these variables. The model also allows for the effects of wind direction and seasonality. Each function in the model is represented as a linear combination of basis functions located at all of the design points. A trivariate basis is used for the function representing the combined effect of temperature, wind speed and humidity, while univariate bases are used to represent the other functions in the model. To estimate the functions nonparametrically we use a Bayesian hierarchical framework with a fractional prior. Due to the high dimensional representation of the signal, a Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling scheme employing Gibbs sub-chains that 'focus' on the basis terms that are most likely to contribute to the signal is used to carry out the computations. We also estimate an appropriate data transformation simultaneously with the function estimates. The empirical results indicate that key meteorological variables explain most of the variation in daily ozone maxima through a nonlinear interaction and that their effects are consistent across the six sites. However, the estimated trends vary considerably from site to site, even within the same city. A simulation based on the design of the data indicates that the Bayesian approach is substantially more efficient than MARS (Friedman, 1991).

Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Objective: To describe the current treatment patterns for external genital warts employed by Australian doctors in 1997. Methods: Information regarding treatment modalities employed, maximum number of visits for each treatment type and referral patterns was obtained from a postal survey of general practitioners (GPs) and a telephone survey of sexual health clinic doctors across Australia. Results: Cryotherapy is the most common first line topical therapy employed by GPs for the treatment of external genital warts for both males (51%) and females (41%). The second most common treatment modality employed is podophyllin (29% and 33% respectively). Podophyllotoxin is not used extensively by GPs in either male (5%) or female (6%) patients. `Other therapies' are rarely used as first line therapy (3-5%). Cryotherapy and podophyllin involve at most, 3 to 4 visits to the clinic, although podophyllin requires on average 0.6 of a visit more than cryotherapy. Podophyllotoxin requires on average 2 to 3 visits, substantially less than podophyllin (p<0.05). In sexual health clinics, cryotherapy is the most common first and second line treatment employed for the management of external genital warts in both males (63% and 44% respectively) and females (53% and 51% respectively). Unlike GPs, sexual health clinic doctors use podophyllotoxin much more frequently both as first and second line treatments in both male and female patients. Referrals are made much less commonly representing only 3% of first line therapy and 6-11% of second line therapy selected. Discussion: Cryotherapy and topical podophyllin represent the vast bulk of first-line treatments in Australia for genital warts particularly in the General Practice sector. Podophyllotoxin certainly plays a bigger part in the treatment practices in the STD clinics particularly in the management of persistent warts. More aggressive therapies are uncommonly employed in either sectors.

description: Создание жировых продуктов нового поколения функционального и специализированного назначения, безопасных в употреблении, для масложировой промышленности является одним из перспективных направлений инновационного развития пищевой промышленности. Для составления новых научно обоснованных купажей растительных масел используют методы математического моделирования при подборе их композиционного состава. Целью работы являлась разработка комплексного подхода к созданию рецептур купажей растительных масел, оптимизированных по составу полиненасыщенных жирных кислот для здорового и лечебно-профилактического питания, в частности с заданным соотношением омега-6 / омега-3=5 / 1 полиненасыщенных жирных кислот с использованием метода полного перебора (brute force). В результате проведенного исследования обоснован выбор потенциальных ингредиентов купажей растительных масел, спроектированы композиции растительных масел заданного качества, состава и свойств. Для этого разработаны математические модели проектируемых купажей с учетом комплекса критериев и ограничений. В качестве целевой функции был взят критерий отношения омега-6 к омега-3. Одним из главных ограничений в решаемой задаче был уровень максимальной концентрации ингредиентов, чтобы в получаемом купаже ни один из растительных компонентов не превалировал над другими и, соответственно, не мог отрицательно воздействовать на органолептические свойства готовой композиции. В результате работы автоматизированной системы научных исследований было сгенерировано около 300 купажей растительных масел. С учетом органолептических требований отобраны три альтернативных варианта композиции купажа с соотношением омега-6:омега-3 в первом и втором варианте 5:1, а в третьем - 10:1, что делает возможным их применение для здорового и лечебно-профилактического питания.

description: As both a vibrant industry and necessity for people’s lives, housing has attracted much attention in recent years. This article examines the efficacy of both loosening and tightening policies on mortgage lending in different priced housing markets in Shanghai, China, from 2014 to 2018 using daily average sale prices across 1,824 neighborhoods, with price-classified cluster analysis and policy-informed hedonic regressions. The results show that (1) the effects of mortgage lending policy interventions varied significantly and the overall spatial distribution gravitated toward subway networks and varied throughout the years; (2) the effects of interventions were time lagged but varied by different priced neighborhoods; and (3) although the accumulated number of both loosening and tightening policies were both significant, only the effects of tightening policies were significant overall. This article contributes to the existing literature by combining the spatial-temporal component in policy studies, providing detailed mortgage lending policy intervention variables, and expanding the scope of study from housing prices to housing transaction frequencies.

description: Under-used and never-implemented information systems represent wasted investment. This paper proposes a new model – the Information Systems Acceptance (ISA) model - to explain and predict information systems (IS) acceptance. The ISA model integrates three sets of factors influencing IS acceptance: software characteristics; implementation processes; and system use, user satisfaction and system outcomes. These sets of factors are drawn from well-established frameworks: Rogers' (1995) Diffusion of Innovations (DOI), Land's (1994) Guidelines for Successful Implementation of Information Systems, and DeLone and McLean's (2003) Model of Information Systems Success (ISS). By building on established theories, the ISA model incorporates and organises previous research, overcomes some of the limitations associated with these individual theories, and assembles IS acceptance factors into a comprehensive, understandable and useable conceptual framework. The ISA model gives managers a tool to evaluate and predict the likely success of an IS, and acts as a diagnostic aid in preventing potential problems. We demonstrate the ISA model by using it to explain acceptance levels of a quality systems software application implemented in ten organisations.
Sugar Industry Reform in Fiji, Production Decline and its Economic Consequences

description: In this paper we revisit the Fiji sugar industry with a fresh mandate. The century old industry, widely perceived as the backbone of the Fijian economy, is on the verge of collapse. Recognising this, the Fiji government and the Asian Development Bank have concocted a reform plan, envisaged to bail-out the ailing sugar industry. We concur with the reform plan but demur with the claim that sugar production will not be affected. We espouse the views of the Fiji Sugar Cane Growers Council, that given the non-renewal of sugar cane land leases, sugar production will fall by around 25-30 percent over the next three years. We use the Fiji computable general equilibrium model to simulate the economy-wide impact of a 30 percent reduction in sugar productivity. Amongst our key results we find that Fiji's gross domestic product will fall by around 1.8 percent and real welfare will decline by some 1.5 percent. We draw several policy implications from our empirical results.
The Influence of Personal Values on Organisational Choice

description: The role of self identity and personal values in organisational choice was investigated. Results obtained from the Australian National Social Science Survey 1988 (NSSS), as well as from interviewing 26 lawyers and public relations officers from two types of organisations (corporate and community) supported the hypothesis that individuals select to work in organisations that complement their personal values. Firstly, a correspondence analysis revealed that individuals who had a right wing "capitalist" perspective were more likely to be employed in private organisations, whereas individuals with a left wing "socialist" perspective tended to be employed in government institutions. Furthermore, the interviews showed that organisational choice was a subjective process whereby individuals attempted to match their personal values with that of the employing organisation. Although objective job factors were shown to influence choice, the ability to implement one's self identity and personal values underlined the individual's organisational selection behaviour.
Union satisfaction: An australian perspective

Publisher: name: Monash University

description: Against a backdrop of union amalgamations and declining union density, this paper explores discrete elements of (dis) satisfaction that Australian unionists' have with aspects of their union's performance. Previous studies into union satisfaction [principally from the U.S. and Sweden], have focused on two major categories of independent union satisfaction variables: relationship and 'bread and butter' issues. The existing explanations of union satisfaction suggest that most importantly, a union's somewhat intangible resources of time, patience, and availability may be the key to a member's satisfaction with union representation. And, and important, but less so, are members' satisfaction with traditional union 'bread and butter' issues. The findings of this paper concur that relationship issues are quite important in accounting for union satisfaction, but not so for 'bread and butter issues'. From an Australian perspective, it appears that other variables such union performance at an individual workplace, as well as the provision of better union services post-amalgamation best explain the union-member satisfaction conundrum.

Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: GEMPACK is a suite of general-purpose economic modelling software especially suitable for general and partial equilibrium models. It can handle a wide range of economic behaviour and also contains a versatile method for solving intertemporal models. GEMPACK provides software for calculating accurate solutions of an economic model, starting from an algebraic representation of the equations of the model. These equations can be written as levels equations, linearized equations or a mixture of these two. The software provides a range of utility programs for handling the economic data base and the results of simulations, and is fully documented from a user's point of view. GEMPACK is used to implement and solve a number of economic models including several single-country models (of which the ORANI model of Australia is perhaps the best known), multi-country trade models, regional models and intertemporal (or dynamic) models. GEMPACK runs on a wide variety of computers including 80386/80486 microcomputers running DOS, Windows or OS/2, Apple Macintosh computers, Unix machines, DEC VAX and Alpha machines running VMS. This paper gives an overview of the current release of GEMPACK (Release 5.1, April 1994). Included are descriptions of the algebra-like language used to describe and document the equations of an economic model, the operation of the pre-processor TABLO which converts the equations of the model to a form suitable for computing solutions of the model, the solution methods used for producing accurate solutions of the model, the facilities for specifying and carrying out simulations, including the options for varying the choice of endogenous and exogenous variables and the variables shocked, the condensation facility which makes it possible to solve very large models, the utility programs for assisting in managing the data bases on which models are based, the different versions of GEMPACK.

Insourcing, Outsourcing and Service Level Management
Creators: name: Beaumont, Nicholas
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This paper describes the concept of Service Level Management (SLM), reviews the scant literature and discusses the negotiation, implementation and monitoring of outsourcing agreements. The SLM concept originated in the context of computer services distributed to users through networks (e.g. banking though automatic telling machines). In this and similar situations the SLM methodology was used to help management balance the quality (exemplified "up time and response times) and the cost of the service. We argue that the SLM methodology should be applied outside the Information Technology discipline and extended in scope to the management of all phases of any outsourcing or insourcing project. Outsourcing is becoming a routine business technique in which responsibility for an activity formerly performed in-house is transferred to an outside supplier. It is appropriate to recognize insourcing, in which an organisational unit formally contracts to supply goods or services to another unit of the organization. Australian businesses have now had appreciable experience of outsourcing and are considering issues that were neglected when the first outsourcing agreements were being negotiated. An emerging view is that both parties should co-operate in improving the client's business processes and share the benefits. Executives are considering what to do when an outsourcing project terminates: under what conditions should contracts be renewed, how should they be modified and how can clients be sure that the prices charged are reasonable?

description: The decision to adopt Environmental Management System (EMS) and to develop effective implementation strategies has engrossed managers at all levels and in all types of organisations in recent years. Some organisations have claimed that environmental issues have been determining their bottom-line and business performance in the market place. This paper is first part in the series focussing on the reasons for EMS implementation and the benefits and impediments associated with the process. Measures commonly practised by organisations to overcome/address the impediments are also presented in this paper. The findings of this paper are based on a questionnaire survey mailed to Australasian organisations on their experiences with ISO 14001 implementation and certification.

description: The segmentation problem arises in many applications in data mining, A.I. and statistics. In this paper, we consider segmenting simple time series. We develop two Bayesian approaches for segmenting a time series, namely the Bayes Factor approach, and the Minimum Message Length (MML) approach. We perform simulations comparing these Bayesian approaches, and then perform a comparison with other classical approaches, namely AIC, MDL and BIC. We conclude that the MML criterion is the preferred criterion. We then apply the segmentation method to financial time series data.

Why Do Governments Encourage Improvements in Infrastructure? Indirect Network Externality of Transaction Efficiency

description: Governments have been very active in engaging in and in encouraging the improvements in transaction efficiency, including the provision of legal, social, and economic infrastructures. While this may partly be explained by the public goods nature, the presence of indirect network externalities due to the economies of specialization may also be important. The improvement in transaction (including communication and transportation) efficiency may generate benefits in excess of the direct private benefits through the promotion of higher degree of specialization. This is shown in the Yang-Ng framework of inframarginal analysis.
Long Term Hedging of the Australian All Ordinaries Index Using a Bivariate Error Correction FIGARCH Model
Creators: name: Dark, Jonathan
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This article compares the performance of bivariate error correction GARCH and FIGARCH models when estimating long term dynamic minimum variance hedge ratios (MVHRs) on the Australian All Ordinaries Index. The paper therefore introduces the bivariate error correction FIGARCH model into the hedging literature, which to date has only employed the GARCH class of processes. This is important for those interested in managing long term equity exposures, given that FIGARCH processes exhibit long memory, whilst the GARCH class of processes exhibit short memory. The naïve hedge ratio, the constant MVHR estimated via ordinary least squares (the OLS MVHR), the single period dynamic MVHR and the multi-period dynamic MVHR of Lee (1999) are considered. The results strongly support the estimation of dynamic MVHRs that allow for time varying correlations. Whilst long memory dependencies appear important, a multi-period dynamic MVHR that responds more rapidly to persistent changes in volatility dynamics requires development.

description: There is growing interest in Australia and overseas in the incorporation of economic evaluations alongside randomised clinical trials of new versus existing pharmaceutical products. The most common use of data resulting from such trials will be for the purpose of industry gaining listing under the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) for specific drugs. Other uses of data include: applications for hospital formulary listing; post-marketing support for price justification; and publication of study findings in academic journals. When designing a clinical trial with an economic component a number of considerations need to be taken into account. These include: from whose perspective are the costs and outcomes to be measured (eg. societal, governmental, personal); which costs are to be included (eg. treatment, complications, retreatment, disease sequelae, indirect costs); the choice of outcome measures (short, intermediate or long-term outcomes); the appropriate duration of the trial necessary to measure the important costs and key outcomes. Decisions about each of the above can have a significant influence on study design. A multi-disciplinary approach is required to ensure appropriate study design. Direct input from clinician investigators, clinical research associates, economists, marketing personnel and statisticians is important at the early stages of protocol development. This is necessary to ensure an appropriate trial design, and to minimise the potential for key data not being collected alongside the trial.
On international assignment: is expatriation the only way to go?
Creators: name: Fenwick, Marilyn
Publisher: name: Monash University

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This research explored variations to traditional international assignment. Interviews with expert informants and a survey of 43 human resource managers investigated whether or not four categories of international assignment identified in a recent European survey are occurring in Australian-based multinational enterprises (MNEs). The findings presented are illuminating, but not generalisable. It seems that within this group, a portfolio of international assignment options, in addition to expatriation, is increasingly being offered and undertaken in the Australian respondents to this study. Implications these variations present for international assignment management are presented as an agenda for future research.
Artifact for Analysing installation scenarios of Debian Packages

description: This is the artifact presented with the article "Analysing installation scenarios of Debian Packages". This article has been accepted at TACAS 2020 and the artifact passed the artifact evaluation. The artifact contains mostly software developped during the CoLiS (Correctness of Linux Scripts) ANR project. This software can be found at the address https://github.com/colis-anr/. The archive also contains a dataset extracted from Debian's repositories, and a README. The abstract of the article follows. The Debian distribution includes more than 28 thousand maintainer scripts, almost all of them are written in Posix shell. These scripts are executed with root privileges at installation, update, and removal of a package, which make them critical for system maintenance. While Debian policy provides guidance for package maintainers producing the scripts, few tools exist to check the compliance of a script to it. We report on the application of a formal verification approach based on symbolic execution to find violations of some non-trivial properties required by Debian policy in maintainer scripts. We present our methodology and give an overview of our toolchain. We obtained promising results: our toolchain is effective in analysing a large set of Debian maintainer scripts and it pointed out over 150 policy violations that lead to reports (more than half already fixed) on the Debian Bug Tracking system.

description: The study we aim to replicate finds that in strategic interactions a player is influenced by self-similarity. Therefore we analyse the actions and the reported beliefs of materialistic players in a two-player two-action symmetric game. If the reported beliefs are positively correlated with the action it constitutes evidence for the presence of self-similarity.

description: To investigate the effects of ablation time and distance between the radiofrequency ablation (RFA) electrode tip and a large vessel on the ablation zone in beagle livers. Sixty-one percutaneous RFA coagulation zones were created near large vessels in 10 beagle livers in vivo. The ablated lesions were divided into four groups based on ablation time and distance between the electrode tip and a large vessel (group A, 3 min 0.5 cm; group B, 3 min 0 cm; group C, 5 min 0.5 cm; group D, 5 min 0 cm). The ablated area, long-axis diameters, short-axis diameters, and vessel wall injury were examined. With a fixed ablation time, the ablation zone created with the electrode tip at 0.5 cm from the large vessel was significantly larger than at 0 cm (p < .05). At a fixed distance between the electrode tip and vessel, the ablation zone created for 5 min was significantly larger than for 3 min (p < .05). The frequency of vessel wall injury in the 0 cm groups was significantly higher than that in the 0.5 cm groups (37.5% vs. 6.9%; p = .003, odds ratio, 7.43). The ratio of width to depth (Dw/Dz) was larger in the 0.5 cm groups than in the 0 cm groups (p < .001). The ablation zone increased with longer ablation times and greater distances between the RFA tip and large vessels for perivascular lesions. The distance between the needle tip and blood vessels is an important factor that affects the overall ablation outcome.
The extent of the market, capital, communication technology and economic growth: The case of China 1952-1998

description: The implications of the division of labor, capital and technology for economic growth have long been a fundamental issue in development economics. This paper employs the error correction mechanism for cointegration to examine the relationship between the extent of the market, capital accumulation, communication technology and economic growth for China for the period 1952-1998. We find that both in the short-run and long-run, capital stock, the extent of the market and investment all have statistically significant positive effect on growth, while telecoimunication technology, seemingly a bit surprising, has a statistically insignificant impact on growth. We also examine the cointegration between division of labor, capital and communication technology and find no evidence of a long run relationship among these variables. Our empirical analysis lends support to the thesis that technology and capital accumulation maybe overshadowed by institutions in determining division of labor and the long run economic growth.

An Analysis of the Cross-cultural Transferability of Western Motivation Theories to the Developing Eastern, China Region
Creators: name: Townsend, Peter

Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: With the increasing globalisation of complex organisations, the need to understand cross-cultural issues and the gap betweeen theory and practice is crucial to organisational effectiveness. This research examines the question of the extent to which western motivation theories can be successfully transferred to other regions, and the extent to which the relevance and organisational utility of management education is constrained by cultural variables. The majority of academic theories about organisational effectiveness have their findings based on empirical data from U.S. and European cultures, usually during the last fifty years. In contrast, significant practical management and organisational activity now occurs in Asian, Chinese cultures. Changing both the historical and geographic assumptions and interactions of research may negate the value of accepted management theories. More specifically, academics and researchers have attempted to provide the relevant data for management theories about the relationships between organisational strategy, structure and behaviour, and between structure and culture: essentially stating that "alignment" is essential for improving organisational effectiveness. Data obtained from over thirty organisations in the sample demonstrates that these general theories concerning the alignment of structure and culture cannot be applied universally. Essentially, this negates the academic basis of the currently espoused management theories and restricts their general applicability. The conclusions from this research are supported by other researchers (Adler 1986; and Steers and Porter 1991), who agree that management theories, including motivation and leadership theories, are "culture bound". Organisational culture is strongly influenced by environmental factors and constraints; the cross-cultural transferability of these and other management concepts and theories is related to the degree of similarity and relative importance of these variables. The vital question for practicing managers is the extent to which these espoused management principles can be cross-culturally transferred to China. This research reviews the fundamental environmental constraints and variables from both an empirical and experience perspective. The paper concludes that management and organisational theories should be conveyed in terms subject to these constraining variables, not used as simplistic universal solutions.

description: Previous neoichnological studies with arthropods, especially arachnids, have often conducted experiments with only a small number of trackways produced in a subset of subaerial conditions. Thus, we conducted a comprehensive neoichnological study of scorpions (Hadrurus arizonensis), tarantulas (Grammostola rosea), and crayfish (Procambarus clarkii), under various moisture levels (dry, damp, wet drying, wet saturated, and subaqueous [or wading]) and horizontal, shallow, and steep slope angles. The invertebrates made a total of 473 trackway runs resulting in 489 symmetric trackway segments that were characterized and digitally measured. We analyzed the trackways using trackway parameter trend diagrams and non-metric multidimensional scaling (N-MDS) visualizations to compare trackway morphology among the sand moisture conditions. Results generally show imprints become progressively smaller, with more dotted multifid imprints going from loose to stiff sand. N-MDS showed trackway morphology overlapped among some conditions, including those with disparate water content (e.g. dry and wet saturated sand, or subaqueous and wet drying sand). Additionally, trackways consisted usually of a four-imprint series, though species- and condition-specific exceptions were found. Interestingly, the scorpions rarely dragged their metasomas, while the crayfish always dragged their tail fan except sometimes underwater. Our neoichnological photos and quantitative dataset provide a basis for future comparative ichnological studies.
