description: Australia's role in being one of the world leaders in moves to e-government is widely acknowledged. Put simply, E-Government in Australia appears to be looking good and, logically such leadership in the use of ICT-assisted forms of governance is particularly apt. Australia is a nation where "size and geographical diversity... has presented the country with particular problems of communication and travel" (Smith, 1999:301). It is also the examination of these problems which clearly identify the need to examine the success of e-government innovations at all three levels of government within Australia. An overview of this larger task was undertaken in an earlier paper (see Teicher, Hughes & Dow, 2002; Teicher & Dow, 2003) and the results presented suggest moves to e-government are not uniform amongst the three levels. The initially positive finding that all 78 Victorian councils had websites was quickly replaced with the reality that most of what these sites provided was classified at the lowest levels of sophistication and largely informational only. What emerges clearly at this level of government are a number of questions about what e-government really means for the organisation embracing it. From the provide perspective we have at this stage it appears local e-government may not be very advanced but it is looking fairly good in terms of potential. The question then is, what about the perspective from the user end of these services? Focussing on the level of local government, this paper presents results of a content analysis websites 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 concept of 'joined-up-government'. More importantly, there are clear indications that a much greater dept of research at the case study level is required to investigate the range of internal and external interactions - internally in terms of changing organisational structures and support services as management/worker relationships and externally in terms of changing relationships between local government and the public they service.

description: The aim of this study was to assess if mentoring is more positively related to career advancement for women than men. At Time 1, 5019 Australian employees were surveyed, of whom 3220 responded to a repeat survey a year later. Beyond organizational, job and individual variables, gender differences arose in the links of mentor support to career advancement, differently for career and psychosocial support. Women who reported more career support from their mentors, rather than less, reported more advancement a year later in terms of promotion, unlike men. Moreover, more than men, women who reported more psychosocial support from their mentors, rather than less, reported less advancement a year later, especially promotion. Although results were inconsistent, proteges with male rather than female mentors reported more advancement a year later, especially managerial level, irrespective of prot£ge gender. In addition, bidirectional tests using structural equation modeling showed that career advancement, for men and women, was related positively to career and psychosocial support a year later. And women with higher than lower salaries and managerial levels reported male mentors more a year later. Why gender differences arise in the relationships between mentoring and career advancement was discussed.
Reconstructing the Kalman filter for stationary and non stationary time series
Creators: name: Snyder, Ralph D.
name: Forbes, Catherine S.
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: A Kalman filter, suitable for application to a stationary or a non-stationary time series, is proposed. It works on time series with missing values. It can be used on seasonal time series where the associated state space model may not satisfy the traditional observability condition. A new concept called an `extended normal random vector' is introduced and used throughout the paper to simplify the specification of the Kalman filter. It is an aggregate of means, variances, covariances and other information needed to define the state of a system at a given point in time. By working with this aggregate, the algorithm is specified without direct recourse to those relatively complex formulae for calculating associated means and variances, normally found in traditional expositions of the Kalman filter. A computer implementation of the algorithm is also described where the extended normal random vector is treated as an object; the operations of addition, subtraction and multiplication are overloaded to work on instances of this object; and a form of statistical conditioning is implemented as an operator.

User engagement
Stakeholder engagement

description: This deliverable aims to give a comprehensive overview about the user engagement and user experience activities that were developed and executed by the CORBEL consortium in order to establish contacts to various scientific user communities and to support opening of the services developed in the project to a wide community. Based on the stakeholder analysis and the communication strategy that were developed at the beginning of the project, user engagement activities started right at the beginning of CORBEL. In order to ensure effective communication with all user communities, activities have been performed by all work packages. The tools that were employed to engage with users were direct consultancy tools (e.g. face-to-face or virtual meetings, (feedback) workshops, exhibition/participation at relevant events, organisation of project-related events like the stakeholder meetings), the organisation of two Open Calls for advanced research projects, web-based communication tools (website, newsletter, social media, web-based tools and services), PR material, surveys/questionnaires, the Innovation Office web portal and an extensive webinar series. User engagement activities will continue until the end of the project, and several activities will even be sustained beyond the project’s lifetime, in order to maintain the established contacts to the user communities, to continuously provide information about (joint) RI services, and to offer user access to resources and services (e.g. via the Innovation Helpdesk).

description: In this paper the influence of company size, company ownership and industry sector on the planning and implementation activities for advanced manufacturing technologies (AMTs) in Australasian organisations is statistically assessed. The research instrument was a postal questionnaire which covered the decision areas in AMT proposal generation, assessment and implementation. The 132 respondents were the personnel most actively involved in the planning and implementation of AMT investments in their respective organisations. The statistically significant effects are presented and we suggest plausible explanations for these effects. The main conclusion of this study is that the effects of company size and ownership on AMT adoption are significant in a number of key technology management areas. The effects of industry sector, however, are fewer. We propose that a implication for managers from these findings is in the benchmarking of, or identification of "best practice", AMT management practices. The study highlights that the best AMT practices are not confined to one particular industry or type of company (size, ownership or industry sector).
Principal Components Analysis of Cointegrated Time Series
Creators: name: Harris, David
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This paper considers the analysis of cointegrated time series using principal components methods. These methods have the advantage of neither requiring the normalisation imposed by the triangular error correction model, nor the specification of a finite order vector autoregression. An asymptotically efficient estimator of the cointegrating vectors is given, along with tests for cointegration and tests of certain linear restrictions on the cointegrating vectors. An illustrative application is provided.

A pedants approach to exponential smoothing
Creators: name: Snyder, Ralph D.
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: An approach to exponential smoothing that relies on a linear single source of error state space model is outlined. A maximum likelihood method for the estimation of associated smoothing parameters is developed. Commonly used restrictions on the smoothing parameters are rationalised. Issues surrounding model identification and selection are also considered. It is argued that the proposed revised version of exponential smoothing provides a better framework for forecasting than either the Box-Jenkins or the traditional multi-disturbance state space approaches.
Trend stability and structural change: an extension to the M1 forecasting competition

description: The global linear trend with autocorrelated disturbances is a surprising omission from the M1 competition. This approach to forecasting is therefore evaluated using the 51 non-seasonal series from the competition. It is contrasted with a fully optimized version of Holts trend corrected exponential smoothing. It is found that an adaptation of Holts method, in which the growth rate is restricted to be constant, performs almost as well as its traditional counterpart and usually out-performs the global linear trend with autoregressive disturbances. This therefore confirms the results from other studies which indicate that a long-term trend may be missing from many business and economic time series. An implication of this study is that business forecasters, when applying trend corrected exponential smoothing, should explore the possibility of eliminating the second smoothing constant.
Addressing Australian cereal product supply chain challanges using supply chain and network theory
Creators: name: Perry, Marcia
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Drawing from a qualitative Australian cereal product industry (ACPI) supply chain study involving interviews and site observations, the paper discusses the application of collaboration and network activity as a means of addressing current overall ACPI competitiveness challenges. The ACPI is important to Australia's economy and there is enormous potential for ACPI growth in catering to world food trends. However, supply chain streamlining, or 'cohesiveness' is a challenge for the complex ACPI supply chain and an industry in a state of turbulence. There is a growing body of academic theory on business networking that augments and informs supply chain theory in the search for competitive business advantage. The themes of building on supply chain relationships and leveraging from the strengths of other businesses in order to win-win and increase competitiveness for the various parties are clearly evident. From the findings of the ACPI study, collaborative challenges were particularly noted at the upstream extremity of the supply chain. Some of the challenges found along the supply chain included a lack of understanding of other supply chain sectors, surviving in the face of competition from major players, meeting local retail demands, uncertainty concerning industry consolidation and coordinating the industry to effectively and competitively participate in meeting worldwide consumer demands. Joint strategic planning at industry and government level in conjunction with the food industry and appropriate follow-up action are essential for the ACPI to meet global demand challenges in the future.

description: The omission of international students from the Australian Vice-Chancellor's Committee (AVCC) 2007 national study on student finances is indicative of a pattern of exclusion. The exclusion is unacceptable from a humane perspective and feeds belief that Australians perceive international students primarily as 'cash cows'. This study partially compensates by drawing on information derived from indepth interviews with 200 international students across nine Australian universities. The data casts light on the sources and adequacy of international student income and how these students cope with the financial risks of living and studying in a foreign land. It is revealed that significant numbers of international students experience serious financial difficulties. Thus, we argue that government regulators and university managers should put into practice their affirmed belief that Australian university students should be treated in a consistent and caring manner. Further, we suggest the AVCC should immediately commission a study to examine the financial circumstances of Australian university international students.
The Effects of Immigration on Residents' Incomes in Australia: Some Issues Reconsidered

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This paper outlines the standard neoclassical model (SNM) of the impact of immigration on the incomes of the resident (pre-immigration) population. We augment the SNM to allow for foreign ownership of and government equity in the capital stock. Using the expanded model, four back-of-the-envelope (BOTE) calculations are made. The calculations reveal that the size or the Berry-Soligo welfare triangle is small and is dominated by the effects of foreign ownership of capital and government equity in capital. In our preferred scenario, the BOTE calculation indicates that the 1991-92 Australian immigrant intake reduced residents' income. We believe the results of the BOTE calculations justify a more comprehensive study incorporating a range of other influential factors determining the impact of immigration on residents' income. We suggest a list of such factors and report on work done in these specific areas. Essential to a comprehensive study are the integration of results from studies in specific areas, and the devotion of resources to the tasks of further data collection and model development.

description: Fabrication of smart composites with expected removal property and excellent recycle performance for micro-pollutants including microbes and organic contaminants without formation of second-pollutants is highly desired. In this work, Ag nanoparticles (Ag NPs) homogenously loaded on graphene aerogel (GA) as Ag NPs/GA was facilely fabricated by a one-step process and the composite was characterized in detail. The bactericidal performance of the composite towards escherichia coli (E. coli) was evaluated and the catalytic activity was probed for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP). Results showed that the composite contains about 44.4 wt% of well-dispersed Ag NPs with diameters ranging from 10 to 100 nm. Compared with the bare Ag particles or GA, Ag NPs/GA exhibited an enhanced bactericidal performance for 8-lg of E. coli cells with 100% inactivation rate and catalytic activity for 4-NP with 96.6% degradation rate, respectively. Impressively, the 100% inactivation rates for 8-lg of E. coli remained after 7 recycles and the releasing silver was negligible compared with the loaded Ag NPs. Moreover, the used Ag NPs/GA for the catalytic reduction of 4-NP can be regenerated easily by calcination in inert atmosphere. Hence, Ag NPs/GA can be regarded as a promising and cost-efficient composite for environmental remediation.
A process for an integrated operations and logistics strategy

description: This paper examines the design and implementation of an effective process of operations and logistics strategy. The theory of such strategy processes has not been adequately established by researchers and it is infrequently adopted by manufacturing companies. A process called Strategic Operations and Logistics Planning (SOLP) is developed from the Manufacturing Audit Approach to encompass operations, both internal to enterprises, and across the entire supply chain. The paper posits that SOLP can be used in enterprises with weak strategic planning skills based on successful testing of the process in three Australian meat processing companies. The comparative success of the SOLP process is underpinned by the use of action research involving external facilitation, group consensus and tailoring the process to meet enterprise needs. The results suggest that the SOLP process is successful and that repeated use by a planning team improves its effectiveness in formulation and integration.

Measuring resistance to change: an instrument and its application
Creators: name: Waddell, Dianne
name: Sohal, Amrik S.
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Much research has been undertaken with the assumption that resistance adversely affects a change process. Strategies devised from this perspective often approach resistance adversarially, attempting to circumvent or negate its impact. However, recent research has identified that despite this predominantly negative perception, resistance has also been used to successfully implement many changes in organizations. This paper highlights the need to identify and measure resistance prior to an organizational change effort. Resistance by nature is complex, and its potential to negatively impact change is greatly exacerbated by managers applying a simple set of assumptions when encountering it (Kotter and Schlesinger 1979). By accurately gauging resistance in advance, implementers of change can anticipate the likely response of the organization and thus implement appropriate strategies. To this end, an instrument has been designed that identifies and measures resistance in an organization. The instrument is utilized in a manufacturing organization and the results show that it provides a valid and reliable measure of resistance and is able to accurately identify the likely nature of resistance generally, as well as individual pockets that belie a peculiar stance not indicative of the organization as a whole.

The DOGEV Model

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

description: At present, there appears to be no qualitative dependent model that can simultaneously account for data sets in which the variable of interest is potentially ordered but also has strong heterogeneity of the observed outcomes. This heterogeneity of particular outcomes, inherently attracts individuals to them, in addition to that determined by the individual's observed characteristics. An example of such unobserved heterogeneity would be brand-loyalty (or "captivity") in a model of consumer choice. Such heterogeneity of the outcomes, may well result in a pronounced multi-modal distribution of the variable of interest. This paper introduces the Dogit Ordered Generalized Extreme Value (DOGEV) model, which does account for both ordering and captivity (and/or multiple modes) in the data. In the spirit of Manski (1977), the DOGEV model combines a model for choice set generation with the Ordered Generalized Extreme Value model. We illustrate the model using three different empirical examples: a model of employment contract types; an inflationary expectations data set and; a survey of students' evaluations of teaching. These three examples are chosen as they represent different values that the additional ancillary parameters are likely to take in practice.

description: E-government can help improve governance and service delivery by refocusing consideration of the purposes and tools of government. However, E-government initiatives pose challenging questions of management, especially about coordination in government and the design of services for citizens. Progress towards implementing e-government raises critical questions about preferred styles of governance and about how governments relate to citizens. At present, interactions between citizens, the institutions of government and Information and Communications technology raise more agendas than governments can handle. However, trying to find ways through these agendas is to confront questions of wide interest to citizens. At the very least, e-government helps improve governance and services by asking questions.
Occupational safety in China: possible contributions from the fields of safety culture and safety climate

description: The low standard of occupational safety in China is an issue of human rights and is an ethical concern at an international level. No country in history has industrialised at the same rate as China has over the past 20 years. This focus on production is reflected not only in the national culture, but also the organisational culture of Chinese businesses. Whilst it is important to appreciate China's developmental goals, it is necessary to achieve more balance between production and safety. This paper presents a review of occupational safety combining the research conducted in developed countries with the state of occupational safety in China. As a result of this review, it is argued that whilst a focus on legislation, regulation, and technology are vital, so to is the development of an understanding of safety culture and safety climate at the national and organisational level in China. The literature reviewed in this paper suggests that while China recognises the importance of such concepts their research agenda does not support such a focus.
Choosing Lag Lengths in Nonlinear Dynamic Models
Creators: name: Anderson, Heather M.
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Given that it is quite impractical to use standard model selection criteria in a nonlinear modeling context, the builders of nonlinear models often choose lag length by setting it equal to the lag length chosen for a linear autoregression of the data. This paper studies the performance of this procedure in a variety of circumstances, and then proposes some new and simple model selection procedures, based on linear approximations of the nonlinear forms. The idea here is to apply standard selection criteria to these linear approximations, rather than to autoregressions that make no provision for nonlinear behavior. A simulation study compares the properties of these proposed procedures with the properties of linear selection procedures.

description: During the period 2000 to 2003, global FDI declined by 60 percent. Investment in the ASEAN-5 also fell while investment in China surged, causing it to become the world's biggest host country of foreign direct investment (FDI). These trends have significant implications for the countries concerned as FDI is understood to be a major force for growth and development, an agent for the spread of capital, technology and management skills and supports the upgrading of competitiveness of host countries. In addition to China's large market size and high growth rate, a range of environmental factors have been identified that will also assist in explaining these trends. These factors include China's entry into the World Trade Organisation, economic integration of the Chinese Economic Area, the Asian economic crisis and changing patterns of costs and government incentives across Asia. This study reports the influence of these environmental factors on the strategic decision-making process of multinational corporations (MNCs) that have restructured their subsidiaries in Malaysia as part of their production strategy in East Asia, which now includes significant operations in China. This paper will show that MNCs are not simply transferring production from Southeast Asia to China, but rather a more sophisticated segmentation of global production is taking place in East Asia.

Maintaining the Status Quo: The Discursive Construction of Gender Inequality in Work Organisations
Creators: name: Hinton, Susan E.
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The literature on creating more equitable and inclusive and therefore more effective organisations focuses on the gendered basis of organisational and management structures, practices and the existence of gendered organisational cultures. This paper uses a post-structuralist discourse perspective to argue that an examination of organisational discourses holds the key to understanding gendered organisational processes that produce unequal employment outcomes for women. The paper draws on data from three organisational case studies to demonstrate the power of discourse analysis in unveiling hitherto difficult to identify and challenge gendered organisational processes that exclude or marginalise women in paid employment.

description: The Roman textile and clothing industry was organised into a public and a private sector, however, the division was not on a contract basis. Instead, 'private' denoted the manufacture of cloth and articles of clothing undertaken domestically, usually by women, and 'public' denoted that done commercially by (usually) male waged craftsmen and labourers in workshops or 'factories'. The industry therefore provides an ancient example of the gendered division of labour. This pattern of organisation has a major effect on the issue of control in the industry, particularly at the micro-organisational level of the workplace. This paper draws on ancient evidence to demonstrate that the pattern of industrial relations in the Roman clothing and textile industry exhibits a number of characteristics common to the modern industry.
Factors Affecting SMEs' Owners/managers in Adoption of Business-to-Business Techniques: a Research Framework

description: This paper uses innovation and diffusion theory and the technology acceptance model as its theoretical basis. The paper proposes a new theoretical model that emphasises on Small to Medium Enterprises' adopting Business to Business electronic commerce by identifying the individual factors, including perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, innovativeness, attitude, and behaviour as the factors affecting owners/managers decision to the adoption. Because of individuals' uniqueness and the nature of B2B techniques, differences in education, organisational culture, past experience with technology, and the pressures from important business partners and suppliers are identified as possible moderators for the effects of individual factors.
Classroom Globalization: An Investigation of Teaching Methods to Address the Phenomenon of Students from Multiple National Cultures in Business School Classrooms

description: As students from a variety of national cultures move through a "boundaryless" world, the business classroom becomes a much more global or international phenomenon. And yet, one hears little from faculty about how this globalization or internationalization is influencing their teaching. The following offers a review of the challenges presented by a global or international classroom and presents several specific strategies for handling a class of students from a variety of national cultures.
Development of a Multi-household version of the Monash Model

description: This paper is ongoing work by the Centre of Policy Studies and the Impact Project that integrates the ideas of micro simulation with Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) modelling. In micro simulation the behaviour of individuals or households is modelled directly, typically using unit record data, whereas CGE models place an emphasis on market interactions and can take account of the indirect effect on households of changes in market conditions. For many policy issues (such as taxation reform), a combination of the two approaches is desirable so that both the direct and the indirect effects of such reform can be addressed. What is needed is for unit record data to be used in combination with a CGE model; that is, for the modelling of households to be combined with the modelling of markets. This can be achieved by embedding a detailed household sector in an CGE model. The solution of the model then provides distributional results for the representative households directly. In this paper a detailed household sector comprising 100 types of households - differentiated by income and demographic grouping - is developed and embedded in the MONASH Model. Simulations are conducted that measure the economy wide effects of redistributing income across these households.

Changes in the role of government in human resource practices in China: implications for multinational corporations

description: Although reforms in human resource (HR) practices in China have been discussed in the literature, few articles have systematically examined the role played by the government in the two major HR practices (staffing and compensation) since the founding of the People's Republic of China (PRC) in 1949. Furthermore, there has been little analysis of the changes that have occurred in the government's role since the commencement of economic reforms in 1979. A number of questions arise. First, how has the government changed its traditional practices in staffing and compensation? Second, what are the implications of such changes for multinational corporations (MNCs) which currently have subsidiaries in China or are planning to invest in China? This paper seeks to answer these questions in four segments. First, the dual role of the government and its subsequent relationship with industrial enterprises during Mao's regime is examined, reflecting on the administrative, rather than economic, nature of such a relationship. Second, the transition of staffing practices from highly centralised labour allocation to 'two-way* selection in a newly emerged tree labour market is reviewed. The radical changes in the compensation system and practice is the focus of the third part, highlighting how centrally fixed wage scales have shifted to enterprise-determined pay packages. Finally, the implications of these changes for MNCs in China are discussed, including the issues of obtaining a skilled workforce, distribution of rewards and decision-making with regard to performance-related pay.
Tariff-Quota Non-Equivalence In a Competitive General Equilibrium Framework (Revised Version April 1997)

description: We construct a standard multi-sector, multi-factor general equilibrium model, with goods outnumbering factors to argue that in such a general structure, tariff and quota can have drastically different impacts on trade patterns. This result casts doubt on one of the fundamental results in the theory of commercial policy.
'We had no Choice. It was Inevitable.' Some Thoughts on Parallel Processes Between Researcher and Researched in Response to Organizational Change

description: Confronted my her own sins of omissions, half-truths and deletions, the research that was to be presented by the researcher is now the object of research. Formally, this was to be a paper on the search for the truth of one organisation's experience of the inevitability of radical organisational change. Faced by the learning acquired through this process, this paper now reveals the painful awareness of the entanglement of relationships that is created between the researcher and the researched to deny that truth.
Forecasting Models and Prediction Intervals for the Multiplicative Holt-winters Method

description: A new class of models for data showing trend and multiplicative seasonality is presented. The models allow the forecast error variance to depend on the trend and/or the seasonality. It can be shown that each of these models has the same updating equations and forecast functions as the multiplicative Holt-Winters method, regardless of whether the error variation in the model is constant or not. While the point forecasts from the different models are identical, the prediction intervals will, of course, depend on the structure of the error variance and so it is essential to be able to choose the most appropriate form of model. Two methods for making this choice are presented and examined by simulation.
Inflation, Financial Development and Endogenous Growth

description: The paper extends the literature on financial development, inflation, and growth by using the idea that both the rates of return on physical and human capital a ect growth. This leads to the introduction of the investment rate into the model, as a proxy for the return to physical capital, along with the inflation rate as a variable affecting the return to human capital. As a result financial development plays a different role from the typical growth-enhancing effect found pervasively in the literature. Instead the results suggest a new hypothesis linking financial development to the nature of the effect of inflation on growth.
Model Selection Criteria for Segmented Time Series from a Bayesian Approach to Information Compression

description: The principle that the simplest model capable of describing observed phenomena should also correspond to the best description has long been a guiding rule of inference. In this paper a Bayesian approach to formally implementing this principle is employed to develop model selection criteria for detecting structural change in financial and economic time series. Model selection criteria which allow for multiple structural breaks and which seek the optimal model order and parameter choices within regimes are derived. Comparative simulations against other popular information based model selection criteria are performed. Application of the derived criteria are also made to example financial and economic time series.
