Division of labor, coordination, and underemployment
Creators: name: Shi, Heling
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: In this paper, a general equilibrium model is constructed to investigate the concurrent movements in the number of traded goods, structural underemployment, and real income. Departing from the neoclassical tradition of the dichotomy of consumption and production, individuals are assumed to be both consumers and producers. The equilibrium is characterized by the tradeoff between the economies of specialization and the market transaction costs incurred in market exchanges. Transaction is costly and its efficiency dependent on infrastructure and the collective marketing effort exerted by all participants. Coordination among participants would result in an optimal amount of marketing effort and correctly identify the most efficient economic structure. Failing to achieve the proper coordination would not only decrease real income in each economic structure, but also prevent the selection of the most efficient economic structure. These two unfavorable outcomes of coordination failure could result in two different types of underemployment. Ths story is related to the "Search costs" and the "Coordination failure" approaches in the New Keynesian Economics but goes beyond the existing literature by endogenizing the equilibrium economic structure.
Dams and disputes: water institutions in colonial New South Wales, Australia, 1850-1870

Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This paper will analyse the operation of the British common law of riparian rights in the Riverina District of New South Wales (NSW), Australia between 1850 and 1870. Theorists argue that the predisposition of people to fight over or cooperate to exploit valuable resources depends on how well property rights are defined and enforced.† The operation of the riparian doctrine in the Riverina provides an empirical, historical example of why inefficient property rights promote violence. Violence in this instance was based on collective action directed at the destruction of water supply infrastructure, specifically dams, constructed on various rivers within the Riverina. This paper considers why collective action in violence did not spill over into infrastructure construction. It is argued that the failure of collective action was due to its high costs stemming from several factors: failure to meet optimal group size; problems of free riders; hold-up concerns; and the introduction of a much disputed land policy in 1861 referred to as selection.

description: The architects of European integration expected that enhanced economic growth and efficiency would flow from the single market reforms of 1992. It is reasonable to assume that companies resident in Europe during the integration period would face enhanced competition, new threats and opportunities. A survey of Australian manufacturers based in Britain, however, indicated that the impact of the reforms would be marginal. The survey responses are outlined in the paper.
Team Leader Training In The Australian Automotive Industry

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

description: This paper explores the recent developments in vocational education and training for team leaders in Australia's automotive industry. The widespread introduction of team working in Australia was accompanied by the introduction of new vocational qualifications and the paper examines the impact that this has had on the skill development of team leaders. Team development in the Australian automotive industry is found to be increasingly dependent upon the informal work of team leaders as the automotive manufacturing companies wind back their commitment to broad-based skill development at work. There is an increased focus upon on-the-job skill development but much of this happens informally, with formal competency assessments taking place outside the team. Team leaders have an important role in team development but this role is not recognised in current competency-based training in Australia.
Is retail compatibility a natural phenomenon?: a comparison of store compatibility in planned and unplanned retail centres

description: The emergence of the internet and a more discerning consumer has created the need for traditional retail centres to provide a more convenient shopping environment. A retail centre offers convenience when it minimises the spatial, temporal and effort costs of shopping. A key means of providing spatial convenience is through store compatibility. Creating clusters of stores that share customers, also reduces shopping's temporal and effort costs. This study provides statistical insight into the degree of compatibility offered by a sample of 6 planned centres and 6 unplanned centres. Across all four tests, the planned centre was found to hold a significant competitive advantage. The findings add support to the notion that the demise of the unplanned centre could be linked to its inability to satisfy the needs of a convenience-oriented society.
Best practice in Australian manufacturing sites

description: This paper delineates the concept of Best Practice (BP); demonstrates that the practices of Australian manufactures subscribing to best practice are significantly different from those that do not; and determines whether components of best practice used by industry match components recognized by researchers. A search of the literature for definitions of BP and a statistical analysis of a survey completed by 962 Australian manufacturing sites were used. Most definitions of BP comprise lists of components that vary significantly amongst authors and do not reflect strong theoretical bases but researchers and practitioners use roughly similar definitions. There are significant differences between the strategies and practices of Australian manufacturers that use BP and those that do not. It is difficult to prove that BP causes superior performance. Internal efforts to improve performance may be masked by their lagged effects and events external to the organization. Superior performance might be caused by energetic management in part manifest in BP and other improvement programs. Nevertheless, having a BP program is strongly associated with traits such as proactivity, internal communication, training and leadership that should be commercially advantageous. Manufacturers should therefore consider implementing BP programs. This paper clarifies definitions of BP and conclusively demonstrates that the practices of Australian organizations subscribing to BP are significantly different from those that do not.
The Interaction of Land Use Planning and Regional Industry Development

description: This paper raises the issues surrounding government land use planning in the context of regional industry development. These issues have been identified from recent survey and interviews with companies in the Moorabbin Project - a regional industry development project being conducted in the Moorabbin area. The paper is presented in the context of growing recognition at all three levels of Australian government of the need for regional economic development. The issues identified in the Moorabbin Project suggest that land use planning environment in a region has a significant impact on both the efficiency of companies and on the ability of a region to sustain company growth and hence job creation. This impact is demonstrated to have links to a range of perceptions about the region in the minds of the owner/managers, which inturn influence investment decisions in growing companies. There are other influences like the tax treatment of the costs of moving a company which are a very real cost barrier in the minds of decision makers. The project also indicates that the dynamics of company growth and movement is influenced by property ownership. The paper concludes with comments on the implication of these issues on government planning and areas for further research.
Ethnoconsumerism in tourism, the need for ethnocapability

description: A significant management challenge for the future of international tourism is satisfying visitors who have profoundly different cultural beliefs and traditions. With the emerging growth of one global market, limited vigorous research exists concerning the diverse eastern and western perspectives of quality and satisfaction. The present theories are from western paradigms and based on rational scientific approaches to truth. However, these models are not directly relevant to the eastern method of interpretation and meaning due to different consciousness expressing itself in the realism of consumer value and buying patterns. This paper reviews the factors for consideration in the growth of the eastern market and provides a proposed paradigm for exploring relationship marketing in ethnoconsumerism.

Microeconomic reform and the third sector - the Australian experience
Creators: name: O'Neill, Deirdre
name: McGuire, Linda
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Four key agendas have been identified in the changing relationship between government and the third sector as a consequence of microeconomic reform in Australia. These are: fiscal responsibility, performance monitoring and measurement, increased use of market type mechanisms and separation of program funding from service delivery. The objectives driving these are greater accountability, increased effectiveness, improved efficiency and preventing the capture of program funding by sectional interests. These agendas are creating a new relationship between government and the third sector which is based on mechanisms to separate funding and service provision. It is also increasingly contractual in nature and is subject to more frequent review with contestability and performance management requirements. The relationship is changing from one of collaboration to competition. As a consequence, there has been a shift in strategic control from third sector agencies to the funding agencies within government. A case study of the Department of Human Services in Victoria, where the state government has been at the forefront of market-based reforms since 1992, examines the implications of this shift for third sector agencies. As the major funder of community programs in the state, the Department has adopted a contractual model to restructure its relationships with both internal and external service providers. Consistent with this model, the Department is moving progressively towards output-based funding and competitive tendering of service delivery. It is argued that the case study reveals the future directions of government/third sector relations in Australia.

Service Embeddedness: A Determinant Of Product Composition And Firm Internationalisation: Some Evidence From The UK

description: The extant literature on internationalisation has largely been concerned with analysing firm internationalisation strategy and entry mode choice from the perspective of a manufacturing firm. Over the last decade the growth of services, and their internationalisation, has attracted considerable attention from academics, with the focus being on particular characteristics that distinguish services from goods. However, as the composition of a firm's product usually contains both good and service characteristics, this paper argues that it is misleading to categorise a product simply as a `good' and/or a 'service'. Rather, it is important to understand the extent of service components that embody, or are embedded in, a product offering. Such embeddedness often impacts on the manner in which a firm internationalises. It is argued that the higher the degree of service embeddedness in a product the greater the possibility of a direct market entry and vice versa. Based on a number of case studies the paper examines the impact of service embeddedness on the entry mode choice of Australian manufacturers in the UK.
National Health Insurance in Australia: New Concepts and New Applications.
Creators: name: Scotton, Richard
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Like most other OECD countries, Australia has achieved universal coverage and a substantial control of total health expenditures under a national health insurance program. Like them also, a major objective of health policy is to increase supply side efficiency, for which the relatively recent concepts of managed competition and diagnosis related groups (DRGs) constitute potentially useful tools. Their application in Australia has to take into account the complications of a dual system of health service provision and funding and a federal system of government with overlapping responsibilities of national and state governments in the public sector. A proposal to extend the services covered by the public Medicare program and to include within it the option of private coverage by health plans, operating under managed competition conditions along the lines advocated by Enthoven, is described. Contracts for all hospital services would be in terms of DRGs and other output-related measures. As in the proposed Dutch program, the main source of revenue of the private health plans would be risk-related subsidies from a central fund. The potential for market failure resulting from "cream skimming" (deliberate risk selection) by health plans can be reduced to minimal proportions by incorporating measures of service use/health status in the subsidy formula, together with pro-competitive regulation and the continuing option of public coverage under Medicare for those who do not take the private option.

description: This paper provides an analysis of what may be seen as a generalized Smithian Theorem that the division of labor is limited by uncertainties, knowledge, and transaction/coordination costs (as well as the extent of the market). The interplay between knowledge and uncertainty on the one hand and progressive specialization on the other, and the implication of inter-occupational difference in human capital investments for the division of labor are further analyzed.
The Strategic Consequences Of European Economic Integration For Australian Manufacturers In The UK: A Study Of Five Survivors

description: This paper presents a longitudinal insight into the strategic consequences of European Union (EU) expansion for Australian manufacturers in the UK. In 1992, immediately prior to the 1992 single market reforms, Edwards and Buckley surveyed 20 Australian manufacturing firms in Britain for their perception of the likely strategic impact of those reforms. The results of that study indicated that Australian businesses did not expect dramatic strategic consequences from European integration. In 2004 a 12-year follow up investigation focusing on EU expansion was undertaken. Of the 20 firms originally interviewed, 11 had been divested, and four were unable to provide appropriate respondents that met the researchers logistical and time constraints. Respondents from the remaining five firms were interviewed at their UK offices. Unlike the lackluster approach reported from the original study, the five 2004 respondents appeared to have undertaken a relatively sophisticated analysis of the strategic consequences of EU expansion. It later emerged that four of these five 'survivors' were the minority that had earlier attributed significance to the 1992 single market reforms. A range of considerations was identified from their responses.

The paper reports chief results and discusses problems associated with negative utilities, spontaneous versus deliberative weights, framing effect bias. New validation procedures are used to test for the existence of a ‘strong interval property’, the defining characteristic of the QALY. One external validation test of the strong interval property is reported.

description: The problem of constructing prediction intervals for linear time series (ARIMA) models is examined. The aim is to find prediction intervals which incorporate an allowance for sampling error associated with parameter estimates. The effect of constraints on parameters arising from stationarity and invertibility conditions is also incorporated. Two new methods, based to varying degrees on first-order Taylor approximations, are proposed. These are compared in a simulation study to two existing methods: a heuristic approach and the 'plug-in' method whereby parameter values are set equal to their maximum likelihood estimates

Do obese patients stay longer in hospital? Estimating the health care costs of obesity
Creators: name: Hauck, Katharina

Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Objective: To determine if obese patients have longer average length of stay once they are admitted to hospital, across a range of specialties. This contributes to measuring the impact of obesity on health care resource use. Data Sources/Study Setting: Administrative hospital data are used for the financial year 2005/06 covering all episodes of patient care (1.3 million) in 122 public hospitals in the state of Victoria, Australia. The data are collected as part of Diagnosis Related Group (DRG) case mix funding arrangements by the state government. Study Design: Statistical analysis are undertaken using quantile regression analysis to determine differences in average length of stay within different specialties for two groups of patients, those classified as obese, and those not classified as obese. Quantile regression allows a comparison of differences between the length of stay of obese and non-obese patients across the whole distribution of length of stay of inpatients, in contrast to more commonly used statistical methods which use only the mean. We condition on a range of patient and hospital characteristics such as age, sex, socioeconomic status, medical complexity of patients, teaching status, size and location of hospitals. Data Collection/Extraction Methods: Data on inpatient episodes with at least one overnight stay in hospital are used. We exclude episodes with missing information on one or more of the explanatory variables and we exclude specialties with less than 50 reported obese inpatients per financial year. The final sample consists of just over 460,000 observations. Principal Findings: Large and significant differences in average length of stay are found between obese and non-obese patients for nearly all specialties. In some specialties, obese patients can stay up to 4 days longer. However, obesity does not necessarily lead to longer hospital stays. In a range of specialties, obese patients have shorter length of stay on average. In general, differences between obese and non-obese patients are more pronounced at greater levels of medical complexity. There is some evidence that differences may arise because obese patients are more likely to be treated medically rather than surgically, to be transferred to another hospital, thus shifting risks and costs, or to die from higher complication rates. Conclusions: Our study sheds new light on the impact of obesity on health care costs. We demonstrate that an analysis across the whole spectrum of medical complexity provides much better estimates of resource use by obese patients than standard techniques. Future research should focus on differences in the way obese patients are managed in hospital. This will show where resource use is most intense, and help policy makers and hospital managers increase efficiency and quality of care for obese patients.
The Withering Away of the Australian State: Privatisation and its Implications for Labour

Year: 2017

description: This article analyses the privatisation processes at work in Australia, and assesses the significance of these to the employment relationship and organised labour. The argument has two aspects. First, it is argued that privatisation - that is, the process of transformation whereby state assets and state functions are moved from the state sector to the private sector - is a key element in a process of state restructuring. The various Governments in Australia have pursued distinctive policies towards state restructuring; and the objective, content and consequences of privatisation programs have thus been divergent. The second part of the argument is that Australian politicians who advocate privatisation tend to do so in terms of its practical benefits in reducing state debt and improving efficiency, promoting a 'de-politicised' version of privatisation, when in fact the decisions to privatise are inescapably linked to power and authority in capitalist society. There are three salient ideological considerations: Firstly, politicians and other policy formulators see privatisation as key to re-drawing the balance between private and public property and thus laying the foundation for a revived internationalising economy. Secondly, the relationship between Governments and organised labour is recast in order to establish the basis for control and exploitation. Thirdly, it has been the geo-political location of state power - especially the balance of power between rural and metropolitan interests - which has been central to the way in which privatisation decisions are worked out in practice, not ideological differences between political parties.

Prevention of medical device-related pressure injuries in critically ill patients: a quality improvement project
Creators: name: Cobb, Michia
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2022

description: Purpose: Medical device related pressure injuries (MDRPIs) occur as a result of devices designed and applied for diagnostic or therapeutic use. Pressure injury development increases hospital length of stay, mortality rates and costs related to treatment. Patients admitted to intensive care units are 2.4 times more likely to develop pressure injuries due to severity of illnesses, presence of comorbidities and the presence of medically necessary devices. This Doctor of Nursing practice project examined the impact of an evidence-based bundle of nurse-driven interventions to reduce the prevalence of MDRPIs in critically ill adults, with a focus on cervical collars, tracheostomy face plates, and tracheostomy ties.Methodology: This was a quality improvement, pre-and post-implementation design. Patients 18 years of age or older, admitted to the surgical intensive care unit with either a cervical collar or tracheostomy tube, or a patient that received one of these medical devices at any time during the specified period were included. Study participants received a bundle of interventions to prevent pressure injuries related to these medical devices that included: standardized skin assessment and documentation related to the device; application of prophylactic foam dressings in areas where medical devices were in use; standardized evaluation of need and timely removal of cervical collars; use of soft foam tracheostomy ties; and timely suture removal at tracheostomy site. Prevalence rates pre and post intervention were compared. Results:Thirty-one (31) patients were included in the study. There was no reported MDPRI related to cervical devices or tracheostomy plates or ties in the post intervention period. Findings demonstrated greater than 90% compliance with five of the seven bundle components. Implications for Practice: This project introduced an evidence based, standardized bundle of interventions which increased awareness of prevention efforts, and enhanced patient care and safety in the Surgical Intensive Care Unit. Continued monitoring of MDRPI rates, ongoing education and feedback for staff is needed to sustain awareness of the importance of PI prevention and positively affect prevalence rates.

description: A modelling exercise was conducted to assess the cost effectiveness of home assessment and modification to reduce falls in the elderly. The model was designed to simulate the costs and consequences of a fall to the elderly over a one year period. The model was developed using the results of published studies related to falls and injuries in the elderly. The intervention was assumed to reduce the fall incidence in the intervention group. The cost effectiveness of the proposed intervention was measured in terms of incremental cost per fall prevented and injury prevented. The model predicted that the home assessment and modification to reduce fall in the elderly would incur an incremental cost $17,210 for a fall-injury prevented.

description: The study of relationship marketing in multicultural markets has previously viewed the ethnic population as a separate culture due to the origin of the research and texts. These market segments have grown significantly in relevance due to the increase of global organisations and these include both overseas countries and diverse local communities. These multicultural sectors contain ethnic groups whose spiritual beliefs are no longer a sub cultural factor as usually described in western text. The significant growth in the overall ethnic influence changes the assumptions included in management, relationship marketing, customer satisfaction and the standard required to progress from a pluralist to a genuinely multicultural global organisation. This paper reviews the factors for consideration in the growth of this market.

description: Concerns about vaccine safety are an important reason for vaccine hesitancy, however, limited information is available on whether common adverse reactions following vaccination affect the immune response. Data from three clinical trials of recombinant vaccines were used in this post hoc analysis to assess the correlation between inflammation-related solicited adverse reactions (ISARs, including local pain, redness, swelling or induration and systematic fever) and immune responses after vaccination. In the phase III trial of the bivalent HPV-16/18 vaccine (Cecolin®), the geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) for IgG anti-HPV-16 and -18 (P<0.001) were significantly higher in participants with any ISAR following vaccination than in those without an ISAR. Local pain, induration, swelling and systemic fever were significantly correlated with higher GMCs for IgG anti-HPV-16 and/or anti-HPV-18, respectively. Furthermore, the analyses of the immunogenicity bridging study of Cecolin® and the phase III trial of a hepatitis E vaccine yielded similar results. Based on these results, we built a scoring model to quantify the inflammation reactions and found that the high score of ISAR indicates the strong vaccine-induced antibody level. In conclusion, this study suggests inflammation-related adverse reactions following vaccination potentially indicate a stronger immune response.
Corporate social responsibility orientation: an alternative construct and its application

description: While the process by which organisations adapt to their task environment has received much attention from managers and researchers, the non-task, or social environment has received relatively little attention. This paper examines social strategy-environment co-alignment with respect to an organisation's social environment. Based upon a critical examination of the concept of corporate social responsibility orientation (CSRO) as a descriptor of the mode of adaptation to the social environment sought by an organisation, it is argued that a new, theoretical construct of CSRO is required, which is based on an organisation's goals, goal-related behaviour and goal-related transactions with the social environment. Propositions are advanced relating an organisation's social adaptation to its level of exposure to the social environment, its philosophy and values, and its ability to derive competitive advantage from stakeholder relationships. Finally, ways in which the new construct can advance theory and practice are offered.

Demand forecasting: evidence-based methods

description: We looked at evidence from comparative empirical studies to identify methods that can be useful for predicting demand in various situations and to warn against methods that should not be used. In general, use structured methods and avoid intuition, unstructured meetings, focus groups, and data mining. In situations where there are sufficient data, use quantitative methods including extrapolation, quantitative analogies, rule-based forecasting, and causal methods. Otherwise, use methods that structure judgement including surveys of intentions and expectations, judgmental bootstrapping, structured analogies, and simulated interaction. Managers’ domain knowledge should be incorporated into statistical forecasts. Methods for combining forecasts, including Delphi and prediction markets, improve accuracy. We provide guidelines for the effective use of forecasts, including such procedures as scenarios. Few organizations use many of the methods described in this paper. Thus, there are opportunities to improve efficiency by adopting these forecasting practices.
The finite-sample properties of autoregressive approximations of fractionally-integrated and non-invertible processes

description: This paper investigates the empirical properties of autoregressive approximations to two classes of process for which the usual regularity conditions do not apply; namely the non-invertible and fractionally integrated processes considered in Poskitt (2006). In that paper the theoretical consequences of fitting long autoregressions under regularity conditions that allow for these two situations was considered, and convergence rates for the sample autocovariances and autoregressive coefficients established. We now consider the finite-sample properties of alternative estimators of the AR parameters of the approximating AR(h) process and corresponding estimates of the optimal approximating order h. The estimators considered include the Yule-Walker, Least Squares, and Burg estimators.

The Urban Informal Sector: Theory, Characteristics, and Growth From 1980 to 1990 with a Special Emphasis on Indonesia

description: This paper defines the informal sector (IS) as being self-employed persons assisted by family and other non-wage earners. It reports on a survey in Semarang which shows that many IS self-employees earn more than the regional minimum wage which is consistent with the findings from other studies. An analysis of Central Bureau of Statistics data show that the rate of growth of the informal sector from 1985 to 1990 was much lower than the formal sector and much lower than the informal sector from 1980 to 1985, with the construction and transportation sectors being exceptions and the female informal sector growth being 39 % that of males. Various theoretical aspects of the informal sector are discussed which need to be taken into account in policy formulation.
