description: The Mg-Y-Zn magnesium alloy system is commonly recognized for its remarkable combination of high strength and ductility, achieved even with minimal amounts of alloying elements. This exceptional performance is attributed to its unique microstructure, which includes Long-Period Stacking Ordered (LPSO) phases or the distinctive microstructure derived from the LPSO phase, referred to as the Mille-Feuille structure (MFS). This study systematically compares the traditional ingot metallurgy method with the rapid solidification technique, coupled with diverse heat treatments and extrusion processes. Microscopic analyses reveal variations in the presence of LPSO phases, Mille-Feuille structure, and grain size, leading to divergent mechanical and corrosion properties. The rapid solidification approach stands out, ensuring superior mechanical properties alongside a reasonable corrosion rate.

description: The success and survival of a company in the knowledge economy is determined by a company's strategic framework and its implementation in managing the most important resource, the human resource. Any company that designs and implements human resource strategies in a superior manner to that of its competitors creates a niche in the labour market and succeeds in generating high level of human resource performance. This paper attempts to conceptualise this niche or Human Resource Premium and explore its application in strategic human resources management. A higher level of human resources premium delivers a higher level of human resource performance - a level that is higher than that of its competitors. This differential in human resource performance acts as human resource performance advantage for the company and leads to a sustainable competitive advantage.
Estimating Demand With Varied Levels of Aggregation

description: The response of consumer demand to prices, income, and other characteristics is important for a range of policy issues. Naturally, the level of detail for which consumer behaviour can be estimated depends on the level of disaggregation of the available data. However, it is often the case that the available data is differently aggregated in different time periods, with the information available in later time periods usually being more detailed. The applied researcher is thus faced with choosing between detail, in which case the more highly aggregated data is ignored; or duration, in which case the data must be aggregated up to the "lowest common denominator". Furthermore, since parametric demand systems invariably involve a large number of parameters, with the number increasing at least linearly with the number of expenditure categories, it may well be that only the second option is feasible. That is, there is simply not enough data available at the finer aggregation level for the chosen model to be estimated.This paper develops a specification/estimation technique that exploits the entire information content of a variably-aggregated data set. The technique is based on the observation that the more highly aggregated data does in fact contain information on the finer subcategories: viz, the sum of certain subcategory expenditures is observed. It is thus possible, under certain simplifying assumptions, to write down, and maximize, the likelihood of the observed data as a function of the parameters of the chosen model written for the finest available level of disaggregation. The technique is applied to an ABS dataset containing historical information relating to private final consumption expenditures on up to 18 commodities, and found to be feasible for both the LES and AIDS.
Managing Dissolution in Chinese-German Buyer-Seller Relationships

description: This study extends our understanding of relationship dissolution by conceptualising the link between national culture and dissolution communication strategies. A single case study of the management of relationship dissolution with Chinese partners was conducted, from an interpretive Western perspective, focusing on the German disengaging company and an Australian pilot survey. Results suggest that even minimal cultural sensitivity to the disengagee may result in a less damaging dissolution outcome for the disengager by avoiding blaming the disengagee and discussing issues collectively. International managers need to employ culturally sensitive dissolution strategies when dealing with international partners in order to minimise negative impacts and leave options open for a future re-establishment of the relationship, thereby achieving a "culturally sensitive dissolution".
Labour of burden: an analysis of occupational change - the domestic worker

description: Increasingly a number of writers have written about the impact of the service sector on the overall growth and performance of economies. Generally addressing knowledge based industries and their importance for the future of any economy they often overlook the unskilled aspect of the service sector and its importance in providing work for unskilled labour. Set against this background this paper seeks to provide a historical perspective on the changing nature of occupations and the employment relationship embodied in that occupation. It does so by looking at the role of domestic workers (also known as domestic servants, housekeepers, maids, household technicians) and their employers. Viewed traditionally in a negative light as a "dead end" blue collar occupation with low remuneration, unpleasant working conditions and little opportunity for career advancement, it has failed to achieve the advancement made by other blue collar industries in terms of pay and conditions. This can be attributed due to its solitary nature, lack of collective organisation and semi formal existence ie: lack of registration within the formal employment framework. This has changed in recent times due to a concerted effort by housekeepers to redefine their role to that of an independent service provider. The nature of work performed by the domestic worker in the early to middle part of this century has been characterised by fragmented tasks completed on a repetitive basis whilst being overseen by the employer. This has evolved into a situation where the work takes on a sub-contracting nature, offering flexibility and specialisation. However this paper argues that this notion of independence may be threatened by the mass recruitment of domestic servants from the Third World. What is evident as a result is that the housekeeper who has attained certain pay and conditions and works independently is now being displaced by cheaper imported labour. This paper then seeks to address some of these issues which have arisen out of the evolution and dynamics of the occupation, and the important implications and ramifications it has for the division of labour within the domestic help economy.
Managing the use of email in Telstra

description: Telstra has grown critically dependent on electronic mail, the 'process of sending letters, documents, and messages between computers' (McKeown and Leitch, 1993:585). At least half a million messages are sent each week over the WAN 1 , a growth rate of fifty percent per year. This amazing rate of growth is a global trend. The Australian Financial Review in December 1996 reported that "more e-mail messages were sent worldwide last year than letters - 95 billion compared with 85 billion - as e-mail rapidly outpaces the post" (1996:2). Given this increasing need for corporate information sharing2 , networking and flexible organisations3 , computer-linked work groups4 , and domestic and international stategic alliances5 , email, like many other IT applications, is increasingly being viewed not only as a strategic and competitive tool, but as a crucial resource which needs to be managed. As a primary telecommunications provider, Telstra has always been a rich site for research into the adoption and usage of information and communications technologies. Australia's largest employer for much of its existence, it has had over a decade of experience in the organisational use of email. Despite this, the anecdotal evidence which stimulated this research, suggested that while Telstra users wanted email, they believed it was no longer the effective business tool it should be; that it was over-used or abused, or had become a frustrating time waster. Despite the existence of several policy studies within Telstra, and the circulation of internal documents aimed at setting business and legal guidelines for email usage, no corporate-wide policies are in place to manage the optimal use of email as a strategic communications tool 6 Many users were unaware of, or in some cases resistant to, policies affecting them. Managers, keen to develop policies to provide guidelines for the optimal use of email as a strategic communications tool; were asking questions about why people were using so much email, and how much of it was really necessary?
Managing for results but with neutrality: a study of moral values of Gippsland local government managers

description: This paper is a modest attempt to empirically study moral values of local government managers that inform their actions. The research identifies four dimensions of public management morality: anonymity, partisanship, obedience and process/results emphasis. These dimensions are developed in terms of a continuum of three moral ideal types: service, neutrality, and technocratic. Data was collected from the six local government units of the Gippsland region of Victoria. Based on the information supplied from these shires,"31 'senior officers' (including CEOs) were identified. A pre-tested questionnaire was sent to all of them and 19 completed forms (61%) were returned that represented all the six shires. Of these 19 respondents, 16 agreed to be the subject of semi-structured interview. Interview responses clarified many puzzles that arose out of survey data. Empirical findings indicate that the dominant morality pattern is 'neutrality' mixed with the resultselement of the technocratic pattern. Contrary to the view of some observers, the traditional public service values such as non-partisanship, conditional obedience have not disappeared, rather they have been complimented by the addition of such new values as emphasis on results. Serving public interest, managers believe, is not one of their concerns rather is primarily a responsibility of councillors.

description: The paper examines the relationship between employee training and quality management practice by analysing data from a large cross-sectional study of Australian and New Zealand manufacturers. The paper examines two hypotheses that are used to explain the impact of training upon organizational performance the task effectiveness hypothesis and the strategic effectiveness hypothesis. Multiple regression analysis is used to test these hypotheses and to examine the impact of training and quality upon productivity, customer satisfaction and employee morale. Some support is found for both hypotheses of training effectiveness but employee training is found to have a more significant impact upon organizational performance when combined with Total Quality Management. The implications of this finding for the implementation of quality management programs are discussed and some further questions are posed for future research in this area.

description: Fulvic acid (FA) is a natural mineral medicine with a long medical history in folk. However, the active chemicals of FA remain unknown due to its diversity of sources and the complexity of compositions, which have become a bottleneck in quality control and medicinal development. Based on the traditional effect on angiogenesis, FAs from eight different coal sources were prepared and their active fractions were investigated by the CAM model, resulting that most of acetonitrile dissolved parts of these FAs (DFAs) produced angiogenesis effects. Through chemical analysis on DFAs by GC-FID/MS, six shared organic acids with low molecular weights were identified and quantified, which showed the promoting effects on capillary areas, VEGF, b-FGF, and Ang-1 at different degrees. The PCA analysis showed that the five shared organic acids with high recognition are the active chemicals in different sources of FAs which may be responsible for the angiogenesis effects.

Predicting How People Play Games: A Simple Dynamic Model of Choice

description: We use the model developed in Sarin and Vahid (1999, GEB) to explain the experiments reported in Erev and Roth (1998, AER). The model supposes that players maximize subject to their "beliefs" which are non-probabilistic and scalar-valued. They are intended to describe the payoffs the players subjectively assess they will obtain from a strategy. In an earlier paper (Sarin and Vahid (1997) we showed that the model predicted behavior in repeated coordination games remarkably well, and better than equilibrium theory or reinforcement learning models. In this paper we show that the same one-parameter model can also explain behavior in games with a unique mixed strategy Nash equilibrium better than alternative models. Hence, we obtain further support for the simple dynamic model.

description: This paper examines the effect of parental, household and community characteristics on the health of children in China. Of particular importance in our analysis is parental education and unobserved mother level heterogeneity (that affect all children born to the same mother). Our results show that (1) parental education generally has a strong effect on child health and mother's educational attainment generally has a stronger effect on child health compared to father's educational attainment; (2) a threshold level of education (more than primary schooling) has to be attained before parental education starts having a significant effect on child health and (3) failing to account for unobserved heterogeneity generally results in an underestimation of the effect of education on child health. Finally our results are indicative of significant discrimination against girls. Our research findings have important implications for both the family planning program and broader social policies in China.
Flexibly nested production functions: implementation for MONASH
Creators: name: McDougall, R. A.
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This paper describes the implementation for the MONASH model of a scheme for flexible nesting of production functions. The scheme supports substitution in production between different commodities and between commodities and primary factors, which the standard ORANI production system does not. Thus it supports more flexible functional forms than standard ORANI. More importantly, this treatment supports not just a single functional form but a wide variety of functional forms, built up by the nesting of CES aggregator functions. The number of CES aggregator functions, their membership, and the depth of nesting are all arbitrary. These features of the nesting structure are now specified not in the theoretical structure in the database. Thus the production structure can readily be modified to meet the special requirements of individual applications. We illustrate the use of the flexible nesting treatment with an application to inter-fuel and energy-capital substitution.
HOGLEX Demand Systems and Welfare Policy in Major ASEAN Developing Countries: A Bayesian Analysis Using Expenditure Unit Records

description: The HOGLEX demand system (Tran Van Hoa (1983, 1985)) is integrable and flexible in the sense that it is based on utility maximization and encompasses most other well-known demand systems (e.g., LINEX, AIDS) in the literature on consumer behaviour (Laitinen et al. (1983)). HOGLEX studies to date have been based on conventional OLS or MLE methods and panel aggregate income and price data, and restricted to investigating consumption patterns. The paper elaborates on three important subsets of the HOGLEX demand system and, using household expenditure unit records from two major ASEAN developing countries (i.e., Thailand and the Philippines), estimates by the Bayesian method these subsets for 20 socio-demographic cohorts, and discusses their substantial implications in social security and welfare policy analysis. We also estimate the models in the more practical case of measurement errors in total expenditure and compare the results with those without measurement errors.

description: The current study examines one aspect of the entrepreneurial process: Decision-Making Style. Based on the extant research literature, a new instrument, the Entrepreneurial Decision-Making Inventory, was developed. Questionnaires were distributed to 578 Victorian New Enterprise Incentive Scheme (NEIS) graduates who had completed business training and established businesses before 1994, resulting in 255 useable responses. Factor analysis of the data indicated three distinct dimensions in the instrument: Convergent, Divergent, and Inventive Decision-Making Style. Measures of entrepreneurial success included income, number of employees and survival in business. The results indicated that entrepreneurs who survive the establishment phase appear to utilise a significantly different style of Decision-Making from respondents who are no longer in business. Also, the instrument could be used to differentiate between growth and non-growth businesses, and could assist in the selection and training of potential entrepreneurs. The implications of the findings for entrepreneurial performance are considered and areas for future research are identified.

description: Weight loss and malnutrition among advanced PD patients might be explained by lower food intake, mediated by fewer mouthfuls per meal and more severe tremor symptoms. Our results indicate that interventions to reduce tremor symptoms and to prompt advanced PD patients to take more mouthfuls have the potential to be clinically useful in protecting against unintentional weight loss and malnutrition. Additional data collection might facilitate the creation of early, eating-based, behavioral tests for the evaluation of the disease’s trajectory.
Reassurance, regret and uncertainty: testing ex ante sources of (dis)utility and the welfarist account of social welfare
Creators: name: Richardson, Jeff
name: McKie, John
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This paper considers an issue that has received little attention in the literature on health state evaluation: the relevance of the ex ante/ex post distinction in the assessment of quality of life. Ex post evaluations are based on experience of the health state being evaluated. Ex ante evaluations are made in anticipation of actually experiencing the health state, and are able to capture sources of pre-outcome (dis)utility such as anticipatory fear, anxiety, hope and dread. Which perspective should be used for economic evaluation? From the welfarist perspective it might be argued that ex ante evaluations should be used, because all sources of utility are relevant. From the extra-welfarist perspective it might argued that ex post evaluations should be used, because economic evaluation should be based solely on realised outcomes, at least in the context of a publicly financed health service. We sought the views of the Australian public on this issue. Using social willingness to pay questions, we asked respondents to select between alternative health services which either did, or did not, take pre-outcome sources of utility into account. Respondents were asked whether or not tax payers should pay a higher price for services that increased pre-outcome utility, and for which patients would be prepared to pay personally. They were also asked whether they would accept less spending on other health services for services that increased pre-outcome utility. The results indicated little support for welfarism. Of respondents, only 32.6 per cent would accept an increase in taxes for everyone to provide a service preferred by patients for its reassurance. Only 29.8 per cent would accept an increase in taxes to provide a service preferred by patients for its minimisation of potential for regret. Less decisively, 43.1 per cent would accept an increase in taxes to provide a service preferred by patients for its avoidance of uncertainty. On average, only 28.6 per cent of respondents would accept less spending on other health services to provide these services. The implications of these findings for economic evaluation studies are, first, that the Australian community does not believe that the purpose of its publicly financed health system should be to increase utility as defined by private willingness to pay and, second, that the gold standard for health-state measurement should elicit ex post evaluations from patients, not ex ante evaluations from the public.

De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions.

description: This paper develops two models to study the impact of outsourcing on wage inequality between skilled and unskilled labor in the developed country and the developing country. The first model assumes symmetric production technologies in both countries, and predicts that outsourcing will increase wage inequality in the developed country, but decrease wage inequality in the developing country. The second model assumes asymmetric technologies in the production of the intermediate good and predicts that outsourcing can lead to an increase in wage inequality in both the developed country and the developing country.

description: The increased use of contracting for service delivery involves new challenges in ensuring that quality is maintained. Performance monitoring involves both efficiency (costs) and effectiveness (quality) measures, however, there is little guidance from the literature to indicate the best approaches in different contexts. This paper reports on an exploratory study in which approaches to performance monitoring, and respondents' views on best practice, were explored in contracted services. Key findings are that organisations rely on inspections by their own employees or contractor checklists, but that these practices are in conflict with their views on best practice. However, the respondents were agreed that performance monitoring does have a large effect on quality outcomes.
Bayesian Estimation of a Stochastic Volatility Model, Using Option and Spot Prices: Application of a Bivariate Kalman Filter

description: In this paper Bayesian methods are applied to a stochastic volatility model using both the prices of the asset and the prices of options written on the asset. Posterior densities for all model parameters, latent volatilities and the market price of volatility risk are produced via a hybrid Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling algorithm. Candidate draws for the unobserved volatilities are obtained by applying the Kalman filter and smoother to a linearization of a state-space representation of the model. The method is illustrated using the Heston (1993) stochastic volatility model applied to Australian News Corporation spot and option price data. Alternative models nested in the Heston framework are ranked via Bayes Factors and via fit, predictive and hedging performance.

description: The September 11, 2001 attacks in USA were followed by measures that herald major changes in the global business environment and an end to neo-liberal fundamentalism. The State, civil society and business were revealed as interactive and interdependent components of the social system which is strongly influenced by the values of its members. A large majority supports fairness in preference to neo-liberal economic objectives. Accordingly, corporate citizenship can expect to be under stronger pressure from domestic governments and the world community to support democratic practices, ecologically sustainable development, upgraded public health and education programs and effective attacks on corruption.
'What's in a Name?' Naming as a Management Tool in Site Protection

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This paper considers the naming history of indigenous rock art sites in the Grampians Gariwerd National Park in southwest Victoria, Australia. These sites are found to present management problems because many of the names are dysfunctional, and fail as information markers. Rather than contribute to the creation of positive atmosphere and sacralization, many site names have contributed to site vandalism, disfigurement of signage and negative word of mouth promotion. The function of site naming and their role in placemaking is reconsidered from the insights of leading theorists in attraction systems such as MacCannell, Gunn, and Leiper. Naming, it is argued, is a very important management tool in the protection and promotion of rock art tourism.

description: Visible light communications (VLC) can complement Wi-Fi using light from LED or laser as an information carrier. Current VLC systems have small coverage and short range. Interference is also a problem in a VLC network due to small cell size. In this thesis, an engineered diffuser has been used to improve the coverage in a hybrid LED-LD VLC system. A liquid lens has been utilized to design a dynamic field of view VLC receiver to mitigate interference. A 3D indoor positioning system has been presented as a path towards VLC market adoption.

description: This paper conducts a Monte Carlo analysis of the size and power properties of combining choice set partition tests of the IIA property of the Logit model. On the basis of this comparison we recommend that applied researchers testing for IIA calculate all versions of the McFadden, Train and Tye (1981) test and reject IIA if any single test rejects IIA.

A Test for the Difference Parameter of the ARIFMA Model Using the Moving Blocks Bootstrap
Creators: name: Maharaj, Elizabeth Ann
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: In this paper we construct a test for the difference parameter d in the fractionally integrated autoregressive moving-average (ARFIMA) model. Obtaining estimates by smoothed spectral regression estimation method, we use the moving blocks bootstrap method to construct the test for d. The results of Monte Carlo studies show that this test is generally valid for certain block sizes, and for these block sizes, the test has reasonably good power.
Intra-Firm Branch Competition for a Monopolist

description: This paper studies the effect of intra-firm branch competition in a monopoly setting. It demonstrates that intra-firm branch competition has significant impact on the firm's operation decisions, and consequently on market outcome. In particular, under certain conditions, a branch-competitive monopoly supplies higher quality at the same or lower price than a corresponding pure monopoly.

A theory of age-dependent value of life and time

description: A model is constructed to examine how the utility and dollar values of life and time change as one ages, encompassing several previous studies as special cases. If the interest rate is no higher than the depreciation rate (in deriving utility) and also no larger than the sum of the depreciation rate and the growth rate of wage (allowed to be negative) at any age, then the dollar value of life monotonically declines as one ages. The dollar value of life increases first and then declines as one ages, i.e., the dollar value of life over age exhibits an inverted-U shape, if the interest rate is higher than the depreciation rate by a sufficient margin. While the utility value of time may decrease with age (time is more precious for the young), the dollar value of time increases with age if the interest rate is sufficiently higher than the depreciation rate. A distinction is also made between a shift from work to leisure and the value of time (which may not equal to the wage rate) as such with conceptual and policy implications.
The role of entrepreneurial orientation on firm performance and the potential influence of relational dynamism

description: This study examines the usefulness of Lumpkin and Dess' (1996) Entrepreneurial Orientation (EO) construct in measuring performance. A review of four previous exploratory research projects covering different industries in Australia found that the importance of EO dimensions and their relationship with business performance varied between industries. There was a positive correlation between business performance and the dimensions of innovation and proactiveness in all studies. However, the dimensions competitive aggression, risk taking and autonomy varied in importance and over time. The variation in results was partly attributed to the researchers using different definitions for each EO dimension. There was also some contextual bias in dealing with entrepreneurial terms that appeared industry based. All projects identified some limitations in using the EO construct to explain business performance and highlighted issues outside the current dimensions. This review identified that the incidental factors found influencing performance could be categorised as relational in nature and were defined under a construct titled "Relational Dynamism". It is argued that this construct is the conduit between EO and the firm's internal and external environments, assisting in identifying and exploiting opportunities that can improve performance.
Testing conditional asset pricing models: an emerging market perspective

description: The CAPM as the benchmark asset pricing model generally performs poorly in both developed and emerging markets. We investigate whether allowing the model parameters to vary improves the performance of the CAPM and the Fama-French model. Conditional asset pricing models scaled by conditional variables such as Trading Volume and Dividend Yield generally result in small pricing errors. However, a graphical analysis shows that the predictions of conditional models are generally upward biased. We demonstrate that the bias in prediction may be caused by not accommodating frequent large variation in asset pricing models. In emerging markets, volatile institutional, political and macroeconomic conditions results in thick tails in the return distribution. This is characterized by excess kurtosis. It is found that the unconditional Fama-French model augmented with a cubic market factor performs the best among the competing models. This model is also more parsimonious compared to the conditional Fama-French model in terms of number of parameters.

The Relationship Between Internet Use and Cooperative Partnerships in B2B e-commerce

description: A survey has been conducted within Australian organisations using business to business (B2B) e-commerce enabling technologies. The results indicate that there is a strong relationship between the contribution to business performance of cooperative arrangements with both suppliers and customers, and that derived from use of the Internet. At the same time, although extent of involvement in partnerships with both customers and suppliers appear to be complementary, it is less apparent that extent of use of the Internet supports the same relationship. The results also show that the use of multiple stakeholders for the development of Internet strategy is the dominant driver of both implementation and performance. The findings therefore indicate that focus on involvement of multiple stakeholders in formulation of strategies will be more likely to yield better outcomes, rather than a focus on the technologies per se. Technical capacity will determine the ability to extend implementation of Internet based applications across the supply chain, but a broad and coordinated approach to the development of strategy will more likely determine performance outcomes.
