title: The management of managers: Challenges in a small economy

authors: Gilbert, John

subjects: chief executives

abstract: The purpose of this paper is to discuss the findings of a study of the management of senior managers. The aim is to describe the ways in which firms in a small economy, such as New Zealand, manage their managers and analyse how they deal with the strategic challenges that are involved.

title: Probability exploration in a game context: The dice difference game

authors: Sharma, Sashi

abstract: Overview of lesson
Learning about probability poses difficulties for students at all levels. In this lesson students are asked to make predictions about the fairness of a dice
difference game and then test them by gathering and examining data. Student predictions and conclusions are examined and re‐examined in interactions among small group members and whole class or group and teacher. This lesson also addresses some common misconceptions relating to probability of simple and compound events.
Learning objectives
• Deriving and comparing experimental estimates with theoretical model probabilities for two‐stage experiments (e.g., tossing two dice)
• Generating and comparing experimental probabilities from multiple samples
• Comparing experimental probability estimates with theoretical probabilities calculated from generating the sample space for the game and using theoretical probabilities to solve problems relating to “fair games”
• Conducting investigations using the PPDAC cycle from a probabilistic perspective
Suggested age range
With modifications, the game can be used with 11 to 14‐year‐olds.
Time required
Two 60‐minute lessons may be required for the main part of the investigation.

title: Ki te kapu o taku ringa - In the palm of my hand

authors: Hill, Rodrigo

subjects: Mātauranga Māori

abstract: This publication accompanies the launching of our exhibition 'Ki te Kapu o Taku Ringa - In the Palm of My Hand' at the Ōtorohanga Museum in June 2024.
The title is taken from a line of King Tāwhiao's song-poem 'Maioha mō Waikato'. Ejected from their homelands he and his Waikato brethren took refuge with their Maniapoto relations in Te Nehenehenui; parts of which are mentioned in the song-poem. Teh 'maioha' was composed expressing King Tāwhiao's love for his homelands, and his solastagic holding fast to those lands '...in the palm of his hand.'
