Toolkit For Managing Virtual Teams, Grace Mccarthy
Toolkit For Managing Virtual Teams, Grace Mccarthy
Sydney Business School - Papers
Leaders in multi-national organisations have to work with team members in many different locations, with few if any face to face meetings. This poses problems for leaders used to working face to face. This article briefly reviews the literature, finding some consensus that leadership is significant in managing virtual teams but that the practices adopted by leaders need to be adapted, that trust is one of the key predictors of success, and that technology and training also help improve performance of virtual teams.
Australia And The 'War Against Terrorism': Terrorism, National Security And Human Rights, Mark Rix
Australia And The 'War Against Terrorism': Terrorism, National Security And Human Rights, Mark Rix
Sydney Business School - Papers
This paper considers whether in the ‘war against terrorism’ national security is eroded or strengthened by weakening or removing the human rights of the individuals who constitute the polity. It starts with the view that national security is, at its most fundamental, founded upon the security and liberty of the person from criminal and violent acts, including terrorist attacks. Such attacks, and the individuals and groups who perpetrate them, constitute a grave threat to the peace and security of nations the world over and thus endanger the security and liberty of the individuals who make up their populations. Governments are …

Sydney Business School - Papers
This paper will consider the record of the Australian Government in supporting and promoting the work of state and territory Legal Aid Commissions and community legal centres.

Beginning in 1997 with the decisions of the Government to cease funding Legal Aid Commissions for matters falling under state and territory law and to implement purchaser-provider funding arrangements for the …

Toward The Interoperability Of Hl7 V3 And Snomed Ct: A Case Study Modeling Mobile Clinical Treatment, Amanda Ryan, Peter Eklund, Brett Esler
Sydney Business School - Papers
Semantic interoperability in healthcare can be achieved by a tighter coupling of terminology and HL7 message models. In this paper, we highlight the difficulty of achieving this goal, but show how it can become attainable by basing HL7 message models on SNOMED CT concepts and relationships. We then demonstrate how this methodology has been applied to a set of clinical observations for use in the ePOC project, and discuss our findings.
Renewable Energy Strategies In England, Australia And New Zealand, Geoff Kelly
Renewable Energy Strategies In England, Australia And New Zealand, Geoff Kelly
Sydney Business School - Papers
The development of renewable energy sources is of prime interest to many countries seeking to pursue greenhouse gas emission reduction obligations. The increased use of renewables offers the possibility of not only contributing to emission reduction, but at the same time improving energy supply diversity and security, and developing employment and business in related supply industries. Two main mechanisms are in common use, one a quota (quantity) instrument often associated with tradable certificates, and the other a prescribed pricing mechanism. This paper considers the renewable energy development strategies of three countries (the UK, Australia, and New Zealand) all using a …
