Counter Terrorism And Access To Justice: Public Policy Divided?, Mark Rix
Counter Terrorism And Access To Justice: Public Policy Divided?, Mark Rix
Sydney Business School - Papers
This paper will consider the manner in which Australia’s counter-terrorism strategy has been operationalised, highlighting the implications of its strategy for access to justice. Access to justice, encompassing the ability of individuals, including persons suspected of terrorism offences and non-suspects, effectively to exercise their human and legal rights, can be an important curb on state power. But, in another equally important sense, providing individuals with access to justice also protects national security by helping to ensure that the law enforcement and security agencies focus their efforts on genuine terror suspects rather than wasting their resources on investigating and prosecuting genuine …

Analysing Beef Supply Chain Strategy In Australia, The United States And The United Kingdom, Ferry Jie, Kevin Anthony Parton
Analysing Beef Supply Chain Strategy In Australia, The United States And The United Kingdom, Ferry Jie, Kevin Anthony Parton
Sydney Business School - Papers
The purpose of the paper is to apply recently developed methods to compare and contrast the operation of beef supply chains in Australia, the US and UK. This comparison reveals aspects of the supply chains that are a consequence of their respective contexts, including resource endowments in the various countries. The market structure is a critical factor in determining optimal supply chain configurations. As a consequence, a lean approach to SCM is more likely to succeed in Australia than in the other two countries.

Identifying Sources Of Perceived Environmental Uncertainty Along Thai Rice Supply Chain, Ferry Jie, Phatcharee Thongrattana
Identifying Sources Of Perceived Environmental Uncertainty Along Thai Rice Supply Chain, Ferry Jie, Phatcharee Thongrattana
Sydney Business School - Papers
Uncertain factors cause to generate any unstable processes along supply chains, and then also reduce supply chain performance. Some sources of uncertainty of agri-food supply chains are distinct from general supply chains such as variable harvest and production yields, and a huge impact of climate conditions. Thus, it is crucial to deeply understand which distinct perceived uncertain factors in agri-food supply chain that can affect to its management and its performance in order to allow agribusiness to deal with these effects properly. The purpose of this study is to discuss the perceived environmental uncertainties in the context of rice supply …
Links Are Not Enough: Using Originality Reports To Improve Academic Standards, Compliance And Learning Outcomes Among Postgraduate Students, Grace Mccarthy, Ann M. Rogerson
Links Are Not Enough: Using Originality Reports To Improve Academic Standards, Compliance And Learning Outcomes Among Postgraduate Students, Grace Mccarthy, Ann M. Rogerson
Sydney Business School - Papers
Training students on the interpretation of originality reports generated by an electronic evaluation tool can assist with the reduction of unintentional plagiarism. An initial trial by the Sydney Business School, a postgraduate faculty of the University of Wollongong, has demonstrated that a proactive approach, based on pedagogical principles, can have a positive impact on the improvement of student writing skills when compared to a retributive justice approach reliant on a student’s ability and initiative in accessing internet support resources. This paper argues that higher education should not rely on links to internet based information, policies, and systems, to educate students …
Framework Of Entrepreneurial Orientation And Networking: A Study Of Smes Performance In A Developing Country, Amie Kusumawardhani, Grace Mccarthy, Nelson Perera
Framework Of Entrepreneurial Orientation And Networking: A Study Of Smes Performance In A Developing Country, Amie Kusumawardhani, Grace Mccarthy, Nelson Perera
Sydney Business School - Papers
SMEs with higher levels of Entrepreneurial Orientation (EO) have been found to perform better than those, which lack such orientatiol1. The dimensions of EO, namely autonomy, innovativeness, risktaking, proactive, and competitive aggressiveness contribute to firm performance independently. However, these EO dimensions are considered insufficient for the SMEs to enter global markets. Due to their limited resources and lack of knowledge as well as access to foreign markets, SMEs in developing countries (such as in Indonesia) that participate in international business have to possess the capability to establish networks. Networking also provides firms to gain access to resources that they do …

The actions and responses of these two agencies, and the subsequent judicial inquiry are reviewed in the light of the media‟s role and press coverage as the case unfolded.
Reconfiguration Of Operational Relationships Post The Current Global Economic Crisis, Lee Styger
Reconfiguration Of Operational Relationships Post The Current Global Economic Crisis, Lee Styger
Sydney Business School - Papers
It is likely that classical models of strategic alliances may not be applicable moving forward into the new world economy post the current economic crisis. Traditional business models have considered each part of the business process in isolation, typically finance is remote from new product development, product development is remote from supply chain and operations etc. Prior to the economic crisis it was not unusual to see typical traditional silos within an organization never meeting, posing the question that if internal relationships were never fully forged how could a strong external strategic alliance be built and maintained? Furthermore, this silo …
Where Have All The Designers Gone?, Lee Styger
Where Have All The Designers Gone?, Lee Styger
Sydney Business School - Papers
For many years we have heard the call for more design professionals and, importantly, more recognition and certification within the sector. However, the recent global financial crisis has had catastrophic effects on the availability of design resources. Typically, significant downsizing has occurred and design and development professionals have been the first to go. In an effort to save money many companies have adopted a strategy based on extending current product life cycles, as opposed to stimulating depressed markets with new products. Some commentators are suggesting that the downturn has gone as low as it will and the upturn is just …
Service Brand Relationship Matrix: Brand Strategy For Services, Kaleel Rahman, Charles S. Areni
Service Brand Relationship Matrix: Brand Strategy For Services, Kaleel Rahman, Charles S. Areni
Sydney Business School - Papers
Brand architecture is a set of interlinked building blocks reflecting the levels of branding, from higher level corporate brands to lower level product sub-brands, and the linkages amongst them (Uncles et al., 1995). For example, not only is the powerful linkage between Nestle and its sub-brand KitKat synergistic but also the association of each benefits the image of the other. Little research has been done to understand branding decisions at the sub-brand level in services sector. The branding of sub-brands in services has been implicitly assumed to be either identical to the branding of sub-brands for physical goods, or simply …
Brand Architecture For Business Schools: Is The University Or The Benefactor The Brand?, Zullina H. Shaari, Charles S. Areni
Brand Architecture For Business Schools: Is The University Or The Benefactor The Brand?, Zullina H. Shaari, Charles S. Areni
Sydney Business School - Papers
This research highlights the branding strategies employed by the top 30 business schools listed in the Financial Times Global MBA Rankings 2008. Based on a content analysis of brand elements and website content, each business school is classified according to Aaker and Joachmisthaler's (2000) brand relationship spectrum. Results indicate that these business schools adopt brand architectures across the relationship spectrum, but certain regional differences are apparent. In addition, business schools associated with prestigious universities tend to emphasise the university brand, whereas those named after a benefactor are more likely to emphasise the school brand.
Flogging In Blogs: What Drives Customers To Vent Their Complaint Experiences Online?, Zuraidah Sulaiman, Charles S. Areni, Rohan Miller
Flogging In Blogs: What Drives Customers To Vent Their Complaint Experiences Online?, Zuraidah Sulaiman, Charles S. Areni, Rohan Miller
Sydney Business School - Papers
This research refers to dissatisfied consumers posting negative complaints on blogs as "flogging". It qualitatively content analyses the complaints flogged on a non-commercial website, and highlights all complaint channel breakdowns as experienced by both offline and online shoppers. The "open and axial coding" technique with no a priori categories is initially used and followed by "focused coding" where more data are analysed to further refine the categorization and definition of themes. The underlying themes or types of complaint channel failures obtained shed understanding on existing problems faced by consumers with regards to complaint handling management.
Financial Development And Economic Growth In Sri Lanka, Nelson Perera, Ramesh Chandra Paudel
Financial Development And Economic Growth In Sri Lanka, Nelson Perera, Ramesh Chandra Paudel
Sydney Business School - Papers
This study investigates the causal relationship between financial development and economic growth in Sri Lanka over the period 1955 to 2005. After considering the time series characteristics of six measures of financial development, Johansen cointegration and the appropriate Error Correction Model are used to investigate the causal relationship between financial development and economic growth. The findings suggest that broad money causes economic growth with two-way causality. The major finding of this study does not strongly support the view that financial development boosts economic growth.
The Relationship Between Social Capital And Tacit Knowledge, Karen Yuan Wang, Ferry Jie, Kai-Ping Huang
The Relationship Between Social Capital And Tacit Knowledge, Karen Yuan Wang, Ferry Jie, Kai-Ping Huang
Sydney Business School - Papers
Social capital has evolved from an interdisciplinary standpoint. Recently, interests over it have been instigated by entrepreneur literatures because of the arising need to understand its contribution to quality of resource-based management, specifically knowledge-based resources, which provides a great possibility for a successful firm performance. Nevertheless, knowledge and information, just like social capital, are multidimensional in sources and consequences. Scholars have differentiated between tacit and explicit knowledge to clearly present their argument that these two types of knowledge fit various networks of social relations for optimal performance. Therefore, an in-depth investigation of the correlation between social capital and tacit knowledge …

Enhancing The Reusability Of Inter-Organizational Knowledge: An Ontology-Based Collaborative Knowledge Management Network, Joshua P. Fan, Nelson K Y Leung, Sim K. Lau
Enhancing The Reusability Of Inter-Organizational Knowledge: An Ontology-Based Collaborative Knowledge Management Network, Joshua P. Fan, Nelson K Y Leung, Sim K. Lau
Sydney Business School - Papers
Researchers have developed various knowledge management approaches that only focus on managing organizational knowledge. These approaches are developed in accordance with organizational KM strategies and business requirements without the concern of system interoperation. The lack of interoperability means that heterogeneous Knowledge Management Systems from different organizations are unable to communicate and integrate with one another, this results in limitation to reuse inter-organizational knowledge. Here, inter-organizational knowledge is defined as a set of explicit knowledge formalized and created by other organizations. In this research, a collaborative inter-organizational KM network is proposed to provide a platform for organizations to access and retrieve …
The Live Monitoring Of Carbon Emissions For Sustainable International Trade And Exchange, Lee Styger
The Live Monitoring Of Carbon Emissions For Sustainable International Trade And Exchange, Lee Styger
Sydney Business School - Papers
There is growing hypothesis that, following the current economic crisis, carbon trading will kick start the stock markets once again and that carbon is a new “commodity” albeit now being traded in a traditional way. This carries several disadvantages; the most pressing being that “if you can’t measure it then you cannot improve it”, rendering any audit meaningless as a real improvement measure and resulting in the view that carbon trading is merely another form of taxation. This paper will discuss the options of live monitoring and recording of trade waste resources and offer a framework for viable trading of …
The Universal Colour Grid: Colour Research Unbiased By Verbal Labels And Prototypical Hues, Charles S. Areni, Catherine Sutton-Brady
The Universal Colour Grid: Colour Research Unbiased By Verbal Labels And Prototypical Hues, Charles S. Areni, Catherine Sutton-Brady
Sydney Business School - Papers
Colour research in marketing, particularly as it relates to branding, is limited by reliance on verbal labels to identify and categorise colours. For example, discussing associations with the colour "green" for branding food products makes little or no sense because numerous relevant associations would depend on the specific shade of green used (i.e., mint, lime, organic, etc.). Cultural differences exacerbate these issues. Kelly green might evoke national pride, religious devotion, a major sporting event, or a political party, depending on which part of the world one is collecting data. The Universal Colour Grid (UCG) is a new method in the …
