Inter-Firm Collaboration In Australian Telecom Market, Aimee Zhang, Charles Harvie
Faculty of Commerce - Papers (Archive)
The Australian telecommunications market is a typical mature market in a developed country. This paper gives an overview of the Australian telecommunication market’s development, industry structure, major components and contributions, major firms, key government agencies and organizations in this market. The history and development process of the Australian telecommunications market is, like most telecom markets in the world, one from monopoly to limited competition, from state ownership to market driven and from closed to open. To study inter-firm collaboration types, benefits, and barriers, a qualitative interview was conducted to collect real industry data from different sectors. Face-to-face interviews were adopted …
Minding The Gap(S) In Australian Spectrum Law, Benoit P. Freyens
Minding The Gap(S) In Australian Spectrum Law, Benoit P. Freyens
Faculty of Commerce - Papers (Archive)
Achieving efficient spectrum management in the pursuit of the public interest was a key aspect of the legislative reforms enacted through the Radiocommunications Act 1992. However, the Act is unclear about the precise nature of the efficiencies to achieve and choices between different efficiency objectives are often dictated by the nature of the services, bands and market considered. This article argues that efficient spectrum policy can be furthered by crafting additional licensing regimes or expanding the possibilities of existing regimes. Despite successes in moving towards this goal, some legal rules still feed a pool of ‘licensing gaps’ that detract from …
Mean Reversion And Structural Breaks In The Australian Dollar Real Exchange Rate, Muhammad K. Chowdhury
Mean Reversion And Structural Breaks In The Australian Dollar Real Exchange Rate, Muhammad K. Chowdhury
Faculty of Commerce - Papers (Archive)
This paper examines mean reversion in the real exchange rate index of Australia in the presence of structural breaks from 1984:1 till 2009:2. Conventional unit-root procedures have low power when structural breaks in data are ignored. The null hypothesis is examined using a minimum Lagrange Multiplier unit-root test that allows for breaks in level and trend. This unit-root test with two structural breaks is invariant to the magnitude of the breaks. We were able to reject the unit-root null hypothesis and find evidence of mean reversion and hence PPP with structural break points. This is a startling finding reversing results …

This paper investigates factors conducive to the development of Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) innovation in the context of the adoption and use of electronic collaboration technologies (eCollaboration), to enhance business growth, competitiveness and future economic viability. A change from competition to collaboration is an imperative for many firms today. The current economic climate is one reason why firms should work together, but more driving than this are the ubiquitous effects of globalisation. Australian firms are facing fierce competition from many overseas nations which have the advantage of cost effective labour. Businesses must transcend from attitudes of competing to attitudes …
