This article ties together the Wood Report dealing with the three Ananda Marga members convicted for conspiring to murder Robert Cameron, leader of the National Front in 1978 with the operation of the State Special Branches and ASIO.
Positivism, Empiricism And Criminology Theory, Don Weatherburn, Mark Findlay
Positivism, Empiricism And Criminology Theory, Don Weatherburn, Mark Findlay
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
The discipline of criminology has been dominated since the turn of the century by an explanatory paradigm' known as 'positivism'. The distinctive features of that paradigm have been both substantive and methodological. On the substantive side 'positivist criminology' has been marked by a commitment to the explanation of criminal behaviour (and deviance generally) in terms of characteristics of the individual. Thus positivist criminology has been notable for its explanations of criminal behaviour in terms of gross bodily features, patterns of child-rearing, genetic defect, and idiosyncratic personality traits. On the methodological side positivist criminology has been marked by a preference for …
Toward A Contingency Model Of Strategic Risk Taking, Inga Skromme Baird, Howard Thomas
Toward A Contingency Model Of Strategic Risk Taking, Inga Skromme Baird, Howard Thomas
Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business
A model of strategic risk taking incorporating environmental, industrial, organizational, decision maker, and problem variables is presented. The model is intended to be both a preliminary conceptualization of strategic risk taking and a stimulant for future research on risk taking in strategic management decisions. Relevant research from a number of disciplines is summarized, and the potential impacts of particular variables on the propensity to take strategic risks are examined.
Academic Self-Government In The United States, Howard Hunter
Academic Self-Government In The United States, Howard Hunter
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
A university is like any other complex institution in that it requires numerous general and particular decisions about the use of its resources and the manner of its operations. Public laws and constitutions as well as the charters, ordinances, statutes and by-laws of the university provide the maps for the distribution of the rights to make decisions which are binding upon members of the university, or, more exactly, those who fill the roles that, taken all together, comprise the university.
"Criminalisation" And The Detention Of "Political Prisoners": An Irish Solution, Mark Findlay
"Criminalisation" And The Detention Of "Political Prisoners": An Irish Solution, Mark Findlay
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
The contemporary crisis in the maintenance of civil order on both sides of the Irish border has initiated unique developments in the "system" of criminal justice within Ireland. The government of the Republic and the administration of the Province have responded to various attacks on their legitimacy by relying on the controls of the criminal sanction, while radically altering the process through which that sanction is applied and accorded its full effect. While denying the political nature of the conflict, these governments have cloaked extraordinary social control measures in the authority of the rule of law. They would have us …

Integrating Zero-Base Budgeting With Management-By-Objectives: An Empirical Inquiry, John Joseph Williams, James D. Newton, Eric A. Morgan
Integrating Zero-Base Budgeting With Management-By-Objectives: An Empirical Inquiry, John Joseph Williams, James D. Newton, Eric A. Morgan
Research Collection School Of Accountancy
Popular arguments in the management literature advocate the implementation congruity and complementarity of zero-base budgeting (ZBB) with an established management-by-objectives (MBO) system. The present study examined management perceptions on 28 ZBB implementation variables for MBO users and non-MBO users which were gathered from 153 managers at two hierarchical levels within a single private sector organization. Results from both univariate and multivariate tests indicate that ZBB implementation was not facilitated by the existence of an MBO system for either lower level management or for upper level management. The evidence obtained here strongly suggests that the purported conventional rationale underlying ZBB coupling …
Impacts Of Robotics And Flexible Manufacturing Technologies On Manufacturing Costs And Employment, Steven M. Miller
Impacts Of Robotics And Flexible Manufacturing Technologies On Manufacturing Costs And Employment, Steven M. Miller
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
The issues analyzed in this paper are the extent to which unit costs and production labor requirements might be reduced in manufacturing industries if there is more widespread use of industrial robots and flexible systems. The analysis is reported in detail in Miller (1983). These issues are analyzed from two different perspectives. The technological focus of the first perspective is narrowly confined to the use of robotic manipulators. It is assumed that robotic manipulators will be “retrofitted” into existing production facilities without making major changes in the organization of production within the factory, other than modifying individual work stations so …
Does Capitalism Infringe Property Rights: A Reply To Peter Morriss, Chandran Kukathas
Does Capitalism Infringe Property Rights: A Reply To Peter Morriss, Chandran Kukathas
Research Collection School of Social Sciences
In a research note on 'How Capitalism Infringes Property Rights' {PoliticalStudies, XXXI (1983), pp. 656-61), Peter Morriss attempts to demonstratethat a Nozickian version of rights theory is incompatible with that account ofcapitalism which emphasizes the importance (and value) of entrepreneurialrisk-taking and entrepreneurial failure. Because bankruptcy is an acceptedconsequence of entrepreneurial failure, capitalism, which condonesbankruptcy, in fact condones the violations of the rights of creditors. Thusthose who, like Nozick, defend property rights as sacred and inviolable, 'shouldbe in the vanguard of capitalism's opponents' (p. 657) Since the rights-basedargument for capitalism is that rights can never be legitimately violated, 'oncethe rights theorist …
Hunger Strikes And The State's Right To "Force Feed": Recent Australian Experience, Mark Findlay
Hunger Strikes And The State's Right To "Force Feed": Recent Australian Experience, Mark Findlay
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
Whether or not it is the nature of the protest itself which makes it unsuitable for resolution in a court-room situation, the case law relating to "hunger strikes" (and State's response) is both sparse and insignificant. Perhaps on the basis of its uniqueness alone, the case of Schneidas v. Corrective Services Commission(New South Wales) and Others should be of particular interest to jurists on both sides of the Irish border.

Variable-rate taxes are being applied with increasing frequency in the US and other countries. However, their effects typically go beyond those that have motivated their use. The formulation of mineral tax policy should take into account the complete list of consequences.-from Authors
A Technological Lifecycle Approach To The Organizational-Factors Determining Gatekeeper Activities, Arnoud De Meyer
A Technological Lifecycle Approach To The Organizational-Factors Determining Gatekeeper Activities, Arnoud De Meyer
Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business
The paper deals with the question whether gatekeepers arise spontaneously (non-hierarchical) or are created by administrative action (hierarchical). The author's approach to the problem relies on the use of a lifecycle model of an organisation devised by Utterback and Abernathy. They distinguish a product-innovation, a transitional and process- innovation (consolidation) phase in the development of an enterprise. The author's hypothesis is that gatekeepers can arise via either route depending on the phase in which enterprise is operating. In the earlier phases the author predicts that gatekeepers will either be absent or non-hierarchical (spontaneous) while in later phases they will be …
Philosophical Hermeneutics And The Analects: The Paradigm Of Tradition, Alan Kam Leung Chan
Philosophical Hermeneutics And The Analects: The Paradigm Of Tradition, Alan Kam Leung Chan
Research Collection College of Integrative Studies
Hermeneutics, as a philosophical enterprise, is not new; it can be traced back at least to Friedrich Schleiermacher (1768-1834) and Wilhelm Dilthey (1833-1911).1 Yet hermeneutics did not reach its philosophical maturity and acquire the worldwide recognition that it deserves until Hans-Georg Gadamer published his magnum opus, Truth and Method, in 1960.2 Here, with the help of Heidegger, hermeneutics is transformed from a general methodology of the "human sciences" (Geisteswissenschaften) into a full-fledged "practical" philo- sophy.3 With Gadamer, as we shall see, hermeneutics can no longer be under- stood as merely a theory of interpretation; rather, it is to be seen …
Demand Response And The Reform Of Indirect Taxes In Pakistan, Ehtishaw Ahmad, Hing-Man Leung, Nicholas Stern
Demand Response And The Reform Of Indirect Taxes In Pakistan, Ehtishaw Ahmad, Hing-Man Leung, Nicholas Stern
Research Collection School Of Economics
The question of the appropriate tax rate for different commodities is important for policy making in a country like Pakistan. This involves not only revenue, which is an obvious and a major preoccupation of most governments, but also concerns the effects of tax changes on households in various circumstances, together with production decisions in many sectors of the economy. In this paper we shall be concerned with a preliminary evaluation of the Pakistan indirect tax system. We shall examine in further work, the analysis of direct taxes, the balance between direct and indirect taxes as well as the effects of …

A Physical Interpretation Of The Maximum Likelihood Estimation Of A Linear Functional Relationship Model, Y. V. Hui, Yiu Kuen Tse
Research Collection School Of Economics
This paper presents a physical interpretation of estimating the parameters of a linear functional relationship model. The estimates are determined from the stable equilibrium position of a mechanical system. It is found that the estimates obtained from the physical model coincide with the maximum likelihood estimates.
A Customer-Oriented Approach For Determining Market Structures, Rajendra K. Srivastava, Mark I. Alpert, Allan D. Shocker
A Customer-Oriented Approach For Determining Market Structures, Rajendra K. Srivastava, Mark I. Alpert, Allan D. Shocker
Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business
A framework for market analysis based on customer perceptions of substitutability-in-use is presented. An empirical application in the financial/banking services market is used to illustrate that when product preferences are dependent on the use/consumption context (especially relevant when products have multiple uses), situational variables can help predictive ability, and hierarchical clusters (requiring exclusive group membership) may be misleading. Additionally, it is shown that interactions among situation, product, and person factors may be more managerially meaningful than the main effects.
Organised Resistance, Terrorism And Criminality In Ireland: The State's Construction Of The Control Equation, Mark Findlay
Organised Resistance, Terrorism And Criminality In Ireland: The State's Construction Of The Control Equation, Mark Findlay
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
Despite the reality of partition that created "two Irelands," comparative analysis of the state's reactions to terrorism in the Province and in the Republic is rare. The struggle over reunification, which permeates society on both sides of the border, is usually viewed by the populist press not from the Irish viewpoint, but rather from the perspective of the British government. Given this bias, organized resistance -- most notably in the North of Ireland -- is represented as an assault on a majority-supported state. Because the legitimacy of the state under attack is rarely questioned, and the motivations for the resistance …

Robotic Realities: Near Term Prospects And Problems, Robert U. Ayres, Steven M. Miller
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Industrial robots are automation, but with a difference. Other machine tools are extensions of human capabilities, while robots are seen mainly as substitutes for human workers. Robots will find most of their industrial applications during the next decade or two in the metal-working sectors, where they will begin to displace semiskilled machine operatives in medium to large batch production operations. They cannot substitute for skilled machinists or other workers doing nonroutine jobs, or specialized, dedicated hard automation used in mass production. The current generation of robots, lacking sensory data processing and interpretation capabilities, can potentially replace up to 1.3 million …
Curriculum, Pedagogy, And The Constitutional Rights Of Teachers In Secondary Schools, Howard Hunter
Curriculum, Pedagogy, And The Constitutional Rights Of Teachers In Secondary Schools, Howard Hunter
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
American schools have served as battlegrounds for competing social policies for generations. Major national disputes have centered on racial problems, busing, and federal funding. Local debate continues over curricula, teacher competence, pedagogical methods, textbooks and library books, discipline, and such trivial matters as hairstyle. Nationally, the current debates about school prayer and tax credits for the payment of private school tuition have consumed the time and resources of numerous individuals. These disputes show no sign of abating. Teachers are the most significant participants in the educational process. Their work involves those activities--speaking, writing, and questioning--that constitute the core values protected …
Layoffs, Wages And Unemployment Insurance, Kenneth Burdett, Bryce Hool
Layoffs, Wages And Unemployment Insurance, Kenneth Burdett, Bryce Hool
Research Collection School Of Economics
The influence of unemployment insurance on wage and layoff behavior is analyzed in the context of optimal labor contracts. Responses of contract terms to changes in economic parameters are shown to depend in general on the nature of the initial contract, the degree of workers' risk aversion, and the resolution of bargaining conflict. Layoffs are not necessarily reduced by an increase in experience rating or a reduction in the UI benefit. Product demand fluctuations tend to induce procyclical employment fluctuations but not wage fluctuation. An implication of optimal contracts with private insurance suggests a reason for government intervention in UI …
Jury Vetting: The Jury Under Attack, Peter Duff, Mark Findlay
Jury Vetting: The Jury Under Attack, Peter Duff, Mark Findlay
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
The English jury has recently been undergoing various alterations. These changes have their roots in assumptions, often not clearly identified, about the nature and purpose of the jury within the criminal justice system. Once the purpose and ideals of the jury system are identified, and there may be arguments about what they are,' it becomes apparent that there may be a conflict about how they should be put into practice. The state and its agencies may take one view whilst others may differ. An example of one such conflict is the controversy over the newly discovered practice of 'jury vetting'.

Jury Trial In Singapore And Malaysia: The Unmaking Of A Legal Institution, Andrew B.L. Phang
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
THE main task of this article is to inquire into the reasons for the general decline and final abolition of the jury system 1 in Singapore.2 It also seeks to discover why the decline and fall of a major legal institution aroused so little public debate, let alone outcry. To this end, the focus must necessarily be historical, but, in the context of a nation still in the process of discovering its legal heritage, it is hoped that the account which follows will contribute in some small way towards the development of our legal
Federalism And State Taxation Of Multistate Enterprises, Howard Hunter
Federalism And State Taxation Of Multistate Enterprises, Howard Hunter
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
This article began to develop in my mind during the fall of 1981 when I read the Supreme Court's opinion in Commonwealth Edison Co. v. Montana,1 as I was preparing notes for my first year constitutional law class. I was trying to determine how best to present to novices the sometimes dry and often confusing materials onthe Commerce Clause, and Commonwealth Edison, at first blush, seemed to be a good case to use with National League of Cities v. Usery2 to discuss the scope of permissible federal action under the Commerce Clause and the concomitant limitations on state action also …
Stare Decisis In Singapore And Malaysia: A Sad Tale Of The Use And Abuse Of Statutes, Andrew B.L. Phang
Stare Decisis In Singapore And Malaysia: A Sad Tale Of The Use And Abuse Of Statutes, Andrew B.L. Phang
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
A study of the cases and literature with regard to stare decisis in Singapore and Malaysia will reveal at least one salient characteristic - the propensity, primarily of the Courts, to misread statutes and twist them (whether inadvertently or otherwise) in order to justify a particular conclusion. Ironically enough, at the end of the day, similar (though not identical) conclusions could have been reached without the need to resort to any particular statutory provision. In this short article, I shall not endeavour to retrace ground already well covered by others, but will set out, in rather summary form, further reflections …

Mapping Strategic Management Research, Howard Thomas
Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business
During the last two decades, in particular, there has developed a substantial body of literature in the fields of strategic management, strategic planning, corporate and business policy, and related topics. This literature owes much to the prior writings of Alfred Chandler [10] and the decades of case writing and research undertaken at Harvard Business School by many learned professors. Indeed, Harvard's tradition of leadership in this field dates from 1914 when it first introduced a course requirement for business policy into the business school program. The term strategic management is of relatively recent origin [49] and is currently the accepted …

Vertical Linkages And Multinational Enterprises In Developing Countries, Linda Y. C. Lim, Eng Fong Pang
Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business
Many studies have concluded that multinational firms do not create significant technical and other vertical linkages in developing host countries. This case study of three multinational firms in the export-oriented electronics industry in Singapore shows that under certain conditions multinational firms can lead in creating local vertical linkages. It suggests that restrictive government policies to increase local purchases may not be necessary, effective or desirable in promoting local linkages by export-oriented multinational firms that respond primarily to international market conditions. The Singapore experience poinst to the importance of a healthy investment climate and rapid economic growth in encouraging multinational firms …
Believing The Self-Contradictory, John N. Williams
Believing The Self-Contradictory, John N. Williams
Research Collection School of Social Sciences
Clearly, if a man holds a self-contradictory belief, then his belief cannot be rational, for there can be no set of evidence sufficient to justify it. This is most apparent when the self contradictory belief is a belief in a conjunction, (e.g., a belief that p & ~p), rather than when it is a non-conjunctive self-contradictory belief, e.g. a belief that red is not a color.
