Knowledge Brokering And Organizational Innovation: Founder Imprinting Effects, David Hsu, Kwanghui Lim
Knowledge Brokering And Organizational Innovation: Founder Imprinting Effects, David Hsu, Kwanghui Lim
Kwanghui Lim
We empirically examine the innovation consequences of organizational knowledge brokering, the ability to effectively apply knowledge from one technical domain to innovate in another. We investigate how organizational innovation outcomes vary by founders’ initial mode of venture ideation. We then compare how firms started with knowledge brokering-based ideation differ in their methods of sustaining ongoing knowledge brokering capacity as compared to firms not started in such a manner. We do so by tracking all the start-up biotechnology firms founded to commercialize the then-emergent recombinant DNA technology (the sample of initial knowledge brokers) together with a contemporaneously founded sample of biotechnology …
Emerging Concepts For Implementing Strategy, Graeme Cocks
Emerging Concepts For Implementing Strategy, Graeme Cocks
Graeme Cocks
Being a winning organisation in Australia has little to do with charismatic leaders, seeking great breakthrough ideas, rolling out precise mission statements or creating the perfect organisational structure. This paper draws on recent research into eleven organisations that have been high performers over the 25-year period from 1982 to 2007. The research has identified nine timeless elements of success that are highly relevant to service, manufacturing, not for profit and public sector organisations of all sizes. High performance is defined as taking a balanced scorecard perspective covering financial, customer and market performance, service and internal efficiency and long term growth, …

The Financial Crisis, Investor Activists And Corporate Strategy: Will This Mean Shareholders In The Boardroom?, Graeme Cocks, Jens Mueller, Coral Ingley

The concept of stakeholder engagement is gaining increasing attention in the mainstream media and may feature as part of a corporation’s strategy for corporate social responsibility. Not only are boards considering how they might engage with key stakeholders, but stakeholders are also pursuing greater participation in the strategic decisions of companies in which they invest. While this is an emerging concept in companies governed by unitary boards, as in North America, the issue of stakeholder engagement in various forms is also entering debate in other countries around the world. In general, however, the idea of shareholder or stakeholder representation on …
Simply An Unintended Consequence Of Innovation, Peter Cebon
Simply An Unintended Consequence Of Innovation, Peter Cebon
Peter Cebon
This Op-Ed argues that the financial meltdown can be understood as an example of a systems accident, as first described by Charles Perrow. Innovations in the financial system increased interactive complexity, increased coupling, and increased the extent of mis-matches between the financial system in reality and the financial system that the regulators thought they were regulating.
Growing Indigenous Arts Leadership, Michelle Evans
Growing Indigenous Arts Leadership, Michelle Evans
Michelle Evans
The arts inspire and express the many cultures and societies of the world. They reflect the spectrum of the spirit, from the inspirational to the darkness of humanity. The arts and culture in Indigenous communities function on many levels – as tradition, as expression, as story - song, - dance, and as an economic activity. Through the arts, Indigenous communities link the past, present and future. The Indigenous arts and cultural sector is vibrant, complex and the site for much consideration of the leadership artists and arts managers play in Indigenous cultural and economic development.
This paper aims to explore …
Exact Confidence Bounds For The Risk Ratio In 2x2 Tables With Structural Zero, Chris J. Lloyd, Max Moldovan
Exact Confidence Bounds For The Risk Ratio In 2x2 Tables With Structural Zero, Chris J. Lloyd, Max Moldovan
Chris J. Lloyd
This paper examines exact one-sided confidence limits for the risk ratio in a 2x2 table with structural zero. Starting with four approximate lower and upper limits, we adjust each using the algorithm of Buehler (1957) to arrive at lower (upper) limits that have exact coverage properties and are as large (small) as possible subject to coverage, as well as an ordering, constraint. Different Buehler limits are compared by their mean size, since all are exact in their coverage. Buehler limits based on the signed root likelihood ratio statistic are found to have the best performance and recommended for practical use.
Efficient And Exact Tests Of The Risk Ratio In A Correlated 2x2 Table With Structural Zero, Chris Lloyd
Efficient And Exact Tests Of The Risk Ratio In A Correlated 2x2 Table With Structural Zero, Chris Lloyd
Chris J. Lloyd
For a correlated 2x2 table where the (01) cell is empty by design, the parameter of interest is typically the ratio of the probability of secondary response conditional on primary response to the probability of primary response, also known as a risk ratio. It is common to test whether or not the risk ratio equals one. One method of obtaining an exact P-value is to maximise the tail probability of the test statistic over the nuisance parameter. It is argued that better results are obtained by first replacing the nuisance parameter by its profile estimate in the calculation of its …

Teaching Leadership Critically To Mbas: Experiences From Heaven And Hell, Amanda Sinclair
Amanda Sinclair
This research takes a frank look at the teaching of leadership. It compares the author’s positive and negative examples of teaching the same leadership material or curriculum and examines the various factors—teacher’s role, institutional factors, student mindset, learning techniques and circumstances—that influenced the outcome. It also provides a detailed explanation of effective ways of teaching leadership experientially and from a critical perspective —what works and what doesn’t.
