The paper examines 370 participants’ experience with one well-established organizational embodiment of the ‘triple helix’ - the Australian Cooperative Research Centres program - considers its effect on researchers and organizations in the public research system and draws management and policy implications.

This paper offers a re-interpretation of the drivers of structural change in Australia from federation until the outbreak of World War II. The broad story of structural change is that manufacturing increased its relative share of both output and employment while the share of the farm sector and mining contracted. The large tertiary sector, including construction, oscillated around its mean. The conventional wisdom is that these shifts were largely the result of government policy, particularly the increase in trade barriers that stimulated import substitution by manufacturers. However, if the unit of analysis is the firm rather than the economy then …

This paper employs all quarterly time series currently available to determine endogenously the time of structural breaks for three monetary aggregates—the long- and short-term interest rates as well as the consumer price index—in Australia using the ZA (Zivot and Andrews, 1992) test and the LP (Lumsdaine and Papell, 1997) test. After accounting for the single most significant structural break, the results from the ZA test (model C) provide no evidence against the unit root null hypothesis for all series examined. However, when two structural breaks are incorporated in the testing procedure within the framework proposed by LP (i.e., model CC) …

There is a growing policy focus in Australian higher education on quantitative research performance assessment. However, most of the analysis has addressed aggregate performance at the institutional level, an approach inconsistent with recent policy emphasis on diversity among universities, and one that ignores performance variations across disciplines. We use cluster analysis to classify one of the ten broad fields of education, that is, management and commerce. Using averaged and available data for 2000-2004 on various research measures, partial rankings are provided. Factor analysis is utilised to generate full-multidimensional rankings within the resulting clusters. Our results show that low total research …
