EXECUTIVE DEAN’S REVIEW

COMMERCE 2010

In 2010, UOW was recognised for being Number 1 in Teaching and is placed in the top 2% of the world’s universities. Commerce has contributed to these findings through our award-winning academics and our award-winning researchers.

We have continued to teach socially responsible commerce, giving students grounding in one of the biggest issues facing business today. In addition to the sound discipline base of our programs, we also teach our graduates about responsible decision-making, care for the environment and care for the wellbeing of mankind.

Focusing on the student experience, some restructuring occurred within the Faculty to maintain the highest level of student satisfaction across all programs.

Our Internship Program continues to grow from strength to strength placing 95 students in over 30 organisations. High-profile employers from the region and Sydney gained access to our best and brightest students to participate in the program. These industry connections are invaluable to the students to experience real-life business scenarios.

Through a range of activities, we are committed to ensuring our community engagement connects the Faculty with the region. By working with low socio-economic students and their families, the Indigenous community and schools in regional areas, we aim to build student aspirations for tertiary education and beyond, by allowing them to explore the possibilities and opportunities at University.

‘Connecting with Commerce’ shows the vitality of our research projects to tackle crucial issues. Working with

industry, business and the government, we have achieved great success in securing research projects with significant funding. We also increased higher degree research student numbers by introducing an integrated four-year doctoral program that assists students to reach the level of research training necessary to complete the subsequent three years of thesis work.

With this in mind and with an eye to the future, we remain focused on our high quality teaching and research standards and provide a world-class student learning experience to remain highly competitive for the deregulated environment in the future.

Professor Trevor SpeddingDean of Commerce

program is a potential solution for the academic leadership crisis that Australia may face in the future.

The Faculty’s Research Strength, Institute for Innovation in Business and Social Research (IIBSoR), was awarded $1.46 million to investigate improving market segmentation methodology. IIBSOR also helped secure over $1 million dollars in new grants for the year. Overall Research Income was up 69% compared to 2009.

Commerce held steady for international enrolments in 2010, despite the downturn in international student enrolments across the sector. To help us prepare for the future, we appointed Associate Professor Gary Noble as Associate Dean (Business) to develop and maintain strategic partnerships Offshore and Onshore for the Faculty of Commerce and the Sydney Business School.

We identified course options opportunities for the future student market and worked strategically with industry and our Commerce Advisory Board to develop two new Degrees, the Bachelor of Business and a Bachelor of Economics and Finance to be launched in 2011.

‘Connecting with Commerce’ is a snapshot of the achievements of the Faculty’s students, academics and general staff. As we move forward, I anticipate meeting the challenges of the tertiary education sector and evolving with it.

Professor John GlynnExecutive Dean (Business)

In a global economy requiring graduates to have developed critical thinking skills, we have continued throughout 2010 to provide relevant and industry driven content in all our programs. In the Australian Graduate Survey in 2010, 85% of our students obtained full time work within their first year of graduating. We are proud of our achievement in 2010 and continue to ensure our Faculty is World Class.

We have made a number of transformations within Research with the appointment of Professor Simon Ville as the Associate Dean (Research).

An Australian First Initiative, PROPEL was developed by the University of Wollongong’s Social Innovation Network and led by the Faculties of Commerce and Education. The

TEACHING AND LEARNING

Key achievements in Teaching and Learning in 2010 included significant progress in aligning our courses to the Faculty vision. In 2010 the Faculty undertook curriculum reviews of eight specialised coursework Master programs. As well, socially innovative commerce course content was developed as part of the revised Bachelor of Commerce degree.

Innovations in teaching development remained a priority for the Faculty’s academic staff. An OCTAL Award was presented to Dr Venkat Yanamandram, who was also a participant in the Program for Preparing Early Leaders (PROPEL) initiative, along with the Sub Dean, Mr Ron Perrin, who took part as a mentor (see page 13). Faculty Teaching and Learning Grants were awarded to Dr Ted Watts, Belinda Parrish, and the team of Dr Jennifer Algie, Lisa Simmons, Dr Corinne Cortese, Tina Mak, Dr Martin O’Brien and Lesley Simes. Associate Professor Michael Zanko and Dr Jan Turbill were awarded an Australian Learning and Teaching Council (ALTC) Grant.

Quality students were a key focus. 2010 saw an increase in the number of enrolments for the Dean’s Scholars program – 58 new enrolments for 2010. Commerce enjoyed a 22% increase in early entry applications compared to 2009. There were 47 sponsored prizes awarded to our top students in recognition of academic excellence (see pages 8 and 9).

The Sub Dean’s Unit created a probation database to track students on referral and probation status. The Faculty also introduced a reporting framework for the attainment of graduate qualities, in order to ensure that the curriculum aligns with the qualities graduating students possess.

TEACHING AND LEARNING TEACHING AND LEARNING

Edging into Study

The inaugural Everyone Deserves Great Education (E.D.G.E) Day took place on 15 October. Its aim was to enhance the prospects of young high school students in achieving a university education.

Students in Year 7 from local high schools participated in a jam-packed day with campus tours and present-ations from current students. They also took part in the creation of a larger-than-life artwork, which has become a permanent fixture within the UOW Commerce building.

Public Relations (PR) students studying at the Faculty of Commerce developed and created the E.D.G.E. event

in conjunction with the UOW Office of Community and Partnerships.

We gave the task to the students to come up with an event that incorporated inspiring learning. Within two months, they organised a large-scale event that is dedicated to showing young high school students that University education is achievable and relevant to them.

Dr Lois Burgess

The PR students raised money for the E.D.G.E. Day, bypassing their set goal of between $5000 and $6000 by a considerable amount, in the end achieving a total of just under $9000. On the day, a cheque for $4000 was handed to the PCYC to assist with youth work in the Illawarra.

In 2010, the Commerce Faculty organised and participated in 48 events to support recruitment, orientation and celebrating students achievement.

A number of new events were added to the calendar, including Uni for a Day with Moorefield Girls High School, Commerce-specific Postgraduate Information sessions, a Year 6 Discovery Day, a Business Partners Breakfast, a Wollongong College information session and a specific TAFE to Uni event held at UOW Southern Sydney campus. Through these events, the Faculty is able to showcase our commitment to our students, business partners, the community and industry.

DEAN’S MERIT AWARDS

The Faculty of Commerce held its annual Dean’s Merit Awards Ceremony on Thursday, 20 May 2010.

This year there were 153 Wollongong University Commerce students recognised for their high achievements – the most awarded since the inception of the awards over ten years ago. (See picture below.)

Over 260 people attended the Commerce Student Awards Ceremony on Thursday 29 April 2010 held at the City Beach Function Centre. Business sponsors, staff, students and their guests came together to recognise and celebrate the achievements of Commerce students throughout the 2009 academic year. Twenty-seven local businesses provided a financial bonus to accompany the awards for outstanding effort. The Dean presented 50 awards to over 100 Commerce students.

STUDENT AWARDS

Early entry for prospective students has proven a great success for the Faculty, allowing HSC students to earn a place in one of our Bachelor degrees before sitting for their final exams. On Friday 8 October 2010 an early entry celebratory event was held to formally congratulate students who were successful in gaining early entry to the Faculty of Commerce. More than 300 high-achieving students were offered guaranteed entry to study Commerce through the program. Celebrating this achievement were over 600 guests, comprising students and their parents along with general and academic Commerce faculty staff.

Drs Kathy Rudkin and Lois Burgess toast one of the early entry candidates on her success

In 2010, the Commerce Internship Program placed 95 students into 30 partner organisations. Our students have been excellent ambassadors for the Faculty of Commerce and have achieved both professional and personal development:

The internship program is a great experience. Sixteen days is long enough to understand the ‘real world’ and be able to focus on your own projects. What I learnt at Southern Districts is invaluable – no lecturer or tutor can teach you real-life experience.

For the first time, in Spring 2010, feedback was provided to all eligible candidates on their written applications and, where applicable, their first interview. We believe that embedding quality through feedback and has increased the educational value of applying for an internship. Potentially every candidate is now better prepared to apply for work with or without having been accepted into the Internship Program.

When Sterg Ayeni started with Wollongong City Council, as part of the Faculty of Commerce Internship Program, he never thought he would be part of one of the biggest events on the region’s calendar.

“I was working in Community Services when they asked me if I would be interested in spending some time in Cultural Services,” said Sterg. “Around that time, Viva la Gong was ramping up and they needed assistance with publicity for the festival – I readily agreed to help. I was doing everything from writing articles, media releases and generally aiming to get as much publicity as I could for the event.”

The event, which was held over one weekend in November, was a huge success and this can be attributed to the communication strategy that Sterg helped to implement.

“I got to have a feel of what it is like to plan for a community focused event, learnt how to liaise in order to harness the synergy of teamwork, improved my communication skills and learnt to write professional media releases while having fun,” said Sterg.

Sterg, originally from Lagos, Nigeria, came to UOW to learn key marketing and management business skills. Having completed his Commerce Internship as well as a contract with the NSW Department of Commerce and a Certificate IV in Business Marketing and Advertising, Sterg hopes to work for a Fortune500 company someday, but initially plans to start up his own marketing consultancy firm where he can implement the things he has learnt from all of his work, study and internship experiences.

INTERNSHIP PROFILE: STERG AYENI TEACHING AND LEARNING

The PROPEL initiative (Program for Preparing Early Leaders) was developed by the University of Wollongong’s Social Innovation Network and led by the Faculties of Commerce and Education. PROPEL, an Australian first, is a one-year intensive leadership program that will train academics from across the country to be effective and capable leaders to ensure a prosperous future for the tertiary education sector. The program is a potential solution for the academic leadership crisis that Australia may face in the future, through the aging of personnel within the sector and the slow regeneration of the academic workforce that results.

PROPEL Project Leaders, Professor of Marketing and IIBSoR Director Sara Dolnicar, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) Professor Rob Castle and Professor Wilma Vialle (Education) believe the program is an important step in developing future academic leaders who can use the skills learned throughout their career.

“There is much evidence to suggest there will be a shortage of leaders in our Universities in the future so it’s important to be proactive and develop a comprehensive leadership program that can be used as a model in other universities in Australia and around the world,” said Professor Dolnicar.

PROPEL

“We believe that our training program will have high impact because it gives academics opportunities to develop their skills and confidence before they are faced with real leadership challenges. Most leadership training is done the other way around – become a leader first and then learn about leadership sometime later.”

An academic participant in the program, Dr Venkat Yanamandram from the School of Management and Marketing, is looking forward to the year-long program.

“I feel that attaining high level leadership roles will be an important factor in the advancement of my academic career path. Participation in the PROPEL Program will assist me in this area of career development by cultivating my skills, perspective and confidence in leadership activities. The program brings together multiple aspects of leadership development,” said Yanamandram.

“In the long-term, I would like to undertake a strategically important role (teaching leadership and/or governance at the University-level), well grounded in credible teaching and research outcomes, and be able to balance an academic leadership role with administrative leadership demands.”

PROPEL is funded by the Australian Teaching and Learning Council.

SUB DEAN’S UNIT


The Sub Dean’s Unit in the Faculty of Commerce provides students with advice and information on many aspects of the University Rules and Regulations as well as information relating to their Commerce and Double degree. In 2010, the Faculty had two Sub Deans, Mr Ron Perrin and Ms Nadia Verrucci. This Unit would not be able to do its job without the excellent assistance of administrative staff located in Commerce Central, and Casey Potter in particular.

Sub Deans carry many responsibilities, including:

• reviewing and monitoring the progress of all students within the Faculty;

ALUMNI PROFILE: RICARDO GONCALVES

Commerce alumni Ricardo Gonclaves graduated in 2001 with a Bachelor of Commerce majoring in Marketing and Economics.

Ricardo had a passion for the media industry. Renowned journalist Paul Barry suggested he study Business and Finance because there was a shortage of business journalists. Ricardo took this advice, and embarked on a Bachelor of Commerce at UOW.

Ricardo’s role at SBS is as a presenter and journalist for the World News Australia covering a range of topics from business to world news events.

As a journalist, there is no doubt that the economics major helped me. I specialised in areas like health care economics and labour force economics at the University. As boring as it might sound, when the unemployment numbers come out or the stockmarket fluctuates, I know exactly what I am talking about, which is definitely beneficial for a business journalist. The theory that I learnt has formed the basis and provided the background I need for quality reporting.

The University has an extremely good reputation in terms of the subjects that can be studied and also the very high graduate employment rates. I have a lot of friends in a range of different industries both here and overseas so it’s great to see there are a lot of different options when you study a Bachelor of Commerce at UOW.”

BREAKING NEWS• running a system for counselling students, including students whose results and/or progress towards a degree/diploma are not satisfactory;

• where appropriate, monitoring and supervising the student advisory and schools’ liaison services of the Faculty;

• liaising, as appropriate, with the Dean of Students on matter related to students; and

• mediating where differences arise between students and academic units.

The Sub Dean’s Unit can assist students with course and subject advice as well as provide information about and permission for such matters as advanced standing, changing a major and applying for academic consideration.

RESEARCH

Commerce PhD candidate Yot Amornkitvikai in the Faculty’s Research Wing, an ideal

working space dedicated to higher degree research students.

2010 has been a year of change and substantial progress for research in Commerce. Professor Simon Ville became the new Associate-Dean Research, while the roles of existing members of the Faculty Research Unit were restructured to focus more clearly upon supporting the research activities of the Faculty. An entirely new website was completed at the end of the year — www.uow.edu.au/commerce/research/.

This website provides clear and up-to-date information on the research expertise of faculty members and centres, and also information about resources and procedures for actual and intending research students. Additionally it offers regular features on individual staff and higher degree students. The new site will signal to potential research students and collaborators the range of high quality researchers working in the Faculty.

As a result of discussions towards the end of the year, newly commencing research students will each now be provided with their own laptop – which will improve research portability for students moving between university, home, fieldwork and conferences. Through policy changes introduced in 2010, the Faculty ensures that academic staff have time to commit to the

important task of supervising and mentoring research students.

2010 also witnessed the introduction of a four-year integrated doctoral program to sit alongside the traditional three-year degree. The integrated program provides for a first year of coursework to help students reach the level of research training necessary to complete the subsequent three years of thesis work.

These various improvements and developments may help to explain the large increase in research students commencing in 2011.

The Faculty continues to play host to a series of productive research centres and a University research strength, the Institute for Innovation in Business and Social Research (IIBSoR). There were many research achievements to celebrate in 2010 – new international collaborations, publications in top international journals, and competitive grant successes. Of particular note was the award of a Queen Elizabeth II Fellowship (QEII) to Professor Sara Dolnicar (see page 20). We look forward to continuation of high standards of research performance across the Faculty in 2011.

Professor Simon Ville assumed the vital role of Associate Dean Research in 2010 after Professor Sara Dolnicar took on a new role as Director of the Faculty’s first Research Strength, the Institute for Innovation in Business and Social Research (IIBSoR). Simon has been Head of the School of Economics for most of the period since his appointment as Professor at UOW in 2001. Specialising in Economic History, Simon has been a Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences of Australia since 2006, and President of the Economic History Society of Australia and New Zealand since 2004. In 2003 his work in the field won him the prestigious Bruce McComish Prize in Economic History.

RESEARCH PROFILE: SARA DOLNICAR RESEARCHWhen the Minister for Innovation, Industry Science and Research, Senator Kim Carr, announced the 2010 Australian Research Council (ARC) Discovery Scheme Grants in Canberra in November, one of the University of Wollongong recipients gained the single highest amount awarded to any of the overall 922 grant proposals.

UOW won 25 Discovery Projects grants and three Linkage Project Scheme grants worth more than $10.6 million. Professor Sara Dolnicar from the Faculty of Commerce and Director of the Institute for Innovation in Business and Social Research (IIBSoR) was awarded $1.46 million.

Her project will investigate improving market segmentation methodology.

Businesses embrace market segmentation to identify and target clients. However, poor segmentation analysis leads to poor segment choice. “Our project develops tools to improve segmentation analysis,” Professor Dolnicar said. “We will test the resulting toolbox in tourism, foster care and climate change mitigating behaviours, and produce usable, transferable recommendations.”

As part of the grant, Professor Dolnicar was also awarded a Queen Elizabeth II (QEII) Fellowship that provides opportunities for established researchers to undertake research of national and international significance.

QEII fellowships encourage research in Australia by postdoctoral graduates of exceptional promise and proven capacity for original work. No QEII has ever been awarded to a marketing researcher since the ARC Discovery Grant Scheme was introduced in 2002.

I am very excited to be awarded this grant. It gives me and my research colleagues the opportunity to investigate many of the unresolved problems with market segmentation analysis which seriously threaten the validity of segmentation analysis conducted for businesses and used by businesses to make long-term strategic decisions.

Professor Sara Dolnicar

Dean of the Faculty of Commerce, Professor Trevor Spedding, said the grant was a significant contribution for the Faculty of Commerce and the University. “This is the biggest grant the Faculty has received from the ARC and really puts Australia on the map for business innovation research,” he said.

Institute for Innovation in Business and Social Research (IIBSoR)

2010 was a productive year for the Institute for Innovation in Business and Social Research (IIBSoR). Established as a University of Wollongong Research Strength in late 2009, IIBSoR has quickly cemented its position through quality research, substantial grants, prestigious awards and high-level publications.

Business and social research is only useful to organisations and policy makers when the results are valid. The IIBSoR team ensures this by developing and testing innovative and reliable qualitative and quantitative methods and measures for business and the social sciences in order to increase the validity of research results. Through the team’s unique expertise and knowledge within this area and by collaborating

with a range of academic partners, businesses and organisations, IIBSoR has emerged as a leader in its field.

This has helped secure over $2.6million in new grants for twelve new projects in 2010, adding to already existing grants and ongoing research projects. IIBSoR members served on a number of editorial boards and international journals, and contributed to thirteen different books. With its 21 primary members and nine associate members, the Institute has strong international relations and networks, which has resulted in 52 journal publications, including 14 papers in A* and A-ranked journals such as Proceedings of the IEEE, Tourism Management, Applied Economics, Journal of Sustainable Tourism, Marketing Letters, and Water Research.

Highlights for 2010 are the grant successes of IIBSoR director Professor Sara Dolnicar (see page 20), and an Australian Research Council (ARC) Future Fellowship awarded to IIBSoR member Associate Professor Joseph Ciarrochi. Professor Dolnicar’s QEII fellowship will be used to develop market segmentation tools that allow businesses to better identify and target clients both in the commercial and non-profit sectors. Associate Professor Ciarrochihe plans to use his Future Fellowship in the research program titled “A longitudinal study into the development of personal vulnerabilities and well-being in adolescence”.

New partnerships and collaborations which commenced in 2010 include representing UOW in the new Alliance for Supply Chain Innovation, an initiative which will shape the national research agenda for supply chain innovation, collaborating with other institutions such as Monash, Curtin, RMIT, Victoria University and the CSIRO; teaming up with BlueScope Steel to launch a new simulated learning and training program to understand alternative supply chain configurations; and an invitation for members to join a select panel of research advisors for Tourism Australia.

Other key projects throughout the year include developing an analytical approach to be used to profile customer behaviour; the PROPEL program (see page 13); understanding the factors that influence retaining skilled migrant women; marketing methods for identifying, attracting and retaining successful foster parents; and understanding how the internet is used in the travel planning process.

Activity Theory Usability Laboratory (ATUL)

ATUL was established in 2001 as the Activity Theory Usability Laboratory. It has recently undergone a process of re-definition, expanding its focus (and giving its acronym a new meaning) into Activities, Tools, Usability and Learning as part of the People and Organisation Research Centre (see page 32). Its research is organised under the following brands (or service areas):

ATULens: tools to help businesses collaborate, grow and innovate

ATULab: methods for evaluating the usability of systems

ATULearn: expanding and distributing our knowledge.

Under the ATULens brand, ATUL facilitated focus groups, using the Zing Groupware system, with the Wollongong City Council and at the NTEU Green Conference. Work was begun in the area of crowd-sourcing – setting up two wikis: the Carbon Wiki and the Health Services Wiki. Funding applications were made to ARC Discovery (in the top 25% of those who missed out) as well as to ADAP, NSST, the Climate Change Adaptation Research Centre.

Under ATULab, usability tests have been conducted as part of several research projects. Members tendered for a project to assess the ASIC website for usability and accessibility.

The ATULearn theme saw the graduation of two ATUL HDR students, Yan Qi and Lina Hashim. Friends of ATUL, a network of past ATUL members and students,

was set up and is now being regularly maintained. An international group of graduates and other Friends of ATUL was set up using LinkedIn.

In 2010 ATUL held one Activity Theory Workshop at Wollongong and two virtual meetings using the Access Grid. ATUL welcomed two overseas visitors during 2010: PhD graduate Dr Mira Kartiwi from the International Islamic University Malaysia and Professor Lutz Kolbe from the University of Göttingen.

The Centre for Applied Systems Research (CASR)

During 2010, CASR members have published five journal articles, five book chapters, five fully-refereed conference papers, and edited proceedings and an edited special issue of a journal and an industry report. The large number of chapters this year has been a result of our work in the 2009 SInet Conference where this Centre successfully coordinated a session on ‘Communication and Collaboration’. Chapters that resulted in the 2010 eBook of the conference included topics as diverse as developing a framework for making sense of social innovation, virtual communities for carers of children with disabilities, collaborative authoring and learning, and developing web systems for eGovernment.

Activities that have involved CASRs members include: • the successful proposal for creating IIBSoR, which

was authored by Sara Dolnicar, Tim Coltman,

Rodney Clarke and Lois Burgess;

• the creation of a registered research project with the Spatial Analysis Laboratory in the Faculty of Earth and Environmental Studies, which led to the development of a registered project with the SMART Infrastructure Facility – the first for the Faculty of Commerce – called the ‘Transport Journey Appraisal Mapping Project’.

• the supervision of nine PhD and Master of Research students, and one Honours student.

Of particular note for the Centre has been the outstanding work of Julie Francis, who won both a highly commended award and an outstanding paper award from the Emerald Literati Network for separate sole authored journal articles for Managing Service Quality and the Journal of Services Marketing. Associate Professor Rodney Clarke delivered a paper detailing an approach to the combinatorial design of services at the prestigious ‘Frontiers of Service Conference’ sponsored by the Service Research Center (CTF) Karlstad University Sweden, Center for Excellence in Service at the University of Maryland USA, the American Marketing Association (AMA) and INFORMS Service Science at Karlstad Sweden in June. He also co-edited proceedings of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Special Interest Group on Pragmatics – an area he is helping to define that involves the use of communication theory to understand work and the systems that support it. Professor Patrick Dawson and colleagues edited a special issue for the International Journal of Technology Management. Our Honorary Professorial Member, Professor Anders

The Centre for Human and Social Capital Research (CHSCR)

The CHSCR was established in mid 2006 with the objective of fostering high quality research into issues that involve aspects of human and social capital. Members of the CHSCR are actively engaged in collaborative and individual research, on topics such as education, health, household-time allocation, innovation, labour markets, poverty and inequality, productivity, and social-capital networks.

During 2010, the Centre contributed to the provision of appropriate software, research assistance for several projects and a small pool of funds for miscellaneous research expenses.

The CHSCR hosted two highly successful one-day research workshops, featuring high calibre speakers with national and international reputations in their fields. The ‘Frontiers in Human Capital Research’ Workshop featured keynote speakers Professor Joshua Angrist from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Professor Bob Gregory (ANU). The Wellbeing Conference brought together researchers

inception and has completed a number of successful projects for the Department of Defence and for BlueScope Steel. Its activities include applied research with industry partners, as well as commercial research including contract research and consulting. Since July 2008, The Centre’s Director, Dr Peter Massingham, has been working on an ongoing Australian Research Council Linkage Project with the Department of Defence titled ‘Measuring and Managing the Impact of Lost Organisational Knowledge’ – a large-scale longitudinal study that aims to transform a part of the Royal Australian Navy into a learning organisation via a series of research interventions and associated workplace activities over a three-year period. It is is due for completion in September 2011.

The Centre for Research in Socially Responsible Marketing (CRSRM)

During 2010, the Centre for Research in Socially Responsible Marketing (CRSRM) emerged from what was formerly known as the Centre for Social Marketing and Non-profit Research. The name change reflects the wider range of research areas the new Centre seeks to cover, as it more broadly looks into the role of marketing and how it can achieve positive outcomes for society in ethical, social and environmental contexts.

Centre personnel were awarded two research grants in 2010. Dr Elias Kyriazis and Dr Alan Pomering were awarded a UOW Community Engagement Grant to

RESEARCHinvestigate strategies for reducing the incidence of cancer in people with mild intellectual disabilities by providing information and resources for early detection and cancer prevention. Associate Professor Gary Noble and Dr Alan Pomering were awarded a Faculty Research Grant in order to extend their work in the area of public service advertisements aimed at changing individual attitudes and behaviour in the area of energy conservation and climate change.

CRSRM also joined with the Centre for Applied Systems Research on two research projects:

• Working to create cost-efficient methods of identifying client needs and developing new service offerings for not-for-profit organisations, and

• Examining potential virtual communities for people with disabilities.

CRSRM’s Higher Degree Research students explored such topics as donation behaviours of corporations towards not-for-profit organisations, ways of more effectively introducing marketing thinking into charities, and the impact of Socially Innovative Commerce education on students’ understanding of and response to corporate social responsibility. Student investigations completed include:

• The role, responsibility and influence of parents on the driving behaviour of young people, and

• Factors that motivate or de-motivate young people with sexually abusive behaviours and their families to seek help: a social marketing perspective.

RESEARCHDr Shaun Powell was represented on various editorial boards, and guest edited for a number of international journal special-editions.

The Centre for Small Business and Regional Research (CSBRR)

CSBRR achieved a number of significant academic outcomes during 2010. In collaboration with Beijing Information Science and Technology University, Beijing, China, the Centre for Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) Studies, Senshu University, Japan, and the Centre for Excellence, Universiti Teknology, MARA, Malaysia, CSBRR organised the ‘7th SMEs in a Global Economy Conference’, at the Crowne Plaza Convention Centre, Kuching, Malaysia, 15–17 October 2010. This is an annual conference which was initiated by CSBRR in 2000. There were over 100 participants at the conference with keynote addresses by Professor Robert Blackburn, Kingston University, UK, Dr Michael Schaper, Deputy Chair of the Australian Consumer and Competition Commission, and Associate Professor Charles Harvie (CSBRR). (See picture on page 30.)

CSBRR financially assisted three Higher Degree Research (HDR) student members to attend the ‘7th SMEs in a Global Economy’ conference, where they presented papers based on outcomes from their doctoral research.

During 2010, CSBRR members were successful in obtaining research funding for various projects.

Associate Professor Charles Harvie, Associate Professor Abbas Valadkhani and Dr Guy West obtained funding of $15,000 from the UOW University Research Centre (URC) Partnership Grant Scheme, relating to the further development of the Illawarra Input-Output model. Charles Harvie also received a $12,000 funding grant from the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA), Jakarta, Indonesia to complete a project on Integrating small and medium enterprises into the more integrated East Asia economy. The same body awarded him a further $12,000 to participate in a project concerned with SME Access to Finance in Selected East Asian Economies.

Finally, CSBRR student member, Viet Le Cong Luyen, graduated with a PhD in December 2010.

Chinese Commerce Research Centre

During 2010, the members from the Chinese Commerce Research Centre (CCRC) won a prestigious Chunhui research grant from the Ministry of Education in China as well as other international research funding for travel and accommodation for research collaboration with colleagues in China.

CCRC members also published a number of articles in highly-ranked journals in 2010. A joint paper with Associate Professor Gary Tian, Dr Jerry Cao from Singapore Management University and doctoral student Xiaofei Pan, ‘Disproportional Ownership and Pay-performance Relationship’, was accepted in 2010 and

30 31

RESEARCHsubsequently published in Journal of Corporate Finance (2011) 17 (3), 541–554, an ERA ranked A* journal. Another joint paper between Associate Professor Gary Tian, Professor Michael Lemmon from the University of Utah, Dr Jerry Cao and Xiaofei Pan, “Political promotion, Managerial incentives and the relationship between pay-performance”, won the Best Paper Award in Corporate Finance from Financial Management Association. Associate Professor Tian and Dr Shiguang Ma published articles in the journals such as Journal of Asian Pacific Economy (ERA ranked A) and Accounting and Finance (ABDC ranked A journal).

The Centre invited Dr Cao to give a seminar in the School and work on several different research projects during August 2010. Associate Professor Li Donghui from the University of NSW was also invited to participate in the Centre’s PhD students’ research presentation in September.

HEDGE continued to focus on the analysis of interrelated issues in health economics, environmental and resource economics, development economics and growth economics with state-of-the-art optimal control and econometric methods. Some of the Centre’s projects have been developed in collaboration with the Asian Development Bank Institute and with scholars from the University of California at Berkeley and the University of Central Florida at Orlando. Studies undertaken by members have generated thirty-two publications, including four refereed articles in ERA A-rated journals and five refereed articles in ERA B-rated journals.

Marketing Research Innovation Centre (MRIC)

The Marketing Research Innovation Centre (MRIC) aims to develop new methods of measurement and analysis in business and social research. MRIC is involved in a wide spectrum of projects, ranging from purely theoretical work (such as improving brand image measurement) to application areas of high national benefit (such as identifying demand-driven ways of achieving more sustainable tourism, identifying ways to best attract more foster parents, and determining how Australians could be motivated to conserve more water). Most research projects were funded through the Australian Research Council.

In 2010, members of MRIC won four competitive grants totalling more than $1.5 million, published seven manuscripts in A* or A ranked journals and served on a number of editorial boards of ranked international journals.

People and Organisation Research Centre (PandO)

2010 was a productive year for PandO in its third year as a Faculty Strategic Research Direction. The Centre strengthened its status as a cohesive and successful research unit and continued to direct its attention and energies to confirming the Centre focus on “emergence, change and precarious systems”. This focus recognises that the Centre’s research is often carried out in dynamic and uncertain environments, and within organisations that must be adaptable, flexible and forward-thinking to survive.

PandO continues to promote research excellence through funding collaborative research leading to external competitive grant applications and/or high ranked journal publications. In 2010 the Centre celebrated the success of Dr Karin Garrety and her team in being awarded an ARC Discovery grant awarded for work seed-funded by PandO for data collection in previous years (see sidebar on page 33). Other developing collaborative projects included:

• a joint venture with Wollongong City Council involving Associate Professor Andrew Sense,

Associate Professor Helen Hasan, and Associate Professor Sam Garrett-Jones; and

• a project involving Dr Christopher Sykes, Dr Peter McLean, Professor Patrick Dawson and Associate Professor Michael Zanko working with two community organisations, Illawarra Retirement Trust and Greenacres using an approach based on storytelling to study change.

Research supported by PandO has resulted in A ranked publications, grants and HDR completions for those researchers already mentioned together with other members: Dr Anne Vo, Dr Michael Jones, Dr Mario Fernando, Associate Professor A.B. Sim and Professor Mary Barrett. PandO members value the mentoring, collegial environment and mutual support provided by the Centre.

Social Accounting and Accountability Research Centre (SAARC)

SAARC is a node within the SInet research network. SAARC researchers explore the role of accounting in its socio-political context, and its impact on organisations and society. In 2010 SAARC fostered and encouraged research and strengthened a research culture within the School of Accounting and Finance. In particular, this has been achieved by:

RESEARCH

In 2010 Senior Lecturer Dr Karin Garrety (School of Management and Marketing) received an ARC Discovery grant totalling $90,000 over three years for her project, “Generating insights for the future: A retrospective, comparative study of attempts to implement large-scale electronic health record systems.” Dr Garrety is Chief Investigator along with Professor Ian McLoughlin (Monash University) and Dr Ping Yu (Faculty of Informatics). Andrew Dalley (Illawarra Division of General Practice) and Robert Wilson (Newcastle University, UK) are partner investigators. The project is a retrospective, comparative study of five attempts to set up regional and national systems for sharing electronic health records in Australia and Britain. The purpose is to learn from the mistakes and successes of the past, so that complex technology projects such as these can be better managed in the future. Regional and national systems for sharing electronic health records have the potential to improve the quality of health care. However, their development and implementation have been hampered by competing organisational interests, complexity and controversy among users. The researchers will use a framework that facilitates analysis of multiple contexts of use, and the different modes of argument used to promote and question new systems to compare five implementations in Australia and Britain. The aim is to identify and investigate sources of delay and tension, as well as future opportunities for collaboration and progress. Outcomes will be applicable to other large public interorganisational systems that collect, share and use sensitive data.

2010COMMERCE 2010

2010 saw progress with the Faculty of Commerce’s Indigenous Strategy, the aim of which is to become an Indigenous-friendly environment. The Faculty has led the way in introducing new strategies to Welcome and Acknowledge Country. The Faculty understood that Commerce was not a traditional discipline of study for Indigenous students and that it required a committed strategy to engage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. It therefore undertook a series of engagement initiatives designed to assist in the building of a genuine two-way relationship with the local Aboriginal community, and thereafter facilitating the exchange

of the cultural knowledge needed to understand the most appropriate ways of creating an environment that was conducive to attracting, supporting and retaining Indigenous students.

The Faculty’s Indigenous Strategy Working Party identified the following initiatives as appropriate ways to break down barriers, engage and exchange knowledge on how the Faculty of Commerce could become a more culturally safe and friendly environment for Indigenous Australians. These initiatives included:

• Regular meetings with Elders: Staff members associated with the Indigenous Strategic Working Party attended differing Elders gatherings and engaged in conversations and building rapport and trust.

• Meeting with key Elders and Cultural Knowledge holders: Consultative meetings were held around the cultural needs and understanding required by the Faculty to establish a connection with the Aboriginal Community.

• Connecting Koori Commerce Students: A one-to-one mentoring program where Indigenous students were partnered with Faculty staff.

• Acknowledgment of Dharawal Country on signage: Major directional signs within building 40 (Faculty of Commerce) to display ‘Acknowledgement of Dharawal Country’.

PARTNERSHIPS ANDENGAGEMENT

INDIGENOUS STRATEGY

The Faculty is committed to fostering relationships between the Faculty and the wider community. Working with not-for-profit organisations on specific projects, business-sponsored student awards, student career development through the Internship Program, and the establishment of research partnerships between businesses and UOW researchers are all part of the Faculty’s strategy of social engagement.

• Koori Kids Fun Day: Engagement day with local Koori kids and their families around sporting activities, local sports stars and cultural activities. It was run by the Faculty of Commerce in partnership with the University Recreation and Aquatic Centre (URAC), with sponsorships from Wollongong Lions Club, UniCentre and KidsUni. The children were predominantly from the Department of Education and Training’s determined disadvantaged schools within the Illawarra.

• Mural – Agulia: Commissioned piece of art that relates a local story of the Wodi Wodi people designed by local Aboriginal artists and incorporating handprints of kids in attendance on the Koori Kids Fun Day.

• Digital Acknowledgement of Dharawal Country: a short film created to share the meaning of the connection and relationship Dharawal people have with their Country.

• Acknowledgment of Dharawal Country Protocols booklet: A set of guidelines to assist and support in the proper use of the digital Acknowledgment of Dharawal Country was finalised and printed in 2010. The project was undertaken by Jade Kennedy, Theresa Hoynes and Susie Pratt, with the assistance of the UOW Office of Community and Partnerships, the Woolyungah Indigenous Centre and the Faculty of Commerce Indigenous Strategy Working Party, in consultation with the local Illawarra Aboriginal Community.

PARTNERSHIP AND ENGAGEMENT

INDIGENOUS KIDS FUN DAY

More than 60 primary school children attended the Indigenous Kids Fun Day on 17 January. The children participated in sporting and creative art activities, culminating with the painting of a mural – “Agulia” – designed by local Aboriginal artists and subsequently hung in the Faculty of Commerce building.

Jade Kennedy, the Faculty’s Indigenous Project Officer, said the local children needed to develop a sense of belonging with the University.

One day they may be back as a student and after that, possibly an employee. Although it’s a fun activity day, it’s important to remember that there is a deeper message about community and learning behind it.

The Indigenous Kids Fun Day was part of a Community Engagement Grant awarded to the Faculty. The aim of this project was to engage with the local Indigenous community as a way of providing insight into the meaningfulness of Country, Kinship, Culture and Connections.

Final year Commerce intern Heather Marciano worked with Greenacres and IRT under the supervision of Dr Chris Sykes from the School of Management and Marketing to examine issues of concern for industry leaders in Disability and Aged Care, for ageing people with intellectual disability.

In a recent briefing in the Faculty of Commerce, Greenacre’s CEO Neil Preston together with key Greenacres stakeholders and industry partner Craig Smith from IRT came together to hear the findings of Heather Marciano’s research.

Ms Marciano’s report found that people with intellectual disability often show the signs of ageing earlier than the general population. “The research conducted as part of the internship was about finding ways to improve the intersect between Disability and Aged Care Services so that transitions for ageing people with intellectual disability are based around their aging care needs, not their chronological age,” said Ms Marciano.

Ms Marciano hopes that her report will contribute to service users in the local community but will also inform policy makers at a state or national level.

About 100 local Year 12 students studying economics had the opportunity to gain valuable tips in their studies for their upcoming HSC.

HSC TIPS FOR BUSINESS STUDENTS

PARTNERSHIP AND ENGAGEMENTThe Commerce Alumni Chapter was renamed the Commerce and Sydney Business School Alumni Chapter in 2010 in order to reflect the current structure and offering of commerce and business degrees at the University of Wollongong. The Chapter held a breakfast seminar in September, based on a theme ‘Our University – Our Community’. Following a welcome by the Executive Dean of Business, Professor John Glynn, the Vice-Principal (Administration), Chris Grange, provided a current overview of the University, including enrolment numbers and capital works. Professor Philip Clingan, Medical Director Illawarra Health and Medical Research Institute – Cancer Continuum Research Theme, delivered a presentation outlining the world-class medical research being undertaken in the Illawarra Region. It was pleasing that Beijing government employees who were participating in a professional development program in business administration at the Innovation Campus were able to attend the breakfast seminar.

In October 2010, the Chapter partnered with the Australian Marketing Institute and delivered to Alumni a seminar focusing on the advantages and disadvantages of print and digital media. Will Scully-Power, Managing Director of Datarati, spoke of the advantages of

digital media, while Alan Sarkissian, former CEO of Publishers Australia, spoke of the advantages of print media. University academic and professional staff, students and Alumni members working in local businesses attended the event.

The Chair of the Alumni Chapter, Dr Greg Kerr, presented the Commerce and Business Alumni Award to Bonnie Cord (pictured right). The award is presented annually to a commerce and business graduate who demonstrates qualities of leadership, personal, professional or academic success, innovation and creativity, and community spirit. The Chapter allows the previous year’s award winner to select the criteria for the Alumni Student Award. In this regard, the 2009 Award winner, Natalie Viselli, as being the student who received the highest mark in ECON310 Cost Benefit Analysis, set the criteria for the 2010 award. On this basis the 2010 Commerce and Business Student Award was presented to Ashleigh Fay Becker.

International students and a perspective that reaches beyond the University’s national presence into an international arena played an inreasingly important role for the Faculty in 2010. Commerce is strongly represented in UOW’s offshore campuses – a presence that was firmly consolidated in 2010.

The Head of the International Unit, Associate Professor Gary Noble, was appointed as Associate Dean (Business), across both the Faculty of Commerce and Sydney Business School and continued in his role as Chair of the University’s International Alliance Committee. He stood down as Chair of the University’s International Learning and Teaching (ILTS) committee following the expansion of his role across two Faculties.

Dr Matthew Pepper was appointed as Director of International Operations to oversee academic issues for the PSB Singapore programs.

A significant focus for the International Unit in 2010 was preparation for the AUQA audit in 2011 and a major review of all current credit transfer arrangements into the Bachelor of Commerce was undertaken with specific emphasis on ensuring quality.

Despite an Australia-wide downturn in international student enrolments, the Faculty’s international student

numbers increased by 4.2% in Autumn compared to the same period for 2009, a heartening result despite a Spring 2010 decrease of 4.8% in enrolments compared to 2009.
