May 01, 2012 The Big Quota Question: Why You Should Count on Women
While some Australian organisations have taken the lead in
introducing targets to redress gender balance, businesses will soon be
required by law to report on the outcomes of their gender equality
policies. But which strategies work for shifting the unconscious bias
that continues to stop women ascending the corporate ladder? Employers
must demonstrate that they are serious about women's careers. And
assumptions about women's skills and abilities also must be challenged,
insist experts. Momentum grows once there's a critical mass of women in
an organisation, which is a strong argument for promoting quotas. But
not everyone agrees.

April 27, 2012 Financial Planning Ethics: Upping the Ante for Counting on Trust
The financial planning industry's future hinges on trust between
planners and their clients. A new ethical standard drafted by the
Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board may be just what's
needed to drive the federal government's diluted Future of Financial
Advice (FOFA) reforms further, eliminating conflict of interest problems
due to carve-outs for asset fees and commissions on life insurance. But
many are skeptical about the high ethical standards proposed for those
dispensing financial planning advice, while advocates argue the same
sort of conflicted remuneration rules that promote trust in doctors,
lawyers and accountants should apply to financial planners. Will their
voices be heard above the uproar?

April 19, 2012 Offshore Expansion: How to Create International Success
According to conventional wisdom, Malaysian company Ta Ann Holdings
Berhad should never have succeeded in its expansion to Tasmania, where
it established two veneer mills.
Existing models of "internationalising success"– when companies
establish profitable overseas ventures – say internal resources and
capabilities are vital to offshore success. When Ta Ann expanded to
Tasmania, it had neither: it was the company's first offshore move so it
lacked international experience, and it didn't have massive resources.
So why did a company like Ta Ann make it in Tasmania against the odds,
and against conventional business thinking?

April 19, 2012 Training & Development: Making Coaches Turn Professional
When does an industry formally become a profession? The question is an
increasingly apt one for the world of business and executive coaching,
which has enjoyed extraordinary growth in the past 10 to 15 years.
While some argue that the coaching industry is slowly coming of age,
historically anyone with business experience across a wide range of
sectors – from real estate to psychiatry – has been able to hang out a
shingle. Without any clear qualifications or barriers to entry, coaching
is a free-for-all – anyone can be one.

April 19, 2012 House Price Bust: Why Talk of a Bubble Won't Wash
Australia's residential property market defied global trends by avoiding
the collapses suffered by other countries during the global downturn.
Insulated by a strong local economy, low unemployment, a growing
population and government schemes that propped up the first homebuyers'
market, Australian house prices slipped only 3% in 2008 as the US and UK
recorded double-digit slumps.

April 04, 2012 Is It Good News or Bad News? It's All in the Delivery
It takes guts to have a meaningful conversation at work. When a
performance is not up to scratch or a promotion is sidelined, a direct
exchange handled with compassion and courage is essential. Using the
right words at the right time can be empowering. But technically
proficient leaders – with growing email dependence – may be too busy or
lack the behavioural insights for challenging chats that produce the
right outcomes. A new executive education course at the Australian
Graduate School of Management has resuscitated the dying art of
conversation to help managers get what they want.

April 04, 2012 Franchising: Commercial Marriages from Heaven or Hell?
Franchising has boomed in Australia, now the world's most franchised
nation per head of population. But the collapse of franchise chains –
most recently booksellers Angus & Robertson and Borders – highlights
that there are considerable additional challenges to the popular
business model. What happens when a franchisor fails to move with the
times or when franchisees and franchisors fall out? There are numerous
upsides to these popular "commercial marriages", but – far from
cookie-cutting – franchising is one of the most intricate and
complicated ways of doing business, argue experts at the Australian
School of Business.

April 04, 2012 Competitive Advantage: Keep a Seat for the CIO at the Executive Table
Chief information officers are facing numerous new trends in information
technology. Think cloud computing, the rise of software as a service,
the recent ubiquity of consumer devices and social media... IT can
transform business performance. But enterprise IT no longer emanates
from one part of an organisation, so strategising the ways to make an
organisation competitive has become far more complex. The Australian
School of Business is part of an international research collaboration
exploring how – and from where – CIOs can best influence business
outcomes.

April 04, 2012 The Budget Blow-out: Why the Environment Will Win Over Aged Care
All eyes are on the May federal budget as policymakers weigh up
priorities for two big-ticket items – environmental protection and the
pressing needs of an increasingly ageing population. The environment is a
key issue for younger generations who are expecting to live longer,
while the baby boomers most immediately are facing the prospect of more
years in retirement. The pressure is on but assumptions cannot be made
about generational spending preferences, warn experts. Adeline Tubb, a
researcher at the Australian School of Business, has produced a model
that shows environmental protection looks set to win in the end.

March 22, 2012 New Diversity Rules: Why Recruiters Can No Longer Send in the Clones
When innovation can make the difference between "has-been" and the "next
big thing", organisations no longer can afford the luxury of choosing
whether to recruit for diversity. A broad range of talent promotes
creativity and produces bright ideas, making it a must-have for
organisations facing fierce competition and the perpetual demand to
reinvent products and services. These days it most definitely takes
(almost) all kinds and the well-recognised tendency to recruit "people
like me" poses a serious risk, insist experts. Sure, managing a team of
diverse employees can present challenges, but smart managers now must
dare to recruit differently.
