March 06, 2013 New Order: Tim Steele on the Future of Financial Planning
The collapse of a number of financial planning firms in recent years has
dented consumer confidence in financial advisers, but changes are
afoot. The government has tackled conflicts of interest with its Future
of Financial Advice reforms and the Australian Securities and Investment
Commission has proposed a national exam as an industry qualification.
Moves to lift educational requirements for financial planners had
already been signalled by the industry. This year, the Australian School
of Business (ASB) commenced degree courses in financial planning and
has responded to an approach from Tim Steele, director of AMP's Horizons
Academy, which trains and licenses that company's financial planners.
Under a new agreement, eligible graduates from AMP's Horizons program
will be able to gain academic credit towards further study at the ASB.
Steele recently spoke with Knowledge@Australian School of Business.

March 06, 2013 Going Dutch: Tourism and the Resources Boom
According to Larry Dwyer from the Australian School of Business, the
recent lean years for Australian tourism can be seen as Dutch Disease, a
term coined during the 1970s when the discovery of gas deposits in The
Netherlands led to an appreciation of the domestic currency at the
expense of other local industries. Growth is returning to Australian
tourism with more visitors coming from China than from the traditional
market of Britain and resumed interest from the US. But Dwyer notes that
a slowdown in investment has led to a lack of innovation, resulting in a
tired product. Australia is one of the world's most expensive
destinations, but is it really geared up to deliver quality experiences
for visitors?

February 20, 2013 VIDEO - Future Shocks: Dan Levinthal on Sustaining Competitive Advantage
Dan Levinthal is a professor of management at the Wharton School at
the University of Pennsylvania. He is also the Michael Crouch Visiting
Professorial Fellow at the Australian School of Business where he will
be giving a series of talks on innovation and the experimenting
organisation. Levinthal says that companies seeking to foster new
possibilities need a mix of discipline and some element of tolerance for
at least partial failure. It is about balancing exploration and
exploitation. Levinthal recently spoke with Knowledge@Australian School
of Business.

February 20, 2013 Journalism in the Digital Crossfire: Who Will Pay for the News?
With declining revenues and competition from online resources and
social media, traditional newspapers and even digital news sites are in
transition, according to new research from the Australian School of
Business. The forms that news sources will take in the future is as yet
unknown, but the ability to track user trends online will certainly
shape their evolution and the survival of conventional newspapers is not
assured. Local papers and specialist sites are expected to survive, but
how will the civic role of news reporting be funded?

February 20, 2013 Innovate or Bust: Creating Business Cultures Open to Change
What does it take to be innovative in a changing global economy? That
was a key question posed at the 35th-anniversary conference of the
Australian Graduate School of Management. A highlight of the conference
was three business leaders – Gerhard Vorster, chief strategy officer at
Deloitte Australia and Asia Pacific; Andrew Stevens, managing director
of IBM Australia and New Zealand; and George Frazis, CEO of St George
Banking Group - sharing their insights into embracing the challenges of
innovation, now and into the future.

February 20, 2013 Captured By Carbon: Why An Emissions Trading Scheme Needs a Floor Price
The Australian government plans to link its fixed-priced system for
tackling climate change to the emissions trading scheme (ETS) of the
European Union (EU). Meanwhile, the Europeans are wondering whether a
straight and predictable carbon tax such as Australia's would not have
been more efficient for them in the first place. The EU's floating
carbon price has fallen to levels where it's more profitable for some
businesses to keep polluting than to invest in green technology and it's
apparent that too many emissions rights have been issued. Regina Betz,
joint director at the Centre for Energy and Environmental Markets at the
Australian School of Business, says an effective ETS needs to include a
floor price for carbon to limit intervention from politicians and
thereby provide certainty for business.

February 06, 2013 VIDEO - Catherine Harris on Leading Harris Farm Markets
What entrepreneur wouldn't dream of turning a single store into a
thriving chain of outlets? Few succeed, but someone who has is Catherine
Harris, chair of Harris Farm Markets. With her husband David as CEO,
Catherine co-founded the business in 1972 with a small fruit and
vegetable shop in the western Sydney suburb of Villawood. It has since
grown into an operation with a chain of 22 stores and three butchers
across the state of New South Wales and more than 1000 employees. Harris
Farm Markets was a trailblazer in being the first Australian fresh
produce business to serve its customers in the style of a supermarket.
From the start, the family-run concern has bought its goods from the
Sydney Markets at Flemington, near the site of the 2000 Olympics. Harris
Farm Markets continues to be based there.
Catherine Harris has maintained a close association with the University
of New South Wales since completing her degree in the late 1960s at
what was then the faculty of commerce, which is now the Australian
School of Business. An Officer of the Order of Australia, Catherine has
held other prominent directorships and sat on a number of boards. She is
currently a commissioner of the Australian Rugby League and Honorary
Consul General for Bhutan.

February 06, 2013 Here's to the Crazy Ones: The Pleasure and Pain of the Business Maverick
Bold and creative maverick leaders tend to deliver great innovations and
breakthroughs. At the same time, they are highly disruptive, disturbing
to work for and, by nature, definitely not team players. In business,
it seems we can’t live with them and can’t live without them, as many
who encountered Apple founder, Steve Jobs, have attested. New research
from the Australian School of Business delves into the personality
traits and risk-taking behaviour of mavericks and finds the case for
understanding the visionary nonconformist, while also carefully managing
those within their influence.

February 06, 2013 Inside Story: Breaking New Ground in Managing Risk
Corporate risk management has traditionally focused on mitigating the
impact of external factors over which a company has no control. But what
about internal factors? Australian School of Business professor Lex
Donaldson has developed Organisational Portfolio Analysis (OPA), a new
approach that identifies the risks within a company's individual
business units and reveals how their fluctuations interact with overall
company risk and performance. OPA can deliver fresh insights into the
dynamics and behaviour of a corporation. By better understanding sources
of corporate risk, they can be managed and used to drive profits.
