October 04, 2012 Expert Opinion: How To Move On From an Economic Meltdown
Many of the world’s economies are still struggling to recover from the
global financial crisis. The threat of a crisis Mark II is not out of
the question, though it’s unlikely, says Anne Krueger, a former chief
economist of the World Bank, and first deputy managing director of the
International Monetary Fund from 2001 to 2006. Speaking at an Australian
School of Business forum on global competitiveness, Krueger evaluates
efforts to untangle the aftermath of the crisis and determines that
there has been too little action, too late.

October 04, 2012 Maximising Workforce Potential: How to Manage With a Growth Mindset
Will business stars always outperform the average Joes? Is it possible
to teach old dogs new tricks? For decades, researchers have analysed how
fixed mindsets affect the academic achievement of children and
students. Now, new work led by Peter Heslin, a professor at the
Australian School of Business, reveals the implications of mindsets in
organisations. Heslin says a manager with a growth mindset can harness
workforce potential and make a substantial positive difference within an
organisation.

October 04, 2012 Corporate Social Responsibility: A Fig Leaf for Capitalism or Path to a Better World?
Australian tobacco companies tick all the corporate social
responsibility (CSR) boxes on their websites. Yet recent court actions
against plain packaging of cigarettes suggest profits take precedence
over harm reduction – and the companies are continuing their fight with
an appeal to the World Trade Organisation. The profit motive can feed
criticism that CSR is a marketing exercise. Ajnesh Prasad, from the
Australian School of Business, questions whether some corporations are
using CSR as a means to enhance their bottom lines rather than for
social good.

September 20, 2012 VIDEO - Nicholas Moore CEO Macquarie Group - How To Manage Risk
Macquarie Group has surplus capital on the balance sheet and continues to seek businesses which meet its acquisition criteria, as chief executive Nicholas Moore highlighted at the annualgeneral meeting of Australia's only listed investment bank in July. In the wake of the financial crisis, the group made successful acquisitions in funds management but – with its sharp eye on shareholder value and the risk-return equation – finds quality assets are in short supply. Volatile times may have impacted the home-grown financial giant, which now operates in 28 countries, but as Moore explains in an exclusive interview with Knowledge@Australian School of Business, Macquarie's risk management framework has served it well through a range of market cycles.

September 20, 2012 AUDIO - Macquarie Group CEO Nicholas Moore: How Australia's Biggest Investment Bank Covers Risk
Macquarie Group has surplus capital on the balance sheet and continues

Australia's only listed investment bank in July. In the wake of the

September 19, 2012 Digital Dilemma: Do You Really Need an App?
The global buzz around the release of Apple's iPhone 5 highlights the
widespread adoption of mobile devices and, with it, the proliferation of
purpose-built software applications, or apps. Presently, 18% of
Australian businesses offer a mobile app, but in a recent survey more
than half of the participants said they planned to develop one within
the next five years. For companies getting app-happy, it's not just a
case of dishing up what they think will be good for users. Experts
insist that app success depends on ensuring the relevance of the
offering and its functionality. Co-creation is the name of the game. The
activities of banks and media players make them natural-born app
purveyors, but less digitally adept businesses are also benefiting from
app-ing it up.

September 19, 2012 Seeing Double: Can Accountants Foster Revolution?
There's an international effort to factor sustainability into financial
reporting. Concurrent with calls for this fundamental reassessment of
accounting is the work of an Australian-based writer who has taken one
of the rudiments of number crunching – double-entry bookkeeping – and
suggested it has a lot to answer for. With her book, Double Entry, Jane
Gleeson-White has provoked debate about the merits of a method
established more than 500 years ago that remains a standard technique
today. She argues that for too long accounting has been oblivious to
important intangibles, such as human relationships and the quality of
the environment, and she’s sceptical about the seriousness of
governments to do something about it.

September 19, 2012 Driving Down Costs: Toyota Takes Lean Efficiencies Beyond Japan
Until recently, Toyota had long been the world's top car-maker and it
rose to that position by using lean production methods. Its Toyota
Production System, which pivots on continuous improvement and respect
for people, became a best-practice management phenomenon, copied by many
in a wide range of sectors. But questions have arisen over such
silver-bullet theories of business excellence. And what happens when a
proven and spectacularly successful method is moved to a different
business environment outside Japan? Researchers from the Australian
School of Business have been exploring the upshot of Toyota's
manufacturing shift to Thailand, a lower-wage economy with less
consideration for its labour force.

September 04, 2012 The Freelance Imperative: IBM Blazes the Trail for a Liquid Workforce
In the brave new world of work, only executives with strategic roles
and those who interface with clients may have regular jobs as the
remaining workforce jostles for position in the "talent cloud". In a
radical restructuring of its German workforce, international tech giant
IBM is a trailblazer with a more flexible approach. Big Blue plans to
pick and choose between freelance workers who will market themselves,
project-by-project, via a professional eBay-style platform. This new
model will not only cut costs and have clear implications for managers.
Experts say it will also make workers' future employment more dependent
than ever on digital profiles.

September 04, 2012 Transfer Pricing and IP Location: Research Reveals the Real Motivators
Revelations that Google paid only A$74,000 in Australian taxes last
year, despite generating around A$1.1 billion from local customers, have
put the spotlight on multinationals and taxation. With the federal
government's newly updated transfer-pricing rules, which affect the way
corporations can shift profits between countries, there's a sharper eye
on where organisations locate intangible assets, such as intellectual
property (IP). Research by Michael Walpole of the Australian School of
Business and Nadine Riedel of Oxford University finds tax authorities
can be overly suspicious of what motivates companies in their choice of
IP location. Their decisions may be influenced by far more than tax.
