Knowledge@Australian School of Business - Video Interviews episodes:

June 01, 2011 National Productivity: A Case of Missing Incentives
The policy settings for productivity growth in Australia are out of
whack. Fred Hilmer, one of the architects of the reforms that helped set
up Australia's outstanding productivity boom that began in the
mid-1990s, says current microeconomic policy has a critical missing
piece – competition. To reverse the nation's recent productivity slump,
more incentives for competition are needed, along with further
reductions in company and marginal taxes, insists Hilmer, president and
vice-chancellor of the University of New South Wales. But, don't hold
your breath. Rapid economic reform is highly unlikely due to budgetary
constraints and political risk in the post-election environment, he
tells Knowledge@Australian School of Business.

June 01, 2011 Knowledge@ASB - Deferring Retirement: Switch on to Working Until 75+
Ignorance is definitely not bliss when it comes to retirement saving.
Despite the wake-up call of the global financial crisis, research shows
very few people are clued up on just how they will pay for increasingly
longer lives. A comparative international study shows that women and
low-paid workers are most likely to face old age under-funded. But,
according to Olivia Mitchell, an insurance and risk professor at the
Wharton School, it's time for everyone to defer retirement plans –
perhaps to age 75. Forget about putting your feet up, she says, instead
opt for a more comfortable lifestyle and staying mentally astute.

June 01, 2011 Competitive Strategies: Turning Losers into Winners Through Innovation
Risk aversion remains rife in the aftermath of the global financial
crisis, but this approach is dampening corporate competitiveness and
putting much-needed innovation on the back burner. In major companies,
vigilance over risk and auditing practices has increased at the expense
of putting time and effort into competitive strategy, innovation and its
inevitable companion, calculated risk-taking. The president and
vice-chancellor of the University of New South Wales, Fred Hilmer,
argues that organisations now need to lose the attitude that every loss
is a problem, and policymakers should be enticing them to innovate.

June 01, 2011 Driving Tourism: Is It Time for the Kangaroo to Take the Backseat?
The latest novel push by authorities to bring more international
tourists to Australian shores seems oddly timed. With the Australian
dollar running at record highs, some suspect it will backfire. However,
Larry Dwyer, a professor of marketing at the Australian School of Business,
anticipates the opposite may happen. The new marketing drive may raise
the consciousness of locals to the appeal of holidaying closer to home
and, with domestic holidays accounting for 75% of tourism down under,
this may be just the boost the industry needs. But this is no time for
complacency, Dwyer cautions. Australia must look beyond its traditional
attractions and focus on promoting a range of valued experiences for
travellers.

June 01, 2011 Marketing in India: How the Rubber Hit the Road for Ford's Figo
A country with 27,000 newspapers and 850 million mobile phone users
presented a marketing challenge for the US motor vehicle manufacturing
giant Ford when it decided to make inroads into the Indian small car
market. But extensive research into customers' aspirations and a strong
focus on value delivered cut-through for the four-wheeled
Australian-designed Figo in a populous nation of do-it-yourself
mechanics. Michael Boneham, president and managing director of Ford
India shares lessons from the journey so far in a video interview for
Knowledge@Australian School of Business.

June 01, 2011 Tapping Productivity: How Zip Industries' Innovators Hit Boiling Point
Entrepreneur and innovator Michael Crouch, chairman and
CEO of Zip Industries, once saw a big opportunity in a small white box
with red taps. By fostering an innovative spirit and daring to be
different, his business created the world's first instant boiling water
system. Today Zip water heaters are in service in the royal household in
Buckingham Palace and numerous offices and factories across the globe.
Innovation – as an ongoing process and vital mindset within
organizations – has become Crouch's driving passion. In an interview
with Knowledge@Australian School of Business, he outlines how it could
apply heat to Australia's tepid productivity record.

June 01, 2011 Innovation: Wesfarmers' MD Richard Goyder Brings on the New
The bigger the business, the less likely it is to be innovative,
according to Wesfarmers managing director Richard Goyder. And that's no
small claim from the chief of a conglomerate with some 200,000
employees. However, the Western Australian group, that began almost 100
years ago as a farmer's cooperative, has managed to keep growing and
innovating across diverse sectors, including retail, resources and
financial services. And its latest results indicate it's on plan to
turnaround the Coles group business. In an interview with
Knowledge@Australian School of Business, Goyder outlines how Wesfarmers,
with its many smaller companies, beats the problem of innovation
shrinking in inverse proportion to the organisation's size.

June 16, 2010 Knowledge@ASB: Stephen Kaufman on the role of a CEO
When you unpack the role of the chief executive officer (CEO), it comes down to five principal responsibilities. Yet, as the high turnover rate for corporate chiefs suggests, the role is far from straightforward. Part of the problem may be the vanity factor – that is, who the CEO sees when they look in the mirror – according to Steve Kaufman, PricewaterhouseCoopers research fellow at the Australian School of Business and a senior lecturer at Harvard Business School. In an interview for Knowledge@Australian School of Business, he tells Julian Lorkin how CEOs and their bosses on the board can take a reality check.
