Full textAbstract:
This is a qualitative study of female underrepresentation in leadership roles in project-based organisations in Australia, specifically the construction and property development industries. Using a gender lens, the underlying structural and cultural barriers to women's advancement to leadership in those organisations was studied and, in particular, what challenges they face in their career advancement and what attempts they make to resolve those challenges. The findings show that the unique characteristics of project-based organisations, with their perpetual masculine work practices, embedded masculine logic, gender-based bias and masculine organisational culture, all maintain the pattern of underrepresentation of women.

Venn, Darren P. "A changing cultural landscape: Yanchep National Park, Western Australia." Thesis, Edith Cowan University, Research Online, Perth, Western Australia, 2008. https://ro.ecu.edu.au/theses/28.
Full textAbstract:
This study depicts the changing landscape of Western Australia's Yanchep National Park as it has evolved in response to natural processes and human activities. The study also serves to evaluate the level of input Indigenous people have in the management of Australian natural and cultural heritage. The Park was examined by utilising a methodology that combined a cultural geography approach with Structuration Theory. Yanchep National Park is highly suited to this type of investigation because of its close proximity to a major urban centre ( Perth ) and because of the importance of the area to Indigenous people, resulting in a highly visible cultural heritage within the Park.

Full textAbstract:
As multinational corporations (MNCs) are extending their international operations they need to examine issues such as the localisation of human resource policies and management, and the effective use of local and expatriate managers. Examination of expatriate studies indicates a lack of attention given to the relationships between expatriate managers and local managers or the perspectives of local managers working in MNCs. This thesis attempts to fill these gaps by focusing on the cross-cultural interactions between expatriate and local managers. This thesis addresses the importance of positive cross-cultural understanding between Japanese expatriate managers and local managers in Japanese subsidiaries in Australia, and its effect on work-related outcomes such as job satisfaction and commitment to the organisation. It identifies macro and micro factors which are associated with levels of job satisfaction and commitment of Japanese expatriate managers and Australian managers with special focus on economic functions of industry, communication, and mutual perceptions. Conceptual models for predicting organisational commitment for Japanese expatriate and Australian managers are developed, and the validity of the models is empirically tested.
¶
Australian managers and Japanese expatriate managers working for Australian subsidiaries of twelve Japanese-owned firms completed self-report questionnaires anonymously. A unique paired data set is used for particular analyses such as measuring communication and perceptions of each other. This thesis examines differences in work values and beliefs between Japanese expatriates and Australian managers on issues derived from structural and cultural features of Japanese MNCs; for example, the type of subsidiary-head office management (eg. strategic planning), integration of local managers, group-oriented decision making, and work ethic. It is found that there is a significant gap in perceptions between Japanese and Australian managers with regard to corporate membership, but no significant differences are found in their opinions towards the strategic planning style of management. Contrary to our expectations, Australian managers are found to be more group-oriented than Japanese managers.
¶
The characteristics of two industries, general trading firms (the sogo shosha) and manufacturing firms, are discussed and their impacts upon cross-cultural relationships and work attitudes of managers are examined. Findings indicate that Australian managers in manufacturing firms have more positive perceptions of work relations with Japanese managers and positive work attitudes than Australian managers in the sogo shosha. This suggests that manufacturing firms provide a more positive work environment to Australian managers than the sogo shosha, whereas cross-cultural interactions in the sogo shosha are not very effective, which may cause misunderstanding and mistrust between managers, and lower levels of job satisfaction and organisational commitment of local managers. The type of industry does not affect the work attitudes of Japanese managers or their perceptions of Australian counterparts.
¶
A conceptual model for predicting the organisational commitment of Japanese and Australian managers are developed and tested empirically. Independent variables included in the model are: individual characteristics, type of industry, psychological integration of local managers into the Japanese organisation, work relations between Japanese and local managers and job satisfaction. Results indicate that job satisfaction, work relations and tenure have significant impacts upon organisational commitment of Australian managers. As for the Japanese managers, job satisfaction and tenure have significant impacts upon organisational commitment, but no association between work relations and organisational commitment is found. In addition, the relationship between work relations and organisational commitment for the Australian managers is partially mediated by job satisfaction, however, this is not the case with the Japanese managers.
¶
The findings of this thesis will improve our understanding of cross-cultural interactions between expatriates and local managers, increasing overall firm performance and improving the quality of cross-cultural relationships within contemporary society. Moreover, these findings will provide a wider perspective on understanding how organisations can implement localisation of management and integrate local managers into the organisation.

It has long been established that in Australia contemporary (post-contact) Aboriginal history has suffered as a result of the colonisation process. Aboriginal history was seen as belonging in the realm of prehistory, rather than in contemporary historical discourses. Attempts have now been made to reinstate indigenous history into local, regional and national historical narratives. The field of heritage interpretation however, still largely relegates Aboriginal heritage to prehistory. This thesis investigates the ways in which Aborigianl history can be incorporated into the interpetation of contemporary or post-contact history at heritage sites. The thesis uses the principle of 'shared history' as outlined by the Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation, as a starting point in these discussions.

Full textAbstract:
Cultural resource management is an effort to revitalize culture in the present, and the aim of such endeavours is to provide stability for future generations in navigating culture. This theme runs throughout my preliminary fieldwork in Wadeye, as I sought to collect traditional narratives of the mythic “Dreaming” song cycles. One of the goals of my volunteering and fieldwork in this region was to help make history relevant to future generations of Aboriginal Australians by providing them with resources from the local Kanamkek-Yile Ngala museum. In this thesis, I explore how culture as presented in traditional myths and narratives becomes intertwined in the daily lives of Aboriginal Australians. The thesis delves heavily into the process of fieldwork as a way of engendering empathy for the social analysis of myths. The experience of the field, entering into another way of life, is central in forming an understanding for how myth and narrative play vital roles in Aboriginal Australian culture. The fieldwork here is largely from the vein of applied anthropology in seeking answers relating to the loss of narratives in the region. The drive here is to find a framework for the successful revitalization of lost stories by visiting cultural sites and reconnecting to experiences of the land. I also explore notions of ethno-poetry as a possible way of tapping into the creative potential of the Aboriginal Australian “Dreamtime.” The aim is thus to engender larger discussion in cultural resource management by centering the community in deciding its own responses and adaptation strategies in dealing with story revitalization efforts.Graduate Studies, College of (Okanagan)

Anderson, Jane Elizabeth Law Faculty of Law UNSW. "The production of indigenous knowledge in intellectual property law." Awarded by:University of New South Wales. School of Law, 2003. http://handle.unsw.edu.au/1959.4/20491.
Full textAbstract:
The thesis is an exploration of how indigenous knowledge has emerged as a subject within Australian intellectual property law. It uses the context of copyright law to illustrate this development. The work presents an analysis of the political, social and cultural intersections that influence legal possibilities and effect practical expectations of the law in this area. The dilemma of protecting indigenous knowledge resonates with tensions that characterise intellectual property as a whole. The metaphysical dimensions of intellectual property have always been insecure but these difficulties come to the fore with the identification of boundaries and markers that establish property in indigenous subject matter. While intellectual property law is always managing difference, the politics of law are more transparent when managing indigenous concerns. Rather than assume the naturalness of the category of indigenous knowledge within law, this work interrogates the politics of its construction precisely as a ???special??? category. Employing a multidisciplinary methodology, engaging theories of governmental rationality that draws upon the scholarship of Michel Foucault to appreciate strategies of managing and directing knowledge, the thesis considers how the politics of law is infused by cultural, political, bureaucratic and individual factors. Key elements in Australia that have pushed the law to consider expressions of indigenous knowledge in intellectual property can be located in changing political environments, governmental intervention through strategic reports, cultural sensitivity articulated in case law and innovative instances of individual agency. The intersection of these elements reveals a dynamic that exerts influence in the shape the law takes.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MPA (School of Public Management and Planning))--University of Stellenbosch, 2009.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The birth of democracy in South Africa launched a paradigm shift in the public sector aligning it with the new political ideology. To meet this objective, state organs had to be radically transformed to embrace this new political ideology so as to extend and enhance service delivery to all South Africans. The democratisation of state organs led to the transformation of public institutions both statutory and non-statutory. The urgency to transform strategic state institutions whose mandate was to provide basic and primary needs like health, housing and social services, led to the neglect of other like sport, culture, and the natural environment. The transformation of some of the latter institutions was attended to only after a couple of years after the democratisation. This led to flaws in these legislative development processes which resulted in the creation of different institutions by various laws. This was the root cause of fragmentation. The provisions of these Acts are in some areas ambiguous and contradictory. The consequences are duplications and overlaps in the implementation processes. Heritage institutions have different regulatory frameworks and management systems – regulations, policies, guidelines and procedures. Furthermore, complex internal management systems expedite fragmentation of this sector. This institutional fragmentation has enormous impact on heritage conservation and management. There is limited cooperation and collaboration between heritage institutions. This study will outline how theories, strategies and instruments from the new public management approach, can be utilised to address these challenges.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Met die totstandkoming van ‘n demokratiese Suid-Afrika het in paradigma verskuiwing in die openbare sektor gevolg wat dit in lyn gebring het met die nuwe politieke ideologie. Om hierdie doelwit te bereik staats instelling moes radikaal getransformeer word om hierdie nuwe politieke ideologie te ondersteun en diens lewering na alle Suid-Afrikaners uit te brei. Die demokratisering van staatsinstellings het tot die transformasie van beide statutere en -nie statutere instellings gelei. Die noodsaak om strategiese staatsinstellings wie se mandaat dit was om basiese en primere dienste soos gesondheid, behuising en maatskaplike dienste te verskaf en transformeer, het tot die verwaarlosing van sport, kultuur en omgewingsake gelei. Dit het ‘n paar jaar geduur na demokratisering voordat die transformasie van hierdie instellings aandag gekry het. Die gevolg was ‘n gebrekkige wetgewende ontwikkelingsproses wat tot die totstandkoming van verskillende instellings in terme van verskeie wette gelei het. Hierdie is die bron van fragmentasie. Die voorskrifte van hierdie wetgewing is in sekere areas dubbelsinnig en teenstrydig. Die gevolg is duplikasie en oorvleuling in die implementeringsprosesse. Erfenis oorvleueling instellings het verskillende regulatoriese raamwerke en bestuurstelsels- regulasies, beleide, riglyne en prosedures. Verder vererger die komplekse interne bestuurstelsels fragmentasie in die sektor. Die institusionele fragmentasie het groot impak op erfenisbewaring en-bestuur. Daar is beperkte samewerking tussen erfenis instellings. Hierdie studies sal aandui hoe teoriee, strategie en instrumente van die nuwe benadering tot openbare bestuur aangewend kan word om hierdie uitdagings die hoof te bied.

Griggs, Julian Roger. "Developing cooperative management systems for common property resources : resolving cross-cultural conflict in a west coast fishery." Thesis, University of British Columbia, 1990. http://hdl.handle.net/2429/29032.
Full textAbstract:
Conventional approaches to resource management frequently invest authority in the hands of a technical management agency, with the result that the roles of manager and user are often cast in opposition as guardian and villain respectively. This thesis addresses cross-cultural contexts where this problem is exacerbated by the difficulties of communication and where management efforts are often frustrated by conflict. The objectives of the thesis are (i) to analyse the relationship between systems of property rights and systems of resource management, and (ii) to assess the potential for traditional communal property systems to provide a foundation for the cooperative management of local renewable resources held in common.
Preliminary chapters set out the theoretical context for this work, tracing the linkage between conventional approaches to resource management and the prevailing western understanding of common property, particularly Hardin's (1968) 'tragedy paradigm'. An analysis of the theoretical challenges to this line of thinking leads to the identification of an alternative, cooperative approach to resource management that builds oh a refined definition of common property and which draws on empirical examples of traditional management systems from around the world.
A case-study of the clam fishery on the West coast of Vancouver Island is introduced as an illustrative example of a resource management conflict in a complex setting, beset by a number of problems including a chronic lack of communication and pervasive uncertainty. Using Rein and Schön's concept of 'frames', the dispute is defined in terms of the conflicting perceptions of the many stakeholder groups and from this viewpoint, the present conflict is shown to reflect the characteristic weaknesses of the conventional approach.
A solution to this conflict is sought through the the adaptation of the traditional resource use system of the aboriginal inhabitants of the area. By adapting the key characteristics of the traditional system to match the more complex demands of the many stakeholder groups, a set of founding principles is established and a skeleton framework for cooperative management is proposed. It is concluded that the conflict would best be resolved through a process of mediated
negotiation that seeks to reduce frame conflict and encourage the growth of cooperation. A number of recommendations are offered that suggest how this process might evolve.
On the basis of the findings of the case study, it is concluded that traditional communal property systems can provide a sound foundation for the cooperative management of common property resources but that on the West coast, a number of substantive changes must first come about. In particular there is a need to develop amongst the stakeholder groups a more refined definition of common property and a more refined understanding of its linkage to management systems. There is also an urgent need to close the widening gap between the rapidly changing legal realities of Native rights and the outstanding aboriginal land question on the one hand, and the political and social reality in which many of the stakeholders operate on the other.
Finally, it is concluded that cooperative management systems of this type may well be appropriate in many similar resource management and international development contexts but that one principal barrier remains. If western society is unable to overcome the cultural inertia that prevents us from seeing beyond a simple choice of the strictly traditional on the one hand, or the strictly modern on the other, such promising opportunities will be lost. It is argued that this 'traditional/modern' dichotomy must be overcome if more creative and innovative approaches to the management of local renewable resources are to come to fruition.Science, Faculty of

Full textAbstract:
GIS has been utilized in cultural resources management for decades, yet its application has been largely isolated to predicting the occurrence of archaeological sites. Federal and State agencies are required to protect archaeological sites that are discovered on their lands, but their resources and personnel are very limited. A new methodology is evaluated that uses modern light detection and ranging (LiDAR) and historic aerial photogrammetry to create digital terrain models (DTMs) capable of identifying sites that are most at risk of damage from changes in terrain. Results revealed that photogrammetric modeling of historic aerial imagery, with limitations, can be a useful decision making tool for cultural resources managers to prioritize conservation and monitoring efforts. An attempt to identify key environmental factors that would be indicative of future topographic changes did not reveal conclusive results. However, the methodology proposed has the potential to add an affordable temporal dimension to future digital terrain modeling and land management. Furthermore, the methods have global applicability because they can be utilized in any region with an arid environment.

Full textAbstract:
Safety culture has risen to prominence over the past two decades as a means by which organisations may enhance their safety performance. Safety culture may be conceptualised as an interpretive device that mediates between organisational safety rhetoric and safety programs on the one hand, and local workplace cultures on the other. More recently, risk-awareness has emerged as a cultural approach to safety. Front line workers are encouraged to become risk-aware through programs designed to prompt them to undertake mental or informal risk assessments before commencing work. The problem is that risk-awareness programs have not been the subject of systematic research and the impact of these programs on the culture of safety and the resultant level of risk is unknown. Therefore, this ethnographic study of two sites within a large contract maintenance organisation in Australia explored what impact risk-awareness programs have upon the culture of safety and the resultant level of risk. The researcher spent two months in the field and data was collected through participant observation, semistructured interviews and through a review of organisational documents. This study found that managers focused upon collecting the paperwork associated with the program as proof that workers had a safer workplace, whereas workers preferred to rely upon their common sense rather than the paperwork to keep them safe. As a consequence, the riskawareness program resulted in a culture of paperwork and varying levels of risk reduction because the paperwork associated with the program created an illusion of safety for managers as much as common sense did for workers. The results of this study have implications for safety culture, risk-awareness programs and for organisational learning. They also have implications for organisations wishing to improve their safety culture by encouraging risk-awareness in front-line workers.Doctor of Philosophy

Full textAbstract:
Do Australian and Japanese university students feel that social marketing is encroaching on their freedoms or empowering them? For example, how do they react to social marketing messages such as ‘Don’t Drink and Drive’ and ‘Reduce, Reuse, Recycle’? Social marketing activities include advocating for environmental change, laws, and regulations as well as making recommendations to individuals to change behaviours to promote the good of society; however, some people believe that such activities are attempts to control people, infringing upon their individual freedom. While behavioural models and theories have recognised the influence of an individual’s predisposition towards a recommended behaviour (such as quitting smoking), at present, there has been little attention paid to an individual’s predisposition towards the social change directives themselves, the social marketing activities/techniques in general; the present study is calling this predisposition the individual’s ‘readiness to accept’ social marketing activities. Hence, this study investigated the influence of values relating to the freedom of the individual on ‘readiness to accept government-sponsored social marketing activities’ in Australian and Japanese university students aged between 18 and 23 years.

Full textAbstract:
The major focus of this essay is the case study of the Voortrekker Monument Heritage Site in Pretoria, the introduction of a new management team in 1994 and the suggested manner in which the management could be improved. To place this particular case study in perspective, it was necessary in the first place, to look at the meaning of cultural resource- or heritage management and other related terms. It soon became apparent that no single term for this new discipline has been determined and that countries around the world differ greatly on this issue. South Africa uses the term Heritage Resource Management. An overview of cultural resources management (CRM) in other countries such as the U.S.A., Great Britain and some members of the Commonwealth, was also presented. Cultural resource management is a relatively new discipline in South Africa, and an historical overview, in which most of the relevant legislation was referred to, was undertaken. In comparison to other countries in the world, much less publications have been produced in South Africa. Most of these had been completed as dissertations or as papers for conferences. A detailed summary of all the relevant (directly or indirectly) legislation was compiled. In the last chapter, a case study of the Voortrekker Monument was undertaken. An attempt was made to provide adequate answers to the questions why?, how?, and who? should manage a heritage site. Answers to the question as to why a site should be managed, include the establishing of a cultural identity, the site's educational value, for research purposes and finally for its important role in the tourism industry. In the section on how to manage a site, aspects such as the identification and cultural significance of a site were discussed. The importance of a mission and a vision and key strategies, as well as policies were stressed. Resource management on the site includes conservation techniques, sustainable use and visitor management as well as heritage impact assessment. The site's financial management and the site's marketing were addressed in the last section. A heritage site must be managed by 'someone' and in the last section the 'who' (human resources) behind the management of the site, is discussed. Finally the hope is expressed that this dissertation will serve as a basis for a conservation management plan for the VTMHS and serve as a manual for other, similar heritage sites.Dissertation (MA (Heritage and Museum Studies))--University of Pretoria, 2006.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is an empirical examination which links two important areas of management accounting research. The first area relates to the relation between superiors' evaluative styles and the two dependent variables of job related tension and managerial performance. The second area relates to the impact of culture on management accounting system. Two of Hofstede's (1980) dimensions of culture were used in this study. They were power distance and individualism. Two studies, Brownell and Hirst (1986) and Brownell and Dunk (1991), both of which were conducted with samples from a low power distance/high individualism nation were re-examined within the framework suggested by Harrison (1992) that research results related to budgetary participation can be generalized between high power distance/low individualism and low power distance/high individualism nations. Multiple linear regressions were used to test the three-way interaction between budget emphasis, budgetary participation and task characteristics (task uncertainty, task variability or task difficulty), affecting each of the two dependent variables of managerial performance and job related tension. A four-way interaction between budget emphasis, budgetary participation, task difficulty and culture was also tested. A questionnaire was administered to a sample of 410 functional heads from 142 manufacturing companies located in Singapore and Western Australia. Singapore was selected as a surrogate for a high power distance/low individualism culture and Western Australia as a surrogate for a low power distance/high individualism culture. The results of the study lend support to the existence of a three-way interaction affecting managerial performance in the case of task difficulty (Van de Ven & Delbecq,1974) but not in the results of Brownell and Hirst (1986) and Brownell and Dunk (1991). No significant three-way interaction between the independent variables affecting job related tension was found. Furthermore, the absence of any four-way significant interaction between budget emphasis, budgetary participation, task difficulty and culture affecting managerial performance provide strong support for Harrison's (1992) hypotheses that research results on budgetary participation can be generalized between nations with high power distance/low individualism culture and nations with low power distance/high individualism culture.

Full textAbstract:
Knowledge Management System (KMS) is a necessary concept as knowledge possessed by each individual employee is an intellectual property asset that will provide benefits for any organization. In a company, in terms of KMS, employees’ performance holds an important role in helping run the business of the company becoming sustainable and successful. Therefore, the measurement of employees’ performance based on a balanced scorecard is needed to understand the current business situation. This research helped focus on the perception between the KMS and employee’s performance based on a balanced scorecard (BSC) regarding a financial perspective, customer perspective, internal business process perspective, and learning & growth perspective. A survey was conducted at PT. Vale Indonesia Tbk (Vale) to ascertain these perspectives and perceptions of employees regarding performance based on a BSC. These perception data were analyzed, and conclusions were drawn regarding hypotheses. The findings section of this thesis shows the results in details. The results of the survey showed that the employees had a good perception of the value and benefits of KMS as measured with the BSC with the exception of the financial aspect. The interpretation of the results created recommendations to further implement KMS, and to improve employees’ performance at Vale.

"What do primary school principals from the Yamaji region or Mid West Education District say about their school's bullying prevention and management guidelines and practices and how they support the strengths and needs of Aboriginal students and their families?" Thesis, Edith Cowan University, Research Online, Perth, Western Australia, 2010. https://ro.ecu.edu.au/theses/150.
Full textAbstract:
Background: Australia‟s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders are over represented in poor health and education outcomes. Little is known about the bullying experiences of Aboriginal school age children and young people. This Master's study aimed to investigate the policies and practises school principals use for bullying prevention and management in primary schools located in the Yamaji region or Midwest Education District of Western Australia.This study was conducted in conjunction with the Child Health Promotion Research Centre‟s Solid Kids, Solid Schools project. Solid Kids, Solid Schools is a four-year study that aimed to contextualise the bullying experiences of Yamaji school-age children and young people; and develop a locally relevant and culturally secure bullying prevention and management resource.
Method: Thirty-one principals and four deputy principals of primary school aged students participated in either a semi-structured telephone interview or survey. Instrument items asked principals: how often staff at their school used 12 bullying management strategies; to describe and rate the effectiveness of 25 bullying prevention guidelines and strategies; and to describe enablers and barriers to working with Aboriginal students who are bullied or who bully others.Participant responses were matched for compliance with evidence-based recommendations (Cross, Pintabona, Hall, Hamilton, & Erceg, 2004, p. 11) and national policy as set out in the National Safe Schools Framework (NSSF) (Department of Education Science and Training; DEST, 2003) for school bullying prevention and management. Participant responses were also compared to a culturally secure bullying prevention and management model to determine if their guidelines and strategies are culturally secure and could respond to the strengths and needs of Aboriginal students.

Full textAbstract:
This study explores representation and use of indigenous heritage constructs with a view to identifying implications thereof for the quality and relevance of heritage education practices in post colonial southern Africa. Framed within a critical hermeneutic research paradigm under-laboured by critical realist ontology, the study was conducted using a multiple case study research design. The data collection protocol was three-phased, starting with a process of contextual profiling, within which insights were gained into discourses shaping the constitution and orientation of heritage education practices at the Albany Museum in South Africa, the Great Zimbabwe Monument in Zimbabwe and the Supa Ngwao Museum in Botswana. The second phase of data collection entailed modelling workshops in which educators engaged in discussion around the status of heritage education in post apartheid South Africa. This highlighted, through modelled lessons, some of the tensions, challenges and implications for working with notions of social transformation and inclusivity in heritage education. The third phase of data collection involved in-depth interviews. Twelve purposively selected research participants were interviewed between 2010 and 2011. Data generated across the study was processed and subjected to different levels of critical discourse analysis. Besides noting how heritage education in post colonial southern Africa is poorly framed and under-researched, this study revealed that current forms of representing indigenous heritage constructs are influenced more by socio-political discourses than the need to protect and conserve local heritage resources. The study also noted that the observed heritage education practices are oriented more towards addressing issues related to marginalisation and alienation of indigenous cultures and practices, than enhancing learners’ agency to manage and utilise local heritage resources in a more sustainable ways. Based on these findings the study recommends re-positioning heritage education within the framework of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). ESD acknowledges both issues of social justice and the dialectical interplay between nature and culture; as such, it may allow for representation and use of indigenous heritage constructs in ways that expand current political orientations to include sustainability as an additional objective of heritage education. Given that little research focusing on heritage education has been undertaken within southern Africa, the findings of this study provide a basis upon which future research may emerge.

In listening to members of different cultures, it is possible to feel bad, even while recognising that the speaker is trying to speak politely. Sometimes we do not feel very comfortable with someone else’s speech, even though their expressions might be very polite with the choice of specific linguistic forms to show a high level of formality such as terms of address and specific types of formulaic expression such as ' I (don 't) think ... ' or ' I (don't) believe' . The speaker may be intending to speak politely in a considerate way. But the hearer's reaction may be quite different.

Full textAbstract:
Collections of tangible heritage and material culture found in university museums present both challenges and opportunities for their parent institutions. The identification and recognition of objects and collections of material ‘heritage’ proves difficult to universities, due to the formation and utilisation of their collections. Although each university possesses a history of varied content, length and significance, the rich heritage collections kept by universities remain undefined and largely unknown. This thesis addresses new and changing roles for university museums and collections, focusing on the issues surrounding heritage. What purpose does an institutional collection of academic heritage serve beyond preserving or representing the history of a university? Using data collected during the field research programme and two case studies (University of St Andrews and University of Liverpool) the thesis explores the definition and role of heritage in the university. Through the exploration of these topics, the thesis provides a new model for university collecting institutions based on the concept of ‘university heritage’ and ‘institutional identity’, encompassing collections ranging from subject-specific departmental teaching collections to commemorative collections of fine art. By utilising these once undefined and underappreciated collections, universities can use the heritage objects and material culture representative of their academic history and traditions as institutional promotion to potential students, staff and funding bodies.

The era of globalisation presented opportunities for China corporations to expand to overseas markets. After the execution of the China-Australia Free Trade Agreement in 2015, there is a considerable interest for Chinese corporations to invest and expand to Australia. Notwithstanding the favourable legal and political environment to support the expansion of Chinese corporations, including China based banks to Australian market; one potential hindrance to such expansion plan is the cultural differences between both countries. This dissertation aims to research on the potential issues arising from the cultural differences faced by China banks in their expansion plan to overseas market in particularly Australia and also how resolve such differences OCAI scores indicate that banks in mainland China scored higher for hierarchy culture (50.11) compared to overseas banks (30.11) which indicate that China banks’ structure are designed to maintain the stability and control of the banks by higher management. Interview conducted with nineteen (19) respondents indicates that there are contrasting views by the respondents on whether cultural differences play an important role in human resource management for banks. For client facing role, some respondents view that cultural similarity could be an advantage when dealing with clients but some consider ability and knowledge to be more important. Notwithstanding this, cultural differences are definitely an important aspect for human resource management for banks expanding to overseas market with different culture. It is recommended that bank management to employ a mixture of team with both Chinese and Australian cultural background to cater to different clientele and also staffs to headquarter office.A era da globalização ofereceu oportunidades às multinacionais Chinesas de se expandirem para os mercados estrangeiros.Após a implementação do Acordo de Comércio Livre entre a China e Australia em 2015,há um considerável interesse das multinacionais Chinesas investirem e expandirem-se na Austrália. Não obstante o contexto legal e politico favorável à expansão das multinacionais Chinesas,incluindo a banca Chinesa operando no mercado Australiano, as diferenças culturais, entre os dois paises poderão constituir um obstaculo a essa expansão. Esta dissertação procura investigar em que medida os problemas potenciais resultantes das diferenças culturais que os bancos Chineses poderão enfrentar no decurso do seu plano de expansão para mercados internacionais e particularmente para a Austrália e tambem como dar resposta a tais diferenças Os resultados do questionário OCAI indicam que os bancos na China Continental tem valores mais elevados na cultura hierárquica (50.11) o que sugere qua as estruturas dos bancos da China são desenhadas para garantir a estabilidade e o control pela direção de topo.

The global emphasis on culture and creation has brought policymaking to the attention of related industries in many countries. Combining local cultural and creative industries with international trading not only creates business opportunities and economic values but also facilitates cultural exchange between nations. The development of such industries involves concerns related to intellectual property (IP) rights. If creators have acquired intellectual property rights for their writings and patents and make effective use of protective measures, when their intellectual properties are plagiarized, they can file lawsuits or issue warnings to protect their rights and interests. This highlights the importance of intellectual property rights to cultural and creative creations. In 2002, the Executive Yuan incorporated the “Cultural and Creative Industries Development Plan” into the “Challenge 2008: National Development Plan”. Taiwan’s cultural and creative industries began to receive increasing attention and gradually develop. However, although the concept of intellectual property rights have been promoted for many years, local cultural and creative businesses have a limited knowledge of intellectual property, do not know how to protect their own creativities, and even underestimate the importance of intellectual property rights to creators. Furthermore, few research materials and academic papers are available regarding integrating intellectual property rights into the overall process of cultural and creative products from research and development to market release. This study was conducted through literature analyses and interviews with personnel of related businesses in domestic cultural and creative industries. The objective of this study was to explore current problems concerning intellectual property rights in Taiwan and the countermeasures adopted by the cultural and creative product industries; subsequently, the collected information was integrated into strategic plans for relevant enterprises to understand the importance of their intellectual property rights and how to protect their interests through the execution of such rights. Besides, this study also explored the intellectual property protection of indigenous people’s traditional creations, since they have their specific characteristics differing from general creations. The results indicated that in general, some small- and medium-sized cultural and creative enterprises in Taiwan consider intellectual property rights dispensable. Due to markets changing rapidly, the enterprises instead sustain their innovation to maintain competitiveness. Moreover, lawsuits in Taiwan are expensive and time-consuming and do not ensure victory for the plaintiff; therefore, they tend to avoid applying for intellectual property rights or disputing them. Most enterprises apply for patents only for particular products. However, such enterprises have no knowledge about the methods of addressing follow-up disputes over intellectual property rights. Although large cultural and creative enterprises pay attention to intellectual property management, they still encounter substantial difficulty when faced with intellectual property infringement. Additionally, intellectual property management strategies that can serve as references for cultural and creative entrepreneurs were also proposed according to product development processes.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis looks at the way cultural heritage can be more broadly considered to include
intangible aspects of our lives. Such intangible heritage encompasses the general values
and worldviews of a community and enshrines a community’s character and identity.
Through meanings, associations, values and ways of life, people individually and
collectively create a meaningful relationship with place. Place and community are
mutually constituted through social action and practice and the attribution of meaning in a
process of ‘place making’ and of reasserting belonging.
It is recognised that communities are fluid categories that can be ‘re-sited’ in relation to
new questions or different places and times. Both individual and community identity are a
form of production, and consist as a process that is never complete. That is, identity is not
only a matter of ‘being’ but also a process of ‘becoming’. By addressing case studies in
three World Heritage listed locations – Magnetic Island (Australia), Avebury (England)
and Ayutthaya (Thailand) – the thesis considers the dissonance between heritage as
defined and practised through hegemonic instruments and discourses (including
international organisations, bureaucratic structures and the Academy), and heritage as
conceived by contemporary communities as being the aspects of their lived existence that
they desire to retain for future generations.
Through discussion of emplaced communities and a series of case studies, consideration
is given to the hegemonic dominance of sanctioned determinations of heritage that
attribute significance and in the process can mute local values and narratives. The thesis
challenges the ongoing emphasis on tangible aspects of heritage and reviews the
natural/cultural heritage dichotomy, demonstrating that attachments to nature are
predicated on experiences, practices and engagements with the environment that are
grounded in social and cultural processes. I further explore the way in which the voicing
of opinions in a struggle over place can be regulated by prevailing scientific discourses
and discursive fields, placing a reliance on arguments about conservation that are
ancillary to more specific but less articulatable concerns to do with place and identity.
Finally, I illustrate the significance of the lived traditions, rituals, ceremonies, skills and
practices of the contemporary communities to a holistic understanding of heritage at both
the local and broader levels.
I conclude that it is by understanding what it is that communities find important, and how
such attachments and values are formed, transmitted and retained to create a ‘sense of
place’, that community participation in heritage can be meaningfully achieved.
Community assertions of the aspects of their lives that can be considered important to
pass on to their children are not enshrined in the monuments, structures and archaeology
that heritage professionals are more likely to identify, but in the sense of belonging that
arises through the mutual construction of community and place, reinforced through social
practices, memories and local narratives.

Full textAbstract:
The management of Aboriginal cultural heritage in intensively
settled and farmed regions of Australia faces legal and ethical
challenges. This study examines how fifteen farmers from the
Tatiara District of South Australia perceive Aboriginal Cultural
Resources (ACR) and Aboriginal Cultural Heritage (ACH) on their
freehold farmland. Drawing on the concept of cultural heritage as
a cultural process, the thesis employs an Interpretive
Phenomenological Analysis (IPA)
methodology to interpret the findings of detailed interviews
which explored the perspectives of farmer stakeholders and the
way ACR and ACH is managed in farming contexts.
Previous research on Aboriginal heritage has focused on the
interests and perspectives of Aboriginal, professional and
government stakeholders. However, in terms of effective
management of ACR and ACH in farming landscapes, a
pivotal ‘first step’ is understanding the points of view of
the farmers on whose land the ACR resides: how Aboriginal
heritage fits within the ‘lived life’ of agriculture; what
farmers know of South Australian Aboriginal cultural heritage
protection legislation and administration; and how they
understand the protection of ACR and ACH on their farms.
This thesis finds that, despite uncertain understandings of
cultural heritage, Tatiara farmers have a positive attitude
toward protecting and preserving ACR. However, a marginalisation
of farmers in Aboriginal heritage management leaves them feeling
ignorant, incompetent, vulnerable and reluctant to engage and
deal with Aboriginal issues. These findings highlight the
significance of including all stakeholders in cultural heritage
management regimes and of facilitating dialogue between farmers
and those Aboriginal communities for whom the cultural
resources on farms have the potential to become heritage.
Stakeholder cooperation and collaboration is particularly
necessary in circumstances where cultural resources are divorced
from cultural knowledge, control and ownership. The results of
this study suggest that efficacious
Aboriginal heritage management in cross-cultural situations rests
on an investment in the capacity of non-Aboriginal stakeholders
to engage with Aboriginal cultures and heritage, and for
Aboriginal people to engage with ‘known’ and ‘unknown’
ACR with the potential to become ACH. The conclusion of this
study is that worthwhile Aboriginal heritage management will
likely emanate from mutual respectful, trusting relationships,
developed in local ethical
spaces supporting stakeholder cross-cultural communication,
negotiation and collaboration.

Protected heritage area management is challenged by conflicting priorities perpetuated by the real and perceived dichotomy between cultural and natural resource management, their practitioners, their disciplines, and their values. Current guidelines promote integrating cultural and natural resource management to ensure holistic management of all values within a protected heritage area. This paper uses the management of the Cave and Basin National Historic Site to illustrate challenges in protecting both historic and natural resources. A qualitative inductive study included analysis of interview and focus group data for the site and similar protected heritage areas. The gap between integrative policies and the tendency for uni-disciplinary approaches to the practice of managing protected heritage areas is investigated. Five barriers to integration, such as lack of awareness, and five methods for progress, including facilitated inclusion, are examined. The author proposes collaborative, sustainable, values-based practices for the successful integration of cultural and natural resource management.

Since the late 1970s, archaeology has grown into an industry whose
practitioners work in both public and private sectors. As an industry, modern
archeology is commonly known as Cultural Resources Management, or CRM. CRM
emerged from a surplus of employment opportunities made available to archeologists
after the passing of National heritage legislation. This legislation defines the
importance of discovering, documenting, and recovering the places and objects
associated with people and events important to United States' history.
As there are many different people who are considered to be important to
United States' history (e.g., past presidents, Native Americans), there are as many
different archeologists seeking to participate in its interpretation, each with various
educational and experience backgrounds. While CRM has been successful in partially
piecing back together history, its practitioners confront numerous challenges. These
challenges are often associated with meeting the standards outlined by the legislation
but also include challenges associated with industry personnel. In some cases, the
industry's efforts to meet these standards have led to labor problems.
As a result, many CRM employees today see a separation between industry
managers and industry laborers that has made it increasingly difficult to fulfill the
goals of the legislation and to ultimately contribute to our understanding of the past.
Primarily, the role and contribution of field technicians to CRM is being debated by
many CRM practitioners.
This thesis explores the relationship between the two primary CRM personnel
parties - the managers and laborers in an effort to define the labor problems
confronting CRM personnel, how they have evolved, and what solutions are available
to them (both managers and laborers). To this end, I surveyed industry managers and
field technicians to better understand how each perceives the role of field technicians.
Challenges confronting CRM personnel will be shown to partially stem from
low industry wages, deficient safety policies and procedures, out-dated academic
curricula, and a lack of communication between managers and field technicians.
Investigations of the relationship between management and labor provide a unique
opportunity to explore a multitude of questions related to CRM employment over the
past two decades and in the future.Graduation date: 2001

Western research dominates in areas of theories and models which describe organisational behaviours, human resource management and workplace participation. However the 21st century brings new challenges. Findings to-date suggest that attitudes and values are strongly culture specific therefore many facets now require re-thinking by human resource specialists and organisational behavioural theorists. For instance, the globalisation of the market economy has dramatically changed the contemporary business environment. As a direct consequence of the globalisation process, the nature of organisational structures and workforce diversity has also changed. Such changes may make the application of Western theories less relevant to explain behaviours and attitudes of contemporary employees around the world. Therefore, there is a need for expanding our cross-cultural understanding in order to provide practical knowledge to enhance people and business management so that organisations can remain successful nationally and internationally. Comparative cross-cultural studies are required to expand on Western theories and models. The present study acknowledged and regarded the importance of cross-cultural studies to date, and endeavoured to expand on the extant knowledge by providing specific information relating to two diverse countries. The aim of the research project is to examine two measurable areas of organisational behaviours namely leadership styles and managerial career aspirations of female and male managers in Malaysia and Australia to explore the similarities and differences between the groups. The study found differences within and between female and male managers in Malaysia and Australia in terms of leadership styles, perception of effectiveness, perceptions towards managerial career aspirations and perceived promotion opportunities during the quantitative and qualitative data collection stages. The study concludes by providing empirical evidence to refute the universality of Western theories and models in all cultures. The analysis of both quantitative and qualitative data revealed significant differences in terms of values, behaviours and attitudes of managers in the two diverse cultures which have important implications for work and employment. This suggests that Western theories and models of organisational behaviour and workplace participation are not universally applicable, appropriate or relevant in all cultural environments. Implications for theory and practice in the light of an enhanced cross-cultural understanding were recommended.Doctor of Philosophy

Johannesburg 2015What happens when a rural community expresses the need for a heritage centre? Located in the former Transkei homeland of the apartheid era, now in the Eastern Cape Province, Matatiele is one of many disadvantaged, though culturally rich, communities in South Africa. The region has received insufficient attention to its heritage concerns and has been neglected by government and by academics for decades. Motivated by the Mehloding Community Trust, a project run by the Matatiele community, this research addresses the local community’s perception of heritage. This includes, amongst other things, their views on heritage management strategies and in particular the significance of rock art. One hundred and forty individuals from fifteen selected villages were interviewed to ascertain their interest in a heritage centre by way of representing and managing their own heritage. This research, therefore, addresses the nature of community involvement in heritage management and archaeology in the south-eastern part South Africa.

Full textAbstract:
Navigating cultural collections in museums can be a particular
and challenging task. Indigenous cultural objects in museum
collections all over the world are widely understood as having
been removed from their Indigenous contexts and placed within new
structures, given new meanings, within new hierarchies of value
in systems associated with the colonial imperative. Therefore,
for Indigenous Australians, the continuing consequences of such
histories, ensure that encounters with cultural material from
their communities are also encounters with these different
hierarchies of value; they are encounters with uneven
relationships of power in which they find themselves or their
families implicated, and possibly even encounters with a
contemporary reluctance to engage with difficult histories.
This thesis critically examines my encounters with collected
cultural material associated with my country—Yuwaalaraay
country, the inland freshwater region of north western New South
Wales. These encounters are explored in relation to key
postcolonial frameworks including museums as contact zones (Pratt
1992; Clifford 1997), as well as cultural interface theory
(Nakata 2002, 2007). Through these lenses, and by drawing on an
adapted form of autoethnography, I explore sites of agency and
potential, as well as probe limitations brought about by
persistently defining the relationships between museums and
source communities as dichotomous–the ultimate colonial legacy
of the ‘self’ and the ‘other’. Finally, inspired by
European studies of folklife, my research invites a
reconsideration of historical Indigenous cultural material in

everyday life and experience, fundamentally grounded by a
uniquely Indigenous Australian consideration of the concept of
‘country’.

Full textAbstract:
The stakeholder management framework of the 1980s and the triple bottom line
framework of the 1990s strengthened corporate social responsibility but these
frameworks could not bring about fundamental change in the role of businesses in society
in relation to value creation. Hence, by the beginning of the present century, drawing on
the ‘Sustainable Value’ and ‘Shared Value’ business models, the selected Australian
banking and property organisations are striving to leverage on business strategies for
generation of social and economic values. However, the Australian academic literature
and industry reports demonstrate limited contributions to the sustainable and shared value
literature, and hence, failing to support and deliver a comprehensive business model. To
fill this conceptual and practical gap in the Australian industrial context, this study is
undertaken with a view to recommend an alternative business model to integrate socioenvironmental issues and opportunities into core business strategy.
Research objectives of the underlying study are to: a) explore the adoption of
components of the applied sustainable value and shared value business models by
Australian banking and property organisations for social and economic value creation;
and b) empirically develop an alternative business model for the Australian banking and
property industries based on emerging thematic components from industry-wide
interview responses.
Based on the interpretive paradigm, this study has adopted a qualitative multiple
case study design to conduct semi-structured open-ended face-to-face interviews. The
cases (n=8) in the banking and property industries have been selected through a purposive
critical sampling approach.
A thematic NVivo analysis was conducted based on four thematic components
derived from the applied sustainable and shared value business models, namely clean
technology, sustainability vision at the bottom of the pyramid, reconceiving of
products/services and redefining of the value chain. This study explores how the selected
Australian banking and property organisations are utilising various thematic components
for social and economic value creation in addition to other components (i.e.
customer/stakeholder engagement, community resilience) not otherwise categorically
mentioned within both the above-mentioned models.
The major findings show a number of industry-wide differences, which include a)
banking organisations predominantly leverage sustainability based on product/service
innovation at the bottom of the pyramid level, and b) property organisations predominantly leverage environmental sustainability based on the application of clean
technology through redefining the value chain.
The primary interview data findings suggest that the selected Australian
sustainable and shared value organisations also emphasise the co-creation of value based
on their engagement with customers, stakeholders, and communities. The secondary data
findings suggest that the selected Australian property organisations have ensured a higher
increase in net profit after tax and return on equity compared to the banking organisations.
The secondary data further suggest that organisations (i.e. Suncorp, Charter Hall,
Company X, Stockland) which used the combination of the elements of sustainable and
shared value business models performed better in terms of profitability (i.e. economic
value) than the organisations which only used either the sustainable value (ANZ,
Lendlease) or the shared value (Bendigo, NAB) model. The only exception being
Stockland, which experienced a slight decrease in the return on equity during the 2014-
18 period inspite of almost triple digit increase in net profit during the above-mentioned
period. In terms of social value, the secondary data further suggest that the selected
banking and property organisations have undertaken quite considerable social and
community investments while leveraging on the components of various business models.
The main recommendation of this study is an empirically developed alternative
business model for value co-creation based on two new thematic components, which are
customer/stakeholder engagement and community resilience that emerged from the
industry case interviews. The significance of the study lies in the fact that all future
academic researchers and practice managers should be able to implement the
recommended business model for value co-creation to enhance social and economic
value. One of the other major implications of the study lies in its application of a
stakeholder-centric (i.e. customers, communities) value creation model by Australian
banking organisations which have recently gone through the Financial Services Royal
Commission investigation. The future theoretical implications of this study on value cocreation can be considered in terms of a better understanding of stakeholder theory
(encompassing customers and communities) and agency theory (encompassing valueseeking organisational agents) with respect to the banking and property industry in
Australian context.
