Graduate development programmes such as FUSION continue to be seen by policy makers, higher education institutions and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as primary means of strengthening higher education–business links and in turn improving the match between graduate output and the needs of industry. This paper provides evidence from case studies. The findings indicate that the practical application of academic principles in real-world settings provides a useful learning vehicle for academics, graduates and SMEs. Key success factors and strategies for overcoming obstacles emerged from the case studies. In light of these findings, the authors make tentative recommendations to aid the future delivery of similar programmes.

AbstractThe Waste Wise Schools Program was established by EcoRecycle Victoria to implement waste and litter education in Victorian schools. It is now operating in over 900 schools in Victoria and 300 schools in other Australian states / territories. This paper provides detailed case studies of two active schools in the Waste Wise Schools Program and considers for each school how the Program started, what it meant to the school, the environmental, educational, social and economic outcomes of the Program and the key success factors. It discusses evidence that the Program has changed the thinking and behaviour of many families at the schools, suggesting that the children may be acting as catalysts to influence their parent's waste wise behaviour, i.e. having an intergenerational influence. Guidelines for promoting this influence are proposed.

Customer Values

In order to solve environmental problems, a transition from conventional business to environmentally conscious business (eco-business) is urgently needed. Support for finding eco-business ideas will help to promote this transition. As a step in this direction, this paper takes an approach that provides a business designer with general rules and prerequisites extracted from existing eco-businesses. This paper collects 130 examples of eco-businesses in Japan and then investigates and classifies them to develop general guidelines and checklists for success. As a result, four kinds of customer value provided by eco-businesses, eight rules that couple the the reduction of environmental load of society with the four customer values, and eight rules for cutting business costs are derived. A tool for planning a new eco-businesses is also proposed.

Gas Potential

Australia’s world-class CSG resource has seen the country emerge as a global unconventional gas player. Three LNG plants are being constructed, with more than US$50 billion committed to be spent in the sector before 2020. Australia’s unconventional gas story does not stop there. Operators now have shale and tight gas potential, where exploration is now underway in a number of basins across the country. As with CSG, the initial steps are being taken by the industries’ smaller companies; however, established players like Mitsubishi, Hess, BG and ConocoPhillips have been quick to buy into the opportunity—and at a fraction of the cost of the proven CSG plays. So can shale or tight gas emerge as Australia next major play? This presentation summarises activity levels and discusses which basins present the greatest potential. It also considers the challenges that lie in wait to commercialise new discoveries and the case studies of the US shale and Australian CSG plays to identify key success factors. This short abstract contains only presentation slides.

The Creation

In this study, we investigate the phenomenon of patent aggregators, entities that license or acquire patents from third parties with the goal of commercialising them through sale, licensing, enforcement, or the creation of new patent-based companies. We classify patent aggregators into four distinct types according to the following two main dimensions: the level of value added to a technology and the aggressiveness of their commercialisation strategy. We then construct a comprehensive map of patent aggregators established in Europe and analyse four case studies in greater depth. We discuss and compare characteristics of patent aggregators, their patent aggregation and commercialisation strategies, their main barriers and key success factors. Our findings lead to several policy and managerial recommendations.

Corporate entrepreneurship (CE), flexibility (F), and market orientation (MO) are being recognized as key success factors in our increasingly competitive, global economy. This study builds a model (CEFMO) and examines the relationships among these factors and the relationship between these variables and business performance. All of these factors are controllable by management. Practical application of this research can lead to increased effectiveness for the firm and benefits for the firm's stakeholders.
