Research Topics

Corporate and Institutional Strategies for Climate Change: An International Comparative Analysis
This research project will advance knowledge about one of the most significant yet poorly understood problems facing the world today – global climate change. It will create greater understanding about how interactions between market, state and civil society actors shape climate change strategies. By conducting a comparative analysis of climate change strategy in Australia, Germany, the U.K. and the U.S. the research will provide a database of best practices in climate change strategy and policy. The project is significant because it will build knowledge on how business firms can develop new climate-specific capabilities. The findings can help policy makers, managers and interest groups develop more proactive climate change strategies.
Environmental and Social Responsibility in the Small and Medium Sized Enterprise Sector: Challenges and Prospects
This research project examines the range of environmental and social responsibility strategies used by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), the driving forces behind these strategies and the barriers to implementation. Using an innovative multi-stakeholder approach, the research will provide a framework for integrating social and environmental issues into SME business strategies. The findings of the study will help SMEs develop best practices in environmental and social responsibility as well as enable policy makers to design more effective incentives for SMEs to improve their environmental and social performance.
Social and Cultural Factors in Indigenous Enterprise Management and Governance.
The project addresses Indigenous economic self-sufficiency by developing a model of Indigenous enterprise development and governance. By focusing on sustainability of Indigenous communities in remote areas, the project contributes to National Research Priority 3 (Promoting and maintaining good health: Strengthening Australia's social and economic fabric). The project addresses the National framework of principles for delivering services to Indigenous Australians developed by the Council of Australian Governments by seeking new ways to promote economic participation and development, supporting capacity at local and regional levels and building opportunities for indigenous families and individuals to become self-sufficient.
