Foreword
Over 2013 and 2014 the School of
Business at UNSW Canberra has made
great strides in improving its research
performance and focus, and a strong
research culture is evident across the
School. Following an external review
of the School in late 2013, the School
identified three key areas of research
focus: logistics and business systems
modelling; public sector management;
and governance and strategic decision-
making. Over the coming years, the
School aims to strengthen its international
reputation for high quality research based
on increased collaboration among staff in
the School across these three
research areas.

Research themes
Research in the School of Business has three focus areas of research concerning the
business of organisations. These areas are interrelated and cross-area collaborative
research is expected to develop further in the future. Across these three areas, we co-
operate with a range of external stakeholders and research partners.

Academic research profiles
Professor Deborah Blackman
Public administration and management are core areas of the School’s research agenda.
One academic who is at the forefront of this important research field is the School’s
Professor of Public Sector Management Strategy, Deborah Blackman.
Professor Blackman, in conjunction with Professor O’Donnell, will work with one of the
School’s three research groups − Public Sector Management. Not only does Professor
Blackman believe that the variety of disciplines available in the School provides unique
opportunities, she also thinks the diversity will enhance the collaboration with the other
research groups. In this respect, she considers the Governance and Decision-Making
group to provide the most potential, but also sees the possibility to connect with projects
from the Logistics research group.

Professor Kerry Jacobs
Kerry Jacobs is a Professor of Accounting at UNSW Canberra who is interested in
understanding how governance and accountability operates within society. This interest
means Professor Jacobs is not your typical accounting academic as his research often
traverses disciplinary boundaries in an effort to better understand the nature of practice.
In fact, it is the intersection between various academic disciplines and practice that he
finds most fascinating. As Professor Jacobs points out, ‘I’m interested in how accounting
fits into everything else’. Furthermore, he explains that his expansive approach is
primarily thanks to the interdisciplinary co-authors that he has published with in the past.
The result of this broad research focus means that Professor Jacobs’ research has not
only been published in accounting journals, but has also found its way into journals that
specialise in public administration and public policy.
The specific focus of Professor Jacobs’ research has been on the evolution and
practice of performance audit in government and the nature of accountability in the
public realm more generally. This has led to a number of projects that have had a
direct impact on society at both the strategic and operational levels. From his work
developing performance audit approaches with the Australian National Audit Office
(ANAO), to the assistance that he has provided Aboriginal corporations in establishing
better governance arrangements, Professor Jacobs’ research has clearly had a positive
influence. Combine this with his contributions on the two Auditors-General Committees
he sits on and it’s easy to see that practice is, indeed, an integral part of his research
agenda. ‘The trick’, Professor Jacobs argues, ‘is to use your research to speak to two
worlds’ − academia and practice.
Moving forward, Professor Jacobs’ research experience will also prove invaluable in
helping the School of Business develop one of its three research groups. The research
group, Governance and Decision-Making, will benefit from Professor Jacobs’ expertise
to drive a number of projects whilst also developing the research skills of junior
academics. Along with Professors Chand and Tani, Professor Jacobs will provide the
academic guidance required for the Group’s success.

Dr Omar Hussain
Dr Hussain is interested in understanding how organisations measure and manage risk
in an ever-changing environment caused by technological advances. Primarily, these
advances are being driven by the networking advantages provided by cloud computing
and recent access to vast amounts of data (Big Data) which will lead to uncovering
many different insights by which decisions in environments, such as logistics, can be
made better.
The impact of Dr Hussain’s research has the potential to provide significant benefits to
society. The focus of Dr Hussain’s research is Australia’s service sector which represents
approximately 68% of Australia’s GDP. The success of this sector increasingly relies
on its use of technologies, such as cloud computing and informed decision-making, to
enable service organisations to better understand the risks involved in their business.
In addition, such decision-making tools can assist firms to choose vendors that pose a
lower risk to the organisation over those that pose a higher risk.
To demonstrate the nature of the risks involved, if organisations are unable to access
important business data or access a service, because the cloud service is unavailable,
business could be lost. Although reduced access to information could lead to a variety
of issues − large and small − in extreme situations, business failure could ultimately be
the price that is paid. Therefore tools that reduce this risk can, indeed, contribute greatly
to the stability of Australia and its economy.

student profile
Robert Wylie
I joined the School of Business, UNSW Canberra, after 30 years in the Australian
Public Service. My PhD journey started when the School engaged me to teach certain
postgraduate courses, initially on a ‘professional qualified’ basis.
Two factors drove my decision to undertake a doctorate. The first factor was the
University’s requirement for professionally qualified staff to become ‘academically
qualified’ by completing a PhD. The second was my desire to make sense of certain
aspects of my professional experience. As a member of the School’s staff, I undertook
my PhD part time.
My PhD topic emerged from my desire to make sense of my experience with Australian
military technological innovation during my work in the Australian Department of
Defence. I wanted to understand how Australia chose between local ‘make’ and
imported ‘buy’ solutions to its requirements for military capability. I particularly wanted to
understand why Australia’s ‘make’ solutions became so problematic.
However, I took considerable time to grasp the case study methodology. My supervisor’s
guidance was crucial in curbing my tendency to tell a story and in leading me to develop
the robust theoretical framework required for a doctorate. In addition, I underestimated
the amount of time and effort required to prepare satisfactory case studies – a challenge
exacerbated by my teaching obligations. Critical to my meeting this challenge was my
interest in the topic, the sustained encouragement of my supervisor, my obligation to
report progress to the school periodically and the steady support of the head of school.
My research question and my case studies co-evolved: the final version of the research
question only precipitated out after I had finished assembling the case study data.
Production of the final thesis then proceeded relatively quickly. But as I became totally
immersed in the drafting, I became increasingly reliant on my supervisor and other
colleagues for cold reader testing of my expression and logic.
After initial hesitation, I decided to participate in the University’s formal degree conferral
ceremony. I was glad I did so: the ritual allowed my family to share my deep personal
satisfaction in finally completing what was the most intellectually and emotionally
demanding task I have ever attempted.
