RESEARCH PROJECTS
The determinants of e-business success( a Centre for Corporate Change and INSEAD project) investigates the real impact of the e-business phenomenon by surveying more than 500 companies across Australia, the US and Europe. The survey looks at strategic pressures, the nature of organisational change and corporate characteristics. Aggregate results will be published later in the year. If you would like to participate in this study, please contact PhD candidate Tim Coltman, e-mail: timc @ agsm. edu. au or ccc @ agsm. edu. au.
E-intelligence and corporate strategy is a research project led by Centre for Corporate Change director, Timothy Devinney. The research will examine the usage of Internet and legacy system generated data, the prospects and difficulties faced by companies in integrating and turning this data into managerially useful knowledge, and the beliefs that managers possess about the future potential of Internet and legacy system generated data. Results will be presented at a series of seminars in late March. For seminar details, contact Anne Fitzsimmons at e-mail: ccc @ agsm. edu. au.
Consumer Assessment of Social Product Features( funded by ARC) will investigate the degree to which consumers understand and place a value on the social dimensions of products. This study aims to redress the lack of academic research on consumer valuation of social issues. The project will commence in 2001 and conclude in 2002.
Promoting perspective-taking for success investigates the drivers, and effects on performance, of employees seeing others’ viewpoints, or taking their perspective. A Canadian study investigates how, through transformational leadership, managers can promote greater perspective-taking among employees and, thereby, increase their ability to work in teams. Results will be published later in the year. If you would like to participate in the study, please contact associate professor Sharon Parker at e-mail: sharonp @ agsm. edu. au. ✪
