Business Schools in an Age of Globalisation
No full textPurpose – The purpose of this paper is to consider the role of the business school now and in the future.
Design/methodology/approach – The paper takes the form of an editorial review and argument.
Findings – The paper acknowledges the impact of globalization and “marketization” on business schools.
Research limitations/implications – The editorial offers scope for accounting academics to engage with the university and protect against business school corporatization and/or privatization.
This is an important issue in higher education, not only in Australia, but internationally.
Originality/value – The paper provides important empirical data and research information to scholars in the interdisciplinary accounting field of research about the future for business schools
Corporate Social Capital in Business Innovation Networks
No full textThis paper explores the role of corporate social capital (CSC) in business innovation. Two models are introduced; one model for CSC which broadly incorporates traditional intellectual capital (IC) elements and corporate reputation, and a second model for innovation from a networking perspective.
The innovation model, called ‘the three Es’, identifies the critical central connector and broker roles within the three innovation sub-processes of exploration, engagement and exploitation. The sub-elements of CSC, being network centrality, absorptive capacity, human capital, internal capital and financial soundness are then assessed for their influence on the identified innovation roles. An analysis of the global information technology (IT) services sector is then used to illustrate the practical application of the analytical technique described
Review-article: Soundtracks to the 'People's War'
No full textBooks under review: Christina L. Baade, Victory Through Harmony: The BBC and Popular Music in World War II (New York: Oxford University Press, 2012); Patrick Bade, Music Wars: 1937-1945 (London: East & West Publishing, 2012)
Championing intellectual pluralism
No full textPurpose– This editorial seeks to argue for intellectual pluralism and adventurous enquiry in an era of status badging of publication venues and institutions and to review AAAJ's role, strategies and international recognition in this context.
Design/methodology/approach– The paper is an editorial review and argument.
Findings– The paper acknowledges pressures towards a North American inspired unitary neo‐classical economic view of the accounting world and related badging of higher education institutions and research publications globally. It identifies the community of accounting scholars including AAAJ with wider and more pluralist philosophies and research agendas.
Research limitations/implications– The paper offers scope and associated recognition for researchers prepared to take up and address a wide array of theoretical perspectives and research issues of global significance.
Originality/value– The paper provides important empirical data and research network information to scholars in the interdisciplinary accounting field of research
Managerial Attitudes Towards Stakeholder Salience within Selected Western Pacific-Rim Economies
No full textThis study empirically examines the attitudes of managers and managerial students in Australia, China and Indonesia, toward the perceived prominence of selected organisational stakeholders. A development model is used to argue that Australian respondents will perceive greater equality in prominence between the selected organisational stakeholders than their Chinese and Indonesian counterparts. Results indicated that Chinese respondents attributed greater prominence toward Government as an organisational stakeholder, and contrary to expectations, perceived greater equality (less variance) in prominence between stakeholders. The study provides a basis on which further work on the perceptions of stakeholder prominence can be undertaken in different contexts.</p

L-DOPA and serotonergic neurons: functional implication and therapeutic perspectives in Parkinson's disease
No full textL-DOPA is the gold standard medication of Parkinson's disease, a neurological disorder consequent upon the degeneration of mesencephalic dopaminergic neurons. The therapeutic efficacy of L-DOPA has been related to its ability to restore dopamine (DA) extracellular levels in the Parkinsonian brain. The origin of the L-DOPA-induced rise in DA has been the object of numerous studies and controversies but the data collectively point to serotonergic (5-HT) neurons as being most significant in the release. Here, we review biochemical and behavioral evidence supporting serotonergic neurons as playing the main role in the actions of L-DOPA, considered from two points of view. The main aspect concerns the biochemical demonstration that 5-HT neurons are almost solely implicated in the release of DA induced by L-DOPA. The mechanism of action of L-DOPA inside 5-HT neurons will be thoroughly dissected on the basis of L-DOPA effects on extracellular versus tissue DA levels. The unique contribution of 5-HT neurons in mediating the release of newly synthesised DA from L-DOPA will be discussed in parallel with DA-dependent behaviors induced by L-DOPA. The other, and neglected, aspect concerns the possible deleterious impact of the presence of L-DOPA inside 5-HT neurons on 5-HT neuronal function. Overall, the fact that 5-HT neurons release the newly synthesised DA from L-DOPA in multiple brain regions beyond the striatum gives new insight into the large impact of L-DOPA in the Parkinsonian brain and strengthens therapeutic perspectives targeting the 5-HT system to reduce both motor and non-motor complications of L-DOPA medicatio
