WELCOME
This second issue of the Faculty of Business Research Newsletter describes more of the
excellent research that is being undertaken by researchers in the Faculty. This includes a
number of new externally funded projects, including an ARC Linkage Grant received by Dr
Yeslam Al-Saggaf and Dr Oliver Burmeister in the area of ICT Ethics, a large ACIAR
(Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research) grant received by Dr Branka
Krivokapic-Skoko that focuses on Farm Mechanisation and Sustainable Agriculture.
Several other projects are also described in this issue, including the work being completed
in China by Professors Hicks and Sharma, Associate Professor PK Basu and Dr Yapa
Bandara, and a new project valuing river health in Sydney involving a new PhD student
Buyani Thomy, which is supervised by Dr Roderick Duncan and myself.
The issue includes a summary of recent publications by researchers in the Faculty. It is
very pleasing to see so many publications, and in so many quality journals. I‟m regularly
hearing from Faculty academics who are telling me of their publications in quality journals,
and it is very encouraging to hear this.
In this issue we‟ll also find out more about a couple of researchers in the Faculty of
Business: Dr Rafiqul Islam from the School of Computing and Maths, and Dr Sophia Duan
who is a new addition to the School of Management and Marketing. We‟ll also hear about
Dr Melanie Bryant‟s recent travels to Italy to attend the European Society for Rural
Sociology (ESRS) conference.
The issue includes a number of updates for academics, including about the new university
ethics process. The new NEAF ethics form replaces the old ethics form that can no longer
be used. Please remember that all research involving human subjects must receive ethics
approval prior to commencement of field research. Note that the School ethics committees
are very efficient, and can move quite quickly if you indicate that the review is urgent.

CURRENT PROJECTS
ARC Linkage Project: Overcoming ethical problems facing ICT professionals
Dr Yeslam Al-Saggaf and Dr Oliver Burmeister of the
Faculty of Business, along with their colleagues
Professor John Weckert, of the Faculty of Arts, and Mr
John Ridge of the Australian Computer Society have
recently been awarded an ARC Linkage grant. The
project also received funding from their industry
research partner, The Australian Computer Society.
The three year project titled „Investigating which
strategies are most effective in overcoming the ethical
problems facing information and communications
technology (ICT) professionals‟, commenced in July of
this year.
The project will
investigate the
types of ethical
problems
information and
communications
technology
(ICT)
professionals commonly face at work and which
strategies are most effective in solving them. The key
output of this project will be an interactive multimediarich website that will enable ICT professionals to
deliberate on an ethical problem and come up with the
best option for solving it.
The team will travel to each of the Australian capital
cities to conduct interviews and focus groups with ICT
professionals. At present the team are planning the
research schedule.
The team aims to publish at least two ERA rated
journal articles and present two conference papers
based on the research results.

Mobile health monitoring – Enhancing the health of rural and regional Australians
Dr Tanveer Zia, Associate Head of School within the
School of Computing and Mathematics, is working on
the initial stages of a new cloud-based health
monitoring system which could enable doctors and
their patient to be hundreds of kilometres away from
each other.
Dr Zia is working with PhD student, Nesa
Mouzehkesh, and research assistant, Saman Shafigh,
to develop the system which will free the patient from
being monitored in controlled or supervised settings.
The system, combines wearable sensors, wireless
sensor networks, smart devices and cloud computing
to continuously monitor and manage the vital statistics
of patients. The team also plans to develop real-time
alerts on a patient‟s status. Alerts could be sent via
smartphones to medical practioners, ambulance
services and a nominated caregiver when data went
beyon a given threshold. The research has the
potential to contribute to increasing the health of the
elderly, especially in rural and regional areas where
immediate access to medical facilities is scarcer.
The team has currently tested the system on an
Android platform but are planning to include other
platforms as well. A prototype is expected early next
year, with the fully functioning system approximately
three years away.
The research was largely inspired by the aim to
produce beneficial and practical research outcomes to
Australia‟s ageing population.
More information on this project is available in a recent
article in ZDNet http://www.zdnet.com/health-checksvia-smartphones-tablets-on-the-way-7000018531/

Urban River Research
Mr Buyani Thomy, a Faculty of Business PhD student,
is examining the Cooks and Georges Rivers in Sydney
to estimate the value to urban communities of
improved riverine health.
Buyani, is undertaking an environmental economics
PhD titled „Valuing the benefits of improved urban river
health‟. The research will use a newly-developed
approach that combines hedonic price and travel cost
methods to access the amenity and recreational
values of improving the health of river systems.
Most river research in Australia has been undertaken
in remote or rural areas, with a focus on agricultural
production or biodiversity. This research focuses on
both people and urban rivers. Buyani will be using
economics to measure how much people value the
recreation and natural amenities they get from the
river. He will be examining how much people spend to
get to rivers, as well as looking at the impact of river
health on property values close to the river. The new
approach will also be extended to include property
renters.
Buyani is completing his PhD, under the supervision of
Dr Rod Duncan and Professor Mark Morrison in
association with the CSU Institute for Land, Water and
Society (ILWS) .His work is part of their new project
„The value of
river health to
the
residential
community of
the Georges
and Cooks
River
Catchments‟.
The research
has received $90,000 from the Sydney Catchment
Authority and Canterbury and Fairfield Councils.
Buyani also received a scholarship from the CSIRO
Flagship Postgraduate Top-up Scholarship Program.
Buyani, originally from Botswana, has previously
studied at the University of New England and Griffith
University. He has also worked as a research
economist for a private research and consulting
company in Brisbane, where he mainly evaluated
projects undertaken by Research Development
Corporations (RDCs).

INTERNATIONAL PARTNERSHIPS
Economic Research in China
During the past five years a team of CSU researchers
have been involved in a number of collaborative
research projects within China. The team consisting of
CSU Professors John Hicks and Kishor Sharma,
Associate Professor P.K. Basu and Dr Yapa Bandara
in partnership with Professors Clem Tisdell (University
of Queensland) and Srikanta Chatterjee (Massey
University), along with Adjunct Professor Tom Murphy,
previously of WRI, have researched various aspects of
the Chinese economy.
To date, the team has examined the trade relationship
between China and Australia and its impact on
Australia‟s economic growth (including the demand for
production from Australian regions), the impact of
China‟s ageing
population on
China‟s continued
growth prospects,
the diversity of
China‟s regions,
the importance of
education and
globalisation in
China‟s
development and
the global
environmental
impact of China‟s
continued
development.
4
The opportunity to undertake research in China
stemmed from longstanding and ongoing relationships
with friends and colleagues working in Chinese
universities with whom there had been many reciprocal
visits. Initially, the time in China was teaching related,
but as these programs developed they moved to the
next step of exploring possibilities for research.
Along the way the team has been supported in their
Chinese research endeavours by generous Faculty
and ILWS funding. Additionally, the team has been the
recipient of three AusAID grants (totalling nearly $0.5
million) to bring a number of Chinese colleagues to
Australia for participation in joint research activities.
The team‟s work has resulted in three book chapters,
five ERA journal publications and six conference
presentations and there are a number of new papers in
the pipeline. The team is currently in the process of
preparing papers on the need for China to refocus its
growth ambitions to ensure a more sustainable
economic future.
This ongoing relationship continues to offer many
research opportunities as the Chinese economy
matures and changes.

RECENT TRAVELS
Rural Sociology
Dr Melanie Bryant recently presented a paper at the
European Society for Rural Sociology (ESRS)
conference, which was held in Florence, Italy in July
2013. The paper focused on a discussion of
institutional and organisational challenges that
influence how strategies for dealing with on-farm
disease risk are developed and implemented. Using an
example of the management of a disease outbreak in
the Queensland beef industry, the paper drew
attention to the lack of coordination amongst Australian
governments, as well as across government and
industry organisations, and how this lack of
coordination can influence the adoption of on-farm biosecurity practices.
The paper was one of six presented at the ESRS
conference that is being developed as a research
briefing for the Rural Policy Centre in the UK, which
provides policy briefings to UK bodies such as the
Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
The paper is the first from a research project being
carried out by Melanie in collaboration with Dr Marta
Hernandez-Jover (School of Animal and Veterinary
Sciences) and A/Prof Vaughan Higgins (School of
Humanities and Social Sciences), funded by the
Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry
(DAFF). The broader project is concerned with farm
bio-security practices and the management of
emergency animal disease.
Melanie‟s role in the project is to explore the ways in
which changing bio-security and emergency animal
disease information is communicated to beef
producers, how this influences decisions about
whether or not to adopt/change bio-security practices,
and the roles that various stakeholders play in liaising
between various levels of government and producers.
As part of the project, recommendations about more
effective strategies to communicate bio-security
information to producers will be developed.

ACAIR Funded African Research
As featured in the June issue of Research News, Dr
Branka Krivokapic-Skoko, Senior Lecturer in the
School of Management and Marketing, has recently
travelled to Tanzania to meet with the other members
of the „Farm Mechanization and Conservation
Agriculture for Sustainable Intensification‟ project
team. In March of this year, Branka travelled with
Professor John Blackwell of CSU‟s International
Centre of Water for Food Security, for the official
launch of the project.
During their visit Branka and John attended several
workshops and undertook many field trips within
Tanzania. They visited a number of villages to talk with
local farmers and meet with groups of community
leaders.

representatives of the funding bodies.
The project team consists of representatives from
Ethiopia, Germany, France, Kenya and Australia.
Branka commented that it really was a “small UN”.
The project aims to accelerate the delivery of twowheel based tractors (2WT) to small landholders in
four African countries – Tanzania, Kenya, Zimbabwe
and Ethiopia. The project is funded by the Australian
Centre for International Agriculture (ACAIR) and is part
of a wider aim of achieving global food security.
(Above) A field demonstration of a two-wheel tractor.
Branka comments that “When one sees the extent of
poverty and high labour drudgery in Africa in the first
st
decade of the 21 century one cannot help but to think
of the many unsuccessful „grand‟ plans for Africa, like
the „green revolution‟ and become saddened and
disillusioned”. However, she notes that the future
looks brighter, as there are many young, well-educated
and trained professionals working in the national
teaching centres and regional governments.
While in Tanzania, Branka also discovered a CSU
connection. Branka was introduced to the owner of
one of Africa‟s most successful tourism businesses,
who stated that he had completed his MBA with
Charles Sturt University.
(Above) A field demonstration of a two-wheel tractor.
Branka is currently working on a number of business
models for the delivery of the tractors within the four
countries.
