Material Transfer Agreements and Open Science in the Genome Era. Research paradigms are changing rapidly in the Genome Era. Open access databases are increasingly popular and are required by public funding agencies. The role of material transfer agreements (MTAs) in this open access era is not clear. This project aims to assess the extent to which MTAs facilitate exchanges of biological materials between organisation in Australia and internationally. The project will assess whether MTAs are refl ....Material Transfer Agreements and Open Science in the Genome Era. Research paradigms are changing rapidly in the Genome Era. Open access databases are increasingly popular and are required by public funding agencies. The role of material transfer agreements (MTAs) in this open access era is not clear. This project aims to assess the extent to which MTAs facilitate exchanges of biological materials between organisation in Australia and internationally. The project will assess whether MTAs are reflecting the open data access movement or maintaining traditional closed proprietary practices. The project will make policy, ethical and legal recommendations for the development of MTAs to promote exchange of materials nationally and internationally and to facilitate the developing collaborative research culture.

How Australian industries are pooling innovation resources and why this matters. Common pooling of resources for innovation is an emerging phenomenon in several Australian industries. This project will seek to explain why this is occurring, using insights from economic theory, and how pooling is harnessed for wider public good.
Towards the health care system of the future: The role of institutional entrepreneurship in service redesign and innovation. The reform of healthcare systems presents one of the most pressing and fundamental challenges for nations such as Australia. To date, hospital redesign and innovation initiatives have had limited impacts and outcomes at a system level with improvements limited to discrete areas. The aim of this inter-disciplinary research is to promote the scaling up of such initiatives to ....Towards the health care system of the future: The role of institutional entrepreneurship in service redesign and innovation. The reform of healthcare systems presents one of the most pressing and fundamental challenges for nations such as Australia. To date, hospital redesign and innovation initiatives have had limited impacts and outcomes at a system level with improvements limited to discrete areas. The aim of this inter-disciplinary research is to promote the scaling up of such initiatives to have systems-wide outcomes. The research aims to address institutional constraints and organisational factors and will develop practical frameworks, processes and resources. These intend to enable hospitals to develop organisational and leadership capacities to ensure investments in redesign and innovation have ‘whole system’ economic and healthcare benefits.Read moreRead less
The logic of market-creating innovations. The project seeks to provide theoretical insight and empirical evidence on the behavioural determinants of companies and executives that lead to market-creating growth. The question of how to support economic growth through innovation has drawn much attention and debate because Australian companies underperform in delivering value creation from new innovations. This project plans to test a model of growth based upon companies' changes to routines and res ....The logic of market-creating innovations. The project seeks to provide theoretical insight and empirical evidence on the behavioural determinants of companies and executives that lead to market-creating growth. The question of how to support economic growth through innovation has drawn much attention and debate because Australian companies underperform in delivering value creation from new innovations. This project plans to test a model of growth based upon companies' changes to routines and resource configurations as they create actions to prove a new hypothesis, rather than to confirm what markets already know. The model will involve policies that executives may find beneficial in building up their companies’ capabilities in sensing and seizing options for growth before the market logics of those options have been proven elsewhere. Developing such capabilities could boost the rate of market-creating innovations arising from Australian research.Read moreRead less
Modelling network innovation performance capability: a multidisciplinary approach. Innovation is created in complex network interactions.
By combining agent-based and fuzzy logic modelling, this project will identify combinations of resources to generate new ideas/technologies. This will enable managers and policy makers to understand the mechanisms behind innovation and implement policies aimed at enhancing innovation processes.
Behavioural strategies for selecting innovation projects. When financing new innovations, everyone wants to back a potential winner. However, not spotting a winning project and letting opportunity to innovate pass, has significant negative consequences. This project will analyse how design thinking by senior executives and investors can boost innovation by not rejecting a good project.
Technology and innovation management in high risk situations. The value of Australian bulk commodity exports and container imports is expected to double from $400 billion to $800 billion by 2020, placing considerable pressure on port waters. This project will examine the challenge whereby port operators are both encouraged to take risks to innovate but are constrained by the consequences of risk.
