ANNUAL REPORT 2002

1. OVERVIEW This is the first annual report of the newly created School of Economics and Information Systems in the Faculty of Commerce. The School was created in July 2002 as a result of a major restructure of the Faculty from five departments into three Schools. It consists of the former departments of economics and information systems. The industrial relations group, formerly part of the department of economics, has relocated to the School of Management, Marketing and Employment Relations. The annual report aims to provide an historical record of the School’s activities for the year 2002. It is hoped that the process of disseminating information about the activities of members of the School well help to forge new forms of academic alliance and cooperative work both within and outside the School. The report is organised into normal divisions of academic activity notably teaching, research, administration, and outreach. Comments on this report are welcomed and should be directed to the Head of School. The School provides a broad teaching program of economics and information systems in support of the undergraduate and postgraduate degrees of the University of Wollongong, particularly the Bachelor of Commerce, Bachelor of Computer Science, and Bachelor of Arts, and the honours, masters, and PhD programs in economics and information systems. Service teaching is provided to the programs of other schools and faculties and to the Wollongong and Sydney Business Schools. In addition to its main activities at the Wollongong campus, it provides several undergraduate subjects to students studying at the South Coast campuses and access centres of Shoalhaven, Bateman’s Bay, Moss Vale, and Bega. Overseas it contributes teaching to the University of Wollongong’s Bachelor of Business Administration in Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur) and Singapore. Finally, the department conducts a quality assurance program for the teaching of its subjects by members of the Wollongong University College and the University of Wollongong campus in Dubai. The School’s EFTSU for 2002 was 1209, which represents a 17% increase compared with 2001 for the two former departments, excluding industrial relations which is no longer part of economics. The failure rate over all undergraduate subjects for 2002 was 6.23%, which compares with 5.57% in 2001.

During the course of 2002 3 PhD theses were successfully completed. The School has an active research profile. This includes a distinguished record of scholarly publications, grant-holding, an active seminar program and working paper series, and participation in university research centres and programs. Seminar presenters were drawn widely from overseas nations including United States, United Kingdom and Sweden. Individual members of the School are also visible in the infrastructure of scholarly research through editorial, executive committee, and review work for professional societies and their journals, and through the organization of international conferences. During 2002 areas of research particularly included: economic and business development of the Asian economies; agricultural policies; small and medium-sized enterprises; poverty and inequality; labour markets, human capital and education; gender; health economics; electronic commerce; national accounts; regional business management; technology and innovation; executive information systems; human-computer interaction; knowledge management; web design and portals; intelligence scheduling techniques and routing Algorithms; information architectures; business process modelling; application of activity theory to IS. Output of core scholarly publications (refereed books, chapters, and articles) averaged approximately 1.7 items per staff member or 2.7 if one includes conference papers. Notable research events featuring groups of researchers from within the department included four one-day industry workshops, the European conference of information systems, the Australian conference of information systems, the Australian conference of knowledge management; the Australian corporate leadership conference, and the sustaining SME innovation conference. The current research projects of all members of the department are listed at section 4 (f). Significant staff turnover occurred within the School. Martin O’Brien, Brett Shorten, Linda Corrin, Sol Combe, Neville Mooney and Lyn Politis were all appointed to the School. D.P. Chaudhuri retired, Aditya Ghose and Peter Hyland took up appointments in the Faculty of Informatics, while Rob Hood, Ray Markey, Maree Murray, and Terri Mylett moved to other parts of the Faculty as a result of restructuring. Joan Rodgers, Sim Kim Lau, and Kankesu Jayanthakumaran were all promoted. Reza Zamani was confirmed in a continuing position.
