How and why organisations fail, and the challenges they present for regulators
Professor Kieran Walshe (Co-Director of the Centre for Public Policy and Management and Professor of Health Policy and Management at Manchester Business School)
Date: Tuesday, 8 April 2008
Abstract: "In many countries there have been high profile failures in public services like schools, hospitals and social care, often resulting in real damage to service users and often followed by a public inquiry or investigation and an official report. This presentation will explore the circumstances and organisational characteristics which predate or precipitate failure, and the strategies employed to bring about a turnaround in performance. For regulators, organisational failures present particular challenges and risks and can consume substantial regulatory resources. If possible, regulators should design their regulatory regimes to detect and prevent major failures."

Institutions and Long-run Economic Development
Sambit Bhattacharyya
Date: Tuesday, 1 April 2008
Abstract: Research on long-run comparative economic development in the last decade or so have focused heavily on the role of institutions as a deep factor explaining the cross-national differences in living standards. The argument is that institutional differences (both economic and political) explain the majority of cross-national variation in income. However there are more to it than just institutions. In this talk I will make an attempt to provide a broad overview of the literature, its strength and weaknesses and also the contributions made by researchers working on the issue at the ANU. This will include the specific case of Africa where diseases seem to be more important than institutions, a stage theory of development, impact of trade policy on institutions, and the impact of foreign aid on institutions.

The Constitutional Corporation: Rethinking Corporate Governance
Professor Stephen Bottomley, Professor Stephen Parker, Professor John Braithwaite
Date: Tuesday, 19 February 2008
Further Information:
Professor Stephen Bottomley (Associate Dean and Head of School, ANU College of Law) discusses The Constitutional Corporation with Professor Stephen Parker (VC and President, University of Canberra) and Professor John Braithwaite (RegNet, ANU College of Asia and the Pacific).
Corporate laws are based on the idea that the interests of shareholders should be the primary concern of company directors. However, some argue that the proper role for shareholders is to sit back and let the corporation's managers do their job, or that the pursuit of shareholders' interests detracts from the concerns of employees or victims of corporate wrongdoing or other stakeholders.
Stephen Bottomley argues that instead of consigning shareholders to this passive role, they should be given opportunities to be active members of corporations. Corporations are constitutional arrangements rather than mere contractual agreements. They are decision-making organizations in which questions of process and structure are important. Thus, instead of using economic criteria such as efficiency as the sole measure for deciding what constitutes 'good' corporate governance, this book examines whether ideas of accountability, deliberation and contestability provide a valuable framework for assessing corporate structures and process and for encouraging greater shareholder participation.
