“…This is not entirely surprising, given the relative “patchiness” of the field internationally. Although in the UK numerous scheme evaluations have been conducted out (see Hart et al ., 2000), and similar studies have been carried out in the context of the Australian longitudinal business database (Revesz and Lattimore, 2001), this type of close study is comparatively unusual.…”

Following a review of assistance provision to New Zealand small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in 1998, the government established the BIZ programme. The purpose of the new initiative was to build management capability amongst SMEs by providing them with free access to a business needs assessment, followed by training and seminars, one‐on‐one mentoring and networking. BIZ became operational in February 1999 and in June 2000, a team of researchers undertook a comprehensive evaluation of the training component of the programme. This paper reports on one aspect of this evaluation, which was designed to capture the experience and views of the BIZ training providers. During this phase of the project a team of three researchers travelled throughout New Zealand to interview providers. Summarises the different experiences of these front‐line organisations in delivering BIZ training, as a contribution to the wider policy debate about the role of government in assisting small enterprise.

“…Several recent reviews on other Commonwealth assistance to education exports (e.g., Austrade 2000; Productivity Commission 2000; Revesz and Lattimore 2001;DEST 2002) made recommendations to improve existing government programs. These reviews are not discussed, but we note that improved effectiveness and efficiency of existing export assistance programs for education could mitigate further export assistance for the sector.…”

The role of further government intervention in Australian international education

2007

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Trade in Australian education services has expanded rapidly over recent years. The sector is the third largest exporter of Australian services. In 2001-2002, exports of education were about $A 4.2 billion. Government assistance to the sector includes export market development, regulation of education standards, and funding education activities; university research and development, for example. This paper examines the case for further government intervention in the export of education, and the appropriate forms of assistance if further government intervention is justified. The paper predominately focuses on assisting higher education exports because this activity dominates education exports.

“…Although there appears to be no data on the commercial return from R&D activities, case studies of firm managers show that they will invest in R&D due to competitor's technology advances and the fear of being out of business (Revesz and Boldeman, 2006). In a study by Revesz and Lattimore (2001) It appears that most innovations in more than ninety per cent of an economy, excluding high and medium tech manufacturing, will not be through indigenous R&D (Revesz and Boldeman, 2006).…”

Given the current levels and future requirements of R&D in Wales this paper focuses on the Welsh Government (WG) priority areas of energy and health sector firms. In the light of current knowledge of R&D levels it considers: (i) the future requirements of R&D in Wales in terms of economic strategies and industrial trends, and (ii) the specific R&D needs of the energy and health sectors for the development of research policy for Wales. To facilitate this, the research draws on a number of research methods, including secondary data analysis and surveys. It appears that there is a need for selectivity and concentration of resources into those sectors such as energy and health where Wales has a critical mass of research and resources which have the potential for development at a World class level. The current levels of research activity in these areas can be increased if the right R&D decisions are made. In relation to this potential there are certain R&D requirements in these sectors that need to be met. These are reported in the research findings of the study undertaken into the energy and health sectors described in this paper.
