Enhancing or Inhibiting Advertising's Sustainability: An Overview of Advertising Standards Organisations in Australia Crawford Robert; Spence-Stone Ruth Dewi Tojib The Advertising Standards Board (ASB) and its predecessor, the Advertising Standards Council (ASC), have been responsible for regulating advertising content in Australia since 1974. Research on these bodies has highlighted their respective operations, but it has inadequately investigated their impact on the industry's public image. The completion of the ASB's first decade of operations provides an opportunity to compare the structures and decisions of both organisations and the balance they have struck between the interests of industry and those of the public. In addition, this paper presents new research on public attitudes towards advertising and its regulation. The findings raise questions as to the sustainability of the current approach to self-regulation in Australia.

Levinasian ethics and the representation of the other in international and cross-cultural management Rhodes Carl; Westwood Robert - In this paper, we seek to further the discussion, problematization and critique of west/east identity relations in leM studies by considering the ethics of the relationship - an issue never far beneath the surface in discussions of Orientalism. In particular we seek to both examine and question the ethics of representation in relation to a critique of what has come to be known as international and cross-cultural management (ICM). To pursue such a discussion, we draw specifically on the ethical elaborations of Emmanuel Levinas as well as his chief interlocutors Jacques Derrida and Zygmunt Bauman. The value of this discussion, we propose, is that Levinas offers a philosophy that holds as its central concept the relationship between the self and Other as the primary ethical and pre-ontological relation. Levinas' philosophy provides a means of extending the post-colonial critique of ICM, and ICM provides a context in which the Levinasian ethics can be brought to bear on a significant issue on contemporary business and management.

Navigating the wilderness of becoming professional Johnsson Mary; Hager Paul None The wilderness is often conceived as a place where persons can become confused or get into a wild condition (Nash 1982) and the ‘wilderness years’ as a time of uncertainty where the vastness of life, choices and roles bewilder actions that could be taken. Such spatial and temporal conditions could aptly be applied to graduates making the transition from safe contexts of educational preparation to becoming professionals at work. Our paper examines the nature of learning discovered by recent graduates participating in a symphony orchestra-initiated development program designed to nurture them through the transition to becoming professional orchestral musicians. We argue that this empirical example helps to support a conception of learning as an embodied and constructed experience with others in context. Here, learning to become ‘a whole musician’ is facilitated by guided contextualisation, a process that differs from conventional discussions of skill-based novice learning and mentorship. The competency that is being developed is one of learning how to become, forming a sense of identity as broader musical citizens as well as becoming members of more instrumental communities. Such attributes of graduateness are less about applying disciplinary or generic skills and more about committing to a form of lifelong learning that is relationally-based, a critical part of graduates developing a fitness for professional practice and the persistence to emerge from the wilderness to becoming professional.

A rule-map based technique for information inconsistency verification Lu Jie; Ma Jun; Zhang Guangquan No This paper focuses on the problem of verifying information inconsistencies in acquired information. A rule-map based technique for data inconsistency is presented, where rule-map is used to describe hierarchical structure of rules and estimate judgment standard for consistency dynamically. Moreover, a state-based knowledge representation technique for logical inconsistency is investigated, in which knowledge is illustrated as states set of related objects and logical inconsistency is determined by the relationships between those state-sets. To illustrate the presented techniques, two examples are given.
