Old concepts, views, and systems must be updated, corrected, or abandoned so as to make the great progress of all human beings. As for an example, Peters and Waterman (1982, page42; listed in Paper 1) explained: “An old but excellent example is the Ptolemaic view of the universe (which held until the sixteenth century) that the earth was at the centre of the universe, and the moon, sun, planets, and stars were embedded in concentric spheres around it. Elaborate mathematical formulas and models were developed that would accurately predict astronomical events based on the Ptolemaic paradigm. Not until Copernicus and Kepler found that the formula worked more easily when the sun replaced the earth as the centre of it all did an instance of paradigm shift begin.” It is quite apparent that, in the field of business management, many old concepts, views, and systems have neither led to a right direction for modern business management nor resolved many management problems; therefore, all the three papers of this portfolio try to remedy those shortcomings and insufficiencies of the research problems so as to make potentially valuable contributions to both the academic and business world. The three papers are independent and interrelated. Each of them is briefly described below. / Thesis (DBA(DoctorateofBusinessAdministration))--University of South Australia, 2005.
