    1. Gina Rinehart $14.02billion from Resources Chairman – Hancock Prospecting Residence: Perth Wealth last year: $20.01b Rank last year: 1 A plunging iron ore price has made a big dent in Gina Rinehart’s wealth. But so vast are her mining assets that Rinehart, chairman of Hancock Prospecting, maintains her position as Australia’s richest person in 2015. Work is continuing on her $10billion Roy Hill project in Western Australia, although it has been hit by doubts over its short-term viability given falling commodity prices and safety issues. Rinehart is pressing ahead and expects the first shipment late in 2015. Most of her wealth comes from huge royalty cheques from Rio Tinto, which mines vast swaths of tenements pegged by Rinehart’s late father, Lang Hancock, in the 1950s and 1960s. Rinehart's wealth has been subject to a long running family dispute with a court ruling in May that eldest daughter Bianca should become head of the $5b family trust. 2. Anthony Pratt & Family $10.76billion from manufacturing and investment Executive Chairman – Visy Residence: Melbourne Wealth last year: $7.6billion Rank last year: 2 Anthony Pratt’s bet on a recovering United States economy is paying off. The value of his US-based Pratt Industries has surged this year thanks to an improving manufacturing sector and a lower Australian dollar. Pratt is also executive chairman of box maker and recycling business Visy, based in Melbourne. Visy is Australia’s largest private company by revenue and the biggest Australian-owned employer in the US. Pratt inherited the Visy leadership from his late father Richard in 2009, though the firm’s ownership is shared with sisters Heloise Waislitz and Fiona Geminder.

  • Word/Action Responses to Amazon's Retail Entry Into
    The competitive dynamics of MNE market entry on host country incumbents: word/action responses to Amazon’s retail entry into the Australian retail sector Name of the Student: Amit Verma Name of the Primary Supervisor: Associate Professor Simon Mowatt Name of the Secondary Supervisor: Dr Fiona Hurd A dissertation submitted to Auckland University of Technology In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Business (MBus) 2018 i Abstract The primary aim of this study is to explore the competitive dynamics of the entry of an online Multinational Enterprise (MNE) into a new host economy, with a particular focus on rival responses. Competitive dynamics theory states that with the entry of a more prominent company an incumbent firm may choose to engage the competitor head-on or reposition (Wang & Shaver, 2014). Although much research has been conducted on entry strategies in international business, such as on post-entry firm performance, spillover impacts on technology transfer, and economic and employment benefits, there is scant research on the competitive response of local competitors when faced with international new entrants. In particular, the way in which the entry of online MNE affects both local brick-and-mortar and online competitors, and the way rivals respond to the entry, is not well understood. This research addresses this gap by analysing the reaction of the incumbents to new market entry, using the example of Amazon's entry into the Australian retail sector in December 2017. The research will incorporate theories of competitive dynamics and competitive response to assess how incumbents react to the new national market entrant.
