  • A Critical Review of Acquisitions Within the Australian Vocational Education and Training Sector 2012 to 2017 Kristina M. Nicho
    A Critical Review of Acquisitions within the Australian Vocational Education and Training Sector 2012 to 2017 Kristina M. Nicholls Victoria University Business School Submitted in fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Business Administration 2020 Abstract A Critical Review of Acquisitions within the Vocational Education and Training Sector 2012 to 2017 Organisations often look to acquisitions as a means of achieving their growth strategy. However, notwithstanding the theoretical motivations for engaging in acquisitions, research has shown that the acquiring organisation, following the acquisition, frequently experiences a fall in share price and degraded operating performance. Given the failure rates that are conservatively estimated at over 50%, the issue of acquisitions is worthy of inquiry in order to determine what factors make for a successful or alternately an unsuccessful outcome. The focus of this study is the vocational education sector in Australia, where private registered training organisations [RTOs] adopted acquisitions as a strategy to increase their market share and/or support growth strategies prompted by deregulation and a multi-billion dollar training investment by both Australian State and Federal governments in the past ten years. Fuelled by these changes in Government policy, there was a dramatic growth in RTO acquisitions between the period 2012 and 2017. Many of these acquisitions ended in failure, including several RTOs that listed on the Australian Stock Exchange [ASX]. This study investigates acquisitions of Australian RTOs, focusing on the period from 2012 to 2017 [study period]. The aim is to understand what factors contributed to the success and/or failure of acquisitions of registered training organisations in the Australian Private Education Sector.

  • Operating System Security – a Short Note
    Operating System Security – A Short Note 1,2Mr. Kunal Abhishek, 2Dr. E. George Dharma Prakash Raj 1Society for Electronic Transactions and Security (SETS), Chennai 2Bharathidasan University, Trichy [email protected], [email protected] 1. Introduction An Operating System (OS) is viewed as a Reference Monitor (RM) or a Reference Validation Mechanism (RVM) that provides basic level security. In [1], Anderson reported three design requirements for a Reference Monitor or Operating System. He suggested that an OS or RM should be tamper proof that means OS programs are not alterable, OS should always be invoked and OS must be small enough for analysis and testing purposes so that completeness of which can be assured. These OS design requirements became the deriving principle of OS development. A wide range of operating systems follow Anderson’s design principles in modern time. It was also observed in [2] that most of the attacks are imposed either on OS itself or on the programs running on the OS. The attacks on OS can be mitigated through formal verification to a great extent which prove the properties of OS code on various criteria like safeness, reliability, validity and completeness etc. Also, formal verification of OS is an intricate task which is feasible only when RVM or RM is small enough for analysis and testing within a reasonable time frame. Other way of attacking an OS is to attack the programs like device drivers running on top of it and subsequently inject malware through these programs interfacing with the OS. Thus, a malware can be injected in to the sensitive kernel code to make OS malfunction.

    From Trocadero to Troxy: A tradition returns Transcript Date: Thursday, 9 June 2011 - 6:00PM Location: Barnard's Inn Hall 9 June 2011 From Trocadero to Troxy: A tradition returns John Abson and Richard HILLS FRCO Introduction (John Abson) The Hyams family Our story starts with three brothers - Phil, Sid and Mick Hyams. The eldest, Phil, started in the trade by working as a teenager in the new Popular cinema in the Commercial Road, Stepney. The new Popular was partly financed by the brothers' father, Hyam Hyams, a Russian immigrant and nephew of the founders of the well-known London chain of Grodzinski's bakeries. Phil was joined by his brother Sid and built up a small circuit that included the Canterbury in Westminster Bridge Road. In 1927 the Hyams converted a vast tram shed into their first super cinema: the 2,700 seat Broadway at Stratford, east London. This was also the Hyams first contact with the Wurlitzer pipe organ; the Broadway was equipped with one of this country’s early examples and the experience no doubt inspired what today would be called ‘brand loyalty’, as this story tells. Thanks to a versatile and gifted architect, George Coles, the Broadway auditorium looked palatial and Coles went on to design all the cinemas the Hyams initiated. Coles was credited with the designs for over 80 cinemas, including many for Oscar Deutsch’s Odeon chain. In 1928, the Hyams sold their circuit to the newly formed Gaumont British combine, then started afresh as H&G Kinemas in partnership with Major A.J.
