Commencement-Program-2009.Pdf 253RD COMMENCEMENT Monday, May 18, 2009 2009 The University of Pennsylvania KEEPING FRANKLIN’S PROMISE In the words of one elegiac tribute, “Great men have two lives: one which occurs while they work on this earth; a second which begins at the day of their death and continues as long as their ideas and conceptions remain powerful.” These words befit the great Benjamin Franklin, whose inventions, innovations, ideas, writings, and public works continue to shape our thinking and renew the Republic he helped to create and the institutions he founded, including the University of Pennsylvania. Nowhere does Franklin feel more contemporary, more revolutionary, and more alive than at the University of Pennsylvania. His startling vision of a secular, nonsectarian Academy that would foster an “Inclination join’d with an Ability to serve Mankind, one’s Country, Friends and Family” has never ceased to challenge Penn to redefine the scope and mission of the modern American university. When pursued vigorously and simultaneously, the two missions – developing the inclination to do good and the ability to do well – merge to help form a more perfect university that educates more capable citizens for our democracy. Penn has embodied and advanced Franklin’s revolutionary vision for 269 years. Throughout its history, Penn has extended the frontiers of higher learning and research to produce graduates and scholars whose work has enriched the nation and all of humanity. The modern liberal arts curriculum as we know it can trace its roots to Franklin’s innovation to have Penn students study international commerce and foreign languages. The first medical and business schools in the United States were launched here. And the first general-purpose electronic, digital computer – ENIAC – was invented right here at the University of Pennsylvania. At Penn, the never-ending quest for innovation and academic distinction has found perfect Franklinian expression in “The Penn Compact,” President Amy Gutmann’s bold vision for propelling our University from excellence to eminence in all our core endeavors. Fulfilling the goals of the Compact – increasing access for talented students of all backgrounds, integrating knowledge across multiple disciplines, and engaging our knowledge with communities locally and globally – is the focus of Penn’s current $3.5 billion Making History campaign, and will position the University to make the greatest possible contribution to our society and our world. Today, Penn proudly graduates a class of men and women who have shown the intelligence, drive, integrity, and character to become engaged citizens who will serve humanity with distinction. Our Penn graduates are poised to take their place as productive democratic citizens and as just and humane stewards of our world. In these challenging and perilous times, a world in need of young men and women who are willing to shoulder the moral responsibilities of leadership can look to Penn. Franklin wrote: “We may make these times better if we bestir ourselves. The noblest question in the world is ‘What good may I do in it?’” The answer to this question will be furnished by Franklin’s newest heirs, the graduates of 2009. 1 Franklin Field COMMENCEMENT SEATING Guests will find this diagram helpful in locating the approximate seating of the degree candidates.

Ferry Jie – PhD Candidature, Faculty of Rural Management, University of Sydney, Australia 2. Prof Kevin Parton – Principal Supervisor, School of Rural Management, Charles Sturt University 3. Mr. Rod Cox – Co Supervisor, School of Rural Management, Charles Sturt University Abstract This research focuses on an Australian agribusiness supply chain, the Australian Beef Supply Chain. The definition of the Australian Beef Supply Chain is the chain or sequence of all activities from the breeding property to the domestic or overseas consumers. The beef sector in Australia is undergoing rapid change because of globalisation, a highly competitive beef market (local and export), quicker production cycle and delivery times and consequently reduced inventories, a general speed-up of the rate of change in the business environment, the trend toward more outsourcing of activities, and the rapid development of IT.

For your patience, love, inspiration, and silliness. This may not change the world, but I hope it helps our understanding of it a bit better. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First, I want to thank my committee members: Dr. Gretchen Busl, Dr. Dundee Lackey, and Dr. Genevieve West. I appreciate all of your thoughtful comments, recommendations, and the discussions we have had throughout the dissertation process, as well as all of those that came before it. Without your brilliance, support, and patience, I do not know that this would have ever made it off the ground, much less become a completed project. I would like to extend a huge thank you to my fellow Graduate Teaching Assistants in the First-Year Composition program for allowing me to visit your classrooms for recruitment, as well as all of the encouragement throughout the process. I am also grateful to all of those who participated in the study and trusted me to get them through a semester long research project without taking too much time away from their own personal educational goals. It was definitely a huge learning process for me; I hope it was a positive learning one for all those involved.
