Significant developments have occurred in the field of lifelines engineering over the past decade both in New Zealand and internationally. In New Zealand, this period encompassed both the beginnings of lifelines engineering and its development into being an established discipline of earthquake engineering. This paper charts the progress of lifelines engineering during this time, outlines the key achievements and critical success factors and discusses current needs and future developments.

<p>Ongoing discussions and changes in the New Zealand innovation system have underlined the need to improve the level of co-operation between firms and the Crown Research Institutes (CRIs) in New Zealand. This study contributes to this discussion by assessing the critical success factors for research co-operations between firms and CRIs. Alongside the practical value of this study, it also contributes to the development of relationship marketing theory, where empirical insights into research co-operations between firms and research institutes is lacking. Specifically, a case study methodology was utilised to test a conceptual model developed from existing literature in the context of research cooperations between universities and firms. To do so, similarities and contrasts between two successful research co-operations and two less successful research co-operations were examined in the light of 12 previously developed propositions. Findings from this study highlight the strong similarity of success factors for research cooperations between firms and universities with those of firms and research institutes. However, additional themes emerged from this study, notably the concepts of group diversity and the multidimensionality of trust. The emergence of these additional themes might be explained by the unique characteristics of the New Zealand innovation system (remoteness and small size of firms), and the study methodology, which enabled additional insights. Overall, this study contributes empirical data and conclusions from a new context to relationship marketing literature. From a managerial point of view, this study highlights the importance of a good balance between trust and distrust, a strong bond between the boundary spanning managers, and satisfactory communication as major determinants of successful research co-operation between firms and CRIs.</p>

In early 2004, the Institutes of Technology and Polytechnics of New Zealand (ITPNZ) received funding from the New Zealand government for a project “Critical success factors for effective use of e-learning with Maori learners.” A group of individuals passionate about the potential for e-learning to transform learning experiences for everyone, including Maori, developed the project’s approach.

AbstractThis paper reports on an exploratory study into critical success factors as they are perceived by Māori small- to medium-sized enterprise (SME) owners in the Otago/Southland regions of New Zealand. We draw on interview responses from 11 Māori business owners and four representatives of SME support services. The aim of this study is to explore Māori SME characteristics in terms of the critical success factors that help or hinder the achievement of their business aspirations. The findings indicate three main thematic concerns: Māori SME owners’ perception of being Māori impacts on how they position themselves as a business; the regional business environment has particular features that impact in a particular way on Māori SMEs; and, notions of business strategy are culturally nuanced. We propose that a culturally constituted regional business support system will better enable Māori SMEs to achieve their aspirations.

The Government's Growth Agenda is to increase the ratio of exports to GDP from the current 30% to 40% by 2025. New Zealand agribusinesses of all types are being urged to use knowledge and expertise overseas to increase export revenue in order to assist with achieving the agenda. Over the last two decades there have been numerous attempts to "go global" with varied success. There have also been a considerable number of commissioned reports on how companies should proceed. Pastoral farmers rely on their processors and marketers to return an income to their business, but some co-operatives and companies are more successful than others. This paper gives the background for the case studies in the three papers which follow comparing (a) export strategies for dairy companies, (b) increasing suppliers/customers for co-operative companies and (c) taking New Zealand knowledge and expertise in farming systems offshore. Keywords: Export, relationships, supply-chain, value-add

New Zealanders are being encouraged to find offshore investment opportunities where using a New Zealand farming system will give a competitive advantage. This analysis investigated three pasture-based dairying operations in South America. A comparison of the three cases against a framework for dairying success identified in the literature enabled critical success factors to be identified. These included infrastructure, human and animal capital, and an understanding of culture. Keywords: Capital, culture, infrastructure, labour

New Zealand dairy companies are being encouraged to expand in offshore markets, and capitalise on the increasing demand for high quality dairy products in emerging nations. To succeed internationally dairy companies need to invest in capturing their value chain and securing suppliers effectively, as well as developing intangible assets, like customer relationships, international partnerships, strong brands and reputations. This paper examines seven critical success factors, identified from comparing academic literature on international success and the preceding background paper, to three case studies on the New Zealand dairy companies, Tatua Dairy Co-operative, Synlait Ltd, and Fonterra Ltd. Keywords: critical success factors, international business strategy, New Zealand dairy industry, exportation

Joint use libraries in New Zealand are generally found in the form of School and Community Libraries, primarily in rural areas, but there is little information available about their effectiveness or success. Research was undertaken by surveying all identified joint use libraries in New Zealand and then following this with detailed Case Studies of three selected libraries. As these joint use libraries continue to be established in rural and urban areas of New Zealand, this research aimed to establish the Critical Success Factors for School and Community (Joint Use) Libraries in New Zealand. A comparison of these factors with those found in overseas literature on Joint Use Libraries has yielded guidelines to enable present and future manifestations of these libraries in New Zealand to be effective and successful.
