Panel Discussion Topic:  Diversity and Inclusion: Challenges and Opportunities

Demographic and sociological shifts have produced challenges, as well as opportunities, for business school recruitment and enrollment management. These shifts are not just at the student level, recruitment of diverse faculty, which mirror the student population, presents its own unique set of challenges and opportunities. The panel will discuss various aspects of diversity and inclusion within the context of their culture, home institutions, and personal perspective. Additionally, the deans will offer concrete practices to deal with the issues of diversity and inclusion from an administrative viewpoint.

Panelists:

Miles K. Davis, Dean and Endowed Chair of Management, Harry F. Byrd, Jr. School of Business, Shenandoah University

The conclusions we can legitimately draw regarding the relationships among variables in a study rest on the definitions of our variables and the construct validity of measures of those variables. How construct validity is assessed, and the statistical analyses that can be applied to data, stem directly from choices made during the scale development process. This session will focus on best practices for scale development. A range of constructs and scales will be presented, but we will emphasize latent variables. Attendees will be encouraged to ask questions throughout the session. Please bring your own examples for discussion.

(Mt. Tamborine)

This tour allows guests to experience the Gold Coast Hinterland and Scenic Rim Region. In your luxury 4 wheel drive vehicle, you will drive along the original track built by early pioneers to transport their produce to the Gold Coast. The tour winds through eucalyptus trees to enter the magnificent rainforests of Tamborine Mountain National Park. While negotiating this seldom used track we will keep a look out for koala and other native wildlife. Our guides have lived in the area for over 24 years and have extensive local knowledge and expertise. They will share their favourite places with you as you learn about the Hinterland, its unique flora and fauna, and view waterfalls cascading into cool mountain streams. The tour includes a break for an afternoon tea of Delicious fresh scones, served with jams, cream, tea and coffee. You will also have a chance to explore the Gallery Walk which is best known as Tamborine mountain’s Arts and Crafts region. Mt. Tamborine is starting to build a reputation for its wineries so this tour would not be complete without a wine tasting at one of the local wineries. Reds, whites and ports will be available to sample before your relaxing sunset drive back to your hotel.

This session synthesizes from many resources to provide a practical introduction to conducting meta-analysis and interpreting meta-analytic results. Designed to cover the basics the session focus is on often-overlooked issues in meta-analytic searching, judgment calls, analyses, and reporting. Attendees will be given a brief overview of software packages (and syntax) available for conducting meta-analysis. The session will culminate in a hands task where participants will code a primary study. Participants will compare and contrast their coding results to gain insight into the role of judgment calls in meta-analytic results. Questions will be welcomed throughout the session.

The panel is a pilot effort to nurture a dialogue on qualitative research in EAMI. The panel is constructed with three objectives: first, to provide an international perspective on qualitative research by constituting a panel of both North American and Australian scholars; second, to show case distinct styles of qualitative research; and third, to engage with the audience about the promise and pragmatics of qualitative research.

Models involving mediation or moderation are common in research. Despite the importance of moderation and mediation in theory development and testing, there can be considerable confusion over how to accurately test such models. This is a participative tutorial in best practices for testing moderation, mediation, and moderated mediated and mediated moderated models. The focus will be on the practical steps for specifying and testing models using examples common in management. Attendees will be encouraged to ask questions throughout the session.

Cross a surf-loving, Hawaiian, young-gun brewmaster with a Gold Coast girl who detoured through a career in corporate law while dreaming of creating a very special business – and you get the inspiration for Burleigh Brewing. On the back of successful brewing endeavours in Hawaii, and bothered by the lack of balance, character or soul in Queensland’s beer landscape, in 2006 Peta and Brennan put their plans into action. Deciding the laid-back, beach town of Burleigh was the perfect match for their unrushed, authentic approach to beer making, Burleigh Brewing was born on 1 July 2006 and set about pioneering the craft beer movement on the Gold Coast.

What began as an ambitious vision and a detailed plan, expanded steadily over a 10 year period. Along the way, Burleigh Brewing has been honoured with a number of business and brewing awards. The recognition is very much appreciated  and affirms the fact that Burleigh Brewing is on the path they set for themselves.

From their new home, the ever-growing Burleigh Brewing team continues its mission to brew beer with balance, character and soul – and to make a difference while doing it.
