This thesis deals with the finite element simulation of spot welded joint in crash analysis. Spot welding is a very common joining process in the automotive industry. It is cost effective and it provides a very fast production rate of automotive body components. Despite this advantage, spot welds are very susceptible to various types of loading conditions. Therefore they are prone to failure, if not designed properly, during their service life time. Therefore it is very important to understand the behaviour of spot welds and their failure characteristics.

The Australian music industry is growing and developing yet specific information about the ways in which distribution systems develop is limited. In this study I examined the growth and change of the Australian music value chain. This includes the development of digital distribution systems and the effect that peer‐to‐peer technology has on system development, specifically the disintermediation between consumers and artists to the detriment of the multinational value chains.

The study examines how Small-Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) demonstrate a range of innovation capabilities when they collaborate with a regional university research centre. This collaboration is shown to be important to create and exchange new knowledge to advance the firms innovation performance. The study demonstrates the ability of firms to acquire and exploit this knowledge, which is a business competency described as absorptive capacity (AC). AC relies on several antecedents or factors to engage with a collective learning process.

This research has two main objectives. The first is to examine how PPP operational phase partnership, risk and performance management practices can be improved to achieve better VfM outcomes. This involves developing a generic conceptual integrating model, intended to assist government decision-makers to allocate and make better use of public sector resources during the operational phase of PPPs, that may have significant and / or long-term consequences for achieving strategic objectives using an integrated partnership, risk and performance management approach.

The objective of the present research is to explore strategies for trade union revitalisation in Vietnam. The attempts by trade unions in developed countries to respond to the issues they face, such as the decline in union density, have attracted a significant amount of academic research attention since the 1970s (Fiorito 2004; Gahan & Bell 1999). These attempts have been labelled either as union revitalisation or union renewal (Lévesque & Murray 2006).

This research is based on the hypothesis that applying building industry’s best practice initiatives can deliver sustainability within the built environment. This hypothesis assumes links between the applied practices, the outcome achieved and sustainability. This research tests this hypothesis with a single ‘critical’ case project; the recently constructed Lithgow Government Office Building (GOB) Development, and against a theoretical framework that defines sustainability.
