Presentations at ANU in Canberra

On Thursday April 27 and Friday April 28, 2006 I gave three presentations at the Australian National University (ANU) College of Business and Economics in Canberra for enthusiastic audiences.

The first presentation was a PhD workshop talking about So What, How, and Why of Information Systems Research. With PhD students from the School of Accountancy and Information Systems a lively discussion was undertaken about how to develop Information Systems Theory and the do's and don'ts of PhD research.

The second presentation dealt with the topic of Online Markets and the lessons learned from a decade of research in the Dutch flower industry. The presentation title was Moving to Online Markets.

The Q&A dealt with the role of proxi-bidding in online auctions, the role of logistics and transportations costs related to the bidding costs in the flower auctions, and the role of bundling and how it will have an influence on the optimal design of the distribution network.

The third presentation was about the Emergence of Smart Business Networks organized by the National Centre for Information Systems Research (NCISR).

Q&A dealt with the role of human decision making in the technology-enabled networks, the role of security and privacy in smart business networks, and how companies could share information in complicated network settings.
One of the participants - Tom Worthington - summarized my presentation very well at his web log.
