Foundation for Sustainable Economic Development
The Operations Management area of the Department hosts the Foundation for Sustainable Economic Development. The Foundation was established in 2000 with a mission to create and disseminate research to increase the awareness and effectiveness of management practices that deliver better organisational performance and less wasteful products and processes.
The Foundation has produced a number of research papers and commissioned reports, including The Collaborative Games in 2001. A significant project has been on corporate sustainable development, funded by the Australian Business Foundation. The FSED’s latest project involves a significant multi-university ARC Linkage project on ‘Work and Social Cohesion’.
The Director of the Centre is Professor Danny Samson.
