The Faculty of Business Working Paper Series is intended to provide staff and students with a means of communicating new and evolving ideas in order to encourage academic debate. Working papers, as the title suggests, should not necessarily be taken as completed works or final expressions of opinions.

All working papers are subject to review prior to publication by one or more editors or referees familiar with the discipline area. Upon completion of the review of a submitted paper all information associated with the identity of a reviewer is destroyed.

Normally, working papers may be freely quoted and/or reproduced provided proper reference to the author and source is given. When a working paper is published on a restricted basis, notice of such restriction will appear on this page.

Please Note: Published abstracts of recent Working Papers are generally available online. If you would like an abstract for a Working Paper from prior years, or the full version of a Faculty of Business Working Paper published in any year, please contact the author direct.
