This thesis is a detailed case study of implementation of an e-government initiative in Thailand-e-Revenue (the oniine tax payment system)-which is the country's most successful e-government process. This research used a single case study approach which allowed the researcher to examine the phenomenon in depth and to provide extensive understanding and explanation. The need to implement a national policy, the National IT Policy, was found to be the most critical factor in the successful implementation of the e-Revenue project.

This research emphasises Marxist feminist standpoints in order to study typography in its commodity form. Undertaking a critical analysis of typography and the context in which it has been marketed and sold, I intend to problematise the fetishisation of language and interrogate its sociomaterial relations as expressions of commodity feminism within a postfeminist landscape.

The present study draws from two major bodies of literature: (1) research on leadership, which recognizes the important role of leaders in driving organizational performance and that leadership style may differ across individuals; and (2) the MCS literature, including RM concepts, in which control systems are viewed as mechanisms to “assist the organization in managing its risk and to promote effective governance processes” (Krogstad et al., 1999, p.

This research found that local government, especially in remote and disadvantaged areas is the face of all government in the eyes of the residents. State and Federal Governments have high expectations and compliance regimes, but local government has limited capacity and resources to effectively meet these legitimate demands and also respond to the demands of the local residents and citizens. The lack of financial resources is exacerbated by limited human resource capacity, especially in the Glenelg Shire, the 5th worst local government area in the state in terms of education and occupation.

This research addresses the call for future research by Brown and Treviño (2014) and Resick et al. (2006) to expand on ethical leadership research into other cultures. They believed employees in organisations use their ethical and cultural value systems as an absolute standard against which to measure the behaviour of members of the other culture, or they adopt the norms of the other culture. Previous studies have demonstrated several gaps within the ethical leadership literature; this research will address these gaps.

The aim of this study is to develop a perspective on culture which would integrate the views of both opposing camps. By applying the principles of ancient Chinese philosophy, especially the Yin-Yang principle, a balanced, holistic conceptualization was proposed which hold that culture is composed of both a stable and a changing dimension, which dialectically transform into each other to give culture a certain degree of stability and inheritability on the one hand, and a momentum for change and variability on the other, in an ongoing, spiraling process of cultural emergence.

This study "Aquatic plants (Azolla filiculoides, Azolla pinnata, Landoltia punctata) and protists, thraustochytrids as renewable and sustainable sources of protein, phenolic, carotenoids and omega-3 fatty acids" provides important information on culturing Azolla (A. filiculoides and A. pinnata), duckweed (L. punctata) and thraustochytrids. It also represents a comprehensive analysis of two Azolla species (A. filiculoides and A. pinnata), one duckweed species (L. punctata) and two new thraustochytrids, all of which are capable of producing valuable biomolecules.

This study aimed to gain an understanding of negative L1 transfer on the use of English prepositions from a CL perspective. Since there is a vast difference between English and Vietnamese prepositions both in their cognition and the structure of the two languages, Vietnamese learners might transfer some of their cognition from their language, culture, and lived experience to their English usage.
