   Success Factors in Australian Industries: Levers for Fostering & Sustaining Growth Industries (Research)
   Nov 2005 | Australian Stock Exchange Ltd; Colin Ramsay, The Australian Stock Exchange; Robert Bladier, The Australian Stock Exchange

   In 2005, the Australian Business Foundation and Australian Stock Exchange Limited teamed up to revisit earlier research into three critical industries - wine, mining and listed property trusts.  These industries were selected because each had transformed from being modestly successful and domestically based, to being world class, globally competitive and export based. 

   The aim of this study, conducted by Robert Bladier and Colin Ramsay, was to develop a synthesis of the earlier learnings to formulate some necessary ingredients that must be present or steps that must be taken for successful industry development. Understanding these critical levers that can transform an industry enables investors and investment markets to properly assess the characteristics of the industry which will attract capital investment.

   Australian Business Foundation commissioned this research to uncover some of the reasons why there were so few success stories in commercialising biotechnology research despite the depth of research in the field and the government policies in place to encourage the development of a viable and globally competitive industry sector.
