School of Economics and Finance survey

We are developing a research pipeline that involves engagement from organisations around New Zealand. The goals of our survey are to:

• create new global knowledge that benefits businesses, regulators, policymakers, and those involved in governance in a practical manner.
• establish a robust link between academia and New Zealand's public, private, and not-for-profit sectors.

Our inspiration stems from the integration of industry and academia in the world's top universities.

Our near-term research agenda is focused on various topics related to specific stakeholder matters that are difficult to quantify but have proven to add significant value. This work will benefit:

• Organisations – Providing the ability to benchmark where they stand on issues in relation to others and providing a measurement guide for those aspiring to be top performers.
• Boards – Enabling those in governance roles to ask targeted questions about where organisational priorities stand in relation to others.
• Economists – Providing a greater understanding of what is important to New Zealand organisations and their priorities for the future.
• Regulators and policymakers – Giving insights that can guide regulators and policymakers regarding areas to focus on.
