Title: | Conceptual and thematic analysis of policies and guidelines on engineering asset management of different states in Australia | Contributor(s): | Mahmood, Muhammad Nateque (author); Dhakal, Subas P (author)![]() |

This paper reviews policies and guidelines developed by Australian state authorities against industry developed principles. It utilizes the software program Leximancer to; a) produce conceptual visualisations of the key themes and concepts embedded within state-wide policies and guidelines, and b) systematically compare the differing asset management foci between states. The analyses reveal mixed results in terms of policy priorities and guidelines for managing assets at a strategic level across states. This paper outlines a rigorous analytical methodology to inform specific policy changes. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | ANZAM 2012: 26th Annual Australian and New Zealand Academy of Management Conference, Perth, Australia, 5th - 7th December, 2012 | Source of Publication: | Proceedings of 26th Annual Australian and New Zealand Academy of Management Conference, p. 1-23 | Publisher: | Australian and New Zealand Academy of Management (ANZAM) | Place of Publication: | Brisbane, Australia | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 150303 Corporate Governance and Stakeholder Engagement 160512 Social Policy |
