Peter Gahan is Associate Professor of Human Resource Management in the Department of Management. He has previously held academic appointments at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, the University of Melbourne, UNSW and Deakin. In 1997 he was Visiting Professor of Australian Studies at the Australian Studies Centre, Otemon Gakuin University, Osaka, Japan, and in 1999-2000 the Australian European University Institute Fellow at the EIU, Florence. He was Director, Workplace Innovation in the Victorian Department of Innovation, Industry and Regional Development. Peter is also a Graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.
Associate Professor Gahan has published widely in HRM and employment relations, including organisational creativity, high performance work systems, cross cultural work values, managing EEO in public sector organisations, union strategy, labour market regulation, and Australian labour law.
Current research interests focus on the role of regulatory arrangements in promoting innovative workplaces and competitiveness or high performance work systems. The first stage of this project involves an investigation of employer use of the new Work Choices legislation. He is also investigating the emergent problem of protecting employment rights in industrialised economies. He is currently completing a large project, funded by the Victorian government, to develop appropriate measures to assess the protection and breaching of employment rights in Victorian workplaces. The multifaceted nature of industrial and workplace issues in today's complex organisational environment requires individuals who are knowledgeable and skilled in analysis and problem solving, bargaining, mediation, advocacy, strategic decision-making, and leadership. Students in the graduate workplace and industrial relations programs gain such knowledge and skills through studying a combination of units facilitated by specialist academic staff in a supportive learning environment.
The program includes core industrial relations, law, and management units to ensure the necessary broad educational foundation. High profile speakers from industry, the public sector, and trade unions are invited to share their expertise and experience with students, thereby demonstrating practical application of classroom learning and promoting industry links and networking opportunities.
Career opportunities
Graduates of the program are now pursuing careers in the private sector, in government agencies and departments, in NGOs, with employer associations, and with trade unions.

Seminar Outline: Models of Union Renewal:- Can Chinese Unions Learn From the West?
Over the last two decades union movements across the western world have experienced a decline in membership, and economic and political influence.  In response, unions have experimented with a diverse range of strategies intended to "renewal" or "revitalise" their ability to organise members and influence in the economy.  These different models have generated considerable debate and controversy among both scholars and unions themselves.  This seminar will provide an overview of these different models of union renewal and considers whether they can provide lessons for Chinese unions operating in the contemporary Chinese economic environment.

 

报告提纲：工会振兴的模式——中国工会能向西方学习吗？
在过去的20多年中，西方工会经历了入会率下降以及经济和政治形势变化的影响。作为对这些变化的回应，西方工会采用了多样的步骤和策略以“振兴”或“复原”其组织会员并在经济领域发挥作用的能力。这些不同的模式在学界和工会内部引起了很大的争议和讨论。
本次演讲将概括阐述西方工会振兴的不同模式并思考这些模式是否能为中国工会在新的经济形势下提供经验。
