  "According to Professor James Guthrie, MGSM’s Corporate Governance course provides students with:
  • The knowledge of how to apply the science of Governance to corporate governance;
  • A meta-level course applying the science of governance to the governance of private, public and non-profit organisations;
  • Quality faculty who not only established the first educational qualification in the world for company directors, but are also practitioners in publicly benchmarking the governance integrity of private, public and non-profit organisations.
  Professor Guthrie says the knowledge of applying the science of governance to the governance of organisations was developed at MGSM by his co-teacher Dr Shann Turnbull in his PhD research program."

  Third largest Australian manufacturer of custom designed precision industrial gears and gearboxes based in Melbourne. Initially acquired a third interest in equal partnership with the James N. Kirby family and Special Purpose Vehicles P/L who were contractors to JAC Tractor Limited for building its evaluation vehicles.

  US investors invited me to form the venture as the Jefferson Approtrac Company in 1984 to take over a Chapter 11 company. We obtained world patents for innovative light weight four wheel drive all terrain vehicle. Constructed three evaluation vehicles but unable to commercialise.
  
  I moved the business to Australia and to raise additional funds from shareholders mostly residing in the US, I modified the corporate constitution to create a "Corporate Senate" elected on the basis of one vote per investor to mediate or veto any conflicts of interests by the directors. Directors were elected by cumulative voting and shareholders could vote on a one vote per share basis to overturn a Senate Veto.
  
  Senator Andrew Murray proposed that this approach be adopted for the privatisation of Telstra with the Senate being described as a "Corporate Governance Board" to remove excessive director conflicts by it taking over the role of Board Audit, Remuneration and Nomination committees.

Working capital provided by share farmers. A major flood washed away a major dam requiring the project to be recapitalised by becomming listed on the stock exchange.
