Summary: This week, we bring you something different. I sat down with Dr. Dean Jarrett, the first Indigenous man to be awarded a PhD by the University of Technology Sydney's Business School to talk about his thesis, which posed the question; rather than Indigenous business' needing to imitate mainstream ways of working to achieve success, should it really be the other way round? Dr. Jarrett finds a clear divide between western transactional understandings of trade and economy, with the relationship style that is intrinsic to indigenous culture. We spoke about business, culture, how a convergence of both can benefit the bottom line, and how the cauldron of crisis of 2020 could end up making the answers a lot clearer.
