| Business strategy is very important to small and medium family businesses as many are both fragile and vulnerable; strategy provides a solid foundation for survival. Various studies have identified that businesses that engage in strategic management outperform those that do not. Despite this knowledge the uptake of many aspects of strategic management by farm businesses has been slow. Although the development of business plans is now common there is often a disconnect between monitoring and strategy. The Balanced Scorecard (BSC) was applied to case study farms during both the planning process and as they implemented and controlled their strategic choices to determine areas of difference that restrict or enhance it as a management tool for both family and... |

| The objective of this paper is to describe the principal features of lower order sharemilking in New Zealand. The paper outlines the nature of sharemilking in general and lower order sharemilking in particular. The legislation underpinning lower order sharemilking and the reasons for it are described. The legislation operates through "Orders" and the paper reports the obligations of employers and sharemilkers under the most recent (2001) Order. Statistics on lower order sharemilkers are presented. A case study shows the nature of the returns to lower order sharemilking. The paper concludes with comments on the likely future of lower order sharemilking in New Zealand. |

| Investing in farmland is fraught with conflicting signals. Oltmans (2001) concludes that while investing in land may generally be profitable it is seldom, if ever, feasible on a cash flow basis. He argues that the non-depreciable nature of land and long-term capital gains are incompatible with the capital recovery terms sought by investors and lenders. He also notes that literature on this subject tends to focus on either the returns (profitability) or the cash flow (feasibility) but not on both simultaneously. To assist in the debate it is helpful to split the farm into two businesses that are often, but not necessarily, linked - the property business, where success is measured by changes in asset values over time and is driven by smart purchase and sale... |
