Abstract
This paper provides a narrative record of a fantasy research pitching exercise conducted in the 2016-7 Summer Scholar Research Program at the University of Queensland (UQ). As such, “Fantasy Pitching III” extends upon Faff, Ali, et al. (2016) – “Fantasy Pitching” and Faff, Wallin et al. (2016) – “Fantasy Pitching II”. For this task, the six UQ Research Scholars are paired up into 3 teams. Specifically, using Faff’s (2015, 2017) pitching research template, the teams pitch fictitious projects related to: (a) “dirty money”; (b) “cashless society”; (c) “digital currency”. Such a fantasy application of the “pitching” approach provides a low stress setting for appreciating and exploring the underlying philosophy of the pitching research tool.
