Book Synopsis Board Composition, Managerial Ownership, and Firm Performance by : Scott W. Barnhart
Download or read book Board Composition, Managerial Ownership, and Firm Performance written by Scott W. Barnhart and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Simultaneous-equations techniques are being used more often in corporate governance research. However, when no formal theoretical model is present, misspecification in one or more of the first or second stage regression is likely, causing empirical results to be seriously biased. This paper investigates the combined effect of ownership structure and board composition on corporate performance, using an instrumental-variables approach that allows for sensitivity analysis. The results indicate that managerial ownership, board composition, and Tobin's Q are jointly determined. More importantly, final results are very sensitive to reasonable changes in both the overall model specification and to the set of instruments.The results strongly suggest that in corporate governance research, sensitivity analysis is essential, results should be interpreted cautiously, and ordinary least squares results should not be casually dismissed.
Book Synopsis Responsible Corporate Governance by : Maria Aluchna
Download or read book Responsible Corporate Governance written by Maria Aluchna and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-05-10 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the tasks and functions of corporate governance in the light of current challenges and the dynamics that arise from a broader approach to company management and the integration of corporate governance with corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability. Addressing the corporate governance shortcomings that are believed to have contributed to the recent financial crisis, it explores the interplay between corporate governance and CSR, and includes examples of company practice to show how such changes affect the practices of shareholders, boards of directors and regulators. In particular, the book examines shareholders’ activities, their different investment strategies, specific reporting expectations and the submission of proposals to the annual meeting. Further, for boards of directors it explores the need to revise their tasks with respect to the criteria for executive appointments, their corporate strategy, performance measures and diversity recommendations, while for directors it provides recommendations to reconsider the structure of executive pay and performance incentives. Lastly, for regulators the book investigates the need to introduce new laws addressing, for instance, the need for integrated reporting, limiting the voice of short term oriented shareholders and providing guidelines for executive compensation.
Book Synopsis Corporate Governance and Organisational Performance by : Naeem Tabassum
Download or read book Corporate Governance and Organisational Performance written by Naeem Tabassum and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-06-28 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Establishing a corporate governance strategy that promotes the efficient use of organisational resources is instrumental in the economic growth of a country, as well as the successful management of firms. This book reviews existing literature and identifies board structural features as key variables of an effective corporate governance system, establishing a multi-theoretical model that links Board structural characteristics with firm performance. It then, using a comprehensive empirical study of 265 companies listed on the Karachi Stock exchange, tests this conceptual model. This research serves as a significant milestone, reflecting the socio-economic setting of emerging economies, and highlighting the need for the corporate sector in emerging markets to move away from a 'tick-box' culture. It argues that the sector needs to implement corporate governance as a tool to mitigate business risks; appoint and empower non-executive directors to achieve an effective monitoring of management; and establish their own ethical and governance principles, applicable to the Board of Directors. Based on an extensive data base, collected painstakingly over five years, this book offers new insights and conceptual framework for further research in this area. Given the breadth and width of the research, it is a useful source of future reference for students, researchers and policy makers.
Book Synopsis Corporate Governance and Diversity in Boardrooms by : Barbara Sveva Magnanelli
Download or read book Corporate Governance and Diversity in Boardrooms written by Barbara Sveva Magnanelli and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-10-02 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores diversity in boardrooms to highlight the link between the heterogeneous dimensions of board diversity and their impact on the firms. The book provides a brief definition of corporate governance and focuses on the role and functions of the board of directors. The work contributes to the literature enriching the empirical findings about board diversity. After a deep review of the literature within several theoretical frameworks, such as agency, stakeholder, stewardship, resource dependence, and the institutional theory, the focus moves on the impact on financial performance. The board diversity effects are tested through an empirical analysis conducted on a sample of European listed companies, performing both a single and a joint diversity index analysis. Practitioners and academics will find this book particularly timely and useful as it combines both a review of the literature and robust empirical investigation. It will be an excellent reading for academics and practitioners interested in firm performance, corporate governance and stakeholder theory.

Book Synopsis Corporate Takeovers and Productivity by : Frank R. Lichtenberg
Download or read book Corporate Takeovers and Productivity written by Frank R. Lichtenberg and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this revealing study Frank Lichtenberg uses Census Bureau and other data on hundreds of business transactions during the 1970s and 1980s to examine the effects of changes in corporate control on productivity. The 1980s saw explosive activity in the arena of corporate takeovers. In this revealing study Frank Lichtenberg uses Census Bureau and other data on hundreds of business transactions during the 1970s and 1980s to examine the effects of changes in corporate control on productivity. He concludes that the restructuring of the U.S. economy during the past decade has contributed to higher productivity and increased international competitiveness. Corporate Takeovers and Productivity examines the effects of mergers and acquisitions, in general, and leveraged buyouts, in particular on a number of important, interrelated variables: on the productivity and market share of manufacturing plants, on fixed and R&D investment, on the employment and wages of both blue- and white-collar workers, and on corporate diversification. Among Lichtenberg's findings are that the least productive plants are most likely to change owners - a change that tends to raise productivity performance; that takeovers significantly reduce the employment and wages of white-collar workers (except R&D personnel) but not of blue-collar workers; that industrial consolidation is one source of the productivity gains from takeovers; and that the U.S. LBOs and foreign mergers and acquisitions do not have the same effects as U.S. mergers and acquisitions.

Book Synopsis Ownership Structure, Board, and Manager Discretion on Performance by : Vincent Ongore
Download or read book Ownership Structure, Board, and Manager Discretion on Performance written by Vincent Ongore and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2011-02 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study investigated the combined effects of ownership structure, board effectiveness and managerial discretion on firm performance using agency theory as an analytical framework. Measures of performance used in the study were Return on Assets, Return on Equity and Dividend Yield. Using Pearson s Product Moment Correlation and Logistic Regression, Step-wise regression and ANOVA to analyze data obtained from companies listed at the Nairobi Stock Exchange, the study found out that Ownership Concentration and Government Ownership have significant negative relationships with firm performance. On the other hand, Foreign Ownership, Diffuse Ownership, Corporation Ownership, and Manager Ownership were found to have significant positive relationships with firm performance. The results of this study have indicted the Board of Directors for not playing any meaningful role in corporate governance in Kenya. On the other hand, the results support the need for managers to bear more responsibility of their mismanagement and also share in the residual income of the firms they manage.
Book Synopsis Managerial Ownership, Board Structure and Firm Value by : Mara Faccio
Download or read book Managerial Ownership, Board Structure and Firm Value written by Mara Faccio and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We analyze the simultaneous relationship between managerial ownership, board structure, and firm value, using a sample of all UK non-financial listed companies. We test the hypothesis that managers in the UK should become entrenched at a higher level of ownership compared to their US counterparts because of institutional differences across the two markets. We find a strong U-shaped relationship between the level of managerial ownership and the probability that the roles of chairman and CEO are split, that a non-executive director is appointed as chairman, and the proportion of non-executive directors on the board. However, we report a generally weak relationship between firm value and managerial ownership, board structure and the combination of managerial ownership and board structure. Our results cast doubt on the effectiveness of these internal corporate governance mechanisms.
Book Synopsis Board Composition, Board Activity and Ownership Concentration, the Impact on Firm Performance by : Shiguang Ma
Download or read book Board Composition, Board Activity and Ownership Concentration, the Impact on Firm Performance written by Shiguang Ma and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper provides a parallel investigation on the impact of board composition, board activity and ownership concentration on the performance of listed Chinese firms. We find that independent directors enhance firm performance effectively than other board factors. The frequency of shareholder meetings, rather than board meetings, is positively associated with firm value. Tradable share ownership concentration has a positive and linear relationship with firm value, while state and total share ownership concentration represent U(V) shapes. Importantly, companies with the highest levels of both total share and tradable share ownership concentration have a greater firm values than companies with the highest levels of only a single concentration.

Book Synopsis Managerial Ownership, Executive Remuneration and Firm Performance by : Leszek Bohdanowicz

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manuscript type: Empirical.Research Question/Issue: This study seeks to investigate the relationship between executive remuneration and company performance and to explore the influence of supervisory board and managerial ownership on executive remuneration in a country with concentrated ownership and a two-tier board model.Research Findings/Insights: The study uses data of 293 Polish companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange and a total of 1,118 observations were made for the period between 2008 and 2013. Having analyzed the panel data, there have been identified positive relationships between lagged ROA and executive remuneration in the whole sample, and also the positive relationship between lagged Tobin's q and executive remuneration, when managerial ownership is higher than 5%. Moreover, managerial ownership is also positively related to executive remuneration, but only when this ownership is higher than 5%. In contrary, there is no serious relationship between supervisory board characteristics, which are responsible for determining executive remuneration in the two-tier board model, and executive remuneration, only a weak relationship between supervisory board diversity and executive remuneration was found.Theoretical/Academic Implications: This study provides empirical support for agency theory and its implications for executive remuneration in companies with concentrated ownership structure. Moreover, it also gives support to the managerial power approach and suggests that owner-managers are able to influence their remuneration, but only when they own a substantial fraction of the company's equity. Furthermore, this research states that these managers can increase their own remuneration, linking top managers pay and firm performance. It also shows that there are only weak associations between supervisory board characteristics and executive remuneration. Since supervisory boards are perceived as passive, the characteristics of these bodies do not have real importance for the companies.Practitioner/Policy Implications: This study may contribute to the intensification of the discussion on executive remuneration and its association with company performance. In addition, it also adds arguments to the discussion on the role supervisory boards in the two-tier board model and managerial ownership in countries, where ownership is concentrated.
Book Synopsis Board Composition, Ownership Structure and Firm Performance by : Santanu K. Ganguli
Download or read book Board Composition, Ownership Structure and Firm Performance written by Santanu K. Ganguli and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper explores the impact of board composition and ownership structure on firm performance of Indian firms from 2009-2013 in presence of certain unique statutory provisions relating to independent directors and limits on ownership concentration. The results show that after controlling for various firm and industry level parameters, both accounting performance and market performance of firms are positively impacted by ownership concentration and board size but not by board independence. We record a two-way relationship and 'non-linearity' between market performance and ownership concentration . Very low and very high concentration negatively impact firm performance, the former being attributable to 'tunneling' , and the latter to 'illiquidity' and 'information asymmetry' associated with sale of holding by insiders to bring down concentration to permissible statutory limits. Larger board size impacting performance positively indicates that plurality of views and representation of various insiders' interest group might enhance performance but Independence has no such role because it may just be a 'myth'
