This book was released on 2022-01-25 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between ownership structure and firm performance has been studied extensively in corporate finance and corporate governance literature. Nevertheless, the mediation (path) analysis to examine the issue can be adopted as a new approach to explain why and how ownership structure is related to firm performance and vice versa. This approach calls for full recognition of the roles of agency costs and corporate risk-taking as essential mediating variables in the bi-directional and mediated relationship between ownership structure and firm performance. Based on the agency theory, corporate risk management theory and accounting for the dynamic endogeneity in the ownership–performance relationship, this book develops two-mediator mediation models, including recursive and non-recursive mediation models, to investigate the ownership structure–firm performance relationship. It is demonstrated that agency costs and corporate risk-taking are the ‘missing links’ in the ownership structure–firm performance relationship. Hence, this book brings into attention the mediation and dynamic approach to this issue and enhances the knowledge of the mechanisms for improving firm’s financial performance. This book will be of interest to corporate finance, management and economics researchers and policy makers. Post-graduate research students in corporate governance and corporate finance will also find this book beneficial to the application of econometrics into multi-dimensional and complex issues of the firm, including ownership structure, agency problems, corporate risk management and financial performance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper investigates the benefits and associated agency costs of using internal capital markets through affiliating with groups using data of two thousand firms from nine East Asian economies between 1994-96. We find that mature and slow-growing firms with ownership structures more likely to create agency problems gain more from group affiliation, while young and high-growth firms more likely lose. Agency problems are important explanatory factors of firm value in economies outside Japan, but less so in Japan. Consistent with the literature, financially-constrained firms benefit from group affiliation. Our results are robust to different time periods and estimation techniques.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper attempts to review literature on corporate governance on the ownership structure from a firm performance perspective. The dominant paradigm of corporate governance is based on the argument of Berle and Means (1932) that separation of ownership and control affects the reported level of income of firms, either positively or negatively. Subsequent studies have taken off from this concept of separation of ownership and control or in what is otherwise more famously known as 'conflict of interests' theory. Seven major arguments that have emerged within the context of 'conflict of interests' theory are explained in this paper. These arguments are basically considered to have emerged as an explanation to discuss the motivations that govern the managers and owners running the corporations. The uniqueness of the paper is in the way the literature is organized. As alluded earlier, corporate governance within the conflict of interests framework is subject to behavioral motivations of those who run the corporations. The profoundness of conflict of interests lies in where the locus of control is - with the managers, the owners, the institutional investors or with the markets. Hence, the literature has been classified under a few major headings to explain the importance of 'locus of control' and its impacts on firm's performance. Finally, some concluding remarks are offered in the summary.

This book was released on 2014-05-29 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The available literature encourages to study the relation between the ownership structure and the company efficiency in various contexts. This work is devoted to the analysis of the ownership structure of the companies included by Dow Jones U.S. Airlines Index in the period from 2008 to 2012. In detailed studies were used various profitability indicators, such as ROA, ROE, ROI. Moreover, the less popular indicator of the efficiency of the use of assets, Asset Turnover, was introduced. Tobin's Q ratio was also used. The companies owned by Dow Jones U.S. Airlines are in majority characterized by the ownership structure with the significant number of institutional owners, which is why the conclusions and the final views are mostly focused on this particular group of owners.

Download or read book Ownership Structure Corporate Governance and Firm Performance written by Vedat Mizrahi and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2011-08 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do corporate governance practices affect firm performance? Are shareholders willing to pay a premium for higher governance standards? How does the ownership structure of a firm affect its corporate governance practices and firm performance? This book investigates whether differences in the quality of firm-level corporate governance affects firm performance. Constructing a broad corporate governance index for listed Turkish companies, it is documented that there is a positive relationship between governance scores and Tobin's Q as a measure for firm performance. Firms with better corporate governance scores in the model used in this book have higher firm values, which implies that firms can increase shareholder value by restructuring their corporate governance standards. The analysis also sheds light on the impact of ownership structure on stock performance. Listed companies withhigher corporate governance scores and higher foreign ownership ratios experienced a smaller reduction in their share prices during the equity market crash in Turkey parallel to the global equity markets between 2008 and 2009.

This book was released on 2010-07 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Irrespective of the method of privatisation used, ownership has become more concentrated over time in Albanian firms. The underdeveloped corporate governance mechanisms created a primary role for ownership concentration as the main vehicle by which owners could exercise control over managers. The empirical analysis in this thesis shows that certain firm characteristics have a significant impact on the evolution of ownership structure. The analysis on the impact of ownership structure on the performance of privatised firms in Albania do not provide support for the conventional view that ownership concentration has a positive effect on firm performance. However, firm characteristics other than ownership concentration may explain the variation in the performance of these firms suggesting that owners choose the level of concentration which best suits their value maximisation objective. The overall analysis concludes with certain policy implications mostly related to a functional stock exchange, strengthening judicial system and law enforcement and the creation of an agency to maintain information on the financial performance of firms.

Book excerpt: Theory tells us that managerial ownership of shares in a firm generates two conflicting effects on management behaviour, i.e. the convergence effect whereby increased managerial ownership can improve corporate performance, and the entrenchment effect which counters it. A number of studies have sought to evaluate these effects empirically. The results in the literature are not uniformly in agreement. In this paper, we distinguish between measures of ownership and measures of control implied by this ownership. Furthermore, we provide evidence supporting the entrenchment and convergence effects using UK data. A revised version of this paper has appeared in the journal Applied Financial Economics, vol.8(2), pp.175-180, 1998.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deep and detailed research into the workings of corporate enables Professor Herman to throw considerable light on how the board of directors operates, how important outside directors are, how new members are selected, and how multiple directorships interlock the large corporations. Throughout the book the author contrasts the power of the managers with that of other interest groups - bankers, family - and he concludes that power lies with the managers. But this has not changed the basic objectives of the corporation - the pursuit of growth and profits - nor has it enhanced social responsibility. After thorough investigation Edward Herman concludes that government regulation has done surprisingly little to reduce the autonomy of the corporation. Just as the influence of bankers and investors has been resisted, so has the effect of regulation. Improved communications and controls, geographic dispersion, and the enhanced adaptability and mobility of the large corporation have all played a part in maintaining corporate power and managerial control. Corporate Control, Corporate Power will be essential reading for executives, policy makers, regulators, and all those concerned to make the corporation more responsible and accountable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper investigates the relation between the ownership structure and the performance of corporations if ownership is made multi-dimensional and also is treated as an endogenous variable. To our knowledge, no prior study has treated the corporate control problem this way. We find no statistically significant relation between ownership structure and firm performance. This finding is consistent with the view that diffuse ownership, while it may exacerbate some agency problems, also yields compensating advantages that generally offset such problems. Consequently, for data that reflect market-mediated ownership structures, no systematic relation between ownership structure and firm performance is to be expected.The accepted paper version of this abstract can be accessed using the following URL: http://ssrn.com/abstract_id=304181.
