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.

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.

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.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is motivated by highly concentrated ownership, the relatively large government stake in listed firms in the GCC (Gulf Cooperative Council) region, and the rapid stock market development and developing investor protection environment. The results point to heterogeneity in governance quality across exchanges. For the first time, we find that the positive relationship between governance quality and firm performance is maintained and is stronger at low levels of concentrated ownership. More interestingly, we find that the relationship between governance and firm performance is an increasing function of dispersed ownership and that the value addition of good governance is not necessarily maintained at high levels of ownership concentration. Furthermore, such a relationship reaches its highest level when the government or local corporations are the firm's major shareholders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corporate governance in the Asian context has witnessed a critical review and investigation from scholars after the Asian Financial crisis in 1997. This is due to the negative effect of ownership structure, which is concentrated, on minority shareholders. Previous studies considered this problem and tried to propose solutions and proposals to come up with efficient corporate governance mechanism. It has been argued that environment with weak legal protection of minority shareholders and inefficient external market and financial institutions is associated with concentrated ownership structure. Literatures in this context provided contradicted arguments about the effect of concentrated ownership in ensuring efficient corporate governance practice and better firm performance. Earlier studies claimed that dispersed ownership is the most efficient structure, where recent studies argued that block holders, such as families state and foreign, showed better governance practice and better firm performance. Within this debate this study tried to contribute to the literature by evaluating the corporate governance practice in Malaysia by focusing on ownership structure and its effect on firm performance and including a new factor, capital structure, to investigate its potential effect on the governance, and taking agency theory as un underlying theoretical background to explain the relationships. Malaysian firms are characterized with concentrated ownership which provides better environment to conduct this study. Based on data collected from the top 100 largest listed companies in Bursa Malaysia, our results showed that after nearly 15 years from the Asian Financial crisis concentrated ownership is still an important component in the Malaysian firms' ownership structure. The results showed further that managerial ownership and leverage are two governance mechanisms which are not used efficiently in governance. Panel Data analysis showed that ownership structure has different relationships with firm performance measurements, negative with the market based measurement (Tobin's Q), and positive with accounting based measurement (ROA), which indicate for potential expropriation of minority shareholders; where managerial ownership recoded negative relationships with both measurements. Foreign and state ownership have positive association with firm value, but state ownership is insignificant, whilst all ownership types are positively related with profitability. By including leverage as a moderating variable the results showed that moderating effect is significant and implies that leverage should be considered as an efficient corporate governance mechanism to ensure better performance and low agency problem.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corporate governance (CG) has gained substantial ground in developed economies; it has begun to make an impact in emerging markets like India only recently. Several studies, the majority from the developed economies, have examined the relationship between corporate governance mechanisms, ownership structure and firm performance. Those studies yielded different results, affected by the nature of the prevailing economies. Investigating India's listed firms could enhance the diversity of the growing body of work that examines this relationship. Using listed Indian firms (BSE SENSEX and CNX NIFTY) we study the relationship between ownership structure, corporate governance practices and firm value. In particular we have looked into the nature of relationship between family run companies and firm value. Family based governance system is widely prevalent in the India. While the monitoring hypothesis predicts a positive relation, the entrenchment hypothesis predicts a negative one between insider shareholding and firm value. We study the details of top Indian companies in terms of market confidence and use Return on Asset (ROTA) and Market Capitalisation to Enterprise Value as proxies for Firm Value. We use regression analysis to study the impact of ownership structure and corporate governance practises on firm value. We try to explain the impact of these variables on the valuation of family run companies and analyse how different they are from the non-family run companies.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The evidence corroborates the uniqueness of corporate governance practices in Indonesia, and the findings support the supremacy of controlling shareholders Further to the growing debate on the costs and benefits of controlling shareholders, the empirical findings of this study reveal that these shareholders are the source of the corporate governance problem rather than solution. In short, the most basic factor which inhibits the effectiveness of corporate governance implementation in Indonesia is the existence of powerful large shareholdings in the hands of a family. Governance reform, therefore, should address the corporate system by seeking to reduce the supremacy of these shareholders, and at the same time empower the other stakeholders. The findings also support the view of both the co-evolutionary and path-dependency theories in regard to factors that determine the pattern of ownership structure. The development of firms in Indonesia follows the path-dependence structure and, during this process, the firms ́̀̆environments will interact with and operate endogenous responses for environmental change. Such exogenous and endogenous forces shape the environment and trigger organisations to adapt in different ways so that they are able to survive. Thus, one would expect there to be different corporate governance systems within each country and any effort towards reforming such systems should consider factors specific to that country. This implies that governance reforms should be fully compatible with a countryś̀̆ national culture, institutional, legal and business systems. Other variables, such as informal norms (social norms and cultural beliefs) and the political environment in a country should also be considered in the design of these reforms.these.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this paper is to provide evidence whether firms with more or less concentrated ownership and better corporate governance will have better performance and enjoy higher credit ratings, as default risk will be reduced. While some theories and empirical studies suggest that ownership structure affects firms' performance, some others suggest there is no such relationship. Also whether the practice of corporate governance is for the appearance of compliance to the regulation only and therefore it does not have positive impact to the shareholders and creditors.This paper investigates the relationship between ownership concentration and structure, governance mechanism and firm performance in Indonesia listed companies for a sample of 271 firms during 2006.The results of the regressions tend to support the above hypothesis. In Indonesia, companies are still dominated by single largest or majority shareholders, with its positive effect that it will minimize the agency cost with the management, thus improves performance.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explores corporate governance practices in different organizational life cycles that can lead firms' better performance. We propose a configurational approach to explore how different causal conditional effects are interdependent in explaining firms' performance. Using fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis, we find that no single causal condition is sufficient for firms achieving high performance. Instead ownership structure and the role of board of directors (in combination with country specific factors' strength of formal institutions) configurational conditions that lead firms' higher performance amongst different organizational life cycles. Moreover, the causal factors configure in different ways for firms growth, maturity and declining trends. This study demonstrates the value of using a configurational analytical approach to explore both the firm and country specific corporate governance practices (together) that engage firms to achieve the desired level of performance.

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.
