Download or read book A Handbook of Management Theories and Models for Office Environments and Services written by Rianne Appel-Meulenbroek and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-08-02 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although workplace design and management are gaining more and more attention from modern organizations, workplace research is still very fragmented and spread across multiple disciplines in academia. There are several books on the market related to workplaces, facility management (FM), and corporate real estate management (CREM) disciplines, but few open up a theoretical and practical discussion across multiple theories from different disciplines. Therefore, workplace researchers are not aware of all the angles from which workplace management and effects of workplace design on employees has been or could be studied. A lot of knowledge is lost between disciplines, and sadly, many insights do not reach workplace managers in practice. Therefore, this new book series is started by associate professor Rianne Appel-Meulenbroek (Eindhoven University of Technology, the Netherlands) and postdoc researcher Vitalija Danivska (Aalto University, Finland) as editors, published by Routledge. It is titled ‘Transdisciplinary Workplace Research and Management’ because it bundles important research insights from different disciplinary fields and shows its relevance for both academic workplace research and workplace management in practice. The books will address the complexity of the transdisciplinary angle necessary to solve ongoing workplace-related issues in practice, such as knowledge worker productivity, office use, and more strategic management. In addition, the editors work towards further collaboration and integration of the necessary disciplines for further development of the workplace field in research and in practice. This book series is relevant for workplace experts both in academia and industry. This second book in the series focuses on the role of workplace management in the organization and the tasks that workplace management needs to consider. The 18 theories that are presented in this book and applied to workplace research discuss management aspects from the organization’s perspective or dive deeper into issues related to people and/or building management. They all emphasize that workplace management is a complex matter that requires more strategic attention in order to add value for various stakeholders. The final chapter of the book describes a first step towards integrating the presented theories into an interdisciplinary framework for developing a grand workplace management theory.

Download or read book Corporate Governance Agency Theory and Firm Value written by Hamizah Hassan and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2017-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Important corporate governance mechanisms such as ownership concentration and debt used by the large firms can affect firm performance and value in developed markets. The mixed findings which are non-conclusive in the literature pertaining to these relationships pose questions about the exact nature of the relationships between these mechanisms and firm value. Moreover, the mixed findings in the literature have resulted in the endogeneity issue of the former becoming central to discussions in corporate governance and corporate finance studies. The research in this book focuses on the dynamic endogeneity issue to investigate whether this issue influences the relationship between corporate governance mechanisms and firm value in the largest Australian firms based on agency theory. The study investigates this issue through three different advanced econometric models and tests based on agency theory: two-way fixed effects (FE) and the two-step system known as the generalised method of moments (GMM). The book concludes that dynamic endogeneity is not a serious issue in influencing the relationship between corporate governance mechanisms and firm value in the largest Australian firms. These models can be applied to other countries for investigating similar corporate governance and finance issues.

This book was released on 2007-05-22 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book develops a conceptual framework for the relationship between organisation and output, and applies it to the analysis of German and British export support services. These findings help to explain why one organisation may be different from another, but equally effective and efficient, and why no panacea for effective and efficient organisation has been found. They also suggest angles from which existing organisations and blueprints of ‘better’ organisations can be examined.
Download or read book An Empirical Test of the Agency Theory in Corporate Governance of SACCOs in Uganda written by Kibs Boaz Muhanguzi and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In organizations, the principal (owners) hire agents (management) for the purpose of producing goods and services. Each party in a firm has a unique goal. For example, as the principal seeks to maximize dividends, agents cherish utility maximization from their status and claims for non-pecuniary benefits. While executing their roles and obligations, management may consider fulfilling their interests at the expense of the owners, and vice versa. Management misconduct results in agency problems. This study tests the relevance of the agency theory and examines whether existing corporate governance mechanisms address agency problems in Savings and Credit Cooperatives (SACCOs) in Uganda. Inquiry follows a mixed research (both quantitative and qualitative) design by use of self-administered questionnaires and personal interviews. The key informants are selected through a stratified sampling procedure. Questions are asked about the agency problems emanating from: the utility of owners and management, financial challenges, and information asymmetry; and governance mechanisms. Respondents' views and perceptions are analyzed using a 5-point Likert scale. From a sample of 252 SACCOs, each with a minimum of ten years of experience, findings show that majority (40%) operate in Western Uganda, have a minimum of 1,000 shareholders, 65.1% of the Board has at least a first degree, and a dominance male (91.7%) in management. The average welfare index for the owners (4=bad welfare) is lower than that of the management (2.7=good welfare) signaling presence of conflicts. The board composition shows less CEO duality, bigger size, more independence, higher remuneration, and presence of audit committees. Examining whether this structure impacts on the agency conflicts, the marginal effects from the probit regression indicate that the board size, remuneration, and independence have a high likelihood of reducing the principal-agent problems while the audit committee yields a reverse sign. Therefore, there is need for the adoption of good corporate governance practices in SACCOs for survival.
Download or read book The Routledge Companion to Financial Accounting Theory written by Stewart Jones and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-05-22 with total page 559 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Financial accounting theory has numerous practical applications and policy implications, for instance, international accounting standard setters are increasingly relying on theoretical accounting concepts in the creation of new standards; and corporate regulators are increasingly turning to various conceptual frameworks of accounting to guide regulation and the interpretation of accounting practices. The global financial crisis has also led to a new found appreciation of the social, economic and political importance of accounting concepts generally and corporate financial reporting in particular. For instance, the fundamentals of capital market theory (i.e. market efficiency) and measurement theory (i.e. fair value) have received widespread public and regulatory attention. This comprehensive, authoritative volume provides a prestige reference work which offers students, academics, regulators and practitioners a valuable resource containing the current scholarship and practice in the established field of financial accounting theory.
