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.

Download or read book Corporate Governance Ownership Structure and Firm Performance written by Hoang N. Pham and published by Routledge. 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.

Download or read book Impact of Corporate Governance on Firm Performance written by Aswathy Mohan and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of corporate governance is gaining momentum as corporate governance compliance has been made mandatory. Even though made mandatory, the number of corporate governance issues are on the rise. The high profile scandals in Enron, World Com and also the Satyam scandal, Tata Mistry issues in India have also stimulated policy makers, investors, academicians and other stakeholders. Innumerable studies have investigated the relationship between corporate governance factors and performance, Spanos (2005) argues that corporate governance has significant implications for the growth prospects of an economy. In spite of the numerous studies, the results rather remain inconclusive. The variables considered in the model are measures of firm performance like Return On Equity (ROE) and Price to Book ratio (PB ratio) and corporate governance characteristics which include board composition, board size and CEO duality. The model used for analysis also included certain firm specific variables. These firm specific variables are financial leverage, asset turnover and growth in sales. To investigate the impact of corporate governance structure on firm performance, the study used a panel data OLS regression model for a sample of 30 firms quoted in the Bombay Stock Exchange. The results of the panel data analysis show that the CG factor, namely CEO duality and board size has a significant negative impact on firm performance whereas board composition revealed no significant impact on firm performance. It reveals that there is a need to undertake the monitoring process to lead to superior firm performance and indicates the need for firms to separate the post of CEO and Chair in order to ensure optimal performance. The results also suggest the leverage and asset turnover to have a significant positive impact on firm performance. The results may not be conclusive, as the inclusion of other corporate governance and performance variables would also be considered. Moreover, the corporate governance impacts on firm performance may vary from one industry to another which is another area that can be examined.

Download or read book Searching for a Corporate Savior written by Rakesh Khurana and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2011-09-19 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corporate CEOs are headline news. Stock prices rise and fall at word of their hiring and firing. Business media debate their merits and defects as if individual leaders determined the health of the economy. Yet we know surprisingly little about how CEOs are selected and dismissed or about their true power. This is the first book to take us into the often secretive world of the CEO selection process. Rakesh Khurana's findings are surprising and disturbing. In recent years, he shows, corporations have increasingly sought CEOs who are above all else charismatic, whose fame and force of personality impress analysts and the business media, but whose experience and abilities are not necessarily right for companies' specific needs. The labor market for CEOs, Khurana concludes, is far less rational than we might think. Khurana's findings are based on a study of the hiring and firing of CEOs at over 850 of America's largest companies and on extensive interviews with CEOs, corporate board members, and consultants at executive search firms. Written with exceptional clarity and verve, the book explains the basic mechanics of the selection process and how hiring priorities have changed with the rise of shareholder activism. Khurana argues that the market for CEOs, which we often assume runs on cool calculation and the impersonal forces of supply and demand, is culturally determined and too frequently inefficient. Its emphasis on charisma artificially limits the number of candidates considered, giving them extraordinary leverage to demand high salaries and power. It also raises expectations and increases the chance that a CEO will be fired for failing to meet shareholders' hopes. The result is corporate instability and too little attention to long-term strategy. The book is a major contribution to our understanding of corporate culture and the nature of markets and leadership in general.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: This study investigates the impact of the separate elements of corporate governance on enterprise financial performance explained in three separate models (ROA, ROE, and Debt Ratio) for non-financial companies present within the S&P Pan Arab Composite Index. The data on corporate governance choices includes 225 firms for ten years from 2006 to 2015 gathered from ORBIS, Reuters Eikon, Datastream, as well as, annual and board reports. The firms included in this study are all listed respective to their country's stock exchange, which are present in eleven Arab countries namely: Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia and United Arab Emirates. The corporate governance variables are divided into board structure variables, ownership structure variables, and controlled variables. Furthermore, the topic attempts to understand the significance of the Arab Spring uprising on firm performance using the ROA and ROE measurements and debt ratio as a measurement of firm leverage. Furthermore, the data is used to compare the corporate governance variables five years before the Arab Spring uprising to the five years during/after the uprising. Regression results are demonstrated in the form of models. Model 1 shows the effect of corporate governance on firm performance measured by ROA. Results show that there is a significant positive relationship with board size, institutional ownership, audit type on firm performance measured by ROA, also there a significant negative relationship with duality, foreign ownership, firm size and the revolution variable on firm performance measured by ROA. Model 2 shows the effect of corporate governance on firm performance measured by ROE. Results show that there is a significant positive relationship with board size, institutional ownership, audit type on firm performance measured by ROE, also there a significant negative relationship with duality, firm size and the revolution variable on firm performance measured by ROE. Model 3 shows the effect of corporate governance on firm performance measured by Debt Ratio. Results show that there is a significant positive relationship with director ownership, foreign ownership, firm size, foreign exchange rate and the revolution variable on firm performance measured by Debt Ratio, also there a significant negative relationship with duality, institutional ownership and firm age on firm performance measured by ROE. After conducing Mann-Whitney U test, results show that the variables ROA, ROE, ownership concentration, director ownership, institutional ownership, foreign ownership, firm size, firm age, foreign exchange rate, outward foreign direct investment and inward foreign direct investment were a higher mean rank before the Arab Spring uprising compared to during/after the Arab Spring uprising. On the other hand, the variables ownership concentration, director ownership, institutional ownership, foreign ownership, firm size, firm age and GDP were a higher mean rank during/after the Arab Spring uprising compared to before the Arab Spring uprising.

Download or read book Corporate Governance Mechanisms and Firm Performance written by Shveta Singh and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-05-12 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book begins by analysing the various corporate governance mechanisms explored in the extant literature and determining their effectiveness in enhancing the firm value using multivariate analysis. The findings are of global relevance as the corporate governance regulations of most countries focus on independent directors as the mainstay of good governance. The empirical evidence from the first objective of this study corroborates the claim that independent directors do not strengthen the firms’ governance quality. The book is one of the few works to have analysed the possible reasons behind the ineffectiveness of the independent directors. Also, in view of the famous concept of the bundle of governance mechanisms, it might be possible that the independent directors strengthen the firms’ governance quality indirectly by strengthening other governance mechanisms. This aspect too has little precedence. This study adopts a novel moderation and mediation approach to analyse the monitoring behaviour of independent directors in relation to other governance mechanisms. The work is a must read for corporate players as well as researchers and scholars studying this discipline.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Project Report from the year 2014 in the subject Business economics - General, grade: A, , language: English, abstract: In this study we elaborate the effects of corporate governance practices which recently practiced in Pakistani firms and also examine the relationship among corporate governance mechanisms, capital structure, dividend policy and firm performance. Those researchers who could not find significant link between corporate governance and firm performance suggest that good corporate governance has at least indirect effect on performance. This research attempts to prove that corporate governance effects firm performance directly; relatively it exerts its effects on firm performance through other factors such as capital structure decisions and dividend policy. This research study develops a multilevel model linking corporate governance, capital structure, dividend policy and firm performance then proves it through structural equation modeling (SEM). Corporate governance has been measured and conceptualized through Board Size, Board Composition, CEO Duality, Audit Committee Size and Annual General Meetings. Capital structure has been measured through it standardized proxy that is debt to equity ratio, while dividend policy is measured by dividend payout ratio. Firm performance has measured by two ratios return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE) both are used as accounting and financial measure in the literature review.

Download or read book Does Corporate Governance Affect Firm Value written by Sebastian Schilling and published by diplom.de. This book was released on 2003-05-27 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: This thesis provides evidence that companies showing stronger corporate governance performance are on average also valued higher in terms of Tobin s q. This evidence is found using a dataset of 242 of Europe s largest corporations listed in the FTSE Eurotop 300 index. For each of these corporations, a dataset of over 300 corporate governance rating variables is analysed to establish a detailed overview of a firm s corporate governance performance. These 300 rating variables result out of a corporate governance standard established by an independent rating agency in cooperation with the largest European institutional investors and in reference to the respective national corporate governance codes of the companies in the sample. The final regression model containing independent score components for Corporate Governance performance and financial performance proxied by ROA represents an R square adjusted of 42 per cent, thereby making the model and the inherent coefficients highly representative. The coefficient of the corporate governance score component suggests that, ceteris paribus, a one point increase in the value of the score component leads on average to a 0.3 point increase in Tobin s q. The statistical findings are tested in depth for their practical validity in the subsequent Interview with the DWS Investment Group.
