This book was released on 1998-08-27 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ability to implement change quickly is crucial to an organizations's success—not only in traditionally sedate industries, but also in today's fast-moving hi-tech ones. Sherman and Chaganti, from their study of 100 American corporations, half in stable industries, half in volatile ones, find that a firm's structure of governance bears heavily on the speed with which the firm can reorient itself. What are the characteristics of firms that change quickly? What inhibits others? And what, precisely, is the impact of a firm's stockholders, board and top management on its ability to adapt? Sherman and Chaganti provide answers to these and other questions, in the first book yet to focus entirely on the determinants of time in corporate reorientations. In order for a firm to develop or sustain a competitive advantage, it must not only adapt correctly to environmental change, but also adapt quickly. This study examines the factors associated with the time a firm takes to initiate reorientation. The results of the research indicate that even in relatively large organizations, reorientations are not rare and occur routinely. Further, deterioration of a firm's financial condition tends to hasten its initiation of reorientation. However, the determinants of time taken to initiate reorientation differ in firms with relatively high prior performance and firms with relatively low prior performance.

Download or read book Corporate Governance and the U S Firm written by El Mahdy, Ph.D. (CFE, Dina) and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past, corporate governance was an important control mechanism for maintaining the accountability of management and directors of an organization. However, the value of strong corporate governance has assumed a critical role in organizations since recent highly publicized business failures of a number of large companies. Claims about the unreliability of reported earnings continue, as evidenced by an increase in the frequency of earnings restatements, earnings management, and fraud. Thus, corporate governance systems continue to be of utmost importance based on the impact of financial reporting (e.g., firm value, earnings and audit quality, firm performance) on capital markets. This book provides a comprehensive review, discussion, and analysis of over 150 research works on the usefulness of corporate governance codes to US firms based on theory underlying corporate governance, anecdotal evidence, and practices. The book first introduces the multi-faceted aspects of corporate governance, reviews corporate governance codes and their unplanned consequences on US firms, and then classifies the extant literature on corporate governance over the last two decades, from 1990 to 2010. The book further discusses the association between corporate governance and organizational outcomes such as firm value, performance, and financial reporting quality to draw conclusions regarding the overall effectiveness of corporate governance codes to US firms. Based on this classification, the book offers directions for future research regarding corporate governance mechanisms to maximize their benefit to US firms.
