Book The Impact of Ownership Type on Performance in Public Corporations

Download or read book The Impact of Ownership Type on Performance in Public Corporations written by David L. Kang and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study explores how power relationships between large-block shareholders and professional managers affect performance in public corporations. Certain types of shareholders with large ownership stakes are hypothesized to have formal authority, social influence and expertise that enables them to control public corporations, resulting in superior corporate performance. This idea is tested in a study of the U.S. textile industry from 1983-1992, an industry characterized by "transparent" economic conditions and strong social relationships between owners and managers, observed during a highly turbulent time period. Pooled, cross-sectional time series models indicate that controlling for ownership concentration, public corporations with outside-director owners, sustained owners and family owners each enjoy increased firm performance relative to industry competitors. These results suggest that large-block owners are not homogenous and that certain types of owners have a disproportionately large amount of influence in corporate governance.

Book Corporate Governance  Ownership Structure and Firm Performance

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.

Book excerpt: This work explores how external constraints affect organizations and provides insights for designing and managing organizations to mitigate these constraints. All organizations are dependent on the environment for their survival.

Book The  Buddenbrooks Effect

Download or read book The Buddenbrooks Effect written by David L. Kang and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explores how power relationships between large-block family owners and professional managers affect resource allocation decisions and performance in public corporations. Early-generation family shareholders with large ownership stakes are hypothesized to "control" public corporations using formal authority, social influence and expertise, resulting in superior resource allocation decisions and performance. These ideas are tested in a study of the U.S. textile industry from 1983-1992, a mature industry characterized by "transparent" economic conditions and strong social relationships between owners and managers, observed during a highly turbulent time period. Pooled, cross-sectional time series models indicate that controlling for ownership concentration, early-generation family owners are associated with superior resource allocation decisions and performance relative to industry competitors. These results are supported by field research interviews that suggest large-block family shareholders informally communicate with managers regarding important resource allocation decisions, and that families actively manage governance issues within family ownership blocks. Therefore, this study suggests that early-generation family owners have a disproportionately large amount of influence that is used in ways associated with appropriate resource allocation decisions and enhanced corporate performance.

Book Competitiveness  Organizational Management  and Governance in Family Firms

Download or read book Competitiveness Organizational Management and Governance in Family Firms written by Camisón, Cesar and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2019-11-22 with total page 459 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "family effect" remains a challenge for researchers interested in both the family firm’s organizational form and in the effects of familial ownership on a firm's strategy, structure, and performance. Governance mechanisms, management quality, ownership concentration, and family involvement all have relevant effects in terms of influencing monitoring costs, investment decisions, the development of the portfolio of resources and capabilities, and family firm competitiveness. Nevertheless, few studies to date have opened the black box of the "family effect." Competitiveness, Organizational Management, and Governance in Family Firms is an essential reference source that makes a clear distinction between the separation of ownership and management, on the one hand, and the institutional development of family governance instruments, on the other, to help uncover the asymmetric effects of these two choices. It also allows the examination as to which of the two strategies employed in family firms reinforce managerial capital that has a greater positive impact on the "family effect," thus helping to achieve better managerial capabilities. Featuring research on topics such as corporate governance, private business, and successional leadership, this book is ideally designed for managers, executives, CEOs, company owners, consultants, business professionals, entrepreneurs, academicians, and researchers interested in an in-depth understanding of the keys to success and survival of family-operated organizations.

This book was released on 2021-08-27 with total page 1146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Family-owned businesses account for many of the small and medium-sized enterprises that exist around the world in various industries. Due to their unique make up, these firms are often heavily influenced by family dynamics that must be reconciled by family and non-family workers alike in order to ensure the sustainability of the business.

The Research Anthology on Strategies for Maintaining Successful Family Firms discusses the strategies, sustainability, and human aspects of family firms in order to understand what sets them apart from other businesses and how they can survive and compete in a globalized economy. This book discusses the unique dynamic brought by family firms that offers both opportunities and challenges for a growing business. Covering topics such as corporate venturing, the family unit, and business ethics, this text is an essential resource for family firms, entrepreneurs, managers, business students, business professors, researchers, and academicians.
