Semantic fingerprinting is a leading AI solution that combines recent developments from cognitive neuroscience and psycholinguistics to analyze text with human-level accuracy. As an efficient method of quantifying text, it has already found its application in finance where the semantic fingerprints of company descriptions have been shown to successfully predict stock return correlations of Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) constituents. By extension, it has been suggested that diversified portfolios could be constructed to exploit the fundamental (dis)similarity between companies’ core activities (measured by the semantic overlap of company descriptions). This paper follows the performance of two portfolios made of the same DJIA constituent companies: the “minimum semantic concentration” portfolio (constructed with text-based portfolio weights) and the traditional “minimum variance” portfolio, over a time span of 16 years including two high volatility events: the 2007 − 2009 financial crisis and the COVID pandemic. The results confirm that textual analysis using semantic fingerprinting is consistently successful in predicting stock return correlations and is valuable as a portfolio selection criterion. However, in times of high market volatility the fundamental information given by the companies’ core activities, while still relevant, might carry less weight.

IntroductionA range of innovative, targeted anti-cancer therapies have been developed over the past 20 years. More recently, companies have been developing combinations of these drugs. While this promises substantial efficacy benefits, dual-brand oncology therapy combinations may potentially create substantial economic burden. Obtaining a positive health technology assessment (HTA) recommendation and public reimbursement can be a major challenge, and may be more difficult when each constituent monotherapy is marketed by a different company. We evaluated whether dual-brand oncology therapies developed by a single manufacturer had faster or better outcomes than those developed by two separate manufacturers.MethodsRecent combination oncology drug products were screened in November 2018 to identify whether one or two manufacturers were involved. The websites of various HTA organizations were screened and the relevant data extracted.ResultsA total of 78 recommendations for dual-brand oncology treatments were identified across the HTA agencies screened: 26 of these were for combinations by the same manufacturer and 52 were for combinations with two manufacturers. Dual-brand therapies developed by a single manufacturer were more likely to receive full or optimized/conditional recommendations (58% “recommended” and 12% “optimized/conditional”) than those marketed by two separate manufacturers (42% “recommended” and 8% “optimized/conditional”). Dual-brand therapies with two manufacturers were more likely to receive negative HTA recommendations than those marketed by a single manufacturer (50% versus 31%). However, the median time from marketing authorization to recommendation in European countries was the same (6 months), regardless of whether each constituent monotherapy was marketed by one or two manufacturers.ConclusionsHTA agencies were more likely to issue negative recommendations for dual-brand oncology treatments marketed by two separate companies, compared with those marketed by a single company. A single company may have more flexibility in price setting, which may facilitate more positive HTA recommendations.

The relevance of the study is caused by the development of the economic system of Russia and legal relations in the business area, as well as by the particular role of joint-stock companies as constituent entities. The retrospective analysis of Russian legislation is necessary to understand the cause-and-effect relations of legislative consolidation of legal norms, which govern the joint-stock companies' activity. The results of such an analysis can contribute to solving the problems of current lawmaking in this field. This paper presents the historical and administrative prerequisites for the establishment of joint-stock business entities in pre-revolutionary Russia. The paper considered the issue of the reception of a joint-stock form of entrepreneurship and analyzed principal legislative acts regulating the questions of defining a legal status and creating joint-stock companies. From the content of the Manifesto of January 1, 1807, the author identified the essential features of a joint-stock company, which, by their nature, correspond to those enshrined in current Russian legislation. The study considered the historical prerequisites of normative consolidation of the principle of limited liability of corporation participants. The author investigates the issues of joint-stock companies establishment and the structure of a Charter as a constituent document; focuses on the insufficient legal regulation of the joint-stock companies activity, which resulted in the increased regulatory role of Charters. The paper analyzes special aspects of normative regulation of joint-stock companies activity in the territory of the Russian Empire, for example, the established limitations. The author concludes on the absence of a clear split of various legal company types and identifies the collision in terms used in legislation to define joint-stock companies. Within the research, the author concludes the existence of continuity of current corporate legislation.

A business company which is defined as being socially responsible, demonstrates the perception of the link between social and fmancial performance. This characteristic may lead the business company to long-term competitive advantages in terms of improvement of financial performance. In the European countries, Islamic institutional investors such as mutual funds, equity funds, charities etc have become the predominant players and their influence in the western markets are growing. Present study hypothesises that Islamic or socially responsible institutional investors invest heavily in companies with strong corporate social performance. Empirical results indicate a significant, positive relationship between social performance and number of institutions holding shares of constituent companies of the Islamic index.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to assess the influences on the due process of standard-setting with reference to the legitimacy of the financial reporting “soft law” that is International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Design/methodology/approach This study uses a literature review to analyse the governance structures, due process steps, staffing and funding of IFRS standard-setting activities. The study also uses descriptive statistics to analyse constituent participation during the development of two IFRS standards. The mean, median and standard deviation are used as measures of location and dispersion when analysing constituent participation. Findings IFRS governance structures are dominated by G20 countries. The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) depends on international accounting firms, the European Commission and the G8 countries for its financial viability. Well-resourced national standard-setters, major international companies, international accounting firms and educational institutions are able to second their staff to the IASB thereby providing them with direct lobbying opportunities. The IFRS due process procedures provide opportunities for participation but actual participation is dominated by constituents from Europe with African and South American constituents the least active. Practical Implications IFRS are required or permitted in over 100 countries. The IASB, with no legal or formal mandate, is performing a task normally reserved for national standard-setters. The legitimacy of IFRS is questionable if the standard-setting due process is perceived as invalid. Originality/value The global financial crisis exposed weaknesses in the IFRS due process when the IASB amended IAS 39 without following the due process. African and South American standard-setters should take note that their lack of participation in IFRS standard-setting, coupled with the influence of powerful stakeholders on IFRS standard-setting, could result in standards not relevant for their regions.

Full textAbstract:
The actions of companies are a multifaceted and complex procedure. The company communicates with several factors at various levels, from state to the suppliers. At the same time, in the course of the organization's whole operation, both internal and external ever-changing circumstances impact its actions and performance. That kind of ever-changing ambiance places organizations at risk of an financially unstable position. A company's bankruptcy is a regarded as crisis that needs particular approaches of financial management to surmount that. It appears greatly significant to evaluate the status of the company, take steps to restore solvency, and define the likelihood of bankruptcy. Analysis and assessment of the likelihood of bankruptcy supply an overall evaluation of the company's monetary stability, and a prediction for the future. This study aims to analyze some practical means to forecast companies' potential bankruptcy and financial insolvency. To gratify that aim, monographic, economic-statistical, and abstract-logical methods are considered. Based on the results obtained, to raise the effectiveness of the company's capital, working capital should be normalized through planning the lowest requirement for working capital for all the constituent factors vital for the company’s uninterrupted, and normal operation.

Full textAbstract:
The article deals with environmental and legal problems of using underground resources, particularly associated petroleum gas. Today regional legislation develops unsystematically and inconsistently, because the powers of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation are regulated insufficiently in the sphere of environmental protection and ensuring environmental safety, when using underground resources. Some cases contain direct contradictions to federal legislation. Some constituent entities of the Russian Federation have a tendency for normative legal regulation of this area of public relations within the framework of "advanced standard-setting". These tendencies show the need to specify the powers of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation in federal legislation. Disposal of associated petroleum gas is becoming a serious problem today. A great part of this gas is wildly flared getting into the atmosphere, whereas there is a more decent and even profitable way of its disposal. The article analyzes the corporate structure of associated petroleum gas production in Russia and determines the directions for improving the legal framework. Based on their research, the authors propose to develop a Program of implementing a set of measures aimed at increasing the extraction and subsequent processing (disposal) of associated petroleum gas by independent oil companies, which could serve as measures for state stimulation of oil production development.

AbstractProduct Service Systems (PSS) are increasingly complex and collaborative. For instance, manufacturing companies, service providers, and other companies collaborate and jointly develop and operate a PSS (ex: smart grid), where its constituent elements are managed and operated independently. Managerial independence and operational independence are commonly considered key characteristics of a System of Systems (SoS). Hence, a collaborative PSS exhibits System of Systems (SoSs) characteristics. These systems have previously been introduced as Product Service Systems of Systems (PSSoSs). In this paper, we propose to identify relevant uncertainties in the PSSoS design process. For this purpose, we go beyond the PSSoS concept definition and propose a comprehensive framework for PSS and PSSoS characterization. Moreover, based on both a literature review and an industrial diagnosis, we identify PSSoSs-specific design uncertainties.

When Russian construction companies switch to project financing they face a number of problems which have a negative impact on their operations. While a company is able to influence internal factors (such as resources, capital, their utilization efficiency etc.) it is virtually impossible to control external factors (inflation, unemployment, government policy etc.). These factors make a company less stable financially. One of manifestations of financial stability is resistance to external environmental disturbances. External factors influence corporate financial stability, they are mortgage rate, price increase index etc. Defining the extent of influence of external factors will help to mitigate the impact of external environment, alleviate the consequences. This makes the topic of the research relevant and increases the significance of analysis of external factors which influence corporate operations.In this paper we conducted content analysis of the financial stability definition; evaluated financial stability of 50 construction companies of the Siberian Federal District; selected statistical information by constituent entities of the Siberian Federal District which influences construction companies’ operations; assessed influence of the selected factors on financial stability of construction companies applying the binary choice model (logit model). The research showed that mortgage rate, consumer price index and nominal average salary influence construction companies of the Siberian Federal District. If influence of these factors is taken into consideration when planning and managing construction companies’ resources they will be able to resist the impact of external environment and improve their financial stability.

The article discusses the international practices of organizing emergency care for foreigners when specialized assistance companies directly coordinate the process. The involvement of the national health care system in the provision of emergency and acute care to non-residents directly shapes the global reputation of the country as a healthcare and tourist destination. This reflects the objectives laid down by the Government of the Russian Federation in the national project policies.
Purpose: to study the role of specialized medical assistance companies in the Russian health care system for foreigners, to identify aspects of their work and evaluate their potential contribution to shaping and developing global reputation of the Russian healthcare system.
Results and conclusion. Study shows that today assistance companies are an underestimated participant on the Russian medical tourism market that could help strengthen the regional and federal healthcare destinations and provide new opportunities for Russian medical organizations. Few Russian studies have investigated impact of assistance companies, which in turn limits the tools for raising tourist attractiveness of the Russian Federation and its constituent entities.

The territories of the timber industry complex of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation that are part of the North-West Federal District are considered. A number of regions in the North-West Federal District possess a significant forest resource base and a system of logging and woodworking centers, which is a prerequisite for the intensive development of the timber industry complex and its territories. However, at present, the wood resource potential of these constituent entities of the Russian Federation and the capabilities of the timber industry complex of the North-West Federal District are not being used rationally and are being subject to extracting the current profits by renters of forest areas, which саuses stagnation of wood processing companies and places of their locations. In order to search for potential field of development of territories belonging to the timber industry complex of the North-West Federal District, urban planning aspects of the modern use of these territories have been studied, key urban-planning and resource problems requiring a scientifically based solution have been identified and structured.

The legal person, now a distinct institution in its own right, regulated as such in the Romanian Civil Code, is the result of a long process of modernisation of Romanian legislation, but also of its harmonisation with international regulations which unanimously recognise the legal person as a subject of law. The notion of legal person was born in private law and has been and is used in all branches of law. Legal persons are distinct subjects in civil law or commercial law legal relationships. The legal person is a subject of law with a wide scope in the legal circuit. Commercial companies, autonomous companies, companies, are participants as legal persons in private law relationships. Legal persons are the entities provided for by law, as well as any other legally-established organisations which, although not declared by law to be legal persons, fulfill all the conditions provided for by the Civil Code and the relevant legislation. The present article aims to present the specific rules for the establishment and functioning of a legal person, as well as issues related to classifications and constituent elements, and to their liability for legal acts or deeds performed.

Reliable and complete coverage of the financial statements of information on the size and composition of equity capital is fundamental for an objective assessment of the financial status and efficiency of the enterprise and for making further decisions by owners, investors, creditors and other users of information. Over the past few years, some changes have been made in the way in which the equity of the enterprise is reflected in the accounting, which requires detailed analysis and evaluation of changes to find ways to improve the accounting of equity capital of the enterprise. The purpose of this publication is to study the legal regulation of the formation and accounting of equity, in particular in limited liability companies, as well as the development of organizational principles of its accounting. Financial independence of the enterprise and other indicators of the financial state directly depends from the complete and clear legal regulation of accounting of equity capital by enterprises of various organizational and legal forms, the effectiveness of the information management of capital formation, profit distribution, dividend and other corporate rights. The normative regulation of the accounting of own capital in Ukraine at the state level (macro level) and at the level of economic entities (micro level) is investigated. From June 17, 2018, the new Law on Limited Liability and Additional Liability Companies came into force. The fundamental change in the regulation of the activities of economic entities of such organizational and legal forms leads to the need to amend its constituent documents and internal accounting regulations. Changes made in accordance with the Law concerning the formation of the authorized capital of the companies with limited liability and additional liability are considered. An exemplary section of the order on the accounting policy that will regulate the accounting of own capital is designed and offered for practical use by limited liability companies. The formation of such section will allow the reconciliation of the accounting policies and constituent documents in order to meet the interests of users in accounting for equity capital. After all, the proper formation of accounting policies is an important element of internal regulation of the formation and accounting of equity, contributes to improving the completeness and reliability of information about the financial condition of the enterprise. Based on the study of legal regulation of formation and accounting of equity in limited liability companies, it was found that at the macro level the state regulates only certain aspects of these processes. Moreover, there remains a wide range of variability in the selection of organizational and methodological approaches to accounting of equity capital. This, in turn, provides the opportunity for the owners of the companies to choose the optimal alternative accounting option for this particular entity, taking into account the specifics of its activities. The main internal regulations of enterprises regulating the issues of formation, use and accounting of own capital are the statute and order on accounting policy. The research revealed shortcomings in the formation of norms as a charter and an order on accounting policies of limited liability companies in respect of own capital. Proposed changes to the specified internal regulations of limited liability companies, which will bring their norms in line with the norms of legislation, in particular with the norms of the Law of Ukraine "On Limited Liability Companies" of 22.06.2018, № 2275-VIII, and will allow to obtain full, relevant , unbiased information about equity capital for all the interested parties.

An almost abrupt change in attitude towards applications in the field of renewable energies has emerged in recent months, both among decision-makers in politics and in companies. [1]
In particular, the topic of hydrogen production by electrolysis plays an eminently important role. In water electrolysis, water is split into its constituent ¬parts hydrogen and oxygen using electrical energy. The resulting hydrogen is of interest to future energy systems for a number of reasons, including the fact that hydrogen can serve as a storage medium for electrical energy from renewable energy conversion systems such as photovoltaic or wind turbines.

In the way of fast and complex developments of businesses, the inventory plays as well an important role. The complexity of the economic environment where the businesses operate and the problems they encounter orient the manager’s attention towards the management of inventory. This refers to the inventory’s specifics in general and his constituent elements. Despite these the common characteristic of the inventory is its double character, as on one hand it represents necessary, inevitable elements for the development of the productive activity of every business, and on the other the inventory requires considerable commitments of the financial sources. This has made the efficient management of the inventory a central problem, on which a series of researches have been concentrated.This paper is an effort to deal with some problems of efficient management of the inventory in the business organizations, regarding the quantity, quality, and time dimensions on the inventory because inventories are the focal point in business performance.

Full textAbstract:
In business terms, the ultimate purpose of innovation is to generate profitable growth. However, in mature industrial technology segments, endeavours of innovation often result merely in the maintenance of market share and rarely in net lasting growth. Expectations from the market for radical changes are unusual, and firms tend to focus on short term exploitation activities. In this environment, the creation of significant innovations with value that cannot be rapidly contested by competitors is a major challenge. Based on the analysis of innovation management systems of six European companies operating in mature technology segments, this paper presents a framework based on multi-case study research that links key components of the innovation system to growth performance. The analysis of innovation drivers is structured with constituent factors of culture, leadership, resources, and processes. The article concludes with a proposal of an innovation system construct that has shown to be effective to guide the best companies to break through the exploitation glass ceiling and create new uncontested growth streams.

Full textAbstract:
This is an evaluation of the impact of corporatist and pluralist employers' associations on firms' programmatic participation in active labour-market and social policies in Denmark and Britain. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with randomly-selected companies, it explores whether employers' associations engage differently with their constituent firms in corporatist and pluralist settings, and whether corporatist countries have an advantage in implementing active social policies. Variations in type of employer organization are found to constitute a determinant of cross-national differences in business attitudes towards the welfare state. Membership in a Danish employers' association confers an entirely different set of effects from membership in a British group and associational membership is a significant positive determinant of firm participation in Denmark but not in Britain. Active social policy has been viewed as a growth opportunity in a new issue area by the Danish ‘peak’ employers' association and its sectoral members. Although this association is losing some control over collective bargaining, its constituent associations have developed other functions, such as creating deliberative forums for managers, especially at the local level. The research also highlights the role of the state in the renegotiation and survival of corporatist institutional arrangements.

Full textAbstract:
This study aims to investigate the influence of board interlocking in income smoothing practices in public companies with shares traded on the BM&FBOVESPA. To achieve this objective we adopted a sample comprised of 58 Brazilian companies included in the Bovespa index. The study is classified as empirical and analytical and uses as a proxy for income smoothing a metric called the "smoothing factor" (SF), obtained through the factor analysis technique using the metrics EM1 and EM3 from Leuz, Nanda and Wysocki (2003). As independent variables we employed indicators of social network analysis. From a theoretical point of view, the study is relevant and innovates in making the connection between the resource dependence theory, the agency theory and board interlocking. In practical terms, the study shows the effects of the constitutive elements of corporate social networks, arising from the board interlocking structure, on income smoothing accounting practices. Regression with panel data using fixed effects showed that the constituent elements of corporate social networks tend to influence the practice of smoothing in the sample used. The results of the study show that companies that share board members with other organizations which smooth their results tend to adopt this organizational practice more easily, which can be explained by: (i) companies causing variations in performance due to operational decisions or financial reporting choices; and (ii) managers making use of discretionary practices in the reporting of profits.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to verify the level of disclosure of the survival, growth, and profitability (SGP) construct in the mission statements of Brazilian companies and in the collective discourse of different economic sectors, classified according to the “Biggest & Best” Annual published by Exame Magazine. The research seeks to fill the gap in the field by studying the disclosure of the SGP construct in the mission statements of large Brazilian companies. Considering the mission statement as the genesis of strategic planning, an analysis of the disclosure of the SGP construct allows for a discussion of the relevance of the contribution of the mission statement to the elaboration, implementation, and monitoring of that planning. The benefit of a mission statement aligned with the strategic planning lies in adequate communication to the stakeholders regarding the long-term SGP goals, based on the assumption that comprehensive and objective communication minimizes the risks of failures during the management process. Collective subject discourse (CSD) was used to develop a qualification metric of the constitutive elements of the organizational mission statements, enabling it to be identified whether the Brazilian companies, grouped into different economic sectors, are smoothing, concealing, or omitting the construct formed by the SGP components in their mission statements. This study investigates the presence or not of the SGP components in the collective discourse of mission statements of 220 large Brazilian companies. Most of the companies analyzed in the sample do not include SGP in their mission statements and those that do discuss it with discursive vagueness, lacking clarity in their disclosure of the components. For the academia, this finding contributes to understanding the constituent components of the mission statements of large Brazilian companies. For organizations, the findings indicate the need to reflect on the content to be used in the formulation of their mission statements.

The relevance of corporate environmental, social, and governance performance (ESG) has increased significantly during the last few years. The airline industry is susceptible to such environmental, social, and governance practices, which explains its selection for the analysis purposes in this study. This paper analyzes the influence of the Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Index and its constituent factors on environmental, social, and governance performance variables in a sample of leading airline companies worldwide with historical data available from 2013 to 2019. The study required analyzing panel data using a panel-corrected standard error model. The results suggest that airlines headquartered in countries with ideal conditions for operating businesses and outstanding information and communication technology readiness show excellent environmental, social, and governance performance. However, the findings also imply that airline companies headquartered in countries with heavy government influence on the airline industry sector measured by the government prioritization of the domestic travel and tourism sector have poor environmental, social, and governance performance. Similarly, the analysis provided evidence that countries well positioned to join national air service arrangements and subscribe to regional trade agreements have airline companies with excellent environmental, social, and governance performance metrics. The reported results can be priceless for policymakers designing national travel and tourism policies to enhance domestic airline firms’ environmental, social, and governance performance.

Boldo leaves (Boldo folium, from Peumus boldus Mol.) are very frequently used as a medicinal herb in Chile and are exported to many countries to be used in teas or as extracts included in herbal remedies, primarily as an aid to digestion and as a mild sedative. Scientific support for these uses is scanty, and boldine, an alkaloid viewed as characteristic of the tree and present in high concentration in the bark, is extracted by specialized companies and sold as the supposed main active constituent. Consequently, boldine has been the subject of a considerable number of research papers, while some of the other alkaloids present to a greater extent in the leaves have been relatively neglected except when found in large amounts in other species. These studies range from assays of antioxidant activity to anti-inflammatory, antineoplastic and other medical applications. The essential oil, usually containing a large percentage of the toxic ascaridole, was once used as a vermifuge and is now regarded with caution, but is still of interest as a possible natural insecticide, fungicide, antiparasitic and herbicide. The last decade has seen an explosive increase in papers pointing to possible uses of boldo and its constituents. This review attempts to bring these publications together in a comprehensive way with the purpose of stimulating and orienting further research into the useful properties of this Chilean endemic tree.

Purpose This study aims to intend toward the measurement of corporate governance to identify its maturity levels within Omani public listed companies and also propose to identify whether corporate governance maturity (CGM) levels vary significantly between sectors or not. CGM is an innovation in the field of corporate governance, which assists organizations in achieving their objectives and satisfying shareholders. Design/methodology/approach This study used descriptive cross-sectional survey design. Data are collected by the internet-based tool and analyzed via SPSS. Findings This study found that corporate governance is measurable and can be measured to the levels of maturity. Moreover, this study identified that CGM does not differ among different sectors. From a total of 107 organizations, none of the organizations falls under the forming level and mature level. However, majority of organizations falls under normalized level followed by developing and established levels of maturity. Practical implications This study integrates significant empirical research and literature to broaden the potentials of CGM. This study provides a framework along with a calculation tool, which can be used by organizations, regulators and policymakers. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, the maturity levels of Omani organizations are never being measured before. Moreover, past studies demonstrate single constituent relationship with CGM and not all four. Therefore, this study is distinctive from others by testing all four major components or constituents toward CGM.

This study estimates Malmquist index of total factor productivity change of 14 major general insurers in India over the period 2009–10 to 2016–17 over 7 annual windows. The study decomposes total factor productivity index into its constituent components, using several approaches including Färe et al. (1989, Productivity Developments in Swedish Hospitals: A Malmquist Output Index Approach. Carbondale: Department of Economics, Southern Illinois University; 1992, Journal of Productivity Analysis 3(1): 85–101), Färe et al. (1994, American Economic Review 84(1): 66–83), Ray and Desli (1997, American Economic Review 87(5): 1033–39) and Wheelock and Wilson (1999, Journal of Money, Credit and Banking 31(2): 212–23). Furthermore, the study uses bootstrap data envelopment analysis (DEA) method to obtain bias-corrected point and interval estimates of Malmquist index and its components. Finally, the study makes a comparison of productivity performance between public and private sector insurers. The results indicate a modest growth in total factor productivity during the period contributed mainly by efficiency changes. The private sector insurers performed better than the public sector in terms of productivity growth. The variations in productivity performance indicate that insurer scale of activity can affect their performance. JEL Classification: G-23, C-61, D-21

This paper examines the relation between directors’ absence in board meetings as an indicator of directors’ busyness with possible determinants of director absence on the constituent companies of FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI index from 2005 to 2008. This study has found board size as the strongest determinant of directors’ absence. As the size grows, there is higher probability of directors to be absent from board meetings. This study found a board size of 9 and less as an optimum board size. We also found that the more independent directors on the board, the less absence they made. The results showed that the number of multiple directorships a director holds, number of annual meetings, age, and ethnicity of the director are not significant determinants.

This paper studies whether social media personal branding (PB) improves a job candidate’s labor market performance in the context of executive employment and compensation. We focus on executives employed by Standard & Poor’s 500 constituent companies from 2010 to 2013 and evaluate their PB on social media by analyzing their Twitter accounts. To disentangle the effect of PB from that of personality traits, we exploit a (positive) shock to the effectiveness of PB caused by a series of technology upgrades by Twitter. Estimations from a two-sided matching model suggest that social media PB benefits executive candidates in job markets. This paper contributes to the literature by initiating the study of the emerging phenomenon of social media PB and testing its effect on job market performance.

In this article, the authors examine the relationship between organizational strategy and the approach taken to conflict management using a large-scale survey of companies in Wales, a constituent part of the United Kingdom. They focus on conflicts among employees, an under-researched form of conflict, to examine which types of organizations adopt a more strategic approach to conflict management that aligns with broader HR objectives. They find that organizations with a unitarist, and often anti-union, orientation are more likely to make strategic choices about how they address conflict. Equally, the authors argue that some evidence suggests that organizations that take high-road approaches to HR are more likely to take an intentional approach to how they address conflict.

Subject. The article addresses the EV/EBITDA and EV/DACF ratios of the twenty five largest public oil and gas corporations from 2008 to 2018. Objectives. The purpose is to identify key trends in the value of EV/EBITDA and EV/DACF ratios of biggest public oil and gas corporations, determine factors resulted in the changes over the studied period, and establish the applicability of these multipliers for assessing the business value within the industry. Methods. I apply methods of comparative and financial-economic analysis, and generalization of consolidated financial statements data. Results. The study revealed that EV/EBITDA and EV/DACF multiples are acceptable for valuing oil and gas companies. The EV level depends on profitability, proved reserves, and a country factor. It is required to adjust EBITDA for information on impairment, revaluation and write-off for assets that are reported separately from depreciation, depletion and amortization costs, as well as for income or expenses arising after the sale of fixed assets and as a result of effective court decisions or settlement agreements. It is advisable to adjust DACF for income, expenses and changes in assets and liabilities, which are caused by events that are unusual for oil and gas companies. Conclusions. The application of EV/EBITDA and EV/DACF multiples requires a detailed analysis and, if necessary, adjustments of their constituent components. However, they are quite relevant in the context of declining profitability and growing debt burden in the stock exchange sector of the global oil and gas industry.

Full textAbstract:
This empirical study examines the intellectual capital (IC) performance of Hong Kong companies and its association with business performance. Data were collected from constituent companies of the Hang Seng Index listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (2005–2008). An IC measurement, Value Added Intellectual Coefficient (VAICTM), was utilised to evaluate the IC investment of the companies. Four accounting ratios: market-to-book value (MB), return on assets (ROA), asset turnover (ATO) and return on equity (ROE) were used as the indicators of business performance. Regression analyses were conducted to test the ability of IC and its components in order to explain the variance in business performance measures. No conclusive evidence was found to support the associations between VAICTM as an aggregate measure and the four financial indicators. However, components of VAICTM were found to predict a substantial variance in business performance. Capital Employed Efficiency (CEE) was found to be a key factor in predicting business financial performance. Structural Capital Efficiency (SCE) was found to have a significant effect on businesses' market valuation, as measured by MB, and on profitability, as measured by ROE. Negative correlations were found between Human Capital Efficiency (HCE) and the financial indicators. The findings indicate a gap between the traditional accounting perspective and the value creation perspective, which is central to the VAICTM methodology in measuring IC. It is believed that the findings of this research provide insights for business stakeholders of Hong Kong companies in utilising IC, particularly the noted impact of structural capital. While our findings indicate the importance of IC for corporations, as shown by the significant effect of SCE on ROE, physical and financial assets may still be considered as the key resources in delivering business success.
