Abstract:

Despite 40 years of research, little is known about what moderates the relationship between organizational culture and company financial performance. This quantitative study examined if innovation moderates the relationship between an organization's culture, as measured by the Denison Organizational Culture Survey, and a company's financial performance, as indicated by return on assets (ROA). Understanding if innovation moderates the relationship between organizational culture and ROA could help business leaders foster a culture that maximizes financial performance. Lewin's field theory was the theoretical foundation explaining organizational culture. Denison Consulting provided the archival dataset, which included organizational culture scores and ROA data for 104 publically traded companies. Companies were classified into 5 innovation quintiles. Pearson's correlation, ANOVA, and multiple regression analyses were used to test the hypotheses. The results indicated that ROA did not correlate with Denison's organizational culture dimensions of adaptability, mission, consistency, and involvement; the second highest and second lowest innovation quintiles had greater ROA at high levels of mission and consistency as compared to low levels of mission and consistency; and innovation moderated the relationship between organizational culture and ROA. Enabling companies to maximize their financial performance by adjusting their organizational culture in relationship to their innovation strategies could enable the creation of cutting-edge products and services, thereby generating positive social change.

Abstract:

A Work Project, presented as part of the requirements for the Award of a Masters Degree in Management from the NOVA – School of Business and Economics
In recent years scholars have been developing various theoretical models to measure the effects of corporate social responsibility activities on customer perceptions and on customer-company identification. While significant advances have been made in demonstrating the positive effects of CSR initiatives, little research has been focused on how a structured approach to CSR affects these variables. This study aims to demonstrate the major positive effects of a strategic approach to CSR in comparison to a philanthropic approach, and to provide managers with useful advices for the creation of shared value for the society.

Abstract:

This is a study on the effect of management and CEO stock ownership on company performance. A regression analysis is performed on panel data consisting of a sample of 30 companies listed on OMX Stockholm Mid Cap. A total of 210 and 2520 observations is considered on a yearly and monthly basis, respectively, for seven years (2010-2016). The Hausman test is applied for determining between the fixed effects and random effects regression models. Results show that management relative stock ownership has a significant positive effect on company net income growth and return on assets. The effect is not significant for CEO stock ownership, which is contrary to what commonly has been shown for large companies in previous research. Moreover, alternative methodology is discussed for the benefit of the future researcher. The authors illustrate how the selection of dummy variables can be vital for final model outcomes, and it is thus an important aspect to consider when performing panel data analysis.
I den här studien undersöks hur aktieinnehav hos ledning och den verkställande direktören i ett företag påverkar företagsutvecklingen. Studien genomförs med regressionsanalys på paneldata som består av 30 företag, samtliga noterade på OMX Stockholm Mid Cap. Totalt samlas 210 och 2520 observationer på årsbasis respektive månadsbasis över sju år (2010-2016). Hausman-testet används för att bestämma vilken av fixed effects-modellen och random effects-modellen som ska användas i regressionen. Resultaten visar att relativt aktieinnehav hos ledningen har en positiv signifikant påverkan på ett företags nettoinkomstutveckling och avkastning på tillgångar. Den verkställande direktörens aktieinnehav visas inte vara signifikant, vilket är motsatt till det som generellt har visats för stora företag i tidigare forskning. Regressionerna genomförs även med alternativa metoder, vilka det resoneras kring i en diskussion som bör vara till gagn för vidare forskning. Författarna illustrerar hur val av dummy-variabler kan ha en avgörande betydelse för regressionsanalysen, och att det således är en viktig aspekt att ta hänsyn till när regressioner genomförs på paneldata.

Salehi-Sangari, Ali, and Oskar Hellqvist. "The effects of leveraged recapitalizations in private equity portfolio companies." Thesis, KTH, Fastigheter och byggande, 2014. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:kth:diva-152593.

Full text

Abstract:

This paper examines the way in which leveraged recapitalizations (re-issuance of debt) affect private equity portfolio companies. It therefore analyses this type of "transaction" from qualitative and quantitative perspectives. The qualitative perspective is studied with the help of interviews conducted with investors and with representatives of banks, private equity firms and portfolio companies. The quantitative studies are done by analysing a dataset of financial information from Nordic portfolio companies of private equity firms that have been subject to a recapitalization. The paper begins with a brief history of private equity and leveraged buyouts, and then explains the mechanics of leveraged recapitalizations. This introduction is followed by a theoretical explanation, empirical evidence and analysis. In the qualitative analysis we establish that the involved parties have different opinions on leveraged recapitalizations but they agree that under the right circumstances it can be an advantageous strategy. In the quantitative analysis we establish that it is difficult to draw ceteris paribus conclusions because factors other than the re-leverage can affect the key ratios that we have selected. We then conclude this paper by stating our findings; leveraged recapitalizations can be an effective tool for extracting additional capital or as an IRR enhancer given the right circumstances, but can have a devastating effect if thorough due diligence is not made. Furthermore, it can be an effective last-resort strategy if market conditions are not favourable and the investors demand returns on their investments.

Abstract:

Many entrepreneurial research studies underline implicitly the positive evidence of a connection between the economic success and networks. However, any social relationship which an entrepreneur maintains does not necessarily have positive effects and consequently does not represent a capital to the new established organization. Dysfunctional effects result from the circumstance that the different actors have different, sometimes contrary requirements on networks. The aim of our article is to explore dilemmatic constellations within networks and to enable entrepreneurial founders or consultants to face the related challenges.

Abstract:

This examines the logistic process of a grain trading company, and how logistics affect profits. Trip transit time is the amount of times a shuttle train moves back and forth from an elevator and a destination. In the years prior to the 2013/ 2014 crop year, shuttles moved between elevators and destination nearly 3 times in a given month. When transit time dropped in 2013, this created a unique situation to be examined. It changed how grain trading companies needed to alter strategy to maintain a profit. The decrease in trip transit time affected how rail cars moved, but also altered the price paid for freight. In conclusion, this thesis discovered that strategies on rail cars altered between the years. The strategies created opportunities for grain trading companies to change the structure of profits. This thesis also creates new opportunities for future research.

Abstract:

The research objective of this dissertation is to investigate the impact of institutional arrangements, with respect to vertical integration and cooperation, on competitive advantages within the commercial printing industry, with specific focus on digital printing. This dissertation comprises six research papers, based on four qualitative case studies and a quantitative survey study, all carried out in Sweden in the years 2004-2008.The results show that vertical integration is a way to achieve competitive advantages in the commercial printing industry and is a widely used strategy in Sweden. Being able to contract full service companies is appreciated by customers to printing houses, especially direct customers, due to their need for a supplier of complete solutions for printed matters. Consequently, a vertically integrated company can provide value added services which makes it possible for customers to minimize their organization regarding production and purchasing of printed matters. Other reasons for vertical integration are the need to ensure fast deliveries to customers and having a steady supply of appropriate jobs. Despite the believed strategic importance by the industry, the results show that the level of vertical integration has no significant impact on profitability. Vertical integration is strategically important for digital printing houses in order to develop their business because digital printing allows for fast deliveries, on-demand printing and variable data printing. Despite the commoditization of printed matter, the findings indicate that the industry, in general, focuses on providing a high service level even though it means having to set higher prices. Furthermore, the results point toward that this strategic positioning is beneficial for digital printing houses because they experience a lower degree of competition and a lower price pressure.Vertical integration can, however create inflexibility due to ownership and employment. The findings suggest that cooperation can be used to achieve fast access to valuable resources, such as production equipment and knowledge, and, hence, increase printing houses’ resource flexibility. Even though internal control of resources is regarded as important to be able to satisfy customers’ needs and produce customers’ orders on time, cooperation with partners can create similar strategic effects. Furthermore, cooperation can give cost and flexibility advantages compared to vertical integration by reducing internal need for production capacity and allowing access to complementary resources. Nevertheless, it is common to combine vertical integration with cooperation to create competitive advantages and make a company more flexible and dynamic toward market changes.

Abstract:

In today’s society, there is a growing interest in, and demand for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Reasons for this can be multinational corporations’ increasing influence on world economy as well as scandals revealing horrible working conditions in different industries. In spite of the fact that the demand for CSR is growing, there has always been critics. The most influential critic is Noble Prize winner Milton Friedman, who claims CSR to be a waste of stockholders’ money. However, several articles claim, opposite Friedman, that CSR rather increases a company’s financial performance in the long run. These claims have made us curious about in what way CSR is related to a company’s performance. Moreover, it has led to us wanting to find out how CSR can influence customer perceptions on a product or service offering, and how these influenced perceptions affect company performance.

In order to concretize our problem we have chosen to use the clothing industry as a framework for our study. The choice of industry has its reasons in an increasing public interest in how clothes are manufactured, which is largely because of continuous scandals concerning poor working conditions in the clothing industry.

To find out how CSR can influence customer perceptions and company performance we have studied literature concerning the subject. Furthermore, these theoretical studies have led to us coming up with a model for how CSR can influence customer perceptions and ultimately affect company performance. This model is influenced by Heskett, Jones, Loveman, Sasser and Schlesinger‘s (1994) the Service-Profit Chain as well as by Carroll’s (1991) Pyramid of CSR and Levitt’s (1980) Total Product Concept. We call the model the Value Linking Chain and it depicts how different elements are put into an offer. Furthermore, how this offer is evaluated, both before and after the purchase, by customers and how those evaluations affect the company performance. In order for us to test this model empirically, we have interviewed representatives from companies, customers and non-government organizations.

The analysis indicates that customers are ready to boycott companies that do not behave socially responsible. This has lead to us widening our theoretical scope and revising the Value Linking Chain, which evolved into the CSR-Performance Chain.

In conclusion, CSR can influence customer perceptions on a product or service offering and in the end affect company performance through the links in the CSR-Performance Chain. Furthermore, we have found that companies’ level of CSR must lie on or above customers’ baseline (i.e. minimal acceptable level) in order for them to avoid boycotts, since boycotts affect company performance negatively.

Gynne, (Leppänen) Annaliina. "Effects of English as a Corporate Language on Communication in a Nordic Merged Company." Thesis, Mälardalens högskola, Akademin för utbildning, kultur och kommunikation, 2004. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:mdh:diva-8046.

Abstract:

In the business world facilitation of corporate communication through the use of a single language has become almost a standard procedure. There is little knowledge, however, regarding how working in a language other than the mother tongue affects our thought processes and functionality at work. This study is an attempt to clear some issues around the subject. The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of the corporate language, English, on managers’ communication within the organisation. The target group includes Finnish and Swedish managers working at a Nordic IT corporation, TietoEnator. The study was conducted by combining theoretical material on communication, language and culture with the empirical results of 7 qualitative interviews. The results show us that using a shared corporate language has both advantages and disadvantages. English helps in company internationalisation and in creating a sense of belonging, but also complicates everyday communication. The main disadvantage that English has caused is the lack of social communication between members of different nations in an unofficial level. The main conclusion is that the corporate language is not at all times sufficient fulfil the social needs of the members of the organisation. Through this lack of socialisation it is possible that the functionality of the organisation loses some of its competitive advantage in the business markets.

Abstract:

Digitalization and technological development have created an opportunity to modernize traditional office-based workplaces. The Covid-19 pandemic became a breaking point when forcing companies to work remotely, which led to them being organizationally unprepared. Although several aspects of organizations were affected by this shift, this study focuses on leadership where the aspects of communication, self-leadership, coaching and control are examined. The first aim of this study is to address how leadership within organizations has been affected by this forced transition. The second aim is to provide guidelines on how to lead effectively when working remotely and reduce the negative effects. A qualitative exploratory study with a multi-method research design is done to fulfill the aim and answer the research questions. The study uses a Nordic insurance company as a case company. The qualitative research consists of semi-structured interviews with leaders and followers from the case company as well as leaders from benchmarked companies. The results are supported with quantitative research consisting of a survey towards the case company. The findings show that all examined aspects are affected, where the difficulties in digital communication become the foundation to the majority of negative effects and necessary changes. Leaders within the case company adapt to these changes differently depending on their leadership style, type of lead team and awareness of the effects. It is concluded that leaders have to devote more time to their followers when leading remotely to fulfill the needs of their followers.
Digitalisering och teknisk utveckling har möjliggjort för modernisering av det traditionella arbetsklimatet. Covid-19 pandemin blev en brytpunkt för skiftet till hemarbete genom att tvinga företag att arbeta hemifrån, vilket ledde till att företagen var organisatoriskt oförberedda. Även om flera aspekter av företag påverkades av detta skifte så fokuserar denna studie på att undersöka hur ledarskap påverkades av skiftet till hemarbete, där kommunikation, självledarskap, coaching och kontroll är fokuserade på. Syftet med denna studie är således första att adressera hur ledarskap har påverkats av skiftet från kontorsarbete till hemarbete. Vidare är syftet att förse företag med riktlinjer kring hur man ska leda medarbetare på ett effektivt sätt vid hemarbete. För att uppfylla syftet och svara på forskningsfrågorna så är denna kvalitativa och explorativa studie genomförd. Studien använder sig av ett nordiskt försäkringsbolag som fallföretag. Den kvalitativa studien innefattar semi-strukturerade intervjuer med ledare och medarbetare från fallföretaget samt intervjuer med ledare från andra företag. Resultaten är uppbackade med en kvantitativ delstudie i form av en enkät riktad mot ledare och medarbetare från fallföretaget.Resultaten visar att alla undersökta aspekterna av ledarskap påverkas av hemarbete där svårigheten med kommunikationen ligger till grund för majoriteten av negativa effekter. Resultaten visar också att ledare hanterar dessa effekter olika beroende på deras ledarskapsstil, vilken typ av grupp de leder och till vilken grad de är medvetna om effekterna. Det är sammanfattat ledare måste ägna mer tid till deras följare när dem arbetar hemma för att uppfylla behoven som uppkommer.

Full text

Abstract:

While fringe benefits create value in the employer-employee relationship, implicitly subsidized fringe ben-efits risk incurring economic deadweight losses. An increasingly common fringe benefit in Europe is the company car. Literature has showed how fringe benefits should be taxed for tax neutrality yet current taxations of fringe benefits cars in Europe have been found to cause significant deadweight losses. The prevalence of fringe benefits cars in Europe generally and Sweden specifically renders it relevant to in-vestigate how the taxation of fringe benefits cars affect economic welfare. Fringe benefits cars are also of interest for policy evaluations, both in their provision as fringe benefits in terms of equity as well as a means of transportation and climate change mitigation. Sweden has committed to ambitious GHG emission policy goals which directly relates the composition of the Swedish (company) car fleet. The thesis methodology was based on a Dutch framework for welfare equations and statistical methods such as regression analysis. Interviews were conducted with industry professionals to gain market insights and perspectives in the case of company cars. A deadweight loss was found as SEK 2 300 per fringe benefits car and the total market deadweight loss was estimated to SEK 186 million. The automobile market gives rise to many externalities and some fringe benefits car related were quantified. Internalizing a conservative externality estimate yields additional deadweight losses at SEK 425 per fringe benefits car. Many socioeconomic factors were found to be correlated with car expenditure, most of them positively: household income, age and a managerial like position. Gender as in female had a negative effect on car expenditure. The current taxation of fringe benefits cars (2014) is potentially problematic for Swedish policy goals concerning traffic safety, climate change and gender equity for three reasons. The current taxation of fringe benefits cars: (1) might have negative safety implications from a system perspective on traffic safety, (2) does not necessarily promote more environmental friendly cars on average and (3) is not gender neutral as women as a group has a statistically lower preference for expensive cars.
Löneförmåner kan skapa värde i relationen mellan arbetsgivare och anställda men riskerar genom skattein-ducerade implicita prisreduktioner att ge upphov till ekonomiska dödviktsförluster. En vanlig och allt vikti-gare löneförmån i Europa är förmånsbilen. Litteraturen har visat hur löneförmåner kan beskattas samtidigt som beskattningen av förmånsbilar i Europa har gett upphov till just sådana ekonomiska dödviktsförluster. Den stora andelen förmånsbilar i Europa generellt och Sverige specifikt gör det relevant att undersöka hur den nuvarande beskattningen av förmånsbilar (2014) påverkar den ekonomiska välfärden. Förmånsbilar är även av intresse för policyutvärdering, både i egenskap av löneförmån gällande jämställdhet och i egen-skap av transportmedel med dess miljöpåverkan. Sverige har förbundit sig till ambitiösa utsläppsmål av växthusgaser vilket direkt relaterar till den svenska (förmåns)bilflottans komposition. Metoden i denna studie grundade sig främst på ett holländskt ramverk för välfärdsberäkning och statis-tiska analysmetoder såsom regressionsanalys. Intervjuer har hållits med nyckelpersoner verksamma inom billeasing. Det observerades en dödviktsförlust på 2 300 SEK per förmånsbil med en total marknadsdödvik-tsförlust beräknas till 186 miljoner SEK. Marknaden för bilar ger upphov till många marknadsexternaliteter varav vissa relaterade till förmånsbilar kvantifierades i denna studie. Internaliseras ett konservativt estimat fås ytterligare dödviktsförluster av 425 SEK per förmånsbil. Flera socioekonomiska faktorer påverkade bilutgifter, de flesta hade en positiv effekt: hushållsinkomst, ålder och en chefsliknande position. Att vara kvinna påverkade däremot bilutgifter negativt. Den nuvarande beskattningen av förmånsbilar (2014) kan problematiseras av tre anledningar relaterade till svenska policymål för trafiksäkerhet, klimatförändringar och jämställdhet. Den nuvarande beskattningen av förmånsbilar: (1) kan ge upphov till negativa olyck-sexternaliteter utifrån ett systemperspektiv på säkerhet, (2) ger inte nödvändigtvis mer miljövänliga bilar i genomsnitt och (3) är inte könsneutral då kvinnor har en statistiskt lägre preferens för dyra bilar.

Abstract:

The Johannesburg’s Alternative Exchange (JSE’s Altx) is a public equity exchange for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with high growth potential. It was established with the main objective to mentor the firms, provide them with the necessary support and management capacity building so as to grow them into large companies that will eventually list on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) main board. This study sought to evaluate the effects of capital structure on company performance of small cap companies listed on the AltX of the JSE. The results from this may be used as proxy for general SME’s in South Africa. A quantitative research was used to determine the relationship between the independent variables (capital structure variables of trade finance, long-term debt and short-term debt) and the dependent variable (financial performance which was measured using: 1. return on assets (ROA); 2. return on equity (ROE); and 3. gross profit (GP) margin). The study used secondary data from financial reports of small cap SMEs listed on the JSE’s AltX. The data collected from these financial reports was analysed and discussed using descriptive statistics. Inferential analysis was undertaken using correlation tests and multiple regression analysis. The study finds the following: trade credit is the most prevalent capital source used by small cap firms but has no statistically significant effect on the company’s performance. Short-term debt is second most used financing mechanism and has a significant effect on ROE. On the other hand, long-term debt was the least used source of capital by the firms but in terms of financial performance, it had a significant effect on the ROA. Results also showed that firm size has a positive effect on all the performance variables of ROA, ROE and GP margin. It was also confirmed that trade credit, short-term debt and long-term debt are expensive financing mechanisms as the results showed inverse relationships with financial performance. Hence, an increase in either trade credit, short-term or long-term debts by the small cap SMEs leads to a decrease in their profitability.

Abstract:

The aim of this thesis is to illustrate how cultural differences influence start-up companies established by young non-Europeans and how they overcome this. When immigrants want to start a business in a foreign country they have to overcome a number of challenges. One of the challenges is the difference in cultures between their country of origin and the country where they want to start their business. A culture includes what distinguishes members of one group of people from another. The differences in culture can have either positive or negative impacts on the entrepreneurial decisions of an immigrant entrepreneur.The data for this study was collected through exploratory qualitative method using inductive approach. The findings of this study suggest that the main driving forces behind immigrant entrepreneurs are either “pull” or “push” factors, like being pushed by the exiting circumstances for self-employment, fulfillment of one’s ambition, passion and being their own boss. The respondents of the study claimed that culture affects different aspects of their business, like development of promotional mix, marketing strategy, pricing strategy, language, product design to consumer level interaction.The important thing to bear in mind when an entrepreneur starts up their business in foreign land is how to tackle the cultural differences by learning to respect the other culture and their host language and by learning host countries language competitive advantage can arise.Keywords: Immigrant entrepreneurship, Entrepreneurship, Cultural differences, Self-employment, start-up.

ABSTRACT

Title:

The Effect of Social Relationships on Company Internationalization

Course:

Master’s level Thesis (EFO705) in International Business and Entrepreneurship 10 Swedish credit points (15 ECTS)

Authors:

Hanney Al-Qaisi & Bhupesh Reddy Kurre

Tutor:

Leif Linnskog

Problem:

How did social relationships affect the internationalization of a German IVF centre to the UAE? Using this case example, the thesis will be focused on studying the different social factors that could have affected the internationalization process.

Purpose:

The aim of this thesis was to describe the way that a local company in Germany went through internationalization to become a successfulmultinational company. We wanted to find out if there were any social factors that influenced the company. In particular, we wanted to investigate whether there were any entrepreneurial activities or barriers that influenced the company’s internationalisation and why it chose to open its subsidiary in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which is far from Germany.

Methods:

This thesis is based on a qualitative methodology for gathering and analysis of the data around the internationalization of the German company.Qualitative methods are the best techniques for looking into social relationships and whether they have an effect on the internationalization process.

Theories:

Uppsala-Model; Network Theory; Social, Business & Professional Relationships and International Entrepreneurship

Target Group:

This research provides knowledge and information to entrepreneurs businessowners, managers, general readers, and academics who would like to understand the influence of social relationships on internationalization.

Conclusion:

Having searched through the published literature for relevant articles on the internationalization process, social relationships and entrepreneurial activities, we were able to inform our thesis with a theoretical framework for analyzing social relationships and internationalization. Social relationships do indeed have an influence on the internationalization process, and using our case example, it was possible to outline the patterns and nature of the influence. The theories (and patterns) are interlinked, and could be related in practical terms to the establishment of a satellite fertility centre in the UAE by a German head company.

This study investigates the effects that various ownership structures have on company performance. It is assumed that the ownership structure of the firm dictates the manner in which the firm monitors its managers. It is further assumed that the objective of the firm is to maximise shareholder wealth. The study therefore analyses which ownership structure provides shareholders with the greatest returns. Such a system would add the most to an economy's efficiency. It was concluded that of the three systems identified, not one system provided shareholders with a return significantly different from the others. The study added to the current South African debate as to whether or not the concentration of economic power detracts from the country's economic efficiency. Statistical evidence proves that companies owned by any of the large South African groupings are no less productive than companies otherwise owned.

We hope the result we found can make good suggestion on the development of brand strategy in the future. This study shows： 1.Event study：the results show that there has been little difference for Abnormal Returns and Cumulative Average Abnormal Returns for the first three years after they have their own brands. It means that the investors did not value the brand highly through the stock price. 2.Profit analysis：the results of the sampled companies show that the profit grows apparently two years after they have their own brand, which means adapting brand strategy for products has positive effect.

After the financial liberalization, the financial industry in Taiwan is facing a crisis due to the increased competition environment. Therefore, the government began to control new banks’ entering and encouraged financial consolidation. In Taiwan, there are 16 Financial Holding Companies（FHC）have been established successively since the pass of FHC Act in 2001. Structural reorganization in the financial industry during the last few decades reveal why it is important to study the effect of FHC affiliation on banks. Hence, this study compares the credit rating between FHC affiliated banks and independent banks by employing Taiwan bank and FHC data. Next, we try to investigate whether banks obtain better credit ratings when they are affiliated with FHCs. Third, we try to examine whether FHC credit rating affect FHC affiliated bank credit ratings. We use ordinary least squares and ordered probit model to investigate these issues and the period is from 1997 to 2011. Besides, to exclude other factors affecting bank credit ratings, we include banks’ financial variables and corporate governance variables to control for other determinants of bank credit ratings. The results include, first, financial performance affect bank credit ratings. We find banks with higher capital ratio, profitability, liquidity, and larger size obtain TRC’s better credit ratings. Also, banks with higher non-performing loans obtain worse credit ratings. Second, corporate governance variables exert effects on bank credit ratings. Banks with higher foreign shareholder ownership obtain better rating grades. Third, banks obtain better credit ratings when they are affiliated with a FHC, suggesting FHC organization make bank risk reduce and TRC assigns a better credit rating. That is, FHC affiliated banks obtain a better credit rating than independent banks. Fourth, FHCs’ credit ratings affect bank credit ratings, i.e., the higher FHCs’ credit ratings, the better FHC affiliated bank credit ratings.

Since China's programme of reform and opening up began in 1978, China has attracted a large amount of foreign direct investment. It has become the world’s major production base and global market in a period of time. With the increasing proportion of investment in China for Taiwan manufacturers, the effects of outward foreign direct investment (outward FDI) in China have been argued widely. Taiwan is limited by geographical constraints and lacks of natural resources, so labor productivity is an important economic growth factor. Besides, we separate manufacturing firms into high technology firms and traditional firms. The purpose of this study is to discuss the effects outward FDI on home-company productivity. Our samples includes 608 listed manufacturing firms in Taiwan that FDI in China over the time period 2000-2015. According to our results we find that manufacturing firms FDI in China will indeed affect home-company productivity. FDI in China will lead to decrease home-company productivity. If we do not want it to happen, government should launch appropriate policies and help manufacturing firms doing industrial transformation and upgrading. Firms also work toward producing more competitive products. Then, we can enhance our competitiveness of products in the global market and increase economic growth.

This study investigates the effects of mergers activity on firm employment and employees’ wages in Taiwan, based on 33 mergers between listed and OTC firms for the period 2002 to 2014. First, the results indicate that merger activity has a positive and significant impact on employment, but doesn’t have a significant impact on average employee pay. Second, firms that experience related mergers activity have a positive and significant impact on employment, but doesn’t have a significant impact on average employee pay. Finally, the results show that the impact on employment and average employee pay is insignificant if the acquiring firms paid the transaction amount by cash. This study suggests that the motivation behind mergers is not to adjust employment. Firms in Taiwan do not need to restructure employment by taking merger strategies.

If sellers can make good use of product display and find out a better combination, they can help consumers make their choice and further stimulate sales volume. This research adopts three variables: shelf space, POP advertising and one control variable: holidays, to discuss the impact of merchandise display and exhibit skills on sales volume, looking for effective merchandise display strategy. The research designs eight displays and presents two of them in a real store every day, recording the actual sales data. There are 64 sales data in 32 days. After collecting the data, we then statistically analyzed the data by using t t-test and multiple regression analysis. We found that: 1. Merchandise display with island-shelf space has a positive relation with sales volume. Using island-shelf space to display products can promote sales volume. 2. Apparel sales do not have an obvious effect on sales volume; a sumptuous way of display does not influence sales volume. 3. Merchandise display with POP advertising also has a positive relation with sales volume. Adopting POP advertising to draw consumers’ attention can advance sales volume. 4. island-shelf space, apparel sales, and POP advertising are the best combination for merchandise display, and its sales volume is obviously higher than other display combinations. Over all, merchandise display has a certain influence on consumers.

Waste results in material loss and cascades to production processes, affecting a company’s profitability. This research sought to answer to what extent the implementation of a solid waste management protocol in a flexible packaging company (FPC) improves profitability. The research focused on reducing waste from the gravure printing process, which was analysed using a Lean Six Sigma tool, DMAIC, that has been shown to increase productivity, reduce cost, reduce defects and standardise operations. Processes were implemented to ensure that quality substrate was input at the correct levels and transformed efficiently into sellable product. Additionally, new protocols were employed to control and manage waste, further increasing the FPC’s savings. These modifications reduced waiting down time by 78%, rework by 53%, and job-specific waste by 6%, which translated into a 17% improvement in profit on average. Thus, the research effectively demonstrates that a waste management protocol increases the profitability of a FPC.

Researchers in strategic management and organizational theory have produced considerable evidence that top executives inject a great deal of themselves – their experiences, preferences, and dispositions – into their decisions and leadership behaviors.Prior research has generated a wealth of insights about how executive characteristics are manifested in organizational outcomes, almost no attention has been devoted to one of the most vivid qualities observed in some CEO: extreme narcissism.we argue that narcissism in CEO is positively related to strategic dynamism and grandiosity, and it engenders extreme.Hypotheses are tested cross-sectionally using the data of 677 managers in Taiwan’s listed companies, relying on four unobtrusive indicators of CEO narcissism. These indicators, which come from multiple sources, strongly cohere and allow us to develop a multi-item CEO narcissism index. We find considerable support for our hypotheses, indicating that CEO vary in how narcissistic they are, and that these differences affect important organizational outcomes. We try to conclude the paper by suggesting future research on CEO narcissism. Regarding the moderating effects of internal monitoring on the relationship between CEO narcissism and strategy，only blockholders ownership can moderate the relationship

Abstract Today Business management has confronted more severe challenge than before. Facing the uncertainties of market and the product life cycle shorten constantly, all speed up the studies on new products development in order to improve the competitiveness of enterprises. Besides, from the literature review, we found the discussion of the successful factors of new product development in the academia is never cut off. A part of the important discovery is that Kahn (1994, 1996, 1997) pointed out that “Interdepartmental Collaboration” influences the performance of new product development significantly. For the further investigate into the impact of “Interdepartmental Collaboration” on the performance of new product development, this study conceptualized the “Interdepartmental Collaboration” as “Mutual Understanding” and “Resource Sharing” to analysis the discrepancy of impact on the performance of new product development. In addition, aim to the importance of time to market for new product, lot of firms invested plenty resources to formulate a suitable Products Data Management (PDM) system. But few research in the effects of PDM systems on “Interdepartmental Collaboration”. Under the trend toward globalization today, this topic has already become more and more important. This study is base on both contingency theory and sociotechnical theory v to develop our research model and conduct multiple case studies at two companies. Base on our research design, one target company comes from information/electronic industry and another one comes from traditional manufacturing industry. Inclusion of the successful factors of PDM implementation as to the impact on interdepartmental collaboration and new product development is our main purpose. These cases data gathered will yield the rich result of interdisciplinary and continue to enhance the cumulative tradition in MIS field.

Due to the growing trend of the world becoming a global village, the country has been greatly affected by the world’s knowledge economy. Add to that near-arrival of the micro generation, companies are facing not only fierce competition with local corporations, but also the challenge of low-cost labor. Companies are unable to gain a reasonable profit in the contractual industry, thus forcing them to change from the traditional contractual management model into one that emphasizes brand, patents, skill, innovation, and intangible assets. With the new model, companies are able to differentiate themselves from their competitors and gain competitive advantage in the industry. As the knowledge economy is vastly developing, many scholars have pointed out that future global competitiveness will be focused on the “High-Technology Industry”, of which the key success factor lies in technology and innovation. This paper selects two objects as the measures for the technology and innovation factors of High-Tech Industry: one is Research and Development (R&D) expenditures, and the other is number of patents. However, the end goal of a company’s operations is always profits, thus this paper uses company earnings as a measure of a company’s success, hoping to use analytical models to study the collated R&D and patent related data. This paper aims to find out if the numbers of patents and R&D expenditures have positive or negative effects on company earnings.

Due to financial liberalization, internationalization and conglomeration of financial institutions in recent years, conglomerated merger and acquisition (M&A) becomes the worldwide tendency. Some countries have passed the law to help financial institutions to promote their competitiveness. For example, the United States has passed Financial Service Modernization Act in 1999, and Japan has passed The Reorganization of Financial Holding Company Act in 1997. To enable Taiwan’s financial institutions to compete with foreign financial institutions after joining WTO, and to handle Taiwan’s financial competitive environment, the government has passed the M&A Act and Financial Holding Company Act in 1999 and in 2001 respectively. If such financial reformation can improve operation performance of Taiwan’s financial industry, it’s deserved to go deep into studying. So the main objective of this study is to investigate the wealth and risk effects of Financial Holding Company Act on Taiwan’s financial industry, and an event study methodology with multivariate regression model is used. This study provides following several points mainly: Synergy of banks is not obvious, while security companies maybe can benefit from the legislation. Additionally, large financial institutions cannot necessarily benefit more from such financial reformation Act.
