This research used two models developed by Edward I. Altman (Model Z-Score) and Christine V. Zavgren (Logit Model). The result of this research is, generally, the financial conditions of the food and beverages companies are in bad conditions.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to fill a gap in the management systems (MSs) field by addressing whether the implementation of an integrated management system (IMS) and the integration level of its elements bring benefits and/or challenges to companies and whether these are related to corporate financial performance (CFP). Design/methodology/approach Drawing on a Spanish sample of 76 organizations with at least an environmental and a quality MS, the authors perform a partial least squares (PLS) analysis. Findings The results showed evidence of a positive relationship of the integration benefits with respect to the integration level of MS documentation and the integration level of MS procedures that overweights the negative significant effect of difficulties of integration in relation to the integration level of MS documentation and the integration level of MS procedures. The authors also found new evidence on this topic, related to a positive significant relationship between the integration level of MS procedures and CFP that overweights the negative significant effect of integration level of MS documentation on CFP. Research limitations/implications This study used cross-sectional data from interviewees who are Catalan managers. Furthermore, the mail survey was answered in 2010 at the beginning of the economic crisis from which results should be taken with caution given that the situation might have changed due to the continuation of the Spanish economic crisis. Practical implications The findings could allow companies’ managers to understand the extent to which the integration of quality management practices and environmental management practices influences some of the most relevant firms’ financial performance dimensions. Originality/value As far as the authors know, there are not empirical studies that address the relationship of IMS with a measure of performance such as CFP.

The aim of this paper is to show the relationship between corporate governance and bank financial performance during economic crisis. In other words, a stakeholder governance model is developed in order to test the instrumental stakeholder theory during economic crisis. It is found that the average return on equity for the group of banks that use stakeholder governance model is approximately 70% higher than the group of banks that use stockholder governance model in Turkey during the economic crisis period (2007-2009). These findings show the importance of stakeholder governance model during the economic crisis. In other words, it is found that banks immunized themselves against the effects of economic crisis in terms of their financial performance

The purpose of this study is the accounting evaluation of Greek municipalities after the implementation of the Kallikratis program in the period of the economic crisis in Greece (2011 and onwards). To examine the success of the Kallikratis program in a difficult era for Greece we examine public accounting data for several accounting measures for the Greek municipalities; also we try to reveal if any municipalities’ geographical area gained better performance under these circumstances. The results of this study showed that with the Kallikratis program, several municipalities, apart of new increased responsibilities in the post-Kallikratis period and with reduced state financial support, managed to achieve better results with increased their cash and cash equivalents, their securities and decreased their short-term debt. Last, according to the geographical area, these mandatory municipal mergers were more beneficial for some municipalities than to others, with better financial performance, limiting its obligations and improving its net position, thus providing us new insights to local development for Greece.

In this particular case the researcher observed the period of the economic crisis of 2008 as the subject year. The second indicator is the basic factor in the form of financial performance which is a controlling factor on the performance of Islamic bank financing. The result of this research explained that the external and internal factors in the decision-making of Islamic banks allocating funds to the public under conditions of economic crisis is influenced by inflation, deposits and net performing financing. The high inflationrate will increase the Islamic bank financing. The impact inflicted by the rising inflation is extra fund for financial needs that must be spent by the Islamic bank due to customers requiring additional funding to support their business operations. Other indicators, the more public funds are collected, hence can be used in distributing the Islamic bank financing. The other indicator is, when more people are taking bad loans during the crisis. The Islamic bank constantly doing the distribution of funding. Those effects occurred because in overcoming the risk of bad loans, the Islamic bank undertakes diversification and supervision toward the disbursed financing. With such undertaking will make the Islamic bank become more selective in determining the financing on public.

Dalam penelitian ini, indikator yang menjadi pertimbangan bank syariah dalam pembiayaan kepada masyakarat adalah kondisi perekonomian sebagai faktor eksternal, dalam hal ini peneliti mengamati pada saat kondisi krisis ekonomi tahun 2008 sebagai tahun acuan. Indikator kedua adalah faktor fundamental berupa kinerja keuangan yang merupakan faktor pengendalian kinerja bank syariah terhadap pembiayaan. Hasil penelitian ini menjelaskan bahwa faktor eksternal dan internal bank syariah dalam keputusan menyalurkan dana kepada masyarakat dalam kondisi krisis ekonomi dipengaruhi oleh faktor inflasi, dana pihak ketiga dan net performing financing. Inflasi yang tinggi akan meningkatkan pembiayaan bank syariah. Akibat yang ditimbulkan dari meningkatnya inflasi adalah adanya tambahan dana pembiayaan yang harus dikeluarkan bank syariah dikarenakan nasabah pembiayaan membutuhkan tambahan biaya untuk menunjang kegiatan usahanya. Indikator lainnya, semakin banyak dana masyarakat yang terkumpul maka dapat digunakan bank syariah dalam menyalurkan pembiayaan. Indikator lainnya, ketika kredit macet mengalami kenaikan saat krisis maka bank syariah tetap melakukan penyaluran pembiayaan. Pengaruh tersebut terjadi karena bank syariah dalam mengatasi peningkatan risiko kredit macet melakukan diversifikasi dan pengawasan terhadap pembiayaan yang disalurkan, Dengan adanya upaya tersebut akan membuat bank syariah lebih selektif dalam memutuskan pembiayaan kepada masyarakat. Kata kunci: Ekonomi Makro, Krisis Ekonomi, Kinerja Keuangan, Pembiayaan.

By comparing the average ROA, ROE and NPM before after and before the crisis, the results of testing with descriptive analysis can be stated that ROA, ROE and NPM after the crisis are higher than before the crisis. Thus financial performance after crisis has increased compared to before the crisis.

In recent years and mostly during the last two decades, the decisive role of the environment in the business administration field and business life in general has emerged. In the modern, fast changing, and highly competitive business environment, and even more so in the context of the recent economic crisis, businesses constantly struggle to survive, trying to resolve problems and improve their performance and competitive advantage. Therefore, they must save and invest substantial sums of money to build strong infrastructure, to change procedures, and to produce environmentally friendly products. In view of the above, the current study attempted to examine the impact of environmental strategy on the growth of medium and large enterprises in all sectors in Greece, in a period of economic crisis. The study, carried out in February and March 2018, confirmed the positive correlation and the critical role of environmental strategy in the financial performance of Greek enterprises during this period of economic recession. Both eco-efficient practices and innovative practices lead to the creation of competitive advantage and, thus, to the improvement of the financial performance of a firm.
