Based on the panel data of Chinese listed companies in the information technology industry from 2007 to 2018, this paper uses a fixed-effect model to study the relationship between corporate performance expectation gap and strategic change and analyzes the moderating effect of private benefits of management control and equity incentive. It is found that the greater the gap between corporate performance expectations is, the lower the frequency of corporate mergers and acquisitions is, and the higher the frequency of corporate asset divestment is. Further research finds that private benefits of management control weaken the positive correlation between corporate performance expectation gap and asset stripping frequency. Equity incentive strengthens the negative correlation between corporate performance expectation gap and corporate mergers and acquisitions frequency, and the positive correlation between corporate performance expectation gap and corporate asset stripping frequency. Based on this, when enterprises carry out strategic change, enterprises should choose the direction of strategic change according to the degree of performance expectation gap, and promote the effective realization of strategic change by improving the governance of the board of directors and optimizing the management incentive mechanism.

This paper investigated the impact of M&As on both the acquiring firms' stock prices and corporate performance by using evidence from 20 Taiwanese corporations. Our data suggest that the accounting performance of Taiwanese acquiring firms failed to meet the stock market's expectation of future improvements in the operations of the acquiring firms. The stock market reacted in favor of the announcements of M&As, however, there is a downward change in the acquiring firms' profitability from premerger to postmerger periods. However we do not find any significant correlation between stock returns and the change in accounting performance, which is different from some previous studies.

The Human Capital (HC) is considered a strategic resource intangible for companies whose main features are the ability to be self-generated is to be subjected to the risk of a sudden evaporation in the presence of inadequate management practices. After analyzing the concept of human capital as a subset of the most important intellectual capital, research focuses on the determinants of human capital management on corporate performance. Specifically we will look at the literature that has produced empirical evidence on the impact that the practices of management of human capital, the behaviors of the staff, the remuneration and the formation of the staff have on performance.

This paper aims to critically review the existing literature on the relationship between the Corporate Governance aspect of board gender diversity, and its influence on corporate performance. This review specifically evaluates theoretical and empirical literature related to board gender diversity and corporate performance with an aim of establishing areas of gaps for further research. In particular the paper identifies some of the important theoretical, operational, measurement, contextual and methodological drawbacks in previous researches and literature that restrict generalization of results to particular contexts, sectors and larger populations. Additionally, several research avenues are proposed for in- depth understanding of the relationship between board gender diversity and corporate performance. Finally, the implication of the study on policy, theory and practice are discussed.

The vast majority of mergers and acquisitions rely on synergies in the value creation process. Only a small proportion of mergers and acquisitions are undertaken for non-synergistic reasons. Many mergers and acquisitions never achieve the pre-deal successes that are used to motivate and justify the payment of huge premiums over the stand-alone value of the target companies. Because synergies are used to justify the payment of premiums, executive management, need to fully understand how to evaluate synergies.This model building exercise has enabled the development of an integrated model for the evaluation of synergies that uses the best practices identified from the writings of the authors under review. The model, therefore, provides academics and executive management with a framework for better understanding synergies and some techniques to ensure the realisation of productive synergies in the implementation of mergers and acquisitions.
