Introduction: This paper empirically examines the impact of degree of operating leverage (DOL) and degree of financial leverage (DFL) to firm performance by using size as control variable. Firm performances used are return on equity (ROE) and market to book ratio (MTB).Methods: Statistical tool used is pooled regression while sample used is all Indonesian manufacturing firms listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2009-2013.Results: The findings revealed that high fixed asset firms pose higher DOL compared to those of lower ones; and highly financial leveraged firms pose significantly higher DFL compared to those of lower financial leveraged ones. Further, both DOL and DFL impacting ROE in negative manner but only DOL is statistically significant, while all variables (DOL, DFL and Size) impacting MTB in negative manner but only size is statistically significant.Conclusion and suggestion: The finding shows that Indonesian stock market investors do not regard risks as important elements in making investment decisions. The findings, however, pose a quite low R squared value of 1.39% for ROE and 2.4% for MTB. This means only those percentage of ROE and MTB can be explained from the variables used in this research. Thus, the author encourge more variables should be included in the future research, including macro economic variables, as it is one of the key component in firm performance.

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] [1] NEW CLASSIFICATIONS FOR CHAIRMEN OF THE BOARD -- I DID IT MY WAY. In this paper I determine whether a new classification of chairmen (former CEOs) should be added to the traditional current CEO and independent categories. I examine the impact the three categories of chairmen have on firm performance and whether CEO compensation differs between the three categories. If firms with chairmen who are former CEOs have significantly different firm performance or CEO compensation than the other two groups, a third category of chairmen (former CEOs) should be used in future research. The findings shed light on the value of having former CEOs control the board, and should influence the results of studies using chairmen as a control variable. I find that chairmen who are former CEOs are significantly different than current CEOs and independent chairman, and should be separated into their own category. Firms with chairmen who are former CEOs have highest firm performance. These firms also pay less in CEO compensation than firms with current CEOs/chairmen but more than firms with independent chairmen. [2] A TEMP IN THE CORNER OFFICE : THE IMPACT OF INTERIM CEOS ON FIRM PERFORMANCE. This paper examines the impact an interim CEO's previous experience and tenure length have on accounting- and market-based firm performance. I also examine the number of significant changes an interim CEO makes to the firm and the impact of those changes. I find that the prior experience an interim CEO has does not have a significant impact on firm performance. Interim CEOs are significantly less likely to make major changes to the firm than their predecessors; however, some of the changes they make have a significant impact on firm performance.

The core aim of this study is to examine the relationship between board characteristics and the firm performance of non-financial listed Kuwaiti firms. To achieve the objectives of the study, the data were collected from a sample of 136 companies for the financial year 2009. Variables such as CEO duality, COE tenure, audit committee size, board size and board composition were considered as predictors of the firm performance that was measured employing the return on assets (ROA). By contrast, the effects of CEO tenure and leverage on firm performance were found to be negative and significant at the chosen level of significance. To test the hypotheses of the study, multiple linear regression analysis using SPSS 18.0 was utilized. Using the firm size and leverage as a control variable, the findings of the study support the positive effects of CEO duality and audit committee size on ROA. Other findings of the study were discussed in the discussion section and some other future study directions were provided.

The components of corporate governance are measured by board size, board meeting, audit committee members, directors remuneration and non executive directors and the cash holding is measured with the log of average cash and size is taken as control variable for the control effect on the dependent variables.
