Subsequently, the empirical evidence is examined on: (1) the operating performance of the acquirers and the acquired firms before and after the merger, (2) stockholder wealth impact, (3) form of payment used to complete the acquisition, (4) conglomerate mergers, and (5) corporate governance affecting the firm’s ownership and control.

Insight Into

The existing literature has acknowledged the complicated links among external business environments, corporate governance and organisational performance. However, a large void exists in the extant research models of corporate governance, because none have discussed and empirically examined the intervenient effect of the corporate governance mechanism on the external business environments and organisational performance. A thorough review of the literature on corporate governance, external business environments and organisational performance comes to the proposed hypotheses. The indirect effect of external business environments on organisational performance via corporate governance is statistically tested. The research provides empirical evidence that organisational performance is the consequence of both corporate governance and external business environments that is, in turn, the causality of corporate governance. More importantly, it offers insight into the mediating effect of corporate governance in transforming the uncertainty of external business environments into organisational performance. The findings suggest that firms facing uncertainty in external business environments should adopt suitable corporate governance to achieve the best organisational performance.

The current research aimed to develop a model for the governance of Arab family companies and their legislation, which could contribute to the interconnection between the vision and the structures of supervision and control, and reduce conflicts, and duplication of decision-making and performance. This is an attempt to address the problem faced by Arab family companies, namely the ambiguity of roles, overlapping tasks, lack of discipline and reflection of family problems on the performance and growth of the company due to the absence of a structure for the governance of these companies. The research used survey methods and a literature review to gather opinions and make comparisons and simulations, in order to extract indicators and evidence from them. The research concluded with the development of a model of corporate governance that seeks to unify the components of the various models and their indicators within a single model to avoid the defects in these models and benefit from their advantages and make all practices understandable, easy to implement and review. This article summarises the research and its recommendations to address the various challenges discussed.

In this article, we describe the integration of logistics after Mergers and Acquisitions (M&As) of firms within the same industry and, same industry level (i.e. horizontal M&As). First, we present a review of the literature on M&As and conclude that operational issues, in general, and logistics issues, in particular, have received little attention. In parallel with the literature review, we conducted an exploratory survey of Swedish and Finnish manufacturers that had accomplished horizontal M&As during 1995‐2001. The aim of the survey was to find out how management perceives the importance of logistics issues in M&As and also, how difficult it is to realize synergies in logistics. Finally, we present a framework for further studies and the analysis of the interrelationship between logistics and M&As.

This paper addresses the debate on family run business and corporate governance before and after the Asian Financial Crisis in 1997. As there are only few studies on the corporate governance of family businesses in Malaysia, this paper aims to provide a broad view of the corporate governance practises of family run companies in Malaysia. The majority of family-run companies in Malaysia are operated by ethnic Chinese families in Malaysia. To understand the practices of corporate governance in these companies, this study selected 3 of the top 10 family run companies by market capitalization in Malaysia. This paper discusses the issues and problems related to family run businesses in the light of the separation of ownership and control, lack of board independence and protection of minority shareholders, lack of independence of external auditors, lack of transparency and disclosure as well as managerial entrenchment.

Methods Of Measurement

Job-education mismatch and overeducation issues among graduates have been discussed extensively, specifically related to the incidents, determinants, methods of measurement, and the effects of the mismatch. Despite this, the concept of job-education mismatch itself is not clearly explained. Since understanding this concept has theoretical and practical implications, this paper provides a critical review of the job mismatch concept and relates it to overeducation, which is a type of job-education imbalance under a vertical mismatch. This study relies solely on the literature review and does not provide any empirical evidence related to these concepts. A few issues have been highlighted and worth considering for further deliberation. Firstly, even though job-education mismatch, overeducation, overqualification, and underemployment are interchangeably used, these concepts have quite a distinct meaning. Secondly, when individuals’ skills are considered in discussing vertical and horizontal mismatch, the scope of mismatch tends to be broader than that of overeducation. Thirdly, the discussion on overeducation tends to concentrate on the level of study imbalance and not on both the level and type of study. Fourthly, job-education imbalance by the field of study (horizontal mismatch) is not easily defined, and the discussion tends to be related to overeducation.

AbstractDespite the importance to researchers and organizations of how creativity contributes to effective leadership and how leadership contributes to group and organizational creativity, our knowledge regarding this interrelationship remains largely limited. A review of the literature based on both theoretical grounds and empirical evidence reveals that studies examining the intersection between creativity and leadership in organizations are divergent in terms of how they conceptualize this relationship. A multi-level framework is used to synthesize the knowledge in both creativity and leadership disciplines, with multiple themes having been found at each level of the framework.
