Purpose: The current research aims to analyze the particular quagmire of endogeneity by considering panel data with the renowned challenge of limited periods. Design/Methodology/Approach: More specifically, the empirical methodology is applied to a novel sector of Telecommunications in Pakistan by analyzing the possible relationship between Operational Risk and a Telecommunication company’s financial performance. The efficacy of the results is further tested by additional tests of GMM. Operational risk in the study is proxied with three variables. Performance is measured in terms of Returns with respect to Equity holders and Total Assets. From the point of view of management, Asset utilization is also used as a proxy for financial performance. Findings: Results show a presence of a significant and a negative relationship between operational risk and management performance and returns, thereby emphasizing the importance of operational risk management for enhanced performance in light of the theory of performance frontiers introduced by Schmenner and Swink in 1998. Implications/Originality/Value: The results suggest that the focus on operational risk management should be revitalized if the firms seek improved performance and a sustainable competitive advantage.

Increase in losses borne by banks as a result of inadequate operational risk management practices and the adverse impact on banks’ financial performance has been a major concern to bank management and regulators. This study analysed the impact of operational risk management practices on the financial performance of commercial banks in Nigeria. 10-years (2008 - 2017) secondary data extracted from audited financial statements of selected commercial banks in Nigeria was used for the study. The data was analysed using the Linear Multiple Regression Model. The results showed that there is a positive relationship between operational risk management and the financial performance of banks. The findings revealed that sound operational risk management practices impact positively on the financial performance of banks. We, therefore, recommend that banks’ management should deploy adequate resources towards understanding operational risk to ensure sound operational risk management and improved financial performance of banks.

The management of operational risk is not a new practice; it has always been important for banks to try to prevent fraud, and reduce errors in transaction processing in order to preserve the best quality services for their customers, and also to reduce huge losses. Ignoring the errors and operational risk will lead to customer complaints, losing potential and remaining customers and will jeopardize the bank sustainability in the long run. Thus the objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between perceived operational risk management and customer complaints. Resource Base theory is use in examining the relationships between perceived operational risk management and customer complaints. The survey questionnaires were emailed to branch managers and assistant managers of 650 local commercial bank branches across Malaysia and 132 fully completed survey questionnaires were received. Data was analyzed using multiple regressions. The study found that the banks have perceived operational risk management with a mean of 4.56, and can be concluded as very important in bank branches across Malaysia. As for the relationship of perceived operational risk management to customer complaints, it was found that the practice of hazard identification and formulation of implementation of risk control has a significant negative relationship to customer complaints as hypothesized. From the present study, management can formulate policies or strategies that can be used to mitigate risk in the bank and to enhance customer satisfaction in terms of services rendered by the tellers.
