The objective of this paper is to investigate the role of Investor Relations (IR) in the performance of companies listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange. The study is motivated by the findings in the literature that investor relations may boost information disclosure, analyst following, institutional investor share, liquidity, and business valuation. The current article contributes to the relevant literature by making use of the recently released unique database of VEKTOR scores on company investor relations for 2019 and 2020. The main finding based on regression methodology shows that IR scores have a strong positive relationship with firm performance. Specifically, a one standard deviation rise in the IR score corresponds to a 2.6% rise in company ROA. Companies may be advised to strengthen their investor relations based on these findings about the beneficial role of investor relations.

This study explores the influence of corporate governance practices in corporate boards on firm performance and draws insights on the relative importance for companies for fostering the development of governance mechanisms in business. The study examines 50 firms belonging to the benchmark index of the National Stock Exchange of India (NIFTY 50) and tracks them for over a five-year period. The study uses fixed and random effect econometric models to explore the relationship between corporate governance variables, and firm performance using both accounting returns (EVA, ROA and ROE) and market returns (MVA). The study finds that corporate governance variables significantly improve firm performance or value creation. Especially, multiple directorships, involvement of foreign institutional investors and increase in promoter holdings may significantly affect returns of the firm. The study suggests that it may be useful to foster better corporate governance practices and monitor linkages with firm performance as the effect is influenced by other control variables also.

This study aims to determine the effect of managerial ownership, independent board of commissioners, board of directors, and audit committee on financial distress in banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2015 to 2019. This research used the purposive sampling method with a sample of 41 companies consisting of 205 observational data. Data were analyzed using logistic regression. The results showed that independent board of commissioners and board of directors had a significant and negative effect on financial distress. However, managerial ownership and audit committee did not have a significant effect on financial distress. This study supports the agency theory, which states that the monitoring role of the independent board of commissioners and the board of directors can minimize the occurrence of agency conflicts in a company. Keywords: audit committee, board of directors, financial distress, independent board of commissioners, managerial ownership

The role of banking and insurance as an animated component of any economy has been widely recognized in the evolution of literature (Shrutikeerti & Amlan, 2017). The financial liberalization efforts taken by various developing economies had the central bearing on their financial institutions (Shrutikeerti & Amlan, 2016). The development of insurance and banking sectors play an important role in stimulating financial development and consequently the growth of the economy. Enhancing firm performance predicted through ownership structure, information disclosure, financial transparency and board profile safeguards reputation, yields effective risk management systems and yet helps firms achieve their business objectives. The study employed a sample of 103 financial institutions and adopted a descriptive cross-sectional survey design with a Pearson correlation coefficient. Reliability, validity and exploratory factor analysis with principal components and Cronbach’s alpha as well as hierarchical regression was reasonable for analysis but also directed using the Partial Least Square (PLS) modelling which was helpful in attesting the measurement and structural models appropriate for the performance of financial institutions. Reveal a statistically significant and positive relationship between corporate governance and firm performance. PLS modelling assented the structural and measurement models and recognized that corporate governance is statistically significant and predict firm performance through its different constructs of information disclosure, financial transparency, and ownership structure and board profile. Equally, firm performance demonstrated that management efficiency, earnings quality, asset quality, capital adequacy and liquidity were key dimensions. The study was cross-sectional and a longitudinal study is necessary to understand the dynamics of corporate governance and firm performance over a period of time. The results extend the understanding of the role of corporate governance in promoting firm performance in financial institutions. Additionally, the results add evidence to the growing body of research focusing on interdisciplinary aspects as well as the relationship between corporate governance and firm performance. Overall, there is a significant positive relationship between corporate governance and firm performance.

The study analyses the role of institutional investors in improving firm performance. Unlike in developed economies where firm ownership is widely dispersed, firms in emerging economies such as India have substantial promoter shareholdings (often in a majority or close to a majority). Given the promoter control of Indian companies, the role of institutional investors as external monitors is analysed. Following Brickley, Lease, and Smith (1988) and Almazan, Hartzell, and Starks (2005), the study categorises institutional investors as pressure-sensitive and pressure-insensitive institutional investors. Panel data for non-financial firms from India included in National Stock Exchange (NSE) 500 over the period 2008–2017 is studied using fixed-effects models. The study finds that the increased ownership of pressure-insensitive institutional investors is positively associated with firm performance. Also, the increased ownership of pressure-sensitive institutional investors is negatively associated with firm performance. These findings are consistent with the view that pressure-insensitive institutional investors are more effective monitors compared to pressure-sensitive institutional investors. The study offers insights into the role of institutional investors in economies where firms have a substantial promoter shareholding. The study documents that even with a substantial promoter shareholding and control, pressure-insensitive institutional investors aid in enhancing firm value

This study determines the Good Corporate Governances (GCG) influence in increasing company value through Return on Assets (ROA). Good Corporate Governance factors used in this research are independent commissioner (IC) and audit committee (AC). Company Value factors used in this research is PBV (Price to Book Value). Sample of this research contains 23 conventional commercial banks registered on IDX (Indonesia Stock Exchange) in the period of 2014-2018. The method of data analysis uses multiple linear regression. The results show that the fastest variable to increase company value through ROA as a mediating variable is the audit committee. Independent commissioner does not influence on financial performance (ROA) and company value. Another variable that rapidly increases company value is the direct influence of intellectual capital on company value.

Research and development is an emerging competitive advantage to gain maximum market share. This study is conducted to empirically investigate the relationship between research and development intensity and firm performance in selected non-financial firms listed at Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX). Moreover, the role of ownership structure and board structure have been evaluated between predictor and outcome variable. For this purpose, 27 non-financial firms listed on PSX have been selected for the period of eight years from 2009 to 2016 and unbalanced panel data was obtained. Research and development intensity has been used as an independent variable. ROA, ROE, and TQ are used as measures of financial performance, i.e., dependent variable. Ownership concentration, institutional ownership, and managerial ownership are used as the proxies for ownership structure. Board size, board independence, and board meeting frequency are used as the proxies for board structure. Moreover, firm size, firm age and leverage have also been used as a control variables in data analysis. Based on data analyses, it is concluded that research and development intensity has a positive and significant relationship with all three proxies of firm performance, i.e., ROA, ROE and Tobin’s Q. Afterward, the researchers have investigated the moderating role of ownership structure and board structure between research and development intensity and three proxies of firm performance. It is also concluded that in general ownership structure as well as board structure are negatively moderating the relationship between research and development intensity and firm performance which raises a question mark on the effectiveness of corporate governance mechanism in terms of R&D performance.

In 2013, the CMA at the İstanbul Stock Exchange increased the weight assigned to the Board of Directors component of its Corporate Governance Index to 35% from the previous 25%. Interpreting this as a recognition of the increasing vital role of the board, this study seeks to enhance the work of Abdıoğlu and Kılıç (2015) by putting more focus on the role of women in the boards and the effect of the busy chairman as well as the presence of outside directors on the effectivity of the Board. (The general business structure is associated with family owned groups and holdings which results into a network of intertwined board membership and cases of multiple directorship where, one board chairman can hold the same position or any directorship in as many as ten firmshence the busy chairman). I employ a different method of evaluating performance (EVA) together with the accounting measures of ROE and ROA (as opposed to the overused Tobin’s Q), which I regress against the Board Index to be created. The focus is on firms on the BIST 100 index (excluding financial) between 2009 and 2013. The results reveal that the BINDEX has a significant and positive relationship with firm performance as measured by EVA. A second model reveals no relationship between the BINDEX and firm ROA, similar to the results of Kiliç and Abdioğlu (2015). ROA however has a positive relationship with the proportion of female directors in the board, as earlier reported by LückerathRovers (2013). Another model using ROE as the proxy for performance registers a significant negative relationship with the index. The contradiction obtained in the results from these three models underscore the importance choosing the right methods when estimating the performance of a firm.
