The Relationship

The study tries to examine the relationship between gender diversity on the Board and firms' profitability in Bangladesh's Pharmaceutical industry. The study employs a panel data approach with all the Pharmaceutical companies listed under Dhaka Stock Exchanges. The sample period covers eight years from 2012-2019. To conduct the study, Return on Equity and Tobin's Q was taken as a proxy of accounting measure of profitability and market measure of profitability, respectively. The proportion of women on board structure was taken as a proxy for gender diversity. Some other variables: board size, firm age, leverage, and firm size, were incorporated to control the effect of these variables on profitability. The study reveals that gender diversity shows a positive but insignificant relationship with the firm's performance in terms of ROE. The R square of this model was 11.67%. In terms of Tobin's Q, gender diversity exhibited a significant positive relationship with firm performance. The R square of this model was 17%. This implies that the market ascribes a great value to the inclusion of women in board structure since it increases the board structure's independence and profitability.

The Relationship

Purpose This paper aims to explore the relationship of promoter ownership and board structure with firm performance for Indian companies. Design/methodology/approach Corporate governance structures of 391 Indian companies out of CRISIL NSE Index (CNX) 500 companies listed on national stock exchange (NSE) have been studied for their impact on performance of companies. Panel data regression methodology has been used on data for five financial years from 2010 to 2014 for the selected companies. Performance measures considered are market-based measure (Tobin’s Q) and accounting-based measure (return on assets [ROA]). Findings The empirical findings indicate that market-based measure (Tobin’s Q) is more impacted by corporate governance than accounting-based measure. There is significant positive association between promoter ownership and firm performance. It is also indicated that the relationship between promoter ownership and firm performance is different at different levels of promoter ownership. Board size is found to be positively related to ROA; however, board independence is not found to be related to any of the performance measures. Research limitations/implications Limitations of the study are in terms of data methodology and possible omission of some variables. It is felt that endogeneity and reverse causality might be better addressed using simultaneous equation methodology. Originality/value The paper adds to the emerging body of literature on corporate governance performance relationship in Indian context using a reasonably wider and newer data set.

The Impact

The purpose of this study was to discuss the impact of the extent of internationalization on firm performance measured for firms with a high Tobin’s Q (firms with good operating performance), a median Tobin’s Q (firms with average operating performance), and a low Tobin’s Q (firms with poor operating performance). In addition to discussion on the impact of internationalization on firm performance, this study also discussed the impact of corporate proprietary assets (using assets, R&D, marketing, and management-related variables as moderating variables) and control variables (scale of company, debt-asset ratio, firm age, board structure, and proportion of pledged shares by directors) on firm performance. The research results showed that there is an S-shaped relationship between extent of internationalization and firm performance. However, further discussion found that there is an S-shaped relationship between extent of internationalization and performance for firms with a high Tobin’s Q but a slight decline in the middle of the S-shaped curve, as well as a general linear negative correlation between extent of internationalization and performance for firms with a median Tobin’s Q and an inverted U-shaped correlation between extent of internationalization and performance for firms with a low Tobin’s Q.

This study describes the relationship between corporate governance with corporate performance and learns about the development and implementation of GCG in Indonesia. This study uses regression analysis to determine whether corporate governance has a positive influence. Sampling of Corporate Governance Perception Index (CGPI) for 2006 to 2009 from The Indonesian Institute for Corporate Governance (IICG) was used to measure the influence of corporate governance with Tobin’s Q on the performance of the enterprise market and Return On Equity (ROE) was used to measure the operational performance of the company. This study used a sample of 40 companies surveyed by IICG from 2006 to 2009 and included in the top 10 corporate governance ranking index released by IICG and the companies’ financial reporting are also listed on the BEI (Bursa Efek Indonesia) as well. The sampling method is purposive sampling. The result of this study indicate that there is no significant relationship between corporate governance with Tobin’s Q (market performance) but there is a significant positive relationship between corporate governance with ROE (operational performance).

The Relationship

This paper reassesses the relationship between working capital management (WCM) and firm performance in the Nigerian context. The study is motivated by the limited insights available on the impacts of WCM on firm performance in the country. To date, most studies from Nigeria have been largely descriptive and focused on a small sample size that is non-representative of the population. In addition, there are limited rigorous statistical analyses involved in such studies. This paper addresses the methodological limitations apparent in prior literature and provides a better understanding of the relationship between WCM and firm performance, revealing how firms can manage their operations more profitably. The paper adopts a panel data regression analysis on a sample of 75 non-financial firms listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange from 2007 to 2015. The results of the analyses showed that WCM variables have an inconsistent relationship with the measures of performance adopted, which were return on assets and Tobin’s Q. Specifically, accounts receivable management and inventory management were negatively associated with the return on assets, while accounts payable management, cash conversion cycle and cash conversion efficiency were positively associated with return on assets. Additionally, accounts receivable management and inventory management were positively associated with Tobin’s Q, whereas accounts payable management, cash conversion cycle and cash conversion efficiency were negatively associated with Tobin’s Q. These results were found to be robust using quantile regression. The results of the quantile regression showed inconsistency across the various quantiles used (0.10, 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75). These findings have two important implications. The first is that WCM variables influence the performance of firms. The second is that the mixed findings partly indicate that firms and managers must understand and formulate WCM policies that reflect their peculiar conditions.

Purpose This study aims to include two primary goals. First to determine the board characteristics of listed companies in Turkey and second to investigate the effect of board gender diversity on the performance of these companies. Design/methodology/approach This study uses an instrumental variables regression analysis to investigate the relationship between board gender diversity and firm performance using the data from 2008-2012 of the entities listed on the Borsa Istanbul. Findings The results indicate that the boards of these companies in Turkey are male-dominated. Moreover, this study shows that the inclusion of female directors is positively related to the financial performance of firms, as measured by the return on assets, the return on equity and the return on sales. Originality/value Limited empirical studies have been conducted on the relationship between board gender diversity and firm performance in emerging economies. Therefore, there is still no consensus regarding the link between board gender diversity and firm financial performance based upon the mixed and sometimes contradictory results in prior research. Therefore, this study extends the current literature in the context of Turkey, showing that a female member on the board can enhance the financial performance of a company.

This research is aimed to investigate the influence of gender diversity and educational level in board of commissioner on the performance of non-financial company listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange for 2013-2017 period. Gender diversity as the first research variable was measured by female existence as the head of commissioner, female existence on board of commissioner and its proportion. Meanwhile, education level of female in board of commissioner as the second variable was measured with dummy 1 for master and doctoral graduate and 0 for other levels. Next, the company performance variable is proxied with a return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE), and Tobin’s Q. The model employed in this research was an unbalanced data panel using fixed and random effect model approach. The results show that gender diversity has a significant impact on ROA, but an insignificant impact on ROE and Tobin’s Q. Further, education does not have a significant impact on financial performance. In general, board characteristics do not have an important role in determining financial performance.

KEP-100 / MBU / 2002 yang diterbitkan oleh kantor Kementerian Badan Usaha Milik Negara (BUMN) pada bulan Juni 2002 (yang selanjutnya akan dituliskan sebagai “KEP-100 / MBU / 2002”)  disusun untuk mengevaluasi kesehatan keuangan BUMN. Tujuan penelitian ini ada dua, pertama untuk menganalisis skor kesehatan keuangan BUMN yang terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia, dan kedua untuk mengevaluasi hubungan antara skor kesehatan keuangan dan kinerja perusahaan dari semua BUMN yang terdaftar. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa skor kesehatan keuangan BUMN memiliki hubungan yang signifikan dengan kinerja perusahaan yang diukur dengan skor Tobin's Q masing-masing BUMN. Dari hasil tersebut dapat disimpulkan bahwa SK KEP-100 / MBU / 2002 yang dikeluarkan oleh Kementerian Badan Usaha Milik Negara (BUMN) dapat digunakan untuk mengukur skor kesehatan keuangan perusahaan, dan skor kesehatan keuangan dari BUMN yang terdaftar di Indonesia memiliki pengaruh yang signifikan dan berdampak positif terhadap kinerja perusahaan yang diukur dengan log dari Tobin's Q.Pada aplikasinya, penggunaan perhitungan tingkat kesehatan keuangan BUMN berdasarkan KEP-100 / MBU / 2002 diharapkan akan dapat membantu BUMN untuk memprediksikan nilai market di pasaran menggunakan nilai tingkat kesehatan keuangan tersebut. “KEP-100/MBU/2002” of the Indonesia Ministry of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) (which later on will be reffered as “KEP-100/MBU/2002” ) are constructed to evaluate the financial health of SOEs. This study purposes is two-folds, firstly to analyze the financial health score of listed SOEs in Indonesian Stock Exchange, and secondly to evaluate the relationship between the financial health score and firm performance of all listed SOEs. The results show that SOE’s financial health score has a significant relationship with firm performance, measures by each SOEs’ Tobin’s Q score. From the results we can conclude that “ KEP-100/MBU/2002” is applicable to measure firm’s financial health score, and financial healh score of Indonesia’s listed SOEs have a notable impact to firm performance measured by the log of Tobin’s Q. In the real world application, the use of state-owned enterprise financial health score calculations based on KEP-100 / MBU / 2002 is expected to be able to assist SOEs in predicting market value in the market using this financial health score value.
