How to manage financial performance through the utilization of intellectual capital (IC) is an important issue in the knowledge economy. The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of IC on financial performance for manufacturing listed companies in the Chinese context. Financial performance is measured from two distinct aspects: (1) firm profitability, measured through earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), net profit margin (NPM), and gross profit margin (GPM), and (2) corporate return, measured through return on investment (ROI), return on assets (ROA), and return on equity (ROE). The results show a positive relationship between NPM, GPM, ROI, ROA, ROE, and IC (measured through the market-to-book ratio). In addition, the more intangible-intensive manufacturing listed companies exhibit better financial performance. The study provides evidence that higher investment in IC can improve value creation in the emerging economies.

The study used Return on Assets and Return on Equity to measure financial performance. Cash and cash equivalents to total assets ratio, Cash to deposits ratio, Loans to deposits ratio, Loans to total assets ratio, Liquid assets to total assets ratio, and Liquid assets to deposits ratio were used as proxies for liquidity management. The research population was all the 9 commercial banks in Botswana and the study covered a period of 9 years from 2011 to 2019. This descriptive study sourced monthly secondary data from Bank of Botswana Financial Statistics database. Descriptive statistics, correlation and regression analyses were applied to analyse the data. The results from regression analysis show statistically significant positive relationships for Loans to total assets ratio and Liquid assets to total assets ratio with return on assets and return on equity. Loans to deposits ratio and Liquid assets to deposits ratio had statistically significant negative relationships with return on assets and return on equity. Cash and cash equivalents to total assets ratio had statistically insignificant positive relationship with return on assets and return on equity whilst cash to deposits ratio had statistically insignificant negative relationship with return on assets and return on equity. Findings suggest that the commercial banks should try to optimize liquidity variables to boost bank performance. The policy makers also, through the Central Bank, should come up with initiatives such as prescribing minimum liquidity requirements that will help banks to stay profitable.

The study recommends that the company’s management, when determining financial leverage, find a degree of balance between the returns that are to be achieved for shareholders with the returns that are to be achieved for the assets, increase the degree of financial leverage for companies to improve financial performance to achieve the returns of shareholders, the need for companies to try to reduce the assumption cost so that it is less than the return on assets to create returns that can be added to equity.

In this chapter, the impact of corporate sustainability practices (CSP) on corporate financial performance (CFP) is investigated in terms of Turkish manufacturing industry. In this context, 16 sustainable companies vs. 21 control companies in 2016 and 16 sustainable companies vs. 24 control companies in 2017 are examined. Thirty-seven financial performance variables within seven groups are used, and non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test is applied. In 2016, four out of seven significant variables point out that sustainable companies perform better than control sample; however, in 2017, three out of four significant variables indicate the opposite. Therefore, the results are mixed, and it is concluded that implementing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria do not have a noticeable positive effect on financial performances of manufacturing industry companies, at least in the short-term.

Purpose: This article analyses the effect of board diversity on the financial performance of non-financial firms listed in the Nifty Index. Specifically, it examines the mediation effect of the promoter’s presence and multiple directorships on the financial performance of the firm, that is, return on net worth (RONW), return on equity (ROE) and its sales growth. Methodology: The article uses the hierarchical regression model to analyse the effect of board diversity on financial performance. The presence of the promoters on the board and multiple directorships are taken as the control variables. Findings: Empirical results show the significant effect of the promoter’s presence on the board on the firm’s earnings and a significant positive effect of firm age, board size, age diversity and experience diversity on the financial performance. However, we do not find any statistically significant relationship between firm size and financial performance in any model. The results also show that the age and experience of the female directors are significantly less compared to the male directors. However, the age and experience of the non-executive directors and independent directors are found to be higher among the other positions held by the directors. We also find a negative relationship between multiple directorships in other firms and the financial performance of the firm. Value: The article proposes that there should be a greater number of independent directors in a firm that has its promoter on the board. One recommendation for the board is to reduce the number of directorships held in other boards to ensure more constructive contribution towards the firm’s financial performance. The article studies the effect of the promoter’s presence on the board and multiple directorships held by board members on the financial performance of the firm.
