The study aims to determine the socio-economic impact of the decline in firm performances of hotels in Sri Lanka. Evidence from previous research found that 91% of the hotels listed in the Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE) were in the distress zone and this study aims to fill the prevailing knowledge gap by determining the socio-economic impact of this decline. The study will be conducted using a sample of 33 hotels listed under the consumer services sector of the CSE, by considering the firm performance as the independent variable while the dependent variable is the socio-economic impact. The firm size was considered as the moderating variable. Indicators such as Return on Equity (ROE), Return on Assets (ROA) and occupancy rate derived from annual reports and other publications was used to measure firm performance while several indicators derived from statistical reports published by the Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority (SLTDA) and Central Bank will be used to measure socio-economic impact. The research will be conducted during a period of 10 years from 2009 to 2019. Findings from the research will contribute to the existing literature on the assessment of socio-economic impacts and are beneficial to a variety of stakeholders such as hotel managers, government, tourist development authorities and upcoming researchers.

Focus of the study is to examine the role of marketing expense in the relation between capital structure and firm performance using 35 public limited companies listed in Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE), Sri Lanka for the period 2012 to 2019. Inconclusive evidence reported on the role of marketing expense along with unavailability of sound literature raise the need of a study in this nature. The study employs total debt to total asset ratio to represent the leverage of a company while return on assets as proxy for firm performance. Further, return on equity has been introduced to test the robustness of each model developed within the study. Followed by a general descriptive analysis, panel data regression models have been designed to observe the mediator or moderator role of marketing expenditure in determining the relationship between the main variables of the study. Moreover, the study has taken a fair attempt to eliminate model specification bias by incorporating control variables to the main regression models. As per the regression model outputs it was observed that marketing expense operates as a moderator variable in Sri Lanka and most importantly it is weakening the adverse impact created by excessive debt level on firm performance. These findings appeal for a developed capital market in Sri Lanka and highlight the radical decision making under resource-based view. The results of the study agree with the related literature in other parts of the world.

The objective of this empirical study is to explore the effect of the adoption of ERM on the performance of the diversified industry of Sri Lanka. The extent of the adoption of ERM is assessed based on eight ERM functions recognized by the ERM integrated framework of the committee of sponsoring organization of the Treadway Commission and use return on equity as a proxy to measure firm performance. This study finds ERM supportive internal environment, risk-aligned objective setting, event identifications, and risk response have a positive impact on firm performance. However, none of those impacts were statistically significant. Surprisingly, empirical evidence reveals that risk assessment and control activities have a negative impact on the firm performance. Information & communication and monitoring functions indicate a significant impact on firm performance. Nevertheless, monitoring function shows a negative impact on the firm performance. The researcher believes this negative impact is attributable to the increased cost of monitoring activities that is crucial for a diversified business setup. This empirical evidence induces the researcher to conclude that, except for communication and monitoring, the adoption of ERM has no significant impact on the firm performance. These findings are contradictory with the findings of prior researchers.

It is there is ponsibility of the board of director in CG is to oversee the management as well as the firm performance and to make the management accountable to shareholders. Hence this research examines the connection between firms’ performance and board features using board size, board independence in addition to board age as a proxy for board characteristics and turnover as a proxy for firm performance. A sample size of 16 consumer goods firms out of a population of 20 consumer goods firms listed in the NSE from 2016 to 2019 was used using a judgmental sampling technique. Secondary data employed was taken out from the sampled firms’ annual reports. Hausman test analysis was used to select the appropriate regression model, which is the fixed effect regression model that was utilized to analyse the connection between firms’ performance in addition to board characteristics. It is found that firm performance and board independence of the consumer services goods companies in Nigeria are significantly related.The results also confirmed that firm performance and board size of the consumer services goods companies in Nigeria are significantly related. The result indicates firm performance and board education of the consumer services goods companies in Nigeria are not significantly related. Consequently, overall lthe study concluded that firms’ performance and board characteristics are related. Also, board characteristics increase board performance which will lead to increase in firms’ performances, there by maximizing profit and ensuring efficiency. The study concluded that a company with good board characteristics would help to ensure the maximization of both the shareholders and stakeholders wealth.

The aim of this study is to analyse the influence of intellectual capital on firm value through firm performance (profitability, productivity, market valuation and growth). Intellectual capital is measured by using a Value Added Intellectual Coefficient (VAIC™). Firm value is measured by Tobin's Q. The financial performance consists of Return on assets (ROA), Asset turn over (ATO), Market to Book Value (MB) and Earnings per Share (EPS). Data from this study was obtained from financial statements and annual reports of manufacturing companies that are taken from the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The sample of this study is manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the year of 2011-2013 for 37 companies. The types of data used are secondary data in the form of annual reports by the manufacturing companies. Empirical analysis is conducted by using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The results of this study indicate that Intellectual capital has a significant effect on profitability, market valuation and growth. Intellectual capital does not significantly affect productivity and firm value. Market valuation significantly affects the firm value. Profitability, productivity and growth do not significantly affect firm value. Furthermore, Intellectual capital which is intervened by the firm performance has a positive effect on firm value.

The main purpose of this paper is to study the association between intellectual capital efficiency (ICe) and firm performance of companies in the Technology and Telecommunications & Media (TT&M) sectors on the Malaysian main and ACE markets. Data were collected from 37 companies’ annual reports for the year 2018. Value added intellectual coefficient (VAIC) and its components were measured using Pulic’s model, whereas firm performance focuses on profitability, proxied by return on asset (ROA) and return on equity (ROE). VAIC, human capital efficiency (HCe) and Capital employed efficiency (CEe) are associated with significantly higher ROA and ROE. However, Structural capital efficiency (SCe) is not significant with either ROA or ROE. These findings have useful implications to the TT&M companies as their managers may improve on the efficient usage of the relevant capitals in order to gain better firm performance. Moreover, the findings of this study could also be beneficial to policy makers as the financial success of TT&M companies would be in line with national economic policies.
