<p>This study compares performance for founder-managed firms and professional-managed firms by analyzing 138 Canadian IPO firms that went public from 2004 to 2013. In this paper, we measure firm performance in two ways: Tobin’s Q and ROA are used to measure a firm’s financial performance, while firm survival status is used as a supplementary performance measure. We find that founder-managed firms underperform and underlive their counterparts when firm performance is measured by Tobin’s Q and survival status. Founder status is proved to be unrelated to ROA. The negative influence of founder status can be explained by the relevant transaction hypothesis, which states that founder-managers may act for the controlling family and are more concerned with the associated private income stream than with maximizing the value of the firm.</p>

The Capital Structure

Introduction: The field of research treating debt capacity can be comprehended as a unique piece of a lot more extensive capital structure hypothesis. This started with the paper of Modigliani/Miller in 1958. There has been a continuous and serious hypothetical dialog about the ideal capital structure of an organization. One generally new piece of the related discussion is debt capacity and potential connection to the capital structure of an organization. Purpose: The purpose of the study was to examine the effect of debt capacity and financial performance of quoted firms in Nigeria. This study expected that debt capacity can be a way to characterize and deal with the capital structure of an organization. Methodology: The study formulated 3 hypotheses and the least square multiple regression was used for hypothesis testing empirical results based on 2014 to 2018 accounting and marketing data for 20 quoted firms in Nigeria lend some support to the pecking order and static tradeoff theories of optimal capital structure. Data were sourced from the Nigeria Stock Exchange, Security and Exchange Commission, and other relevant data sources. This study investigated, experimentally, if there might be a significant relationship between the debt capacity of organizations and their financial and market performance.   Findings: A firm’s debt capacity was found to have a significant impact on the firm’s accounting performance measure. Debt capacity measures have a positive and significant relationship with the market performance measure (Tobin’s Q). A fascinating finding is that all the influence estimates have a positive and exceptionally critical association with the market execution measure (Tobin’s Q), which could somewhat bolster Myers, (1977)’s contention that organizations with high transient obligation to add up to resources have a high development rate and superior. Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The consequences of this result further affirm some earlier discoveries by different researchers and prior analysts and the exploration work has had the option to discover answers to the examination addresses prior brought up in the basic part in the accompanying ways. It was therefore recommended that Companies can finance themselves with debt and equity capital. By increasing the amount of debt capital relative to its equity capital, a company can increase its return on equity. Also, in transition, the economic environment is more volatile and riskier than in developed markets. Therefore, a management scheme of capital structure that provides for flexibility in financing is preferable.

The Impact

The financial performance can be used as a benchmark of the ability of an organization or company in achieving its goals. Performance measurement is one of the most important factors for an organization or company, performance measurement is a process of measuring the extent to which a company does work to achieve its goals. The research investigated the impact of infrastructure, economic growth and inflation on financial performance of infrastructure support companies listed in Indonesian Stock Exchange Period 2014-2019 which is proxied by ROA (Return on Assets), Tobin’s Q and PBV (Price to Book Value). The population of this research was the infrastructure support companies listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange period 2014-2019. Research sampling was conducted using The Purposive Sampling Method. The data analysis was camed out using classical assumption test, multiple linear regression analysis, t-test, F-test and determinan (R2) test with SPSS 21. The research finding showed that the model has an effect on the financial performance as proxied by ROA. So the results of the hypothesis test show that: (1) Infrastructure development has a negative and significant effect on ROA. (2) The inflation rate has a positive and significant effect on ROA. (3) Economic growth has no significant effect on ROA. Meanwhile, the model has no effect on financial performance which is proxied in Tobin's Q and PBV.

This study examined the effect of income diversification on financial performance of deposit money banks (DMBs) in Nigeria. Variables considered were commission, foreign exchange incomes, and firm age, which are proxies for income diversification and financial performance proxied by Tobin's Q ratio. The purposive sampling technique was used to select the 8 banks classified by Central Bank of Nigeria to be Domestic Systematically Important Banks in Nigeria. Data collected from the annual reports and the Nigerian Stock Exchange website for a period 2008-2018 were used. Statistical tools used were the descriptive statistics and econometric analysis using the panel data. Findings showed that while commission income has a significant positive effect on Tobin's Q ratio of DMBs, foreign exchange income and firm age each have a significant negative effect on Tobin's Q ratio of DMBs in Nigeria. It is recommended that banks in Nigeria minimize their income from foreign exchange to maximize performance since income from these transactions tend to inhibit bank financial performance.

The Impact

The current research article considers the impact of CEO overconfidence on firm performance for S&P BSE 200 firms. The CEO overconfidence is measured using revealed beliefs (holder 67, long holder and net buyer), press coverage and forecasting error proxies of CEO overconfidence. CEO Overconfidence measures are constructed as per the methodology of Malmendier and Tate (2005b, 2008). Firm performance is measured using Tobin’s Q and return on assets. The data are collected from the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE) prowess, S&P Capital IQ and the annual reports of the sample firms over a period of 15 years starting from 1 April 2000 to 31 March 2015. Regression results for each of the proxy of CEO overconfidence with the proxies of firm performance indicate that large Indian firms with overconfident CEOs enjoy a higher return on assets and Tobin’s Q as compared to the full sample firms. Overconfident CEOs consider themselves better-than-average, are involved with over-investment and show superior performance for the firm. The overconfident CEOs increase firm performance by following optimal levels of investments in the firm.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to find the relationship of capital structure decision with the performance of the firms in the developing market economies like Pakistan.Methodology: Pooled Ordinary Least Square regression was applied to 36 engineering sector firms in Pakistani market listed on the Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE) during the period 2003-2009.Findings: The results show that financial leverage measured by short term debt to total assets (STDTA) and total debt to total assets (TDTA) has a significantly negative relationship with the firm performance measured by Return on Assets (ROA), Gross Profit Margin (GM) and Tobin’s Q. The relationship between financial leverage and firm performance measured by the return on equity (ROE) is negative but insignificant. Asset size has an insignificant relationship with the firm performance measured by ROA and GM but negative and significant relationship exists with Tobin’s Q. Firms in the engineering sector of Pakistan are largely dependent on short term debt but debts are attached with strong covenants which affect the performance of the firm.Originality/Value: This is first paper to study an individual sector like engineering industry in Pakistan on the mentioned topic.

This paper aims to empirically investigate the impact of capital structure choice on the firm performance of the firms listed under the Dhaka Stock Exchange of Bangladesh. Multiple regression has been employed in this research to determine the relationship between the capital structure and the firm’s financial performance. Three ratios of financial performance, i.e., return on assets, return on equity, and gross margin, have been used as a sample of non-financial Bangladeshi companies, selected from 2010 to 2015. The study records numerous findings. First, the result shows a significant negative influence of long-term debt (LTD) and total debt (TTD) on firm financial performance measured by return on assets (ROA), but no significant relationship is found between short-term debt (STD) and this measure of firm’s financial performance. Moreover, the research found that there is no significant effect of short-term debt, long-term debt and total debt on the firm financial performance measured by return on equity (ROE). Finally, the result shows that a significant negative influence of short-term debt and total debt on firm performance measured by GM, but no significant relationship was found between long-term debt and financial performance. In general terms, the results of this study may suggest that capital structure has a negative influence on firms’ financial performance in Bangladesh.

Using both Return On Assets (ROA) and Tobin’s Q as proxies for performance, the study seeks to explore if better governed firms exhibit greater financial performance than poorly governed firms. The paper employs a panel study methodology for a sample of 137 Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) listed firms between 2002 and 2011. The results show that the compliance levels to corporate governance in South Africa (SA) has been improving since 2002 when King II came into force. However, the compliance level in large firms appears to be higher than in small firms. Further, the findings show that the market value of large firms is higher than that of small firms. These results largely support the notion that better governed firms outperforms poorly governed firms in terms of financial performance. Notably, the empirical results indicate that board size, CEO duality and the presence of independent non-executive directors positively impact the performance of a firm, whereas board gender diversity, director share-ownership and frequency of board meetings have no impact on firm performance. This suggests that greater representation of independent non-executive director, a larger board size and the separation of CEO and Chairman should be encouraged to enhance firm performance. Unexpectedly, the presence of internal key board committees, such as remuneration, audit and nomination, negatively impact firm performance. Similar to UK, South Africa has a flexible approach to corporate governance, in which listed firms are required to apply or explain non-conformance to King recommendations. This study has policy implications as it determines whether the flexible corporate governance approach employed by SA improves corporate governance compliance than the mandatory corporate governance approach as employed by countries such as Sri Lanka and US, and whether compliance translates into firm performance. The significant finding of this study is that compliant firms enjoy a higher firm performance as measured by ROA and Tobin’s Q. This implies that compliance to corporate governance code of practice matters, not just as box ticking exercise but as a real step change in the governance of South African listed firms. This paper fulfils an identified need of how compliance to corporate governance influences firm performance in South Africa. The findings have implications to JSE listing rules, policy, investor confidence and academia.
