Abstract:

This paper considers whether company decisions on their advisors promote efficiency in the market for business advisory services. We employ a fixed effects measure of advisor quality and find that no fine-grained measure of performance seems to influence separation and hiring decisions. We do find that, under a rule of thumb measure of advisor performance, firms are more likely to ditch “bad” and “neutral” advisors than “good” ones. Unfortunately, using the same rule of thumb measure, firms appear no more likely to hire “good” quality new advisors than could be expected by chance. As a result, in less than 10% of all separations, the new hire yields an improvement in advisor quality. In short, there is a substantial amount of movement in the market with no benefit.

Abstract:

We follow one advisor and five family firm succession cases over 4 years to capture emerging emotions during the succession process. Using inductive analysis, we investigate how the advisor’s mediation of these emotions affects individual-level satisfaction with the succession process. Interviews, observation, meeting minutes, and archival data reveal an iterative process: the advisor first unearths the incumbent’s and successor’s emotions to surface emotional tensions before alleviating them. Unearthing and alleviating emotions speeds role adjustments and advances succession, especially when the incumbent becomes “stuck” in the process. Emotion mediation and role adjustment appear to foster individual-level satisfaction with the succession process.

Abstract:

This paper analyzes the role of independent financial advisors in the negotiated sale of tax-exempt securities. The empirical results indicate that the costs of contracting with financial advisors are not significantly offset by corresponding benefits in the form of lower borrowing costs. There is no evidence that advisor certification reduces reoffer yields; advisor monitoring activities are shown to reduce modestly the costs of underwriting.

Abstract:

In mutual fund, an individual or a firm that is in the business of giving advice about securities to clients is an investment advisor. Investment advisers are individuals or firms that receive compensation for giving advice on investing in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or exchange-traded funds. Investment advisors manage portfolios of securities. Advisors can use new cognitive and analytics capabilities to better understand their clients and needs and have a stronger ability to deepen relationships with a better portfolio. In this paper, we analyze data points foreach advisor, and distinguish the best prospects, obtain insight into their experience and credentials, and learn about their portfolio, in other words, to recognize the pattern of portfolio of the advisors. Such analysis helps the sales people to sell the fund company products to the suitable advisors based on the nature of the product they want to sell. This is done by investigating what kind of products advisors have been buying, and what kind of products they might be looking for. This helps to increase the sales of the products as sales people will be reaching the appropriate advisors.

Abstract:

Succession literature addressed factors affecting the development of successors’ leadership skills. Yet the role professional advisors play in this process is not well understood. This study contrasts the detailed descriptions of four advisor-directed leadership development processes, to suggest a grounded theory of how advisors can facilitate the construction of successors’ leadership. Adopting an insider–outsider approach to the collection and analysis of ethnographic data, the study revealed that the assumption of a transitional leadership role by advisors—an interim leadership held by the advisor while supporting the successor’s leadership development—was critical to moving the succession process forward.

Abstract:

A dual role advisor is an investment bank that is advising the vendor client in an M&A transaction while simultaneously financing the bidder. I investigate whether dual role advising is good or bad for target shareholders through a comprehensive analysis of U.S. public M&A over the 15-year period from 1993 to 2008. Conflicts of interest are manifested through that deals which involve a dual role advisor are, compared to deals with no dual role advisors; (a) performed at lower premium, (b) more likely to be subject to a lawsuit, (c) feature lower merger advisor fees and (d) commensurate with higher announcement returns for bidders. Target firms with sound corporate governance practices are less likely to encounter dual role situations.

Abstract:

Consulting and working as an advisor to family businesses are awesome responsibilities. The interventions and advice we give will in some instances have an impact on a family for generations. As a result, it is critical to understand what factors create success as well as failure. In most instances, understanding our failures provides the richest opportunity to create future benefits for our clients. Accepting this challenge of learning from our mistakes requires courage and leadership to explore and understand our own depths and the five common shadows facing family business consultants and advisors. For those of us who take the risk and accept the challenge, the benefits are enormous—not only for ourselves and our profession but more importantly for our clients who are the recipients of our work.

Full text

Abstract:

Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) advisors add value by overcoming the information asymmetries between acquirers and targets, but may also push bad deals through due to incentive misalignment stemming from contingent fees. In-house deals are those acquisitions with in-house advisors. We examine the wealth effect of M&A deals advised by in-house advisors versus outside advisors. About 15% of acquisitions are done via in-house advisors. In-house deals result in higher CARs to targets, insignificant wealth effects to acquirers, but lower cumulative abnormal combined returns. This finding is consistent with the view that the information asymmetry problem is more severe than the agency conflict in non-financial acquisitions. Thus, targets are more likely to extract wealth away from the acquirers, or the overall deal quality is lower. Also, consistent with the view that investment banks have an incentive to see deals completed, the completion rate is higher for deals with an outside advisor

Abstract:

At most institutions accredited by the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), a single advisor works with students enrolled in the Master of Business Administration (MBA) program. This advisor provides advice on course loads as well as careers. As this advisor may make a lasting impression on students, his or her job satisfaction is critical. This exploratory study focused on four classes of determinants of advisor satisfaction. Data were obtained through a survey mailed to all AACSB-accredited schools. A regression analysis revealed that job- and advisor-descriptive variables explained most of the variation in satisfaction. Critical determinants included role clarity, work status, student orientation, and expertise in both technical and creative areas of advisement. This study suggests that full-time employment and clarification of job tasks may enhance advisor job satisfaction.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the role of financial advice on investor trading behavior by analyzing the influence of advisor personality. Design/methodology/approach The study utilized the Big Five personality framework from Costa and McCrae (1992) to measure personality traits of advisors and examined the data collected from 314 stock investor–advisor dyads. Personality traits of advisors were measured by the NEO-Five Factor Inventory (Costa and McCrae, 1989). Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to assess the fitness of the Big Five model. We followed two-stage least square method for estimating endogenous covariate by employing instrumental variable analysis. Probit model was used to evaluate the moderating influence of advisor personality traits on the association between the usage of financial advice and trading behavior. Findings The authors found that financial advice positively impacts investors’ stock trading frequency. The authors also provide empirical evidence that financial advice is more likely to increase trading frequency when advisor personality tends to be openness, conscientiousness and agreeableness. On the other hand, information acquired from financial advisors causes fewer adjustments in investors’ portfolios when the personality of advisors is likely to be extraverted and neurotic. Research limitations/implications The theoretical model in our study seeks to explain that a psychological factor, namely, advisor personality, influences the way an investor interprets information signals from financial advice, which, in turn, influences the investor’s decision to trade in securities. Practical implications This research suggests that characteristics of advisors other than those of investors can be of relevance for policy makers in their attempts to improve their business in the financial services industry. Originality/value Survey-based studies in finance are lacking. This study adds to the existing literature of behavioral finance that accounts for the observed variations in investors’ financial decision making explained by psychological factors. No previous study has been conducted so far exploring variations in the impact of financial advice on investors’ stock trading behavior by the Big Five advisor personality, and this paper strives to fill this research gap in Chinese stock market.

Abstract:

Business students' perceptions concerning several academic advising resources are presented. Using a Likert scale, students evaluated resources such as their academic advisor, course instructors, staffs, friends, and parents as well as the university catalog and the Foundations of Business Administration (FBA) course. Selected demographic information was also collected. Results show that students ranked the FBA course, which provides an overview of an individual's 4-year study plan, as the most helpful. The course instructors and academic advisors were ranked second and fourth, respectively. Enrollment status, declared major, and gender were related to students' views on some advising resources, but transfer status was not. Moreover, we found some connection between the effectiveness of advising resources perceived by students and the students' developmental stages. Relative Emphasis: practice, research, theory

Abstract:

Purpose – This study aims to explore the existence and strength of power through focussing on the manner in which accountants exercise power in their advisory relationship with small business. Design/methodology/approach – Interviews provided insights into accountants’ power-related perceptions, experiences and use of power in the advisory relationship. A questionnaire accessed evidence from small business owner-managers (SBOMs). Power theoretical perspectives informed the analysis of the findings. Findings – Accountants’ expert and information power is a consequence of SBOMs’ dependence on their accountants’ expertise and knowledge. Accountants construct advisor roles and exercise power in a manner indicating that they attempt to manage rather than exploit power imbalances to the detriment of dependent SBOMs. However, outbreaks of frustration and conflict in the relationship illustrate the difficulties in managing the dysfunctional consequences of power imbalances. Research limitations/implications – While the findings are restricted to the Australian accountant–small business advisory relationship, they offer a basis for research into the effect of power on the relationship in other national contexts. Research which includes the views of managers of failed small businesses would also extend this work. Practical implications – The study’s focus on accountants’ experiences can assist practitioners endeavouring to develop advisory relationships with small business and designers of professional development programmes seeking to optimise the value of the advisory relationship. Originality/value – The paper extends the study of power to the under-researched yet important accountant–small business advisory area. Its findings are of interest to accountants and accounting policymakers who envisage a broadening of accountants’ small business advisory role.

In this paper, the authors investigate whether analysts’ recommendations can add value for investors by examining the performance of portfolios constructed based on Motley Fool’s recommendations. They evaluate the announcement effect on share price corresponding to the publication of stock recommendations. Additionally, the researchers examine holding period returns for a portfolio imitating the actions of Stock Advisor. They find portfolios composed of recommendations through Stock Advisor added value initially upon recommendation and across extended holding periods. Additionally, the authors find that the Stock Advisor sample outperforms other sample portfolios on a risk-adjusted basis and over several subperiods. The findings contribute to the literature on the usefulness of analysts’ recommendations in adding value to investors’ portfolios.

Abstract:

This study examines the choice of boutique financial advisors in mergers and acquisitions, and the consequences of this choice on deal outcomes and post-acquisition performance. Boutique advisors often specialize in a particular industry and focus exclusively on providing advice in mergers and acquisitions. The results suggest that boutique financial advisors are preferred when the deal is considered complex and when information asymmetry is high. The study finds that the benefits of hiring a boutique advisor flow to both the acquirers and the target firms. Acquiring firms benefit in terms of improved post-merger performance, while target firms benefit in terms of higher completion of value-enhancing deals and positive cumulative abnormal returns. Overall, these results provide support for the growing popularity of boutique financial advisors in the Australian market. JEL classification: G24, G34

Abstract:

Climate change impacts on agriculture have been intensifying in the Northeastern and Midwestern United States. Few empirical studies have considered how dairy farmers and/or their advisors are interpreting and responding to climate impacts, risks, and opportunities in these regions. This study investigates dairy farmer and advisor views and decisions related to climate change using data from seven farmer and advisor focus groups conducted in New York and Wisconsin. The study examined how farmers and advisors perceived climate impacts on dairy farms, the practices they are adopting, and how perceived risks and vulnerability affect farmers’ decision making related to adaptation strategies. Although dairy farmers articulated concern regarding climate impacts, other business pressures, such as profitability, market conditions, government regulations, and labor availability were often more critical issues that affected their decision making. Personal experience with extreme weather and seasonal changes affected decision making. The findings from this study provide improved understanding of farmers’ needs and priorities, which can help guide land-grant researchers, Extension, and policymakers in their efforts to develop and coordinate a comprehensive strategy to address climate change impacts on dairy in the Northeast and the Midwest US.

Abstract:

Family enterprise advisors work on complex and unique problems for their family enterprise clients. Little attention has been given to these professionals and their abilities to provide innovative solutions. In this study, our aim is to understand more about family enterprise advisors ( N = 231). To achieve this objective, we hypothesize that the effects of advisor goal orientation (i.e., learning orientation, proving orientation, and avoidance orientation) on adaptive behaviors (i.e., personal bricolage and individual innovative behavior) are mediated by the quality of feedback received from clients. The results indicate that quality of feedback partially mediates the relationships between goal orientation and these behaviors. We conclude by providing a practitioner model explaining how advisors may adapt to different family enterprise client role environments.

Abstract:

This research investigates the trend following relationships between Commodity Trading Advisor (CTA) Indexes and a widely known trend following proxy Index using a database covering 21 years with 24 CTA, Managed Futures, and Hedge Fund (that can trade CTA-like) Indexes. The trend following relationships are tested using a modification of the Methodology employed by Baesel, Gonzalez-Heres, Chen, & Shin (2012). A unique Alpha adjustment is proposed to include the traditional Alpha plus or minus a reward or penalty for displaying relationships to the larger positive and negative returns of the trend following Index proxy. Results for the first sample period show evidence of at least some association of the returns of the trend following proxy to those of the individual CTA Indexes; however, most of the Indexes showed little to no statistical support for much traditional or adjusted Total Alpha generation. For the second sample period the regression results show that almost none of the Indexes had a statistically significant association with the monthly total returns of the trend following proxy Index. Instead, generally all of the Indexes showed the impact of the larger monthly returns of the trend following proxy Index such that the Alpha adjustments overall were positive and, on average, generated approximately 50% of the Total Alpha of the individual CTA Indexes.

Abstract:

The Devon and Cornwall TEC as a regional organiser of training programmes for UK industry co-operated with Plymouth Business School to develop a new form of support provision to enhance survival rates for new small business start-ups. The new system involves a 3 phase process of (i) determination of the suitability of the self employment option for a specific individual, (ii) acquiring skills sufficient to prepare a business plan for assessment by a business advisor and (iii) ongoing mentor support during the first trading year. To optimise development of owner/manager competencies, the provision is delivered through an integrated mix of group training sessions and 1:1 counselling. Results are presented of 2 large-scale surveys undertaken once the new system had come on-stream. Data indicate that the new provision is effectively delivering the specified competencies required to successfully start a new small business. Direct measurement of survival rates to validate improvement will require longitudinal tracking studies. Indirect indicators of scheme participation rates, proportion progressing into the second trading year and comments by financial service sector advisors all indicate, however, that the probability of success in the early months of trading has been enhanced.

This study reviews the literature on advising family firms and integrates past contributions in such a way that scholars can use the findings as a foundation to launch future research. It reviews 105 articles and other research contributions published since 1983. The findings suggest that although advisors play a crucial role within family firms, there remains to date a lack of rigorous academic research. These past contributions are integrated into a framework that provides a first step toward developing theoretical arguments and charting directions for future research that address the nature of the family firm–advisor relationship.

Abstract:

Multicultural competence, defined as an understanding of international business and social relations plus the attitudes, skills, and special knowledge necessary to apply it, is identified as an emerging component of human capital in the global economy. This article documents the growing demand for multicultural competence, describes the course content and advisor activities that have been recommended to develop this capacity, and comments on the limits and inherent dangers of providing multicultural exposure to everyone. The article also identifies new roles, such as that of a “culture broker,” which characterize the global economy. Academic advisors are urged to help students maximize their human capital by adding multicultural competence skills as part of their formal education.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate three information sources for their influence on trust and patronage intent toward an unmet financial services advisor. The sources were facial appearance, credentials and social information about the provider. Trust in an unmet provider is believed to be important because financial services are transitioning to an online customer interface. Design/methodology/approach In the two experiments, facial appearance (trustworthy versus less trustworthy), credentials (high versus low) and social information (cooperative versus less cooperative) were tested for their influence on cognitive trust, affective trust, patronage intent and amount of money to entrust to an unmet financial advisor. Findings In Study 1, both facial appearance and credentials significantly affected patronage intent. The effect of facial appearance was mediated through affective trust, and the effect of credentials was mediated through cognitive trust. In Study 2, both facial appearance and social information significantly affected patronage intent. Unexpectedly, respondents’ gender exhibited a highly significant main effect and interaction (ordinal) with the face cue for patronage intent. Research limitations/implications The experimental context was restricted to an unmet financial advisor. Interaction with an actual provider would likely change the perception of affective trust. Also, all depicted and described advisors were men; the effect of provider gender was not investigated. Originality/value Findings indicate that a personal photo on a business card may either increase or decrease patronage intent. Conversely, communicating credential achievement or an evidence of civic engagement to prospective clients has a favorable effect on patronage intent.

Abstract:

Purpose This paper aims to enhance the successful interaction between buyers and suppliers who use intelligent agents by presenting a computational model to detect the most reliable supplier agent according to advice of an advisor agent. Design/methodology/approach In this case, the authors study the most representative models in agent environments. According to these analysis criteria, a computational model was presented to compute the reliability of supplier agents and then select the most reliable one. To evaluate the proposed method, the experimentation was carried out in two stages. First, the average accuracy of model in computing the reliability was evaluated by comparing a random selection method. Second, the performance of the model in detecting the most reliable supplier was evaluated in an agent environment by applying trust network game as a simulator. Findings The experimental results revealed that the proposed method can detect the most reliable supplier accurately in both consistent and oscillating agent environments. Originality/value The authors believe that the proposed model will be beneficial to enhance the fulfillment of purchasing between buyers and suppliers.

An increasing number of faculty advise graduate students prior to and during internship assignments abroad. To be effective in this important task, the advi sor needs to understand the cultural dimensions of work and of internships in particular. The faculty advisor is pivotal to the success of any internship—par ticularly in international settings—and must understand how an interna tional context affects the selection, training, and monitoring of interns and the evaluation of the internships

Abstract:

Many biomedical PhD trainees lack exposure to business principles, which limits their competitiveness and effectiveness in academic and industry careers. To fill this training gap, we developed Business and Management Principles for Scientists, a semester-long program that combined didactic exposure to business fundamentals with practical team-based projects aimed at solving real business problems encountered by institutional shared-resource core facilities. The program also included a retreat featuring presentations by and networking with local life science entrepreneurs and final team presentations to expert judges. Quantitative and qualitative metrics were used to evaluate the program’s impact on trainees. A pretest–posttest approach was used to assess trainees’ baseline knowledge and mastery of module concepts, and each individual’s pretest and posttest responses were compared. The mean score improved by more than 17 percentage points. Trainees also took an online survey to provide feedback about the module. Nearly all participants agreed or strongly agreed that the module was a valuable use of their time and will help guide their career decisions and that project work helped drive home module concepts. More than 75% of trainees reported discussing the module with their research advisors, and all of these participants reported supportive or neutral responses. Collectively, the trainee feedback about the module, improvement in test scores, and trainee perception of advisor support suggest that this short module is an effective method of providing scientists with efficient and meaningful exposure to business concepts.

Abstract:

This paper explores the perceptions of first year Business students to embedding sessions and additional support workshops offered through a collaboration between learning advisors and lecturers in a first year foundational unit. Through a social constructivist lens and utilising action research methods, questionnaires (n=42) were administered to two cohorts of students at the conclusion of the unit in 2011 and 2012 to explore firstly, whether or not they perceived the embedding sessions to be of benefit and, secondly, whether having the learning advisor in the class made them more likely to utilise additional support outside class time. In addition, the researchers sought to explore whether there were any improvements in students’ final results which might be attributable to the academic support offered to them through the embedding sessions. The findings from the quantitative and qualitative data suggest that the students perceived the embedding workshops as having positive effects on their academic literacy skills. Furthermore, there was a slight increase in the number of students that sought additional support outside of class time. However, it appears that the embedding workshops did not lead to an improvement in students’ final marks for the unit and this is an area which requires further investigation.

Abstract:

Purpose Many family businesses do not survive into the second generation. A common reason put forward for this is poor succession planning for the second generation. This paper is designed with the aim to explore the role of the father in supporting the son’s business knowledge and development in Vietnamese family businesses. Design/methodology/approach This research adopted an inductive qualitative approach using multiple face-to-face semi-structured interviews with five father–son succession pairs. The interview participants were a cross section of Vietnamese family businesses, where the father–son pair was involved in the process of business knowledge transfer and the succession process was at an advanced stage. Findings The results suggest that the father plays different roles at different stages of the son’s business knowledge development process. In particular, the father acts as an example during the son’s childhood; a supporter to encourage the son to gain more business knowledge from both formal education and working experience outside the family business; a mentor and trouble-shooter after the son joins the family business as a full-time employee; and as an advisor after the son becomes the leader of the firm. Originality/value Most Vietnamese family businesses are still operating under the control of the first generation, and as a result, research into the succession process in Vietnam can help to provide valuable insights. Furthermore, existing research into the role of the predecessor in the whole process from the successor’s childhood until the end of the succession process is ambiguous and requires further research to clarify this research gap.

Abstract:

In Kosovo conditions for agricultural production are good, climate in the region is close to ideal. However, local agricultural production is relatively low and income from agriculture for the rural population is extremely low. One of the key challenges in developing the agricultural sector and employment within is the knowledge base. Lack of business skills and modern agricultural methods added with practically no access to advisory services is the key barrier for further development of the sector. The aim of this project was to develop Kosovan agriculture through building the capacity of agricultural advisory by constructing a modern curriculum model and developing the advisors’ ability to help farms to develop their entrepreneurship. The steps of the projects were: 1. Building a modern curriculum of agricultural advisory training according to the local needs. 2. Emphasizing the expertize of the advisor students by team working method. 3. Testing the knowledge: real enterprise’s development process and result analysis. 4. Evaluating the project and methods used. The curriculum was built according to the competences defined in four workshops organized for stakeholders in Kosovo. Five competence areas were recognized: Communication skills, Business competence, Development competence, Production competence and Key skills for lifelong learning. Students participating in the training (27) were required to have at least a Bachelor’s degree in agriculture or related fields. The training itself was organized by team training method. The training consisted of lectures, team and independent studying and working as a team with a real farm enterprise advisory case. The team learning process was guided to increase the students’ knowledge of team building in working life. Five student teams identified the main development needs in a real enterprise case and planned a way to realize them. The entrepreneurs were satisfied with the concrete development realized during the project. Both students and stakeholders evaluated the project to be very successful. The students’ satisfaction was evaluated by a web questionnaire and the stakeholders’ satisfaction through six focus group discussions organized in different parts of the country. 90 % of the students found training beneficial for their future career and all students were satisfied with the training. This new training model requires good cooperation among stakeholders but increases capacities of all counterparts. The Finnish agricultural advisory and training knowledge has demand.

Abstract:

Social norms and emotional instincts such as “women and children first” have historically guided judgement and decision making processes in crisis situations. This study simulated emotionally charged, environmental factors (school zones) and an expert drone system in a search and rescue scenario to identify patterns of automation utilization. Participants played a mixed design experimental video game, Search and Rescue, where they had to send search and rescue efforts to various zones (Residential, Industrial, School, and Business) in a city devastated by an earthquake. Participants were randomly assigned an automated advisor system, which varied in accuracy, that made recommendations regarding where to send search and rescue teams. Early in the task, participants were more likely to send rescue efforts to school zones, but were not as likely to do so later in the task, suggesting a practice effect. Factors regarding advisor system utilization and application are discussed.
