Abstract:

The subject matter of the thesis is the study of managerial incentive schemes for public enterprises. The problem of incentives and control is characterized in Chapter I stressing asymmetric information and preferences between principal (Minister) and agent (Manager). Chapter II reconsiders the findings of some previous works on the use of simple mechanisms under certainty and it shows that incentive problems may be solved with a pure-rent type contract. One of the parameters of the contract (profit-sharing ratio) is central to the enforcement of 'managerial' efficiency while the relative weig

Abstract:

The theoretical construct of control has been defined as necessary (Etzioni, 1965), ubiquitous (Vickers, 1967), and on-going (E. Langer, 1983). Empirical measures, however, have not adequately given meaning to this potent construct, especially within complex organizations such as schools. Four stages of theory-development and empirical testing of school building managerial control using principals and teachers working within the nation's fourth largest district are presented in this dissertation as follows: (1) a review and synthesis of social science theories of control across the literatures

Abstract:

The thesis examines the implications of the CEO’s psychological traits on firm outcomes in the market for corporate control. Employing a novel measure of the three facets of overconfidence (overestimation, overplacement and overprecision) using CEOs’ spoken words in interviews, I argue and find overconfidence to be significantly associated with M&A deal activity and outcomes. Specifically, CEO overconfidence leads to higher deal activity but lower deal completion and lower acquirer long-term stock performance. CEO power (Duality) strengthens this relationship.

Secondly, an examination of a range of strategic and organisational variables within a contingency framework may provide more powerful insight into what contributes to an effective competitive strategy.

Abstract:

Accounting numbers are not only the products of peripheral economic events, but, by and large, can be consciously influenced from the effects of calculated business decisions and the selective applications of alternative reporting procedures. In academic parlance, the term accounting quality, or lack thereof, is often used to describe the extent to which these convoluting influences create a disparity between economic fundamentals and their numerical portrayal.

Recent debates, on changing forms of managerial control and work organisation, have often neglected the ways in which control systems are implemented and sustained in different contexts. The study makes a contribution, through presenting comparative case studies, of how managerial control systems are introduced and adapted within specific organisations. Through this approach it has been possible to identify similarities and differences in how control systems may be implemented and their outcomes across different contexts. The study presented focuses on specific areas that have been empirically

Background: The literature has traditionally seen shirking as a negative phenomenon that leads to the productivity loss of individuals and organizations and thus has to be confronted with the help of control in the form of monitoring.

Management control (MC) is a behavioural issue. Senior managers seek to align managerial endeavours with the organisation’s objectives. Traditionally, alignment has focused on seeking to ensure that managers support organisational aims by motivating, rewarding, and even monitoring, the achievement of assigned targets. MC was originally mainly about financial targets, before broadening to include nonfinancial performance measures. However, there is evidence to suggest that organisations may also seek to align managerial “values” with those of the organisation. Organisational attempts to influen

Abstract:

Literature on the divorce of ownership from control has emphasised the declining proportion of shares owned by salaried managers who control large companies.
