Abstract:

This thesis examines the relationship between tax-loss selling (TLS), where investors with taxable gains sell stocks that have declined in value just before the fiscal year-end to generate offsetting tax losses, and managers?? incentives to influence stock prices, either through increased disclosure or by engaging in upwards earnings management. Firms whose stock prices represent greater potential tax losses in investors?? portfolios at year-end are predicted to increase their disclosure level in June to prevent further share price falls due to TLS, and have higher levels of accruals.

Abstract:

Upper-echelons theory has been an extremely active stream of research for over two-decades and, as a counterbalance to the population ecology perspective, has provided evidence to support the position that managers influence firm outcomes. Upper-echelons theory posits that, as managers are boundedly rational and selectively perceptive, a behavioural component derived from their idiosyncratic characteristics should be evident in organisation outcomes. While extensive research has found support for these posited relationships, the operationalisation process subsumes the presumed micro psychologi

Abstract:

The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze how managerial discretion is influenced by the environment and, thereby, increase the theoretical knowledge of the concept. Hambrick and Finkelstein (1987) introduced environment as a level affecting managerial discretion. However, the authors only discussed it in an industry context. Moreover, in this dissertation we developed the environmental level by adding two more contexts. Thereby, a theoretical input –and output model were created. These include three environmental sublevels: Industry characteristics, public sector and transition economy.

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.

Med ökade kapitalkrav och en förbättrad riskhantering hos bankerna har Baselkommittén som mål att de tidigare bristerna med regelverket inte ska upprepas. Detta har medfört stora interna organisatoriska förändringar för bankerna. Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka hur finanskris

Abstract:

This dissertation addresses the question of effective delegation, exploring it through the concept of managerial discretion (i.e., a latitude of managerial actions, which lie in the zone of shareholders’ acceptance). While the corporate governance perspective on managerial discretion focuses mainly on the costs associated with delegation, the strategic management perspective emphasizes its benefits in creating value for the firm. Building on research in corporate governance and strategic management, this dissertation develops and empirically tests a theoretical framework that explains how the

Abstract:

This thesis examines cross-cultural differences in managerial discretion and the extent to which variations in inter- and intra-cultural practices affect the degree of freedom in decision-making that is afforded to executives. Research into the degree of discretion, or ‘latitude’ of executive action, has primarily focused on individual-, firm-, and industry-level factors which, either enable or otherwise constrain the freedom of executive action. However, research into its national-level antecedents and consequences remains limited. This thesis further develops and extends the extant literatur

Abstract:

One of the most conspicuous features of mergers is that they come in waves that are correlated with increases in share prices and price/earnings ratios. We use a natural way to discriminate between pure stock market influences on firm decisions and other influences by examining merger patterns for both listed and unlisted firms. If "real" changes in the economy drive merger waves, as some neoclassical theories of mergers predict, both listed and unlisted firms should experience waves. We find significant differences between listed and unlisted firms as predicted by behavioral theories of

Traditionally, employment advice and guidance services in the UK have occupied distinct realms despite government efforts to align and integrate the education and skills and welfare-to-work frameworks.

L’influence des dirigeants sur la performance (ou contre-performance) de la firme fait l’objet de nombreux débats. Selon la vision déterministe, les pressions internes et externes qui s’exercent sur le dirigeant sont si importantes que ce dernier dispose de très peu de marge de manoeuvre pour influencer les résultats de la firme. D’un autre côté, selon les partisans de l’école du leadership, le dirigeant est l’unique architecte de l’entreprise et c’est à lui qu’incombe la performance de l’entreprise.
