Abstract:

<p>During the last 13 years thousands of enterprises were privatized in Russia. However, the Russian state still owns large stakes in many companies, including some of the largest publicly traded enterprises. At the same time the Russian stock market has experienced a tremendous growth during the last several years attracting domestic and foreign investors. These investors can be concerned about the possible “value-effects” of government shareholding. Therefore in this paper I study the impact of state shareholding on corporate value. One of the implications of the “grabbing hand” theory propo

The theme of this research is to establish how South African companies evaluate the benefits of a capital investment, in terms of ERP implementations, to the organisation. The question of whether determinable value can be quantified and the methods used to calculate such value is explored.

Resource acquisitions have added value to resource companies over the past two decades. This stems from the results of this research which has analysed 30 transactions and further reviewed 22 transactions with a total value A$240 billion. However, this figure is dominated by the 1997 BHP Billiton bid for Rio Tinto and if this attempted takeover is excluded from the list, the total value of the transactions analysed is A$60 billion.The consolidation has occurred in three waves since the early 1990s.

Abstract:

The Companies Act 2006 aims to make a significant contribution to the corporate governance system in the UK by embedding in statute the concept of 'enlightened shareholder value'. The Act legally mandates shareholder value but with the proviso that it should be 'enlightened' by two statutes designed to promote an 'inclusive' approach towards the interests of stakeholders and to encourage a long term view to be taken of corporate investment. S.172(1) of the Act places an obligation on directors to 'have regard to' a range of other stakeholder interests in pursuit oftheir general duty 'to promot

Abstract:

Manufacturing companies are increasingly serving customers through valuebased offers by adding and integrating more services in their businesses. Although, manufacturers mainly still use cost-based pricing, many are reconsidering their pricing strategies to capture a fair share of the value they create through value-based offers. Therefore, adopting to value-based pricing (VBP) becomes a necessity when competing value-driven. This study explores the barriers to VBP among servitising industrial manufacturers. Related concepts to VBP, such as value-based selling (VBS) and service-dominant logic

Abstract:

This thesis examines the value creation process and how companies can capture value that they created. It particularly analyses the opportunities a company has to capture value from an innovation. The ability to monetise innovations is crucial for companies and determines whether they can establish a sustainable business. This thesis first discusses previous research and connects theories to broaden and enhance their applicability. The main part is a case study on Uber, a ride-hailing company. In the case study, the company is thoroughly examined and theories which were discussed before

This study investigates the use of derivatives by firms listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) during 2005 to 2017, and the disclosure of derivative financial instruments on the financial statements of these entities. The study can be broadly divided into two parts: the first part investigates the determinants of corporate hedging practices by JSE-listed firms, while the second part analyses the value relevance of derivatives disclosures. The first part of the study thus answers the question ‘Why do companies use derivatives?’ with reference to JSE-listed companies for the period 2005

Full text

Abstract:

Net asset value (NAV) is commonly used to represent the value of a property company. For listed property companies a secondary valuation occurs simultaneously as the company’s stocks are traded on the stock market. Historically, a deviation between the NAV and the market capitalisation has been found for property companies implying that the stock market values the company differently. This thesis examines the deviation to NAV for 14 Swedish listed property companies during 2006-2015. The examination explains the deviation from the basis of a rational and an irrational approach.

Abstract:

This master thesis examines the approaches that can be used to value young biotechnology (biotech) companies. The biotech industry is composed mainly of start-ups that often reach market capitalizations of hundreds of millions, or billions. However, many public-listed biotech companies have negative earnings, or even do not make any revenues. So, how can a company with negative earnings or no revenues be so valuable? The answer is the projects under development. Even though these projects must go through long, and costly developments before being approved for commercialization, they have the p

När det är dåliga ekonomiska tider är det lätt för ledningen i ett företag att skära ner mäss-budgeten eftersom företagen oftast inte har några siffror på vilka fördelar det ger att ställa ut.

Abstract:

The valuation and pricing of stock prices has been a longstanding issue in finance, especially the question of what drives shareholder value. Many finance scholars agree that a share price is composed of future cash flows discounted back to present value by using an estimate of the company's weighted average cost of capital (Black et a1., 2001; Damodaran, 1996; Rappaport, 1998). Rappaport (1986) has set the framework for a broader understanding of this topic and initiated an enduring debate. He proposed a framework of several value drivers, such as sales growth, operating profit margin, and co

Abstract:

In this study of China’s listed companies, we apply a 2SLS fixed effects model in a simultaneous equation system to study the interaction among firm value (Tobin’s Q), managerial ownership, and the largest shareholder’s ownership, controlling for two sources of endogeneity: unobserved firm heterogeneity and the simultaneity problem. We find all three variables are jointly determined under a cross-sectional framework of simultaneous equation analysis. However, when taking into account unobserved firm-specific effects under a panel data framework, we find only that firm value and the largest sha

Abstract:

Fair value accounting for investment property has been mandatory in the EU since the adoption of IFRS 13 and has been both heavily criticized and praised. Previous research suggests that there are some inherent issues with fair value accounting for investment property, such as lacking reliability and persistence of reported unrealized earnings. There is also evidence of unrealized earnings influencing dividends and share price development related to fair value accounting in a procyclical manner. The purpose of this study is to enhance knowledge about whether fair value accounting in listed Nor
