Abstract:

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues are becoming more and more significant for comprehensive evaluation of companies responsible investing activities. Over the years, the growth in corporate responsibility to the society and policies towards environmental consciousness has necessitated the need for comprehensive ESG integration into investment decision-making process and the impact of such activities on company‟s financial performance. Although, studies suggest that there is an increasing trend in ESG considerations among large-cap companies and public investors, little have been

Abstract:

In this paper, I analyze how firm attributes such as their age, industry, nature of industry, spinoff status and debt ratio influence venture-capital financing decision. I look at a sample of 280 firms that went public in the United States between 2015- 2019. This paper finds that firm age and debt are negatively related to the likelihood of being venture-capital backed. It also finds that firms in technology and biotechnology industries are more likely to be backed by a venture-capitalist.

Abstract:

This dissertation includes two chapters that investigate the role venture capitalists (VCs) play in the underpricing and in the long-run performance of IPOs. The first chapter focuses on the underpricing of IPOs and attempts to determine the role that VCs play in this underpricing process. The evidence is consistent with a view that VCs agree to underpricing to ascertain benefits from both "grandstanding" and "spinning." The second chapter examines the long-run performance of IPOs and tries to determine the role that VCs play in the development of IPOs. Here, the evidence suggests that VC-back

Boards of directors are considered to be the lynchpin of corporate governance in Australia (Gillan, 2006) and the roles boards play have been subject to considerable scrutiny and research. It is accepted that boards play multiple roles in governing corporations (Johnson, Daily, & Ellstrand, 1996; Nicholson & Kiel, 2007). However, there is a concern that the current regulatory emphasis on the monitoring and control role does not always lead to optimum corporate governance outcomes (Cohen, Krishnamoorthy, & Wright, 2008; MacAvoy & Millstein, 2004) and that firm performance may be degraded.

Abstract:

This paper investigates whether there is any relationship between ownership characteristics and the goodness of a firm's corporate governance, its capability to attract financial resources and its merit of credit. At the same time, the paper investigates whether capital structure decisions are influenced by corporate governance mechanisms. Ten different Developed Countries are considered. We found out that: i) despite some occasional similarities in terms of corporate governance and ownership characteristics among the ten countries included in our sample, still many differences exists; ii) at

Abstract:

This study aims to demonstrate how different country and industry-level variables affect the value-creating abilities of CSR initiatives. It contributes to the growing body of literature about CSR as it directly compares the moderating effects of the quality of country-level institutions with the moderating effects of the respective industry sector. The study amongst 3,670 firms in a sample period from 2006-2014 shows that CSR initiatives have a superior value-creating ability in environments with weak capital markets and country governance standards. Firms in controversial industry sectors ha

Abstract:

许多学者研究了多元化与企业绩效的关系（多元化-绩效关系），结论是形形色色，互相矛盾的。根据我在中国的田野调查，我相信多元化与组织绩效间的模糊关系能够通过考虑人力知识资本在其间的作用较好地解决。依据资源基础理论（RBV），我认为企业的多元化战略可以影响人力知识资本，然后由人力知识资本影响绩效。如果企业实施多元化战略不能提高人力知识资本，多元化-绩效关系的效应则可能不显著，甚至会是负相关。所有这些将能够从中国企业的数据中得到检验。因此，使用中国上市的制造企业样本，我实证研究多元化、人力知识资本与企业绩效的关系。实证研究表明人力知识资本是多元化与绩效的重要传导机制，这个结果对理论研究者和企业管理者都具有重要意义。一方面从资源基础论的理论角度看，多元化显著影响人力知识资本，人力知识资本又显著影响企业绩效。另一方面从企业管理实践看，在当前的经济发展阶段，中国制造业尚处于规模化和低成本竞争策略层次，产品开发的关键技术以引进国外先进成果为主，缺乏核心技术研发投入，盈利能力偏弱，发展受制于人，急需加强研发人才队伍的建设，提升中国制造业在国际上的整体竞争力。The relationship between diversification and firm performance (diversification-performance relationship) has been studied

Abstract:

Using public support as the baseline, the aim of the Ph.D. thesis is firstly to assess its effectiveness in alleviating firms’ financing constraints (Chapter 2) and in enhancing the innovation-growth linkage (Chapter 5), in comparison with other financing sources. Secondly, the research undertaken also explores public policy effectiveness in two periods of time: ex-ante and ex-post analysis. In the former, effectiveness is assessed according to whether the characteristics of the project selected for the subsidy are in line with the policy targets (Chapter 3). In turn, the ex-post analysis asse

Abstract:

This paper investigates the effects of going public on firm innovation by comparing the innovation activities of firms that go public with firms that choose to not undergo an initial public offering (IPO) and remain privately held. Going public here is a transformation of a privately held firm into a public firm, i.e. the first time for the firm to publicly trade in stock markets. The combination of a propensity score matching (PSM) and a difference-in-difference (DiD) methods are adopted to measure the innovation trends in terms of patent applications. Using the patent-based metric, firm inno

Abstract:

Cette thèse aborde l’impact du private equity sur la gouvernance des entreprises (chapitres 1 et 2) et les déterminants du capital risque (chapitre 3). Les deux premiers chapitres examinent les changements que les capital-investisseurs introduisent dans la gouvernance des entreprises (en termes de remplacement du dirigeant) suite à une opération Public-to-Private. Les résultats empiriques montrent que (i) les entreprises soutenues par private equity exercent un suivi plus actif et sont plus susceptibles de licencier le dirigeant que les compagnies cotées (chapitre 1) (ii) les entreprises soute

Abstract:

Cette thèse, en portant une attention particulière sur les entreprises familiales turques et par l'utilisation d'une approche fondée sur la théorie de l'agence, a pour objectif de mettre en lumière les implications du capital familial sur la performance, la distribution de dividendes et les avoirs étrangers. Elle étudie premièrement en s'appuyant sur une méta-analyse, la relation entre l'impact net du capital familial sur la performance de l'entreprise et l'effet de modérateurs sur cette relation. Ensuite, elle examine si, en Turquie, le capital familial comble ou profite des lacunes instituti
