This paper aims to analyze whether company characteristics are potential determinants of human resource accounting (HRA) disclosure practices by Vietnamese listed companies. It examines the human resource disclosure level of 204 companies by content analysis of these companies' annual reports. The study has relied on a multiple linear regression to test the association between a number of corporate attributes and the extent of human resource disclosure in companies' annual reports. The extent of human resource disclosure was measured using unweighted human resource disclosure index. The explanatory variables considered in this study were firm size, firm age, profitability, leverage, industry profile, and auditor type. The results revealed that the most influential variable for explaining firms' variation in human resource disclosure is firm size followed by firm age and profitability. Thus, it can be concluded that firm size, firm age and profitability are major predictors that may affect the variety of HRA disclosure practices on firms listed in the Vietnam Stock Exchange. However, neither industry profile nor auditor type seems to explain differences in human resource disclosure practices between Vietnamese listed firms, indicating that company's industry profile and auditor type are not a matter for the company to disclose HRA information.

The purpose of this study was to test the discriminant analysis model of Quick Response system and to examine the detailed relationship between each discriminant factor and Quick Response adoption. In this discriminant analysis model of Quick Response system, firm size, strategic type, product category, fashion trend, selling time and the Quick Response benefits were included as discriminant factors. Onehundred and two subjects were randomly selected for the survey study and discriminant analysis, descriptive analysis, t-test, and x square test were used for the data analysis. The results of this study were: 1. Wilks Lambda and F value support the discriminant analysis model that, taken together firm size, strategic type, product category, fashion trend, selling time and the Quick Response benefits significantly help to explain Quick Response adoption. 2. The importance of discriminant ability was, in order, firm size, the Quick Response benefits, women's wear, fashion trend, analyzer, selling time, reactor, defender and men's wear. 3. The discriminant function had the high hit ratio, so this can be well used for the classification of Quick Response adoption/nonadoption.

해운기업의 경우 선박과 같은 설비자산에 대한 타인자본의존도가 높아 자본구조를 포함한 재무건전성에 대한 관리가 여타 산업에 비해 높은 특징을 가지고 있다. 아울러 선박과 같은 자산의 확보에 거대 자본이 소요되는 만큼 조달비용을 포함한 자본비용과 장기지불능력을 동시에 고려해야 하는 특징도 가지고 있다. 즉, 투자에 따라 창출될 미래현금흐름이 자본비용뿐만 아니라 장기부채비용까지 보존되어야하는 것이다. 이를 바탕으로 본 연구는 타인자본조달이 중요한 해운기업들을 대상으로 부채 및 기업특성변수와 기업의 투자활동과의 관련성을 알아보고자 하였으며, 자산대비 부채비율, 부채만기, 금융비용 부담률이 해운기업의 투자활동 현금흐름과 관련성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 아울러 부채가 증가할수록 투자활동현금흐름이 위축되는 결과를 보여주었으며, 기업규모가 작고 경기가 불황일수록 자본의 조달비용측면에 더욱 민감한 것으로 분석되었다. 반면 기업규모가 크고 상대적으로 호황일수록 자본조달비용측면보다는 자본구조에 더 민감한 나타났다. 결국 해운기업의 경우 부채관련 요인이 주요한 투자활동 변수임과 동시에 기업규모와 경기변화에 따라 투자의사결정요인이 다른 양상을 가짐을 시사해주고 있다.

해운물류기업들의 유동성문제는 지속적으로 제기되어 왔으며, 유동성위기 극복을 위한 자산매각, 구조조정 등 기업들의 자구책뿐만 아니라, 다양한 형태의 정책적 지원방안도 마련되고 있는 상황이다. 하지만, 여전히 유동성위기에 대한 어려움이 산업전반에 걸쳐 내재된 상태이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 해운물류기업들의 유동성과 현금보유수준에 대해 살펴보고, 그 결정요인들을 실증해봄으로써 해운물류기업들의 유동성 극복을 위한 재무적 의사결정 정보를 제공해보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 2005년 이후 38개 해운물류기업들을 대상으로 연구를 수행하였다. 연구의 수행결과 현금보유규모측면에서는, 일반제조업 대비 큰 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 매출액대비 원가는 지속적으로 상승하였으며, 2009년 이후부터는 판관비를 포함한 매출원가가 매출규모를 상회함으로써 수익성이 급격히 하락하는 것으로 나타났다. 현금보유수준 결정요인분석결과에서는 부채만기, 선박규모, 이자비용, 성장기회 등이 주된 결정요인 것으로 나타났다. 결정요인별 추가분석에서는 결정요인에서 다소 차이를 보여주었다. 부채만기가 높은 집단에서는 성장기회와 현금흐름이, 낮은 집단에서는 기업 및 선박규모가 결정요인으로 분석되었다. 또한 자산대비 선박규모가 클 경우 성장기회, 현금흐름 등이, 낮을 경우 이자비용, 선박규모 등의 유의한 변수로 분석되었다. 이자비용부담이 낮은 집단에서는 성장기회가 추가적으로 유의하게 나타났다.

This paper empirically investigates the impact of winning a quality award by investigating the rate of return of a firm's stock in the stock market, and by analyzing the contribution and effectiveness to a firm's competitiveness. It also compares the effect of firms winning MB(Malcolm Baldrige) award with that of firms winning Korean quality awards on the stock market. A comparative method is used to analyze the change of award-winning firms'rate of return and then they are classified by time-series, cross-sectional, firm's size, award agency, and the year of receiving the award. The number of firms employed in this study is 74, however, multiple award-winning firms are included in the analysis, which increased the sample size to 118. Results indicate that Korean quality awards improve an award-winning firms'market value but not as much as the MB award did.

This paper investigates how firm age, size and ownership are related with job creation and destruction, and how these patterns differ across transition and non-transition economies. The analysis finds that age is inversely related with gross job creation and net job creation in the two samples. This finding is consistent with the theory of the learning effect. The relationship between age and job destruction is indifferent in non-transition economies. On the contrary, old firms in transition economies destroy more jobs than young ones. The paper further establishes an inverse relationship between size and gross job creation in the two groups. However, there is divergence between the two samples; small firms in non-transition economies also exhibit a higher gross job destruction rate. Consequently large firms have a higher net job creation rate. In transition economies, small and large firms exhibit similar rates of job destruction. But small firms retain a higher net job creation rate. A more intriguing finding is that state owned firms do not underperform domestic private ones. This means these countries may be using soft budget constraint which allows state owned firms to overstaff. Finally, crowding out of SMEs by foreign owned firms is not evident in transition economies.

This study aims to examine the effect of environmental performance, independent board of commissioners, and firm size on environmental disclosure measured by the Indonesian environmental index. The population in this study is manufacturing and coal mining companies that follow "PROPER" and are listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2017 to 2019. This research was conducted by reviewing annual reports to collect information on environmental disclosures. The sampling used in this study was purposive sampling technique and obtained a sample of 117. Also, the data analysis technique used was multiple linear regression analysis with statistical hypothesis testing. The results showed that environmental performance and firm size had a positive effect on financial performance. Meanwhile, the independent board of commissioners does not affect financial performance. Furthermore, environmental performance, firm size, and financial performance have a positive effect on environmental disclosure. While the independent board of commissioners does not affect environmental disclosure. The findings of this research suggest that environmental performance has a significant positive effect on financial performance. The hypothesis is accepted, meaning that companies that are sensitive to environmental problems and run eco-efficiency operations will strengthen the company's profitability.

Over the last few decades, corporate frauds have highlighted the significance of corporate governance in deriving firm performance. By using different sample data, extensive research has examined how corporate governance structure influences firm's profitability, but limited research was undertaken on the banking sector of Pakistan. This research adds to the literature by testing how board structure derives bank's performance by using sample data of 19 banks for the period from 2010 to 2017. In addition, the study analyzes the controlling part of size on the link between board governance and bank performance. Findings reveal that banks having small board size, fewer non-executive directors and minimum activity level perform better. Analysis related to bank size illustrates that board size has value in increasing benefits in large size banks in contrast to small size one, while higher participation by board members enhances performance of small size banks more. The correlation results and findings showed that there existed no multicollinearity issue between independent variables. Board size showed positive correlation with the market variable, while board activity tended to correlated negatively with the market performance. Inverse correlation between board size and independent directors indicated that Pakistani banks with greater board size had fewer independent directors.

This paper investigates the impact of working capital management on the firm's profitability. The research sample includes 119 non-financial listed companies on Vietnam stock market over a period of 9 years from 2010 to 2018. Two statistical approaches include Ordinary least squares (OLS) and fixed effects model (FEM) are employed to address econometric issues and to improve the accuracy of the regression coefficients. The empirical results show the negative and significant impacts of the working capital management, which measured by cash conversion cycle (CCC) and three components of the CCC including accounts receivable turnover in days (ARD), inventory turnover in days (INVD), and accounts payable turnover in days (APD) on the firm's profitability measured by return on assets (ROA) and Tobin's Q. It implies that firms can increase profitability by keeping the optimization of the working capital management measured by the CCC, which includes shortening the time to collect money from clients, accelerating inventory flow and hold the low payment time to creditors. Besides, the profitability of firms was impacted by the sale growth rate, firm size, leverage, and age. Therefore, this paper provides a new insight to managers on how to improve the firm's profitability with working capital management.
