The landscape of corporate reporting is changing quickly. The concepts, elements and principles that characterize the way organizations plan, manage and report their annual performances are currently being questioned, debated, and redesigned throughout the world. However, widening the scope of corporate performance and reporting is a major issue. Research needs to bridge the gap between social and financial performance by considering corporate performance in a wider perspective. At base, IR is a relatively new but powerful idea: enhancing the way organizations think, plan and report the story of their business. Organizations are using IR to communicate a clear, concise, integrated story that explains how all of their resources are creating value. This paper examines the rise of what has been widely claimed to represent a new and striking future for corporate reporting, namely the notion of "Integrated Reporting" (IR). Unfortunately, there is poor empirical research work undertaken which has focused on published integrated reports. This research study provides initial analysis of the content and structure of the corporate integrated reports published in 2013 and available on the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC) Emerging Examples Database. As part of this study, Integrated Reports were analyzed for company information, report information and report content. Moreover, they were also evaluated as to the extent these adhered to the integrated reporting (IR) Guiding Principles, Content Elements, and the multiple capitals model. Findings of this study indicate that "early integrated reports were mostly lengthy, fail to adhere to all the guiding principles, and covered four of the six capitals suggested." At present, no universally accepted global framework for IR exists and it is still largely a voluntary practice. We believe that IR of both financial and non-financial performance should be made mandatory, and it should become a universal practice for all the global listed companies within the next 5-10 years.

Purpose: Corporate management is under pressure to contribute to social values beyond profit-seeking, and interest in ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) is increasing worldwide. In the recent global climate change crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic, the importance of non-financial values such as ESG is increasing. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to prepare a strategy for future ESG management activities by analyzing the impact of it on corporate performance by food companies. Research design, data and methodology: ESG-related research trends, ESG activities, and corporate performance were analyzed. After that, a regression analysis was conducted to identify the relationship between ESG evaluation grade and corporate performance. Result: ESG management activities measured by ESG scores did not significantly affect the return on assets, one of the variables of corporate performance. However, as a result of setting the return on equity as a dependent variable, ESG management activities have a nonlinear relationship with corporate performance, and ESG management activities have a positive effect on corporate performance when investment in ESG management activities is reasonable. Conclusions: These results show that food companies should engage in an appropriate level of ESG management activities to improve corporate performance.

This study attempted to determine the influence of organizational structure on the novelty preference for corporate meeting destination choice. The three dimensions of structure incorporated were formalization, centralization and complexity. A total of 75 corporate meeting planners drawn from public listed services organizations were involved. The main method of data collection was questionnaire survey and multiple regression analysis was employed as the main statistical technique. The results revealed that both formalization and centralization were negatively correlated with novelty preference while complexity was positively correlated. However, only complexity contributed significantly to the prediction of novelty preference for corporate meeting destination choice. The main implication of this study is pertaining to the segmentation and targeting of the corporate meeting market. This study helped in bridging the gap between tourism marketing and organizational research. It also contributed by developing the measurement for novelty preference from the context of experiential marketing.

Global rating agencies, such as Moody's and S&P, have assigned credit ratings to corporate bonds issued by Japanese firms since 1980s. Local Japanese rating agencies, such as R&I and JCR, have more market share than the global raters. We examine the yield spreads of 1,050 yen-denominated corporate bonds issued by financial firms in Japan from 1998 to 2014 and find no evidence that bonds rated by at least one global agency are associated with a significant reduction in the cost of debt as compared to those rated by only local rating agencies. Unlike non-financial firms, the reputation effect of global rating agencies does not exist for Japanese financial firms. We also observe that firms with less information asymmetry are more likely to acquire ratings from Moody's or S&P. Additionally, the firm's financial profile does not affect its choice to seek out ratings from global raters. Our findings are contradictory to those by Han, Pagano, and Shin (2012), who employ bonds issued by non-financial firms in Japan. Our conjecture is that the asymmetric nature of financial firms makes investors less likely to depend on a credit risk assessment by rating agencies in determining the yields of new bonds.

This study aimed to examine the effect of corporate characteristics, including the industrial sector and scale of operation, financial leverage, profitability, operating period, and social reputation, on socio-ecological responsibility based on Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards. The study was conducted in the Indonesian context. A total of 90 public companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange were selected as samples, with an observation period of 10 years. A univariate regression analysis was applied to test the hypotheses. The results showed that the industrial sector, scale of operation, financial leverage, profitability, operating period, and social reputation of the corporate had a positive effect on socio-ecological responsibility. This study also obtained evidence that there were differences in the level of socio-ecological responsibility among the industrial sectors. The higher the relationship between the industrial sector and the possibility of the emergence of social and environmental issues, the higher the level of corporate socio-ecological responsibility. From a policy perspective, the implication of the results of this study was that it could be used as a consideration by the authorities or regulators in Indonesia, particularly the Financial Services Authority (OJK), in determining specific indicators of socio-ecological responsibility that must be carried out by corporates.

This research aims to examine (1) the effect of carbon emission disclosure on firm value, (2) the effect of good corporate governance on firm value, (3) the mediating role of financial performance between carbon emission disclosure and firm value, and (4) the mediating role of financial performance between good corporate governance and firm value. The research sample includes 43 mining, agro, and manufacturing firms listed in the Indonesian Stock Exchange over the 2015-2017 period. Carbon emission disclosure is measured by an indicator of the Global Reporting Initiative Series of Environmental Aspect. Good corporate governance is measured by the corporate governance score of shareholder rights, boards of directors, outside directors, audit committee and internal auditor, and disclosure to investors. Financial performance is measured by return on assets, while firm value is measured by Tobin's Q. Data analysis uses the structural equation modeling. The result shows carbon emission disclosure and good corporate governance have no direct effect on firm value. On the other hand, financial performance mediates the effect of carbon emission disclosure and good corporate governance on firm value. It shows that higher carbon emission disclosure and good corporate governance are meaningless for the investor if they do not give any financial performance improvement.

신뢰와 고객충성도의 관계에 대한 선행연구들에 따르면, 현지 진출한 다국적기업들은 현지 소비자들의 신뢰를 얻음으로써 고객충성도를 강화할 수 있다. 본 연구는 한국에 진출한 다국적기업의 제품특성, 제품관련 서비스 커뮤니케이션, 지각된 가격공정성 등이 다국적기업 제품신뢰에 어떤 영향을 미치는지를 분석함으로써 다국적기업 제품신뢰의 선행요인을 탐색하고자 하였다. 또한 글로벌 기업시민주의가 전 세계적으로 점점 요구되고 있는 현실에서 현지에 진출한 다국적기업이 기업시민으로서 사회적 책임을 다한다는 인식을 확보한다면 제품에 대한 신뢰형성에도 기여할 것으로 본다. 이러한 맥락에서 글로벌 기업시민주의가 신뢰와 그 선행요인간 관계를 조절할 것인지에 대한 분석을 함께 하였다. 조절 회귀분석을 통하여 가설을 검증한 결과, 다국적기업 제품신뢰에 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미치는 선행요인은 제품과 서비스 커뮤니케이션으로 나타났다. 제품관련 서비스 커뮤니케이션이 신뢰에 더 큰 영향력 요인이었다. 현지 소비자들은 다국적기업이 제공한 제품과 서비스에 대하여 신뢰를 하고 있다고 판단되므로 다국적기업들은 제품과 서비스로 이루어진 기업의 제품전략과 신뢰를 연계하고 소비자의 신뢰를 증진함으로써 고객충성도를 강화할 수 있도록 전략을 수립하여야 한다. 한편, 가격공정성 지각 가설은 기각되었으나 가격공정성 지각과 신뢰와의 관계에 글로벌 기업시민주의의 조절효과가 통계적으로 유의하게 나타났다. 이는 지각된 가격공정성은 다국적기업의 기업시민주의활동을 통해 선량한 기업으로 소비자에게 인지됨으로써 그 기업 제품에 대한 신뢰를 확보할 수 있음을 제시하는 것이다.

본 연구에서는 국제벤처기업의 국제화에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 체계화하고, 각 요인의 상대적 중요성을 분석하고자 하였다. 또한, 점진적으로 국제화 과정을 거치는 전통적 기업들과 태생적 국제 벤처기업의 장애요인에 대한 우선순위 차이를 파악하고자 하였으며, 이를 통해 태생적 국제 벤처기업에게 경쟁력을 확보할 수 있는 기초정보를 제공하고자 하였다. 연구방법은 우선순위를 분석하기 위하여 AHP(의사결정 계층 분석 방법)으로 실시하였다. 분석 대상은 각 기업의 국제진출 관련 의사결정권자인 임원들을 대상으로 실시하였으며, 태생적 국제벤처기업 15부, 점진적 수출기업 15부로 각각 조사 하였다. 연구 결과, 1차 장애요인으로 환경 관련 장애요인이 국제화의 가장 큰 장애요소로 인식하고 있었으며, 그 다음으로 기업 관련 장애요인, 경영자 관련 장애요인 순으로 중요성을 인식하고 있다는 점을 확인하였다. 2차 장애요인을 살펴본 결과, 기업관련 장애요인 중 전반적으로 마케팅 역량부족이 가장 큰 장애요인으로 인식하였으며, 이는 점진적 국제 벤처기업 및 태생적 국제 벤처기업 모두 동일하게 나타나고 있다. 그러나 점진적 국제 벤처기업의 경우, 사업실행의 지나친 위험성을 장애요인으로 인식하고 있지만, 태생적 벤처기업의 경우 기술정보 및 R&D 역량의 부족을 장애요인으로 인식하고 있다. 본 연구의 결과는 장애요인을 극복함에 있어서 환경적요인과 기업요인의 결합성이 매우 중요하다는 시사점을 제공하고 있으며, 단순히 내부의 마케팅역량을 강화하는 것만이 국제 벤처기업의 장애요소를 해결하는 것은 아니라는 점이다.
