We investigate the long-term effect of servitization strategy on firm value. Manufacturing companies recognize servitization as their competitive strategies. While most of existing literature have focused on developing theory, presenting framework, or cases, only a few papers examine effects of servitization strategy empirically. We aims to empirically test the long-term relationship between servitization strategy and firm value. Service ratio and Tobin's q are used to measure the degree of servitization and firm performance, respectively. Data set covers 130 manufacturing companies for 12 years from 1998 to 2009.

After the year of 2000, compositions of stock holders in domestic firms are rapidly changing. In domestic stock market, the proportion of market value held by foreign investors reaches over 40%. There are several blue chip companies among those where foreign investors hold more than 50% of the stocks. There are still hot debates going on about whether the increase in the number of foreign investors contributes to domestic companies. This research attempted to determine foreign ownership increases enhance firm value empirically. It has been shown that foreign ownership variable has significant positive impact on Tobin's Q of firm value variable. The result suggests that foreign ownership increases in domestic corporations positively contribute to firm value, as they monitor and keep the management transparent as an institutional investor, and they work to soothe agency problems by the managements or the large stock holders.

Investment in research and development (R&D) is critical in the information technology (IT) firms, where newer and better technology is a quintessential goal that directly affects innovation and competitive advantage. This study investigates how R&D investment influences firm performance and value, and how the effect of R&D investment differs between IT hardware and software firms. We also analyze the relationship between firm age and R&D investment in order to identify learning effects on continuous R&D investment. The empirical investigation in this study, based on longitudinal archival data from 2001 to 2010, found a significant effect of R&D investment on firm performance in IT firms. Further, this study demonstrates causal relationship between firm age, and verifies that learning effects are present in R&D investment. Moreover, the results are found to differ between IT hardware and IT software firms.

An increasing number of studies have examined the effects of corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities on corporate financial performance (CFP) in the service industry. However, the extant literature does not provide comprehensive insights into the conditions on which the CSR-CFP link relies. In this study, firms' marketing communication capability (MCC) is introduced as an important contingency variable, which determines the effects of CSR on the corporate financial performance, in the context of restaurant businesses. Multiple year data on the spending of public restaurant chains on different media are collected, and MCC is subsequently measured using the data envelope analysis. Then, a test is conducted to prove whether MCC moderates the relationship between CSR and firm financial performance. The empirical results support the hypothesis that MCC strengthens the effect of CSR on CFP. Through the findings, this research provides several interesting and important implications to the literature and managers of service firms.

This study employs data from CRSP/Compustat files for the period from 2003 to 2017 and applies a panel data analysis. The results of this study show a positive relationship between trade credit and the firm's market value, however, the results show a negative relationship if we test the impact of financial credit on the firm's market value. The results have direct policy implications for investors, the firm's management, and financial strategy. An implication of our study is that using trade credit as a source of financing may give a positive signal of the firm's creditworthiness and increase the firm's market value. Also, the results of our study indicate that the benefits of using trade credit may outperform the cost of using it as a source of finance. Prior studies examine the impact of financial leverage on the firm's value, however, this study contributes to the existing studies that examine the factors that affect the firm's market value by examining the impact of using trade credit finance on the firm's market value. The main limitation of this study is that the results are based on listed firms, using data from unlisted firms is not available.

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.

Purpose - This study starts with the question of whether the capital market is likely to give positive valuations to companies that pursue diversity in their management and corporate governance structure. In this study, minority gender identity is considered as a diversity issue in management that has a socially negative perception. Design/methodology/approach - This study analyzed the relationship between corporate value in the capital market and the policies of companies that advocated minority gender identities, based on listed U.S. company data. Findings - This study finds that companies that support minority gender identities had a lower Tobin's q value than companies that did not. However, in the case of authenticity in terms of corporate governance diversity, the study finds that companies that advocate minority gender identities rather receive high firm valuation. In particular, companies with a high percentage of female directors show high corporate value even when implementing policies that support minority gender identities. Research implications or Originality - This study explores the capital market's response to diversity using past data in the U.S., but provides more practical implications for how companies should respond to a situation where an advocacy policy, based on more social recognition, for LGBT groups is established in Korea.

본 연구에서는 대주주의 소유구조와 기업가치 간의 관계에 대해 분석하였다. 특히 대주주의 대리인비용 발생이 의심되는 최대주주와 상장기업 간의 내부거래인 연계거래가 발생한 기업과 대기업집단 소속기업의 대주주 소유구조가 기업가치에 미치는 영향이 어떠한가를 검토하였다. 분석기간은 기업지배구조 개선조치가 활발하게 추진된 2001년 이후로 설정하였다. 대주주 소유구조와 Tobin's Q를 대용변수로 하여 측정한 기업가치 간의 관계를 분석한 결과를 검증가설의 지지 여부와 결부시켜 정리하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 대주주 소유구조 및 연계거래, 그룹소속 여부와 기업가치 간의 관계를 분석한 결과, 대주주의 배임가설, 대기업집단의 배임가중 가설을 지지하는 결과가 나타났다. 대주주지분율이나 소유괴리도가 기업가치에 미치는 부정적 영향은 그룹소속과 상관없이, 연계거래가 있는 샘플에서 통계적으로 유의한 것으로 나왔다. 둘째, 대주주지분을 및 소유괴리도 구간별로 기업가치와의 관계를 검증해 본 결과, 대주주지분율과 기업가치 간에, 그리고 소유괴리도와 기업가치 간에 각각 역U자형 패턴을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 과거 국내연구에서 절충가설을 지지하는 결과로서 보고된 U자형 관계와 차이가 나는 상반된 결과이다. 대주주지분율과 기업가치 간의 역U자형 패턴이 전체 샘플 및 그룹소속 여부나 연계거래 유무와 상관없이 일관되게 나타났다. 대주주지분율이 증가할수록 기업가치가 증가하다가 15-25% 수준이상에서부터 감소하는 비선형 관계가 통계적으로 유의하게 존재하는 것으로 관찰되었다. 한편, 외국인지분율과 기업가치 간에는 대체로 선형적인 (+) 관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 전체샘플에서는 15% 이상, '비 그룹소속 기업'에서는 20% 이상 수준에서, '연계거래가 있는 기업'의경우에서는 25% 이상 수준에서부터, 외국인지분율과 기업가치 간에 통계적으로 유의한 선형적인(+) 관계가 관찰되었다. 이는 기존의 외국인투자자의 적극적 감시가설을 지지하는 결과와 부합하는 것이다.

기업 경영자는 매년 지출하는 광고비가 고객만족을 높이고, 개선된 고객만족이 장기적으로기업에 이득을 가져올 수 있는 투자인지 알고 싶어한다. 경영자가 광고 지출수준을 결정할 때 소비자의 고객만족과 관련된 측면을 중요하게 고려하면서도, 궁극적으로 투자자가 중시하는 수익성과 기업가치에 역점을 두고 평가할 것이다. 본 논문은 1998년 외환위기 이후 17년간한국 대표기업의 범산업적 종단 데이터를 사용하여, 광고비 지출이 브랜드 애호도에, 그리고 재무성과에 미치는 장기적인 효과를 다각도로 검토한다. 구체적으로 국내기업의 광고비 지출비율이 고객만족 결과요인인 브랜드 애호도에 미치는 효과를 살펴보고, 브랜드 애호도가 재무성과(수익성, 기업가치)에 미치는 효과를 산업별로 실증적으로 분석하였다. 국내기업 184개사의 1998년부터 2014년까지(17년간) 패널데이터를 분석한 결과, 제조업에서는 유의한 결과를 발견하지 못했으나, 서비스 기업의 광고 활동(광고 수준)은 마케팅 지표에 긍정적 영향을 미치고, 브랜드 애호도는 수익성지표(ROA, ROE)와 기업가치 지표(Tobin's q)에 긍정적인 효과를 주는 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 본 연구결과를 요약하면, 서비스 기업 경영자는 기업의 현재와 미래성과를 고려하여 소비자에게 긍정적인 영향을 주는 광고수준을 결정하고, 이를 통해 개선된 애호도는 기업수익성을 높이고, 또한 투자자에게 긍정적인 영향을 주어 기업가치를 높이고 있음을 보여준다.

This study is an attempt to explore the nature and characteristics of strategic impact of green strategy by environmental capital, corporate reputation, and technology strengths on the firm's performance across countries. The main question addressed in this paper relates to how corporate sustainability, corporate reputation, technology strength, and capabilities influence the firm's economic performance with respect to diverse dimensions of performance measures including sustained growth through the leading firms across countries in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia-Pacific countries. Particularly, this study attempts to empirically explore the directions and magnitudes of the operational links between new emerging strategic core competencies (e.g., sustainability green strategy by environmental focus for more sustainable path, corporate reputation by corporate social responsibility and image enhancement, and technology strengths to develop a new product and market) and the firm's economic performance with respect to diverse dimensions of performance such as accounting (ROE and EOA) - and market-based performance (Market value and Tobin's q). Considering all possible limitations that might exist with regard to selected samples and methods, this study demonstrates that environmental sustainability, corporate reputation, technological capabilities and competencies through R&D intensity and patent are most likely to be significantly associated with most market-based performance measures, but the strategic significance of other variables such as capital intensity, leverage, and administrative cost efficiency on performance tends to be different depending on which performance measure is used across different countries with diverse economic and business contexts.
