This paper investigates whether managerial ownership and foreign ownership have impacts on firm value, using a sample of logistics firms listed on the Korea Stock Exchange between 2008 and 2014. In the Korean economy, family-controlled business groups, known as chaebol, constitute a unique governance system. To acquire investments from controlling shareholders, a logistics firm is likely to be included in family-controlled business groups. Since reform of the governance structure of logistics firms in the South Korea enables shareholder value to be maximized, we analyzed ownership effects on firm value using pooled ordinary least squares. Empirical results showed that there was a significant positive relation between managerial ownership and firm value. This study also found that there was a significant positive relation between foreign ownership and firm value. We thus show that both managerial ownership and foreign ownership can protect shareholders by positively affecting firm values.

새 정부가 국정비전과 국정과제의 하나로 추진하고 있는 $\lceil$공정과 투명$\rfloor$, $\lceil$자유롭고 공정한 시장질서 확립$\rfloor$은 곧 지배구조의 개선을 의미하는 것이다. 그리고 기업 지배구조의 개념 및 목표는 기업 내$\cdot$외부 이해관계자들의 견제와 균형을 통해 기업의 시장가치와 경쟁력을 높이는 것이라는 점에서 지배구조를 개선해 나가기 위한 모든 시장참여자들의 노력이 필수적이다. 특히 대기업집단의 지배구조는 시장에 미치는 영향력이 매우 크기 때문에 훨씬 더 투명해야 하고 바람직한 모델이 필요하게 되는 것이다. 그러나 제도의 완비보다 더욱 중요한 것은 그 제도를 운용하는 정부와 제도의 적용대상이 되는 기업의 의식의 변화라고 생각한다.

Using hybrid channel affords the benefits of achieving control through the direct channel and achieving flexibility through the indirect channel. However, using a hybrid channel also poses special challenges to a manufacturer, including the problem of managing multiple channel members with disparate goals and priorities. The purpose of this study is to enhance our understanding on the management of hybrid channel. We study marketing channels for fashion apparel to examine governance challenges and solutions of a hybrid channel. We have two objectives to fulfill that purpose. First, we aim to tie two largely separate research streams of salesforce management and marketing channel management together by examining both intrafrim governance and interfirm governance issues under one conceptual framework. Second, we aim to lay a ground work for rigorous further research on this topic by tying two major theoretical approaches of governance together under one conceptual framework. Our predictions were tested with data from the survey of apparel manufacturers and retailers. The analysis results support the predictions moderately.

Despite the recent rapid advancement of science and technology, we have been experiencing the decline in productivity since the 2000s. This study aims to investigate the decline at both industry and firm levels, by looking at the emergence and growth of large firms such as Amazon, Alphabet, and Apple and M&A trends. Following the results of previous studies, our results show that productivity at industry level has decreased since the 2000s. Particularly, in the period after 2011, the deterioration of allocative efficiency due to the large firms and the decline in the growth rate of surviving firms in the industry with low ratio of large firms contributed to the productivity decline. On the other hand, our analysis at firm level demonstrates that the productivity of firms that acquired IT firms improved over the entire period. While M&As have a positive impact on productivity, M&As with a demand-side motive such as market penetration and expansion of channels have a relatively larger impact than the ones for production or operation efficiency. Our results also suggest that the higher the proportion of large firms in a specific industry, the lower the productivity of individual firms in the same industry. Overall, given that the industry's structural changes for digital transformation tends to strengthen the growth of large firms, our findings have significant implications by empirically identifying the relationships of the emergence of large firms, the acquisition of IT/Non-IT firms, and motivations for M&As to firm/industry productivity.

The objective of this study is to analyze the effect of the quality of the Internal Accounting Control System(IACS) on Executive compensation, and to determine whether this relationship depends on the effectiveness of corporate governance. For the analysis, 6,343 firm-year data listed on the Korea Exchange from 2011 to 2016 were used. The results are as follows. First, Executive compensation was decreased in companies with low quality of IACS to provide a penalty for management. Second, the negative relationship between the weaknesses of IACS and Executive compensation was found to be strengthened when the corporate governance was effectively operated. These findings suggest that information about the quality of the IACS can be usefully used to reasonably identify the executive compensation policy, and that corporate governance needs to be operated more efficiently.

This paper examines a simultaneous determination of corporate control mechanisms, and its effects on firm performance. The corporate control mechanisms considered include the following; insider shareholding, institutional shareholding, the board of directors, dividend policy, and capital structure. This paper applies a simultaneous equation methodology and investigates the interdependence among the corporate control mechanisms. In the first part, the paper finds that firm-level variations of control mechanisms are large across time although average variations are relatively small. These variations are related to one another, which is confirmed by Granger causality test based on dynamic panel autoregression model. More specifically insider shareholding, institutional shareholding and outside director ratio cause each other. With regard to interdependence among the control mechanisms, 2SLS(two stage least squares) regression results show that insider shareholding and institutional shareholding are substitutes while institutional shareholding acts as complements to the ratio of outside members in the board of directors. Then in the second part, the paper examines the relationship between firm performance and corporate governance. Firm performance, measured by Tobin's Q, has a positive association with leverage ratio while that has a negative relation to outside director ratio. This suggests that there may be a room for reforming corporate governance in Korea. Specifically it is necessary to enhance the independence of the outside directors.

본 연구는 우려나라 기업집단(企業集團)의 비용함수분석(費用函數分析)을 통해 제조업과 금융업간의 기술적 생산조건을 규명함으로써 제조산업(製造産業)과 금융업겸영(金融業兼營)의 효율성여부를 분석하고, 앞으로의 바람직한 금융소유지배규제정책방향(金融所有支配規制政策方向)을 모색하고 있다. 기업집단의 비용함수분석결과에 의하면 비금융제조업(非金融製造業)과 증권업(證卷業)간에는 범위(範圍)의 경제(經濟)(상호효율증진효과(相互效率增進效果))가 있는 반면 제조업(製造業)과 은행업(銀行業)이나 기타금융업과(其他金融業)의 사이에는 그런 관계가 부재(不在)하며, 우리나라 기업집단(企業集團)들은 평균적으로 규모가 과대하여 비효율(非效率)을 초래하고 있는 것으로 관찰되고 있다. 앞으로 우리 경제(經濟)의 개방화(開放化)와 금융자율화(金融自律化) 그리고 세계경제(世界經濟)의 통합화(統合化)가 진전됨에 따라서 제조업(製造業)과 증권업(證卷業)의 겸영(兼營)및 소유지배관계(所有支配關係)는 지속강화(持續强化)되겠지만 제조업(製造業)과 은행업(銀行業)과의 관계는 오히려 그 연계(連繫)가 약화(弱化)되며, 기업집단(企業集團)의 평균규모도 축소조정(縮小調整)될 것으로 전망된다. 이에 따라 장기적으로 금융소유규제정책(金融所有規制政策)은, 우선은 은행업과 제조업간의 소유지배를 허용하든 금지하든 어느 경우나 뚜렷한 자원배분(資源配分)의 왜곡(歪曲)이나 효율증진효과(效率增進效果)가 나타나지는 않기 때문에, 정부가 특정 소유구조를 강제하기보다는 은행(銀行)이나 기업(企業)들이 자체판단(自體判斷)에 의해 최적소유구조(最適所有構造)를 결정(決定)하도록 하되, 특정 소유지배관계(所有支配關係)의 형성이 금융산업 및 경제내에 경쟁저해적(競爭沮害的) 효과(效果)를 초래하지 않도록 하는 경쟁정책적(競爭政策的)차원에서 접근(接近)하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 판단된다. 그리고 소유집중(所有集中)에 따른 은행(銀行)의 안전(安全) 건전성(健全性) 저해효과(沮害效果)를 방지하기 위해서는 동일인(同一人) 여신한도(與信限度)의 엄격한 운용(運用) 등 건전감독기능(健全監督機能)을 보강해야 할 것이다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of CSR on the managers' compensation-performance sensitivity, and to determine whether there are differences in this relationship as the governance structure is more efficient. The sample for analysis was from KOSPI-listed companies in 2011-2017, and regression analysis was performed to confirm the relevance. The results are as follows: First, in CSR company, there was a negative relationship for managers' compensation-accounting performance sensitivity and a positive relationship for managers' compensation-stock performance sensitivity. Second, CSR and the managers' compensation-performance sensitivity vary depending on the type of corporate governance. In CSR companies, when the corporate governance is effective, the managerial compensation system generally complements each other. These results suggest that there is a need to design an effective manager's compensation system within the company in order to induce managers' decision-making in the direction of increasing shareholder profits in a long-term perspective in CSR companies. In addition, if we identify the relationship with the governance structure and reduce or improve the devices that overlap each other, it is believed that it will contribute to enhancing corporate value.

This study investigates the relationship between corporate social responsibility and corporate governance among major US corporations belonging to S&P 500 index during 2000-2008. Specifically, it examines the ways in which firms engage their boards of directors in integrated strategy by establishing a public affairs(PA) or social responsibility(SR) committee at the board level and the effects of this practice on their corporate social performance(CSP). The empirical findings show that negative CSP is the major driver for establishing such a committee, that is, firms suffering from negative CSP as a result of experiencing undesirable social events tend to establish such a committee. On the other hand, such a committee helps the firm increase positive CSP once it is established. In other words, the purpose of establishing such board-level committees is to address problems associated with negative CSP, and once established, they can help enhance positive CSP by enabling the firm to integrate market, non-market, and social responsibility aspects in strategy formulation more effectively. This is evidence that Baron's integrated strategy framework can help firms achieve tangible outcomes.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of concurrent appointment as a director on the quality of the internal accounting management system (IACS). For analysis, 9,343 KOSPI & KOSDAQ company-year data from 2014-2019, excluding the financial industry, were used. As a result of the analysis, it was confirmed that the quality of IACS decreased as the number of multiple positions in the director increased. Although there is a difference in the roles of inside and outside directors, it was found that the quality of IACS decreases equally as the number of board members. According to the business hypothesis, this can be said to be the result of the agency problem within the company because directors, who were more busy with concurrent positions as directors, did not put sufficient effort into their work. This study suggests that information on the concurrent position of directors can be a new indicator that reflects the characteristics of the board in evaluating the effectiveness of corporate governance.
