Purpose - The study attempts to investigate the relationship between inventory management and firm performance using a multi-dimensional aspect of inventory management with respect to lean management practices across countries. Research design, data, and methodology - 1643 manufacturing firms from Japan and the US that SIC ranges from 2000 to 3999 were chosen to conduct the empirical test. This study employs hierarchical OLS regression analysis to examine the impact of control variables, ABI, EBI, and the interaction between ABI and EBI on firm performance. Results - The result indicates that in Japan high level of inventory negatively influences the accounting flows of business, while US manufactures exhibit strong positive impact of ELI on firm performance across accounting and market measures. The results show that the complementarity between the amount and the speed of inventory does exist. Except for Tobin's q, the sign of interaction term coefficient is negative, suggesting that when the amount of inventory increases and it stays longer in a firm, market values, ROS, and ROA suffers. Conclusions - The major finding of this study is that there exist some complementarities between the scope and implication of inventory management for lean strategy across countries, particularly in U.S. and Japanese firms.

Transfer pricing is a matter of concern for countries. It affects the interests of the parties involved in the commercial transaction. Through manipulation of prices in transactions, businesses take advantage of tax rates in a country to adjust profits for economic gain. This affects the fairness and rationality of economic transactions between related parties. The article uses a two-year time series from 2018 to 2019 of 50 foreign direct investment enterprises in Vietnam. The article uses ordinary least squares to test the hypotheses of the research model. The article uses four independent variables related to ownership structure affecting transfer pricing decisions including total ownership, organization ownership, concentration ownership, and area ownership. Research results show that two variables have a positive influence on transfer pricing decisions including total ownership and organization ownership. Organization ownership has a higher degree of influence than total ownership. To be able to control transaction activities related to transfer pricing, Vietnam's state management agencies need to pay attention to perfecting the legal framework based on supplementing and amending regulations related to transfer pricing. Legal regulations need to be regulated based on international common practices to ensure uniformity on a global scale.

Good Corporate Governance (GCG) has been implemented by companies, especially companies that have gone public. However, many local companies still have not applied the principles of GCG. This study examines the implementation of the CG concept which is not fully implemented in family businesses in Indonesia. Besides, this research also aims to find out the role of the Internal Audit function in enhancing GCG practices. This research is a qualitative study that uses in-depth interviews, observation, and data triangulation, to gather evidence from exploratory case studies conducted in three family business firms. The results of this study found that CG is essential for the successful run of family businesses. After analyzing the data, we developed a new theory called Islamic Integrity Governance. The Internal Auditor plays a key role in improving GCG and a vibrant and agile internal audit function can be an indispensable resource supporting sound corporate governance. The internal auditor provides objective assurance and insight on the effectiveness and efficiency of risk management, internal control, and governance processes. Therefore, the Internal Auditor is an important pillar for effective and efficient GCG implementation. This theory concludes several concepts such as THTCL (Trustworthy, Honest, Transparent, Creative, Loyal). Internal auditors are needed because the concept of control is useful for improving GCG in business.

This study examines whether accounting conservatism can support real earnings management by reducing accrual earnings management techniques. The net impact of conservative reporting on earnings management is also analyzed. It is assumed that moderating the role of conservative financial reporting during uncertainty can mitigate earnings management practices. For our analysis, 5354 firm-year observations for the period 2007-2020 of nonfinancial companies listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange are applied. To measure conservatism in the non-financial sector of Pakistan, Khan and Watts' (2009) model is used to provide evidence that conservatism is a way to restrict earnings management during uncertainty. "Prospector" and "Defender" Business strategy is applied for measuring firm-level uncertainty. To measure accrual earnings management Modified Jones (1995) model and Dechow and Dichev (2002) approach and Kasznik (1999) model are applied, and for real earnings management Roychowdhury model is applied which follows three approaches to measure real earnings management i.e. cash flow manipulation, Overproduction, and discretionary expenses. The estimations support our hypothesis by providing statistically significant proof that conservative financial reporting in a developing economy like Pakistan may be used to overcome the net impact of earnings management during uncertainty. Our results provide critical and practical implications for investors, researchers, and standard setters.

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and corporate present and future value. Design/methodology/approach - This paper intends to prove the relationship between CSR and corporate value once again by selecting A-share companies listed on the China Shenzhen Stock Exchange and Shanghai Stock Exchange from 2010 2017. This paper also examines the effect of five dimensions of CSR on corporate value in China. Findings - Empirical evidence shows that CSR is conducive to corporate value. The fulfillment of social responsibilities improves firm value in the future. Further, the regression results show that the social responsibility of the non-state-owned enterprise (Non-SOEs) group has a more significant effect on corporate financial performance than on the state-owned enterprise (SOEs) group. Research implications or Originality - This study has limitations. First, the grouping is only divided into two groups of SOEs and non-SOEs, and we did not consider foreign investments, that is, foreign-funded enterprises, for the comparative analysis. Second, only the linear relationship between CSR and corporate value was tested. In the future, we must determine whether there exists a nonlinear relationship between the two key concepts. Finally, there exists no research on CSR and corporate value by specific industries. Thus, the relationship between the five dimensions of CSR and corporate value should be investigated by specific industries.

In recent years, the Iraqi market witnessed a large opening that resulted from the entry of many different products with an absence of government regulations. As a result, marketing deception practices have emerged as a new phenomenon. This study examines the effect of deceptive brand image on consumer purchase intention, with consumer attitude as a mediator. A quantitative method was applied in the form of a questionnaire distributed to shoppers at Carrefour Supermarket in Erbil, Kurdistan Region of Iraq. A random sampling technique was conducted. Subsequently, 200 questionnaires were distributed, and 175 valid questionnaires were analyzed, indicating an 87% response rate. Partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) has been utilized to test the hypothesis. The result showed that brand image deception has a negative impact on consumer purchasing intention. Also, attitude mediates the relationship between deceptive brand image and consumer purchase intention. The empirical finding confirms that deceptive marketing practices such as brand deception can change the attitude of consumers negatively toward brands and, therefore, affect the consumer purchase intentions. The findings suggest that honest brand marketing is beneficial in increasing the attitude toward the brand. This strategy will increase consumer purchase intentions.

회계는 기업 경영의 핵심 분야 중 하나임에도 해운사의 회계와 관련된 연구는 많이 이루어지지 않았다. 또한, 선박금융, 금융리스 등 금융을 많이 활용하는 해운사에 있어서 재무보고는 매우 중요함에도 불구하고 해운사의 재무보고, 특히 이익조정에 관한 연구는 찾아보기 어렵다. 본 논문의 목적은 해운사의 발생액 이익조정 행태를 분석하는 것이다. 부채비율이 높고, 당기순손실 기업은 이익조정의 유인이 있다고 알려져 있다. 해운사는 산업의 특성으로 인해 부채비율이 높고, 당기순손실을 보고하는 경우가 많다. 따라서 해운사는 이익조정을 많이 할 것으로 예상된다. 2001년부터 2020년까지 한국거래소에 상장된 KOSPI 기업을 대상으로 분석한 결과 해운사는 비 해운사에 비해 이익조정을 많이 하는 것으로 나타났다. 이익조정의 대리변수는 재량적발생액을 사용하였다. 재량적발생액은 Dechow et al.(1995)의 수정Jones모형과 Kothari et al.(2005)의 성과대응모형을 사용하여 측정하였다. 본 연구는 회계처리 행태 중 대표적인 이익조정에 관해 해운사와 비 해운사를 비교 분석함으로써 유의미한 결과를 도출하였다. 외부감사인, 투자자, 금융기관, 애널리스트, 정부당국 등 이해관계자는 상장 해운사의 외부감사, 재무분석, 감독 등에 있어 해운사의 이익조정 행태에 대해 인지할 필요성이 있다. 마지막으로, 상장 해운사는 회계원칙에 입각한 보다 엄정한 회계처리를 해야 할 것이다.

본 연구에서는 중국 대련시(大連市)에 투자한 한국기업의 지역적 뿌리내림을 경영관행에 초점을 두고 분석하였다. 이를 위해서 투자지역의 사회경제주제와 네트워크 관계의 측면에서 기업조직, 의사결정체계, 고용 및 노동관행 그리고 정부 및 협회를 비롯한 지원기관과의 관계 등으로 구분하여 파악하고자 하였다. 중국 대련시 한국기업의 주된 투자동기는 시장 확보이며, 이에 따라 주요 예산집행에 관한 의사결정은 한국 본사에 의하여 이루어지고 있으나 시장개척, 인력채용 등에 대한 의사결정은 현지법인의 자율성이 높은 경향이 있다. 투자지원정책 면에서 지방정부와의 협력이 잘 이루어지고 있고 기업은 경영성과를 지역사회로의 환원을 통하여 현지사회와의 융화를 위하여 노력하고 있으며 노사관계도 비교적 원활한 것으로 나타나고 있다.
