Considering the role of a financial analyst that directly affects investors as an information mediator, management's decision to disclose to maximize corporate value will have an important impact on investors as well. On the other hand, whether or not managers vary the level of disclosure depending on the corporate form will have great implications for policy authorities. However, there is no domestic research on the relationship between the corporate form and the quality of voluntary disclosure. Our study shows that the corporate form tends to deepen the negative relationship between the proprietary information cost and the quality of disclosure. Examining whether the relationship between proprietary information cost and management disclosure decision making is valid for domestic companies is expected to provide meaningful implications for investors and regulators. Depending on the corporate form, if an entity makes a discriminatory disclosure, the cost of capital will be affected. A more in-depth follow-up study on this should be done.

Purpose - This study aims to analyze consumer in the multidimensional aspect of a combination of corporate image and brand personality in order to identify the structural causal relationship between consumer choice and corporate image and brand personality. Design/methodology - This study combined theoretical literature studies with empirical field studies using questionnaire survey methods. To achieve this objective, a hypothetical causal model consisting of three potential variables and nine measurement variables was created based on prior research, and a structural equation model was used to identify the suitability of the model. Findings - The hypothetical model established by this study was judged to be generally appropriate. In particular, corporate image was shown to have significant static direct effects on consumer choice and brand personality. It was also shown that brand personality had a direct static effect on consumer choice, and that corporate image has an indirect significant impact on consumer choice by moderating brand personality. Originality/value - Previous papers have mainly focused on one-dimensional studies of various images, such as companies and brands. However, this paper used a model that analyzed consumer choice through multi-clue information rather than corporate images as the only clue to consumer choice.

Purpose: Corporate social responsibility is a self-regulating business model that helps a firm be socially accountable to the public. By practicing corporate social responsibility, firms can be conscious of the kind of impact they are having on all aspects of society, including economic, social, and environmental. Corporate social responsibility activities are not directly linked to increasing corporate performance and corporate value, but rather involve spending expenses. Based on these facts, this study verifies whether the effects of corporate social responsibility activities differ depending on the firm's situation. Research design, data and methodology: This study analyzed the effect of market competition on corporate social responsibility activities using logistic regression analysis on listed companies in the KOSPI and KOSDAQ for fiscal years 2014 through 2016. In this study, market competition was measured using the Herfindahl-Herschman Index(HHI). Higher HHI value can be interpreted as a lower degree of market competition. We also measured corporate social responsibility activities using the KEJI Index published by the Korea Economic Justice Institute (KEJI). If a firm-year is included in the top 200 companies of the KEJI Index, it is classified as a good corporate social responsibility activity firm. Results: We find that companies in less competitive market were not included in the KEJI Index. This result indicates that firms in the market with lower market competition perform less corporate social responsibility activities that incur costs. An additional analysis showed that there was a significant negative relationship between the market competition and the corporate social responsibility activity scores published by the KEJI Index. These result adds robustness to the result of the hypothesis that firms that have a monopolistic place in the market practice passive corporate social responsibility activities. Conclusions: The results show that managers of a firm in the lower market competition have a lower incentive to use limited resources for projects that are not directly related to revenue. The results of this study imply that corporate social responsibility activities vary according to the position of the business. Therefore, this study suggests that market investors should consider the degree of competition in the market when they evaluate corporate social responsibility activities.

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.

기업로고는 기업을 대표하는 시각적 기호로서 기업의 가치, 목표, 비전을 상징적으로 나타낸다. 디자인과 색상에 따라 각각 다른 메시지를 전달하며 기업의 의사소통 도구 역할을 한다. 최근 ESG 경영에 대한 요구가 높아짐에 따라 기업은 로고를 통해 환경 보호, 기업의 투명성 등의 가치를 함축적으로 나타내기 시작했다. 기업은 추구하는 가치를 시각적으로 강조하며 원하는 이미지를 투영하는 전략적 신호로서 로고를 사용한다. 이러한 과정에서 로고를 보는 이해관계자는 인지 편향의 문제를 겪는다. 따라서, 본 연구는 기업로고의 디자인에 따라 간접적으로 ESG 실천 가치를 전달할 수 있으며, 이는 곧 기업의 ESG 평가에도 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 알아보고자 한다. 추가적으로, 기업이 ESG 관련 이슈를 기업공시 자료에 적극적으로 포함할수록 편향의 효과가 커질 것으로 예상하는 조절효과를 함께 살펴본다. 본 연구는 KOSPI 상장 기업 중 617개 대상으로 2020년부터 2022년까지의 ESG 평가자료를 활용하여 분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과, 로고와 ESG공시가 ESG평가에 미치는 유의한 영향을 확인하였지만, ESG공시의 조절효과는 부분적으로 유의하였다.

Purpose - The purpose of this study is to examine whether social value-related expenditures can be recognized as intangible assets in financial statements. Design/methodology/approach - This study examined social values defined in the economic and management fields and analyzed whether the social values have the characteristics of intangible assets. For this, the general definition of social value was derived from the concept of social value covered in previous studies. Next, we reviewed the definitions and recognition requirements for intangible assets under the current accounting standards. Based on this, we tried to suggest new criteria and disclosure methods for reporting social value-related expenditures that are not currently reported in financial statements as intangible assets in the financial statements and notes. Findings - First, as a criterion for recognizing social value-related expenditure as an intangible asset, we propose a relationship between social value-related expenditure and enterprise value. Where social value-related expenditures have a statistically significant positive impact on corporate value, they are recognized as intangible assets. If social value-related expenditures have a statistically significant negative influence on business value, or the impact of social value-related expenditures on the enterprise value is not statistically significant, it is not recognized as asset. Second, new disclosure plans are proposed according to the combination of intangible assets by category and the relevance of enterprise value. After dividing social value-related expenditures into separate intangible asset categories, if social value-related expenditures have a statistically significant positive impact on corporate value, they are recognized as intangible assets in the financial statements. If expenditures have a statistically significant negative impact on business value, they should be recorded as essential notes. Finally, if the impact of social value-related expenditure on corporate value is not statistically significant, it should be listed as a supplement. Research implications or Originality - This study contributes to the concurrent research in that it is a priori study on whether social value-related expenditure can be recognized as an asset. This study suggests that the economic effect of social expenditure can be recognized in corporate financial statements, thereby providing companies with justification and effectiveness of social value-related expenditure.

본 연구의 목적은 기존의 기업소득환류세제와 새롭게 도입되는 투자 상생협력촉진세제에서 공통적으로 고려하고 있는 기업의 미환류소득을 보다 효율적으로 사용하여 기업가치를 증진시키기 위한 방안을 모색하는 것이다. 구체적으로, 두 개 세제에서 공통적으로 고려하고 있는 임금과 고정자산 투자 부분에 대한 소득환류활동과 과세소득 재원이 상황에 따라 기업가치에 미치는 영향을 실증분석하였다. 분석결과, 단기사내유보이익과 소득환류활동은 기업가치에 부의 영향을 미치고, 장기사내유보금과 소득환류활동은 기업가치에 정의 영향을 미치는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이는 기업의 장기사내유보금을 재원으로 투자 임금 증가의 활성화를 유도해야함을 권고한다. 또한, 세제 내용에 소득환류활동의 비율과 같은 일률적인 기준만 제정할 것이 아니라 기업의 내부 사내유보 상황과 과세소득 재원을 면밀히 고려해 세재를 적용할 것을 권고한다.

기업의 기록관리를 통한 가치창출과 편익제고는 공공기관의 기록관리와 견주어도 부족함이 없는데 우리나라의 기업기록관리에 대해서는 아직까지 가이드라인도 제정되어 있지 않다. 글로벌 기업들은 업무과정의 산출물인 기록을 정보자산으로 축적하고 이용하여 업무의 시행착오를 줄이며 경쟁력을 강화해 나가고 있다. 우리나라 기업들도 기록관리에 대한 필요성은 공감하면서도 현용기록관리보다는 사사편찬이나 사료관리 등 비현용기록관리가 대부분인 실정이다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 우리나라에서 성공적으로 기록관리를 하고 있는 K사의 사례연구를 통하여 기업의 현용기록 축적과 이용을 통한 가치와 편익을 찾아보고, 기업기록관리를 활성화할 수 있는 방안을 제안하고자 했다. 이와 함께 4차 산업혁명시대의 중요한 자원인 데이터를 축적하고 이용하는 빅데이터 플랫폼으로서의 기업기록관리를 조명하며 기업기록관리의 활성화 방안을 제시하였다.

Why solar companies preferred vertical integration of whole value chain? Major solar companies have built internally strong vertical integration of entire PV value chain. We raise a question whether such integration increases the corporate value and whether market situation affects the result. To test these questions, we conducted multi-variant analysis where characteristic factors mainly affect the corporate value measured in terms of Tobin'Q, based on the financial and non-financial data of PV companies listed in US stock market between 2005 and 2010. We hypothesize that since integration increases the overall efficiency but decreases the flexibility to adjust to various market situation, the combined effect of the efficiency gain and the flexibility loss ultimately determines the sign of integration effect on the corporate vale. We infer that the combined effect will be influenced heavily by business cycle, as in boom market (Seller's market) the efficiency gain may be larger than the flexibility loss and vice versa in bust market. We test whether the sign of combined effect changes after the year of 2009 and which factors influence most the sign. Year of 2009 is known as the year when market shifted from Seller's to Buyer's market. We show that 1) integration increases corporate value in general but after 2009 integration significantly decreases the value, 2) the ratios such as Production/Total Cost, Cash turnover period chosen for reversal of the flexibility measure are negatively affect Tobin's Q and especially stronger after 2009. This shows the flexibility improves corporate value and stronger in the recess period (Buyer's market). These results imply that solar company should set up integration strategy considering the tradeoff between efficiency and flexibility and the impact of the business cycle on both factors. Strategy only based on the price competitiveness determined in boom time can bring undesirable outcomes to the company. In addition, Strategic alliances in some value chains as a flexible bondage should be taken in account as complementary choice to the rigid integration.
