본 연구는 기업이 국제 특허 활동을 통해 자사 혁신의 해외 경쟁 우위와 현지 경쟁 기업들에 대한 지식을 습득하여 수출 성과를 높일 수 있지만 기업 규모와 연령에 따른 조직 학습의 비효율성 때문에 국제 특허 활동으로 인한 학습 효과는 기업 규모와 연령에 의해 약화될 수 있다는 가설들을 제시한다. 한국 제약 기업들을 대상으로 실증 분석한 결과 국제 특허 출원 집중도는 수출 집중도에 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤다. 그리고 기업 규모와 연령이 증가할수록 국제 특허 출원 집중도와 수출 집중도 간의 정의 관계는 약화되었다. 실증 분석 결과는 기업의 해외 시장에 대한 지식 습득은 해외 시장에서의 직접적인 사업 운영 외에도 다양한 경로를 통해 이루어질 수 있으며 이러한 외부 지식 학습에 있어 중소기업 및 신생기업이 상대적인 강점을 지닐 수 있음을 시사한다.

This study tested the effect of the board of directors' (BOD) characteristics on the corporate performance of the Jordanian industrial and service companies listed on the Amman Stock Exchange (ASE) during the period 2015-2019. The characteristics of the BOD were measured through the following variables: MO = managerial ownership; CEODU = CEO duality; BI = board independence; GD = gender diversity; ND = nationality diversity; AE = advanced education; BM = board meetings; BSIZ = board size; CSIZ = corporate size; CA = corporate age. The corporate performance was measured by return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE). The corporate size and corporate age were used as control variables. The study sample consisted of 85 industrial and service companies with 425 observations to identify the nature of the effect of the BOD characteristics on performance. This study applied time-series data (panel data), and the multiple linear regression method was used to achieve study objectives. Results showed a positive effect of the study variables on performance, while the corporate age and the education level (BOD members) have a negative effect on performance.

This paper investigated the relationship between corporate governance mechanisms and firm performance in Vietnam. Based on a dataset of 101 HOSE-listed manufacturing firms, the results showed that CEOs' knowledge capability, gender diversity, and board size are positively associated with firm performance, whereas firm age is negatively associated. These findings suggested that firms should consider enlarging the boardrooms, but to a certain extent to avoid an inverse-U-shaped decline of performance; furthermore, firms should promote women executives' presence in a boardroom for it brings greater cultural-diversity benefits and inhibits information asymmetry. Contrary, the aging process impedes firms' growth. It depreciates their values in terms of total assets, so managers must review their assets' net value after each working year to avoid such a hardship. However, the thesis constrains itself since it did not treat the TMTs' knowledge capability equally as the CEOs' and completely excluded their treatment. Besides, it did not regard the effect of external governance mechanisms such as the supply-demand relationship, customer behavior, market imperfections, and market concentration due to data unavailability. Based on the main findings, several suggestions are set forth for firms and managers to enhance performance and minimize a poor governance mechanism's adverse consequence.

Purpose - For small and medium sized firms, CEO characteristics are main factor influencing firms' prosperity as well as performance. So it is quite natural that many people are interested in factors of CEO that matters. In this research, CEO characteristics in terms of capabilities and skill or special knowledge necessary to run the business are invested for manufacturing firms. Precedent studies reveal that CEO characteristics such as psychological factors including desire to succeed, tendency to take risks, personal factors including age, year of running business, and task related factors including managing capability, communication skills, network influence firm performance for manufacturing firms. However, these studies simply verify whether or not those factors affect firm's managing performance. This study, however, goes further to investigate how is the affecting process from CEO's capabilities and organization characteristics to firm's core competence, and from core competence to advantages, and from advantages to managing performance. Research design, data, and methodology - We make a questionnaire and surveyed manufacturing firm CEO's in Gyeonggi-do area. General characteristics analysis, factor analysis, regression analysis, and control effect analysis was conducted. SPSS 2.0 Win, version was used. Results - The CEO characteristics including basic capability, task capability, leadership, and organization characteristics affect core competence at the statistically significant level. And, core competence affect both price advantage and differentiation advantage at the significant level. Some unique finding is that while differentiation advantage affects both financial achievement and non-financial achievement, price advantage does not affect both financial and non-financial achievement. And firm characteristics mainly measured by CEO characteristics of skills has control effects on the trace from core competence to price advantage. Conclusions - For small and medium sized firms CEO characteristics is the most important factor influencing firm's prosperity. For manufacturing firms, whether CEO has the skill or special knowledge to run the firm is critical factor. The study results show that CEO's for manufacturing firms put importance on price and price advantage which seems to be familiar to them. However, the price advantage does not influential to financial and non-financial achievement. This result suggests that small and medium sized manufacturing firms' CEO's should make effort to improve other aspects of advantages to be more competitive.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the technical efficiency and its determinants for Korean Apiculture farming by using from door to door and e-mail inquiry data. The analysis was implemented through the Cobb-Douglas stochastic frontier production function (SFPF) model including the technical inefficiency effect model for cross-sectional data. To measure the SFPF model, honey production was used for a dependent variable, and for input variables labor cost, preventive cost, material cost, feeding cost, depreciation cost were used. Farmer's age, farmer's career, farming scale, full-time or half-time firm and movement or fixed firm variables were used to measure the inefficiency effect model. The average technical efficiency on apiculture farming in Korea is estimated to be 0.8112. It means that there were technical inefficiency of about 18.88% in Korea apiculture farming. In this study there are some suggestions which could increase the technical efficiency of Korean apiculture farming.

본 연구는 연구개발지출과 기업가치의 관계에 경영자 나이가 어떠한 영향을 미치는지, 현재 경영자의 나이와 교체된 경영자의 나이 두 측면에서 분석하였다. 우선 현재 경영자의 나이의 영향을 분석한 결과, 연구개발지출과 기업가치의 양(+)의 관련성은 경영자의 나이가 많은 기업이 다른 기업보다 더 높은 것으로 나타났지만, 경영자의 나이가 젊은 기업은 다른 기업보다 더 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 나이가 많은 경영자는 보수적인 성향이 있어, 의사결정 시 정보를 더욱 수집하거나 신중하게 연구개발 투자를 결정하며, 풍부한 경험으로 체계적인 투자의사 결정을 하므로 투자 성과가 더 높을 것으로 기대함을 시사하고 있다. 반면 젊은 경영자는 남은 경력 기간을 고려하여 노동시장에서 자기 능력을 평가받기 위하여 위험한 투자안을 선택하여, 젊은 경영자가 결정한 연구개발지출에 대해서는 시장에서 위험도를 높게 평가하는 경향이 있는 것으로 보인다. 다음으로 교체된 경영자의 나이가 연구개발지출과 기업가치의 관계에 영향을 미치고 있는지를 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 경영자의 교체는 연구개발지출이 기업가치에 미치는 양(+)의 관계를 강화하고 있었는데, 여기서 젊은 경영자로 교체된 경우, 다른 기업에 비하여 이 양의 관계가 낮아지는 것으로 나타나 현재 젊은 경영자의 경우와 일치되는 결과를 보였다. 그런데 표본을 대규모 기업집단과 비대규모 기업집단으로 구분하여 분석한 결과, 대규모 기업집단에서는 교체된 경영자의 나이가 연구개발지출과 기업가치와의 관계에 영향을 미치지 않았으며, 오직 비대규모 기업집단에서만 교체된 경영자의 나이가 젊을수록 부(-)의 효과가 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 대규모 기업집단에서는 기업의 전략적 의사결정에 있어 총수의 영향력과 더불어 업무에 대한 분권화와 의사결정의 체계화를 통하여 그룹내에 상호견제와 지원이 자율적으로 조정되기 때문에 기업의 연구개발지출 성과가 경영자의 교체나 교체된 경영자의 나이에 따라 크게 영향을 받지 않도록, 연구개발 관리와 성과의 안정성을 유지하고 있음을 의미한다. 본 연구는 교체된 경영자의 나이에 따라 연구개발지출과 기업가치와의 관계가 달라지는 것은 비대규모 기업집단에서만 나타나는 현상이라는 증거를 제시하였다. 이러한 현상은 대규모 기업집단은 경영자의 교체나 교체된 경영자의 나이와 무관하게 연구개발성과를 안정적으로 관리하고 있음을 시사하고 있다.

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is exploring whether the characteristics and heterogeneity of the TMT play a moderating role in CSR and corporate value or not. Design/methodology/approach - The literature research method includes collecting, organizing, and analyzing the literature on the characteristics and heterogeneity of the TMT, the effect of corporate social responsibility (CSR), and corporate value. We analyze the contributions and limitations in existing research, grasp the current research status, and develop the research content of this article. The empirical analysis method is based on the data of Chinese A-share listed companies from 2001 to 2017. This allows us to study the moderating effect of the characteristics and heterogeneity of the TMT on CSR and corporate value. Findings - The TMT age, education degree, overseas background, and compensation have a positive moderating effect on CSR and corporate market value. The comprehensive heterogeneity of the TMT also has a positive effect on CSR and financial performance. Research implications or Originality - The research on the relationship between CSR and corporate value is still inconclusive. Some results have found a positive relationship, while others show a negative relationship. Studies exist that report mixed findings as well. This study has attempted to clarify this problem by adding potentially missing variables related on the TMT characteristics and heterogeneity, investigating causality effects.

Most Korean companies in the fashion industry are SMEs, and the role of the CEO and management ownership is important for enhancing the firm's competence and developing strategies. The study aims to examine the effect of management ownership on company financial growth. In particular, the study focuses on the moderating effect of company age and size on Korean fashion SMEs' financial outcomes. Financial data based on company financial statements from 2012 to 2014 was collected by the Data Analysis, Retrieval and Transfer System of Korea's Financial Supervisory Service. A total of 295 companies' (domestic fashion businesses) data was analyzed by the bootstrap method. The median sales value in the financial year 2014 was 47,492,403,958 KRW, and the company size was divided by it. The companies were in business for an average of 20 years. According to the results, the management ownership had a negative effect on Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) for the three-years, and the relationship between the two variables was moderated by company age. Additionally, the interaction effect of management ownership and company age on 3-CAGR was also moderated by company size. When the companies had spent only a few years in business, a negative effect of management ownership for small firms and a positive effect of management ownership on financial growth for medium firms were found. These results suggest that small companies starting business need to manage their company governance structure to make flexible decisions, and after retaining financial growth, the companies can expand their businesses based on strong ownership.
