This study investigates the impact of managerial ability and managerial incentives on firm performance. In particular, it studies how managerial ability factor can exert significant influence on the profitability and the risk of firms. By doing this, the study can provide several policy implications about how managerial ability can influence firm decisions and its corresponding business policies. Data of the study was collected from the Annual Enterprises Survey (AES), which is conducted by the General Statistics Office of Vietnam (GSO) during the 2009-2013 period. After removing firms with insufficient financial information, our final dataset includes over 50,000 firms in Vietnam. The main result of the study shows that there is a significant and positive relationship between managerial ability and firm leverage. This finding indicates that managerial ability significantly plays an important role in making financial decisions. In addition, our study provides empirical evidence about the causal relationship between managerial compensation and firm risk-taking behavior. Specifically, we find that firm risks are significantly associated with compensation schemes including lower delta and higher vega. In other words, our study implies that the sensitivity of CEO wealth to stock volatility can positively affect both delta and vega or managerial incentives schemes.

본 연구에서는 기업의 단기재무의사결정 중 하나인 매출채권관리가 기업수익성에 미치는 영향을 분석하고자 한다. 이러한 연관성이 비선형적 관계에 있는지 분석하여 기업수익성을 극대화시키는 최적 매출채권 수준을 파악하고자 한다. 또한 기업의 시장점유율이 높은 기업군을 독점기업군으로 시장점유율이 낮은 기업군을 경쟁기업군으로 분류할 때 매출채권과 기업수익성간 연관성의 민감도가 다르게 나타나는지를 분석하고자 한다. 한국거래소의 유가증권시장에 상장된 비금융업인 제조업 기업들을 대상으로 2001년부터 2018년까지의 기간동안 재무자료를 수집하여 분석한다. 분석대상 기업들은 불균형 패널자료로 연도별로 270개에서 463개의 기업들로 총 6,632개의 표본수로 구성된다. 기업의 거래 신용인 매출채권과 기업의 수익성 지표인 총자산영업이익률(ROA)간에는 양(+)의 연관성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 이들간에는 비선형의 관계인 역U자형 관계를 갖고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 기업이 매출채권을 일정수준까지 보유하면 수익성이 높아지지만 그 수준을 초과하여 보유하면 오히려 수익성이 감소할 수 있는 최적 매출채권 수준이 있음을 시사하고 있다. 시장점유율이 시장평균보다 높은 독점기업의 경우 매출채권과 수익성간의 연관성이 시장점유율이 평균보다 낮은 경쟁기업군의 연관성보다 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 현상들은 Titman(1984)이 제시하였던 기업의 이해 관계자인 구매자(소비자)와의 거래관계가 기업의 수익성증대에 중요한 역할을 한다는 가설을 지지하고 있다.

Purpose - Drawing on relational institutional theory, we explored how demographic similarity between board members of a firm and newly emerged political elites led to firms' increased financial resource acquisition such as leverage ratio and decreased export intensity amidst the Asian financial crisis. We also studied how a firm's leverage ratio and export intensity can further affect firm profitability and financial credit rating. Design/methodology - We revisited and explored a unique, unprecedented crisis that affected most Korean firms: the Asian financial crisis that coincided with a governmental shift from a conservative to a liberal party. We collected demographic information from 432 listed Korean firms' board members and 43 political elites of the Blue House from 1998-2000 to create a demographic similarity measurement. We collected firms' financial information, built panel data, and used ordinary least squares regression to test our theory. Findings - Our results showed that demographic similarity between a firm's directors and newly emerged politicians had a positive association with a firm's leverage ratio but a negative association with a firm's export intensity. A firm's leverage ratio had a negative relationship with firm performance measured by firm profitability and financial credit rating. A firm's export intensity showed a positive effect on firm performance. Originality/value - We highlighted that during an economic crisis that coincided with a governmental shift and change of leading political actors, firms exerted efforts to survey the environment and build new external stakeholder relationships to cope with the changing landscape. We proposed that in an emerging market like Korea where low levels of trust and favoritism are prevalent across society, one of the relational institutional strategies that firms can employ is the selection of directors with similar demographic characteristics to political elites based on factors including birthplace and school affiliations. We examined the efforts of firms to build political networks with newly empowered political elites during a financial crisis, and the consequences of establishing such networks. We highlighted that during a financial crisis, the demographic similarity between a firm's board members and newly emerged politicians can provide firms with access to financial resources but can also result in poor management and reduced effort to enhance its international competitiveness.

This study uses financial statements on several hundred companies listed in the Korea Stock Market to analyze trends in inventory turnover ratios and examine the effect of inventory performance on the profitability of the companies. Statistical analyses are done to determine if there have been significant changes in inventory turnover ratios and how turnover ratio pattern varied by factors such as industry, size of the firm, and the effectiveness of previous inventory management. Inventory turnover ratios decreased for four consecutive years and were found to vary by industry. Also it is proved that there was statistically significant relationship between the size of the firm and the average level of inventory as a fraction of sales. Regression analysis is done to investigate the relationship between the inventory management performance and profitability of companies and it is found that improvement in inventory level affected profitability of the companies.

Does servitization improve manufacturing firms' performance, and in what condition? Following the seminal work of Crozet and Milet (2017), this study analyzes disaggregated firm-level data that covers 40,000 South Korean manufacturing firms surveyed by the Survey of Business Activities of Korea. We compute firm-level servitization intensity with available sales data of each firm by two-digit SIC sub-sectors. We find two novel empirical regularities: Korean servitization intensity distribution shows a very different shape from the French benchmark; Servitized firms tend to perform higher profitability and higher productivity than non-servitized firms.

This study aims to investigate the relationship between the variables of Current Ratio (CR), Return-on-Equity (ROE), Return-on-Assets (ROA), Debt-to-Equity Ratio (DER), and Firm Size (FS) on Dividend Policy (DP) in real estate and property companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in the period 2016-2019, looking at nine real estate companies in Indonesia. The research methodology uses an explanatory analysis approach and linear regression. Based on the eligibility and homogeneity of the data, the number of sample companies selected was nine companies. The company's financial statement data derived from primary data obtained on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, such as current ratio (CR), return-on-equity (ROE), return-on-assets (ROA), debt-to-equity ratio (DER) and firm size and dividend policy variables. The data analysis procedure is first to transform financial data from the original ratio data into interval data and, then, transform it to ordinal data. Furthermore, the validity and reliability process are ignored because the data is primary. Finally, regression testing is part of the hypothesis testing stage. The results of this study showed that the CR, ROE, and firm size had no positive and significant effect on dividend policy. In contrast, DER and ROA have a positive and significant impact on dividend policy.

기술혁신활동은 기존(새로운) 사업영역의 확대(발굴)를 가능하게 하며 단위당 생산원가의 절감을 제공함으로써 기업의 부도위험을 줄일 수 있다. 그러나 이는 많은 자원의 투자를 필요로 함과 동시에 그 결과를 확신하기 어렵다. 따라서 기술혁신활동은 매출액 및 수익성 증대에 따른 효익을 상쇄하고도 남는 비용의 초래를 유발함으로써 오히려 기업의 부도위험을 증가시킬 수 있다. 이에 본 연구는 기술혁신 활동이 기업의 매출액 및 수익성 증대를 통해 부도위험을 낮추는 효과가 있는지를 실증적으로 분석하였다. 본 연구의 실증분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 전체표본의 경우 기술혁신활동이 활발할수록 기업의 매출액과 수익성이 증가함과 동시에 부도위험이 감소함을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 기술혁신활동이 매출액 및 수익성을 통해 부도위험을 낮추는 매개효과가 있음을 확인하였다. 둘째, 첨단 및 고기술업종표본의 경우 전체표본과 같이 유의한 매출액 및 수익성의 매개효과를 확인할 수 있었다. 그러나 중 및 저기술업종표본의 경우 이들 변수의 매개효과를 확인할 수 없었다.

Utilizing the patent application data between 1997 and 2002, this study focuses on analysing the impact of patents on firm value. Especially we attempt to examine the difference of patents between venture firms and general firms. This paper first shows that the number of the patent applications of general firms listed on the securities market is more than that of venture firms listed on KOSDAQ. It is thought that this result is originated from the facts that the size of firms of the securities market is usually bigger than that of the firms of KOSDAQ and that these large firms could manage R&D more efficiently. Second, this paper reports that there is no difference in the ratio of patent maintenance between venture firms and general firms. Both venture firms and non-venture firms would do their best to keep their patents after patent regisration. Third, in the regression of patent index and firm growth, we find that the excellence of patent and the number of patents per employee would have an impact on the growth of firms. Fourth, the regression of patent index and profitability shows that the excellence and the number of patents per employee might have an effect on the profitability of firms.
