In capital budgeting practices, investment project evaluations based on the net present value (NPV) and the internal rate of return (IRR) represent the traditional evaluation techniques. Compared with the traditional methods, the modified internal rate of return (MIRR) gives the opportunity to evaluate an investment in certain projet, while taking the changes in cash flows over time and issuing shares such as dividing shares, bonuses, and dividend for each end of the investment year into account. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate an investment in the Malaysian construction sector utilizing financial data for 39 public listed companies operating in the Malaysian construction sector over the period from Jan 1, 2007, to December 30, 2018, based on the MIRR method. Stochastic was studied in this study to estimate the estimated probability by applying the Markov chain model to the MIRR method where the transition matrix has two possible movements of either Good (G) or Bad (B). it is found that the long-run probability of getting a good investment is higher than the probability of getting a bad investment in the long-run, where were the probabilities of good and bad are 0.5119, 0.4881, respectively. Hence, investment in the Malaysian construction sector is recommended.

The purpose of this study is to introduce a proposed Framework for Evaluating the Return on Investment (ROI) of E-Learning Programs at Saudi Universities. To achieve this goal, the descriptive analysis methodology is used to analyze the literature review about e-learning and its evaluation from different viewpoints, especially from the ROI-related perspective. As well as the literature reviews related to ROI and the methods of calculating it inside society institutes. This study suggests a conceptual framework for evaluating the ROI of E-Learning Programs at Saudi Universities. This framework is based on the merging process among the analyze, design, develop, implement, and evaluate (ADDIE) model for designing e-learning programs, which gives detailed procedures for executing the program, several evaluating models for e-learning, and the Kirkpatrick model for evaluating the ROI of e-learning. It consists of seven stages (analysis, calculating the costs, design, development, implementation, calculation of the benefits, and calculation of the final ROI).

In this study, we conducted a comparative analysis of R&D investment efficiency and operational efficiency of IT firms using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). We categorized thirteen sample firms into two groups-IT manufacturing and IT service-after an extensive literature review on IT industry classification. We adopted an output-oriented two-stage DEA model suggested by Banker et al. (1984) with total asset and R&D investment as input variables. Then, we constructed investment efficiency and operational efficiency by using Return on Equity (ROE) and Return on Asset (ROA) as intervening variables and operating income and Earnings Per Share (EPS) as output variables. The outcome of the analysis is summarized as follows. First of all, IT manufacturing firms were more efficient (57% on average) than IT service firms. To be specific, IT service firms showed decreasing returns to scale (DRS) with diseconomy of scale. In contrast, IT service firms showed higher operational efficiency (81.5% on average) than IT manufacturing firms. Also, we conducted a Mann-Whitney U test to compare the output of IT service firms and IT manufacturing firms. Lastly, we found a negative correlation ($R^2$ = -.754) between R&D investment efficiency and operational efficiency which infers the trade-off between two constructs

Purpose - The purpose of this study is to show the need to use the past long-term returns for investment decisions in U.S. equity funds and to suggest an investment strategy using long-term returns. Design/methodology/approach - This study solves the problem of high return volatility in long-term returns and proposes new investment portfolios based on the behavior of fund investors according to past returns. For the investment portfolio of this study, 60 months are divided into several periods and the average of the performance ranks for each period is used. Findings - First, funds with high average returns over multiple periods have lower future outflows and higher future returns than funds with high 60-month cumulative returns. Second, funds with low average returns over multiple periods have lower future inflows and lower future returns than funds with low 60-month cumulative returns. The findings mean that when making decisions based on past long-term returns, it is a smarter investment choice to buy funds with high average returns over multiple periods and sell funds with low average returns over multiple periods. Research implications or Originality - This study shows that it is necessary to use long-term returns in fund investment by analyzing the characteristics of the portfolio based on past returns. In addition, the study is meaningful in that it suggests a way to use long-term returns more efficiently based on the behavior of fund investors and shows that such investments lead to higher returns in the future.

이 논문은 투자성과에 있어 자산배분의 중요성이 크다는 것에 주목하여 최적 자산배분을 달성하기 위한 투자의 수단으로써 펀드의 가능성을 살펴보고자 한다. 우선 펀드의 자산별 배분(또는 스타일)을 정의하기 위해 Sharpe(1992)가 제시한 펀드 수익률 기반 스타일 분석을 적용하였다. 정의된 펀드의 스타일이 일정기간 유지되는지 확인하기 위해 특정 개별 투자자를 가정하고 스타일 변동 허용범위를 설정한 뒤 이를 충족시키는지 살펴보았다. 국내 주식형 펀드에 한정하여 실증 분석을 수행한 결과 투자시점에 가정하였던 펀드의 스타일이 투자 예상 기간 동안 지속적으로 유지되지 않음을 확인하였고 그 원인을 파악하고자 하였다. 몇 가지 분석 상의 한계에도 불구하고 실증 분석의 결과 펀드가 투자자의 최적 자산배분 달성을 위한 투자수단으로 적절치 않다는 결론을 얻을 수 있었다.

본고의 목적은 우리나라 기업의 연구개발투자의 특성을 파악하고 연구개발투자의 경제적 효과로 연구개발투자 수익률을 추정하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 695개 기업에 대한 8년간의 관측치가 존재하는 5,560개 표본으로 구성된 패널 데이터를 구축하였다. 패널 데이터를 이용하여 먼저 기업 연구개발투자의 특성을 파악하고자 하였다. 우리나라 기업의 연구개발투자의 특성은 선행 연구결과에서 정립된 이른바 정형화된 사실에서 벗어나지 않음을 확인할 수 있었다. 특히 강조할 점은 연구개발투자의 생산성 효과와 연구개발투자 자체의 생산성을 구별하여야 한다는 것이다. 즉, 연구개발투자를 많이 하는 기업이 생산성이 높은 것은 사실이지만 연구개발투자와 생산성 증가의 관련성은 높지 않으며, 연구개발투자에 있어서도 다른 실물투자와 마찬가지로 수익체증보다는 오히려 수익체감의 법칙이 작용한다는 점이다. Klette 모형을 이용하여 연구개발투자 수익률 및 지식스톡의 진부화율을 추정하였다. 실증분석결과에 의하면 이들 기업의 연구개발투자의 사적 수익률은 산업 전체로는 평균값 기준 7.7% 또는 중간값 기준 16.4% 수준으로, 제조업에 한정하면 평균값 기준 10.4% 또는 중간값 기준 16.4% 수준으로 추정되었다. 한편, 지식스톡의 진부화율은 산업 전체로는 32.9%로, 산업별로는 최하 11.6%(금속)에서 최대 49.5%(서비스) 범위로 추정되었다. 제조업 기업의 연구개발투자 수익률은 실질이자율의 두 배 정도로 추정할 수 있다. 자본시장이 효율적으로 작동한다면, 연구개발투자의 수익률은 자본의 기회비용에 추가하여 연구개발의 지대(rent)로 구성된다고 할 수 있다. 연구개발투자를 지속적으로 수행하는 우리나라 기업은 대체로 자본의 기회비용 이상의 초과 수익을 향유하고 있다는 결론이 가능하다.

The use of on-premises technology in the business environment to create a competitive advantage is ushering in a new era known as digital transformation. As the foundation of digital transformation of enterprises, information technology still has a paradoxical effect on enterprises. This paper documents the effect of investments in IT on a firm's long-term profitability performance measures as return on assets (ROA), as well as tests whether the earlier entrant and the later entrant are different in IT investment performance. Using a sample of China's public firms IT investment data between 2016 and 2019, the result indicates that IT investment in firms have a positive effect on firm performance in full sample, but not in the financial industry firms. When it comes to the different investment time, the result shows no significant difference between the earlier entrant firm and the later entrant firm in the full sample, but not in the case of software industry sample. This should help alleviate the concerns that some have expressed about the viability of digital transformation given the highly publicized IT investment and implementation problems at some firms.

IT portfolio, meaning the ratio of investment with four different purposes of IT, is widely used for evaluating the adequacy of investment and its performance within firms. Despite of such a useful framework looking at investment on IT, IT portfolio in agriculture industry seems to be differentiated from other industries. In this study, we compared IT portfolios of farms: grain, field fruit and vegetable, greenhouse fruit, greenhouse vegetable, beef cattle and pig. We classified farms by their return on equity (ROE) in order to analyze the relationship between IT portfolio of each crop and performance. Then, we found patterns of IT portfolios of top-performance farms compared to all farms for each agricultural product. Lastly, peculiarities of each crop are interpreted and discussed to find out top-performance farms' IT investment patterns. From our study, it could be inferred that monotonous IT investments may not be as effective.

Recently, many South Korean firms have suffered financial losses and damaged corporate images from the data breaches. Accordingly, a firm should manage their IT assets securely through an information security investment. However, the difficulty of measuring the return on an information security investment is one of the critical obstacles for firms in making such investment decisions. There have been a number of studies on the effect of IT investment so far, but there are few researches on information security investment. In this paper, based on a sample of 76 investment announcements of firms whose stocks are publicly traded in the South Korea's stock market between 2001 and 2017, we examines the market reaction to information security investment by using event study methodology. The results of the main effects indicate that self-developed is significantly related to cumulative average abnormal returns (CAARs), while no significant effect was observed for discloser, investment characteristics and firm characteristics. In addition, we find that the market reacts more favorably to the news announced by the subject of investment than the vendor, in case of investments with commercial exploitation. One of main contributions in our study is that it has revealed the factors affecting the market reaction to announcement of information security investment. It is also expected that, in practice, corporate executives will be able to help make an information security investment decision.
