Design codes provide the minimum requirements for the design of code-compliant structures to ensure the safety of the life and property. As for code-exceeding buildings, the requirements for design are not sufficient and the approval of such structures is vague. In mainland China in recent years, a large number of code-exceeding tall buildings, whether their heights exceed the limit for the respective structure type or the extent of irregularity is violated, have been constructed. Performance-based seismic design (PBSD) approach has been highly recommended and become necessary to demonstrate the performance of code-exceeding tall buildings at least equivalent to code intent of safety. This paper proposes the general methodologies of performance-based seismic analysis and design of code-exceeding tall buildings in Mainland China. The PBSD approach proposed here includes selection of performance objectives, determination of design philosophy, establishment of design criteria for structural components and systems consistent with the desirable and transparent performance objectives, and seismic performance analysis and evaluation through extensive numerical analysis or further experimental study if necessary. The seismic analysis and design of 101-story Shanghai World Financial Center Tower is introduced as a typical engineering example where the PBSD approach is followed. The example demonstrates that the PBSD approach is an appropriate way to control efficiently the seismic damage on the structure and ensure the predictable and safe performance.

본 연구는 한국거래소의 유가증권시장에 상장된 기업들을 대상으로 운전자본관리가 기업성과에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 운전자본과 기업성과는 각각 매출액 대비 순운전자본의 비율과 총자산영업이익률로 측정한 변수를 이용하였다. 연구의 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 전체 표본을 대상으로 실시한 분석에서 운전자본과 기업성과 간에 유의한 관계를 확인할 수 없었다. 둘째, 운전자본이 음(-)인 집단을 대상으로 실시한 분석결과, 운전자본의 계수가 유의적인 +0.013로 나타나 운전자본이 기업성과에 유의한 양(+)의 영향을 미침을 확인하였다. 반면, 운전자본이 양(+)인 집단의 경우, 운전자본의 계수가 유의한 -0.016으로 추정되어 운전자본과 기업성과 간에 유의적인 음(-)의 관계가 존재함을 보였다. 이러한 결과는 최근 해외연구에서 밝혀진 바와 같이 국내 기업에서도 운전자본의 적정보유수준이 존재할 수 있음을 시사한다. 셋째, 재무적 제약을 고려한 운전자본과 기업성과 간의 관계를 분석한 결과, 재무적 제약이 운전자본과 기업성과의 관계에 별다른 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 재무적 제약을 지닌 기업과 그렇지 않은 기업 간에 특별히 다른 운전자본정책이 실행되지 못하고 있음을 시사한다. 그동안 국내 상장기업을 대상으로 운전자본과 기업성과의 관계를 다룬 연구가 거의 존재하지 않는다는 점을 고려할 때 본 연구는 향후 관련 연구의 활성화에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

창업을 준비하고 시작하는 과정에서 스타트업의 창업가는 사업계획(Business Plan)을 세우는 데 많은 시간을 할애한다. 이러한 과정에서 문서로 정리된 사업계획서는 사업의 로드맵 역할 뿐 아니라, 자본조달과 창업 팀 내부의 커뮤니케이션 도구로도 활용된다. 그런데, 창업가들이 이렇게 공들여 완성시켜가는 사업계획서는 실제 스타트업의 성과창출에 효과가 있을까? 이러한 질문의 답을 찾기 위해 본 연구는 사업계획서가 스타트업의 경영성과에 미치는 영향을 실증적으로 분석하였다. 추가적으로 창업가가 생각하는 사업계획서의 만족도에 따라 사업계획서와 성과와의 영향관계가 어떻게 변화하는지도 분석하였다. 분석을 통해 사업계획의 완성도와 이에 대한 창업가의 만족이 스타트업의 성과와 어떠한 영향관계가 있는지 검증하고 시사점을 도출하였다. 본 연구의 실증분석을 위해 150명의 창업가를 대상으로 설문조사를 진행하였고, 사업계획서의 완성도와 성과사이의 회귀분석 후 대상을 창업 3년 미만과 3년 이상으로 분리하여 2차 분석을 진행하였다. 분석결과 스타트업의 사업계획서 완성도는 재무적 및 비재무적 경영성과와 모두 정(+)의 영향관계가 있으며, 이 관계에서 창업가의 사업계획에 대한 스스로의 만족도가 재무적 경영성과에는 조절효과를 나타내는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 창업한지 얼마 되지 않은 3년 미만의 스트타업의 경우에는 창업가의 사업계획에 대한 스스로의 만족도가 사업계획서의 완성도와 비재무적 성과와의 관계에서 조절효과를 나타내는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구는 창업초기 스타트업의 지속가능한 성장을 위한 방안으로 사업계획서 작성의 필요성을 재조명하고 그 중요성을 실증적으로 입증하였다는 점에서 의미가 있다. 본 연구를 통해 향후 스타트업 창업가들이 사업계획에 대한 중요성을 잘 이해하고 초기창업의 실패를 낮추는데 기여 할 수 있는 실마리가 되길 기대한다.

Based on the theoretical underpinnings of the agency theory and liquidity theory, the purpose of this study is to show how managers who want to enhance the performance of Pakistan's non-financial sector can use liquidity policy in relation to corporate governance. Nowadays, Pakistan is facing a severe liquidity crisis; this study contributes by examining the mediating role of liquidity on the link of corporate governance-performance. We use data from 63 firms from 2010 to 2018, excluding 17 outliers. To analyze the data, we use the Seemingly Unrelated Regression (SURE) model and nlcom-Stata test. Our findings support the mediating role of liquidity on the link between corporate governance and performance. In addition, the results show that corporate governance improves performance. Furthermore, the study supports a significant positive association of liquidity and performance. For robustness, we use two performance variables - return on assets (ROA) and Tobin's q (TQ) - where ROA represents full mediation and TQ indicates partial mediation. This study helps to use liquidity policy to strengthen the inside and outside dimensions of corporate governance mechanisms that improve the performance of firms. Overall, these findings suggest better disclosure, transparency, and solutions to auditing issues that add value to the firms.

To enhance the performance of privatized firms and state-owned enterprises, Vietnamese government set up a specialized monitoring body named State Capital Investment Corporation (SCIC) in 2006 to supervise their performance. This motivated us to conduct this study to investigate the effective control of SCIC on privatized firms' performance. We collected the annual reports of 500 non-financial privatized firms listed on HSX and HNX during the period from 2007 to 2017 from Thomson Reuters. Observations with missing values were removed and trimming outliers were implemented resulting in a dataset comprising of 4146 firm-year observations. We applied a quadratic regression model of state ownership on firms' performance, and applied the method of Baron and Kenny (1986) to test the moderating effect of SCIC control. To fix "selection bias" that may occur and result in endogeneity of moderator (M), we utilized the PSM technique to analyze the marginal effect of the moderator (SCIC) on privatized firms' performance. Our findings indicate a positive moderating role of SCIC on the relationship between the state ownership and firms' performance. This implies that there is a positive effect of liberating the management of the private firms from government control, which also means that lesser the intervention of government in the day to day operational activities of a private firm, better the performance of a privatized firm is.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of COVID-19 on corporate governance attributes and firm performance association. This research used a sample of 188 non-financial firms from the Malaysian market for the years 2019-2020. We found that the COVID-19 has affected all firm characteristics including firm performance, governance structure, dividend, liquidity, and leverage level, yet, the difference between prior and post COVID-19 pandemic is not significant. Also, the investigation revealed that board size exerts a significant positive impact on firm performance. After splitting the sample based on year, however, we found that board size does not matter in the uncertain time of the current crisis, while board diversity appeared to be significantly enhancing firm performance in the crisis time compared to the prior year where it has an inverse association with firm performance in both indicators. Board meetings and audit committee meetings seemed to have a significant negative influence on firm performance pre and post-COVID-19. This study contributes to the limited literature by providing the first empirical evidence on the impact of Coronavirus on the firm performance and corporate governance association.

Purpose: Corporate management is under pressure to contribute to social values beyond profit-seeking, and interest in ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) is increasing worldwide. In the recent global climate change crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic, the importance of non-financial values such as ESG is increasing. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to prepare a strategy for future ESG management activities by analyzing the impact of it on corporate performance by food companies. Research design, data and methodology: ESG-related research trends, ESG activities, and corporate performance were analyzed. After that, a regression analysis was conducted to identify the relationship between ESG evaluation grade and corporate performance. Result: ESG management activities measured by ESG scores did not significantly affect the return on assets, one of the variables of corporate performance. However, as a result of setting the return on equity as a dependent variable, ESG management activities have a nonlinear relationship with corporate performance, and ESG management activities have a positive effect on corporate performance when investment in ESG management activities is reasonable. Conclusions: These results show that food companies should engage in an appropriate level of ESG management activities to improve corporate performance.

The principal objective of this study was to categorize service attributes on the basis of the asymmetric and non-linear relationship existing between service attributes and customer satisfaction. Researchers generally assume that service attribute performances and customer satisfaction are both symmetrical and linear. That is to say, improvements in attribute performance will inevitably result in increased customer satisfaction. However, this is not always the case. Certain attributes have been shown not to create satisfaction even when improved, and others do not create dissatisfaction even when their performance ratings become negative. Understanding this relationship is crucial not only to researchers, but also to service managers. Service managers can arrange their priorities with regard to which attributes must be improved or promoted first, in an environment of limited technical, financial, and human resources. Many studies into this asymmetric and non-linear relationship have recently been conducted, beginning with Herzberg's motivation-hygiene theory (1976) and the disconfirmation theory, which was eventually developed into Kano's model (1984). This study attempted to determine the impact level of service attributes on incidents of satisfaction or dissatisfaction. It used 30 service attributes generated by Park (2008) in the CIT research into family restaurants. The data were collected from 600 participants, 300 incidences of satisfaction and 300 incidents of dissatisfaction, via an online survey. The t-test was used to confirm the difference between the satisfaction group's and dissatisfaction group's attributes. 11 attributes were found to be significant at a level of p>0.05. This indicates that the 11 attributes exerted different impacts on satisfaction and dissatisfaction, which confirmed the asymmetric and non-linear relationship. 14 attributes were categorized into the core service, 1 attribute into the quality service, 7 attributes into the basic service, and 8 attributes into the neutral service. Strategic customer service management was recommended for the 'A' family restaurant as an example, on the basis of the asymmetric and non-linear relationship and the characteristics of the four service factors.
