董事特质与经营绩效——基于我国新三板企业的实证研究

作为一项重要的治理机制,健全而高效的董事会可降低代理问题,是公司治理的核心。本文以我国新三板为代表的中小企业群这一视角,基于7248家新三板企业的69162名董事的简历信息,从其领导特质、性别特质、政治关联、专业背景以及学历背景等五个维度进行了大数据分析。基于Ordered Probit模型,实证检验董事个体特质与企业绩效之间的关系。结果表明,董事会成员的不同特质是影响新三板企业经营绩效的关键因素;董事领导特征为董事长与CEO两职合一、女性董事数量增多、董事拥有政治关联、董事拥有财会与金融相关领域工作经历、董事学历越高,新三板企业经营绩效提升的概率显著增加。本研究有助于揭示新三板企业董事个体特征中的关键影响变量对经营绩效的影响,为中小企业进行董事会结构优化以及市场对其进行经营绩效和投资价值判断提供实证研究证据。

区域文化视角下企业绩效管理开展策略探讨

绩效管理是企业人力资源管理的基本模块之一,在人力资源成为企业最重要资源的现实背景之下,做好绩效管理对于提升企业的整体绩效水平具有重要的意义。绩效管理本身受到区域文化的很大影响,不同区域文化背景下,企业绩效管理往往会有很大的差异,本文通过对区域文化与企业绩效管理之间的联系进行了论述,同时对于不同区域文化下绩效管理模式的进行了对比分析,总结了目前绩效管理中存在的问题,提出了区域文化视角下企业绩效管理开展的具体策略。     

企业内部薪酬差距对组织未来绩效影响的实证研究

薪酬差距和组织绩效关系的研究大多采取同期的截面数据。本文认为薪酬差距的激励效果具有滞后性,进而提出了高层管理团队内部薪酬差距、高管团队/员工的薪酬差距对组织未来绩效影响的理论假说,并以我国上市公司为样本进行实证研究。实证分析的结果发现:高管团队薪酬差距对组织未来绩效ROA有负向的影响,但是技术复杂性、企业人数和高管团队薪酬差距的交互作用对未来绩效ROA有正向的影响;高管/员工薪酬差距对组织未来绩效ROA没有显著的影响,但是,技术复杂性、企业人数和高管/员工薪酬差距的交互作用对未来绩效ROA有正向的影响,而当企业最终控制人类型为国有股份时,高管/员工薪酬差距和组织未来绩效之间表现出负向的关系。论文最后对研究结论和局限性进行了讨论,并提出了未来研究建议。     

基金经理个人特征对基金绩效的影响及其机理研究

本文引入反映基金经理行为因素的投资风格变量,探讨基金经理个人特征对基金绩效的影响,并分别对牛市和熊市两种不同行情下基金经理个人特征及投资风格与基金绩效之间的相关关系进行分析.在此基础上,将基金极端业绩分布引入模型,对研究进行拓展.研究结果表明:基金经理的性别、学历背景等个人特征能够显著地影响投资风格,而这些个人特征对基金绩效的影响主要通过换手率、持股集中度、行业集中度等投资风格变量来传递;在牛市和熊市两种不同行情下,基金经理个人特征及投资风格对基金绩效和极端业绩分布的影响存在差异.     

私募股权投资特征、IPO抑价与经营绩效——基于我国创业板的实证研究

论文从私募股权投资的特征出发,研究私募的特征对企业IPO抑价和经营绩效影响的差异。研究发现：在我国创业板市场上,私募的参与显著提高了企业的IPO抑价,私募未起到认证作用。成立时间长的私募、高声誉私募、民营私募和私募投资持续时间长、联合投资以及阶段性投资能降低企业的IPO抑价,但作用不显著。在企业经营绩效方面,私募参与的企业没有更好的经营绩效,私募未起到提供增值服务的作用。私募投资持续时间、持股比例以及阶段性投资与经营绩效显著负相关;成立时间长的私募、高声誉私募、民营私募参与以及私募联合投资的企业也没有更好的经营绩效。私募的特征对企业经营绩效影响的差异与基于国外市场的研究发现显著不同。     

上市公司多元化并购与同业并购绩效研究

随着资本市场的日益完善,企业的并购活动也逐渐呈现出规范化和市场化的特征,国内外学者在过去的几十年里运用不同的方法对企业并购活动与企业绩效的影响问题进行了大量的学术研究,得出的结论莫衷一是。我国企业并购活动中的同业并购与多元化并购活动对企业绩效有何影响,以及能否为企业和社会创造价值等问题需要我们进一步的研究。     

管理层权力对企业绩效的影响研究——基于企业内部治理机制视角

以我国主板上市企业数据为基础,实证检验了上市企业管理层权力对企业绩效的影响,内部治理机制对管理层权力——企业绩效敏感性的影响。实证结果表明,内部治理机制影响管理层权力与企业绩效之间关系的敏感性,当不考虑内部治理机制时,企业绩效与管理层权力综合变量在1%水平上显著正相关,具有较高教育背景和持有企业股权的管理层,能为企业带来更好的业绩。当考虑内部治理机制时,企业绩效与管理层权力综合变量仅在10%水平上正相关。管理层权力综合变量对股权制衡度较低和独立董事比重较高的企业的绩效具有显著正向影响。     

Financial experts on the top management team: Do they reduce investment inefficiency?

We examine the effect of the top management team (TMT) professional finance experience on firm investment efficiency. Top managers with a career background in finance help reduce deviations of investment from the level warranted by firm fundamentals. Reductions in investment inefficiencies are achieved by financial expert managers using project-specific rather than company-wide, discount rates for project evaluation and facilitating debt and equity issuance at lower costs. Greater investment efficiency due to the financial expertise of TMT improves firm performance. We demonstrate that these improvements are driven by the collective expertise of the TMT rather than solely by chief executive officers.     

Top management team expertise and corporate real earnings management activities

This study investigates the effects of top management team (TMT) expertise on real earnings management (REM) activities by examining a hand-collected data set that contains 4,690 firm-year observations from Taiwanese listed firms during 2006 to 2010. The results of this study show that the percentages of TMT members possessing master's degrees (PMS) and managing core functional areas (CORE) negatively relate to REM activities, whereas the percentage of TMT members possessing a CPA certificate (PCPA) has the opposite effect. We also find that the PMS and CORE effects are mainly demonstrated through the channel of raising firm performance and thereby reduce managers' incentives to manage earnings. In addition, the effect of TMT expertise on REM activities becomes weaker with increasing firm age. Finally, the outcomes of several robustness tests, such as suspect firm analyses, endogeneity analyses, employing other TMT expertise variables, and additionally controlling for accrual-based earnings management also support our results.     

The impact of family control on the use of performance measures in strategic target setting and incentive compensation: A research note

This paper deals with the impact of a firm's governance structure on its management control system (MCS). We argue that the involvement of founding family members in the top management team (TMT) as a corporate governance characteristic has an impact on how the TMT exercises control over subordinates. Based on a sample of 304 mainly small and medium-sized firms, our paper provides empirical evidence that founding family involvement in the TMT is associated with the latter making less use of performance measures in its strategic target setting and incentive practices, and that this impact of family involvement is moderated by firm size.     

Top Management Team Characteristics and Accrual-Based Earnings Management

This study examines how top management team (TMT) knowledge and average tenure affect accrual-based earnings management by investigating 4791 Taiwanese listed companies from 2006 to 2010. TMT members with more knowledge (higher education level, more accounting expertise, and greater prior top management experience) and longer average tenure have better performances and higher reputations, and are more aware of the litigation costs of earnings manipulations; therefore, they reduce managers' incentives to manage earnings (incentive-reduction effect). On the other hand, these TMT members are also likely to become entrenched and engage in more earnings manipulations (entrenchment-enhancing effect). The empirical results show that firms' TMT knowledge and average tenure are negatively associated with discretionary accruals, suggesting that the incentive-reduction effect is stronger than the entrenchment-enhancing effect, which makes TMT members less likely to engage in earnings management. Moreover, the above results are robust when employing different earnings management measures and suspect firm analyses, as well as considering endogeneity issues. Finally, the study suggests that the presence of a founding family may reduce the influences of TMT knowledge and average tenure on earnings management.

CEO compensation structure and firm performance

The objectives of our study are to estimate a model of ‘efficient’ compensation structure based on firm characteristics and test the performance consequences of deviation from the efficient compensation structure. Our results are based on 3503 firm years for the period from 1999 to 2005. The results suggest that firms whose CEOs receive compensation inconsistent with their firm characteristics have a lower performance compared to those firms whose CEOs’ compensation is consistent with their firms’ characteristics. Our measure of performance is based on both accounting and market‐based performance measures. Overall, our study provides some important new insights into the links between CEO compensation structure and firm performance.     

Can differences in the background characteristics of the chairperson–CEO vertical dyad reduce management agency costs?—A perspective Based on the internal configuration of the top management team

We test whether differences in the background characteristics of firms’ chairperson and CEO can reduce management agency costs. We find that when the chairperson is older, has a higher level of education, and has more overseas experience than the CEO, the management agency costs will be lower. A series of robustness tests do not change our conclusions. In further analysis, we find that the negative relationship between the two is more significant for SOEs or firms experiencing fierce market competition. Finally, we also find that the chairman-CEO’s vertical dyad background characteristics differences can help to improve firm performance. Our study provides theoretical and practical implications for companies on how to best configure their top management team.     

Group versus individual compensation schemes for senior executives and firm performance: Some evidence based on archival data

The objectives of this paper are (i) to provide evidence on the association between the choice of group versus individual compensation schemes for senior executives and firm characteristics, and (ii) to provide evidence on the economic consequences of adopting a particular compensation scheme. Our key findings based on 2517 firm years for the period of 2001–2010 show that on average, the choice between group or individual compensation schemes for senior executive compensation schemes are consistent with a firm’s economic characteristics and on average, the choice of compensation schemes does not affect subsequent firm performance. However, we find some evidence that firms that adopt compensation schemes inconsistent with their economic characteristics have lower subsequent performance. Our findings are robust to a number of sensitivity tests.     

Boards of Directors, Market Discipline and Firm Performance

Abstract:   The board of directors is generally seen as an important internal governance structure. However, the empirical evidence on the board‐performance relationship is not conclusive. On the other hand, a growing literature suggests that different control mechanisms, either internal or external to the firm, can interact with each other and affect performance. One such important factor is product market competition. The objective of the study is to investigate further the board‐performance relationship taking into consideration the potential effect of market competition. More precisely, the study analyzes the combined effect of boards of directors' characteristics, and market discipline on firm performance. Overall, the results suggest that competition has a positive and significant impact on firm profitability and productivity. Moreover, this determinant factor creates the conditions for which the board‐performance relationship is supported. In other words, for boards to be effective, firms should be exposed to a competitive environment.
