企业内剥夺:表现、成因及影响——家族企业职业经理人管理者权力探析

企业内剥夺即因管理者权力缺失而导致家族企业控股股东对职业经理人利益的损害,具体表现为职业经理人剩余索取权、剩余控制权及合约控制权被剥夺,其形成及程度取决于家族控股比例、家族成员的岗位干预程度、企业业务范围、家族企业控股股东个人能力等因素.企业内剥夺严重影响了职业经理人的人力资本激励,阻碍了企业发展所依托的组织能力、核心能力的及时培育,导致企业难以实现规模化和社会化.     

我国电子商务企业自建物流现状及对策——基于企业边界视角

物流对电子商务的发展有着十分重要的影响,随着我国电子商务企业规模的急剧扩大,自建物流成为一种趋势。电子商务企业自建物流受交易成本、核心能力的制约,存在着过度依赖外部投资、区域发展不平衡、竞争激烈导致的利润率低、外部环境差、管理成本高等方面的问题,应从打造品牌、转变发展方式、电子商务企业与快递企业建立战略合作伙伴关系等方面寻求出路。     

投资者保护、集中的所有权与公司价值

在不同的国家中,对投资者保护的法律制度、法律执行质量和会计标准存在很大的差异。在一定程度上,股权集中是对投资者法律保护的替代。对投资者的法律保护与公司价值间存在正相关关系;集中的所有权有助于改善公司价值。为了保护投资者的利益,我国应该完善对投资者的法律保护,提高执法质量和会计质量,促进股权的适度集中。     

Recent Developments of Statistical Approaches in Aspects of Accounting: a Review

We review and simultaneously introduce a convenient statistical concept for the mathematical representation of the Statistical Activity Cost Theory (SACT) introduced by Willett (1987, 1988). Further, we discuss, and present a critique of a variety of statistical models with respect to long debated accounting problems, such as the allocation of joint costs and depreciation. We finally propose that taking the effort to combine those models results in a novel statistical accounting system and this is discussed by means of the so-called virtual firm. Our approach is methodological rather than empirical. We endeavour to demonstrate that the statistical models presented herein have a more natural interpretation and applicability than their deterministic analogues: hence, this review presents promising outcomes and useful perspectives for the accounting profession.     

Asset specificity,firm heterogeneity and capital structure

This paper presents an empirical investigation of the importance of specialized assets and other unique characteristics of a firm in explaining the variance in capital structure across firms. The results show that firm-specific effects contribute most to the variance in leverage, suggesting a strong link between strategy and capital structure.     

The Timing of Asset Sales: Evidence of Earnings Management?

This paper presents empirical evidence from a sample of publicly traded Singaporean firms on the question: to what extent do firms manage earnings through the timing of asset sales? Previous studies have focused on accounting motives behind asset sales, ignoring the need to also consider economic motives. Some empirical evidence is provided to support the hypothesis that managers of firms with decreasing net earnings–per–share smooth earnings upwards using asset sales.     

Top management team compensation: the missing link between CEO pay and firm performance?

In this research we discuss the relationship between CEO and top management team (TMT) member compensation, and explore the implications of TMT pay for firm performance. Specifically, we suggest that firm performance may benefit due to agency and group behavioral issues when top management team member pay is aligned—alignment is defined as the degree to which TMT member pay reflects (1) shareholder interests and (2) key political and strategic contingencies within the firm. In support of our theorizing, we found CEO pay to be related to TMT pay; TMT compensation, in turn, predicted performance (i.e., return on assets and Tobin's q) when aligned with shareholder interests and internal contingencies. Moreover, the effect of CEO pay on future firm performance was dependent on top team pay. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Export Activity,Firm Size and Wage Structure: Evidence from Taiwanese Manufacturing Firms*

This study adopts a semiparametric smooth coefficient model to evaluate the export–wage premiums, firm size–wage premiums, and the wage gap between skilled and unskilled labor. Particular focus is placed upon widespread evidence indicating that pay levels in ‘large’ and ‘export‐oriented’ firms are higher than in their ‘small’ and ‘domestic‐oriented’ counterparts. Applying the firm‐level data for Taiwanese manufacturing firms, we find a positive export–wage premium for skilled workers and a negative export–wage premium for unskilled workers. The hypothesis of a constant export premium across firm size is rejected. While most of the export–wage premiums for skilled labor can be attributed to the small and medium firms, the large exporting firms have a significant adverse effect on wages for unskilled labor. Moreover, our results suggest that the firm size–wage premiums for skilled workers are larger than those for unskilled workers. The wage gap between the two skill groups is also sensitive to size categories.     

Efficiency and market share in the Hungarian corporate sector

This paper investigates the link between competition and efficiency for the Hungarian corporate sector during various phases of the transition process. We employ frontier production functions to explore differences among groups of firms, and to identify the typical adjustment process of each group separately throughout the transition period until 1997. The estimated production functions indicate a gradual improvement in efficiency and a shift from decreasing to increasing returns to scale due to the growing share of small firms. Market share can be explained by domestic and foreign competition and by the efficiency of the firm. JEL classification: C23, D21, D24.     

Analysis on the Evolution of Firm Organization

The paper states a few theory hypotheses about organization and its dynamic reason and its explanation as well as evolution. On the above basis, conclusion and ideas are emerged for the theory hypotheses.
