Does the cost of capital differ across countries? An agency perspective*

In this keynote speech, I ask the question: Does the cost of capital differ for firms located in different countries? I argue that there are two ways to look at the cost of capital. First, there is the neoclassical perspective, which assumes that there are no agency problems. In integrated markets, the neoclassical cost of capital is the same in every country. Second, there is the agency perspective. Agency costs increase the cost of capital understood as the expected rate of return necessary for an investment to leave the value of the firm unaffected. Adjusting the cost of capital for agency costs, I argue that it differs across countries because of differences in corporate governance. I then provide a comparison of the agency-adjusted cost of capital between Japan and the US.     

Collectivist values for learning in organizational relationships in China: the role of trust and vertical coordination

Partners must engage in integrative interaction in order to combine diverse expertise and experiences into effective learning. Results from 103 pairs of customer and supplier organizations in China indicate that trust and vertical coordination are useful ways to characterize this integrative interaction and together they promote learning. Structural equation analysis suggests that collectivist but not individualist values are important foundations for integrative interaction between partners that result in learning. These findings were interpreted as reaffirming the value of effective relationships for coordination between partners and suggesting that collectivist values can be a source of effective organizational relationships.     

Sales technology within the salesperson's relationships: A research agenda

The average cost of a sales call has declined approximately 15% over the past decade, while average salesperson compensation has doubled. These statistics illustrate an important benefit of technology: salespeople are more productive. To better understand the impact technology has played on sales and sales management, this paper examines the impact of sales technology from four perspectives: the salesperson, the field sales manager, the sales executive, and the customer. Noting that the needs and evaluations of technology vary, depending upon the functional position and viewpoint, a research agenda is offered that reflects these various perspectives.     

Managing and financing metropolitan public services in China: experience of the Pearl River Delta region

Under China’s current fiscal policies and inter-governmental relations, it is a significant challenge to finance and deliver public services across jurisdictions. This challenge was met in the Pearl River Delta region in southern China with a collaborative governance approach. Directives from higher-level governments and horizontal inter-city fiscal arrangements were successfully combined to deliver public services. Effective networks should be developed to improve co-ordination and collaboration in delivering cross-jurisdictional public services.     

乡镇企业发展中社会资本的重构

乡镇企业在发展初期虽然缺乏物质资本、人力资本,但拥有丰富的社会关系,具有大量社会资本,这构成其高速增长的重要基础。然而,伴随着我国经济社会结构深刻变化,乡镇企业的社会资本开始下降、贬值,既有社会关系的负功能也日益凸现,其发展速度快速回落。社会资本在传递信息、构建信任等方面不可替代,乡镇企业要实现新的发展,必须适应新的经济社会环境,重建社会关系,再造社会资本。     

跨组织资源与企业合作:基于关系的视角

本文针对企业资产专用性风险与垂直一体化分解之间的矛盾，提出应当用跨组织资源来探讨企业之间合作的本质。这种资源依赖于企业合作中的网络关系．并随着关系的不同而体现出不同的性质。基于跨组织资源，我们对企业合作中的个体行为与群体行为进行了分析。本文认为，跨组织资源化解了资产专用性风险与一体化分解之间的矛盾．并推动了企业间合作的实现。本文提出，跨组织资源是在特定的机制与环境中创造租金的，同时对组织环境也产生着重要的影响．因而跨组织资源与其所嵌入的企业合作网络之间是一种互构的关系。     

Complaint management expectations: An online laddering analysis of small versus large firms

This study explores complaint management expectations in business relationships, particularly the qualities and behaviours that affect buying companies as part of the complaint handling encounter with a supplier. An exploratory empirical study uses a hard laddering approach which also allows us to compare the expectations of large and small companies to understand size-effects. The research indicates that complaining companies perceive disruptions of their supplier relationships in the context of the business network within which they are embedded, especially vis-à-vis the benefits associated with long-term supplier ties. However, these network concerns are more pronounced for large companies. Issues of effective complaint management in business-to-business settings therefore need to be addressed not just as isolated managerial activities with limited benefits for the parties involved, but should be seen as being part of a wider activity set of strategic networking activities with an impact on whole business systems. Thus, the findings enrich the existing limited stock of knowledge on the context of complaint management in business relationships and networks.     

Geographic dissemination of information

Urban companies are located near millions more potential investors and sophisticated money managers than non-urban companies. More investors are familiar with urban companies and have access to informal information about them. The stock of urban companies is also more liquid than the stock of non-urban companies. We hypothesize that these factors lead information to be spread from urban companies to other companies. Urban stock returns lead rural/small city stock returns even controlling for size, industry, and analyst coverage. Closer examination of the lead–lag relation reveals that urgent trades, which are likely to reflect short-lived information, are much more common for urban firms. Information appears to be uncovered through informal means more easily available to people physically near a company. We discuss the corporate finance implications of our findings.
