- PublicationThe Impact Of Corporate Moral Hazard On Esg Performance Of The U.S. Mncs: The Interaction Effect Of Type Of Ownership(2024-03)El Shlmani, Zahra Mohamed Abdulsalam,This study analyzes the impact of corporate moral hazard on ESG performance. The study also investigates the interaction effect of the ownership structure on the relationship between corporate moral hazard _ expressed in the gross value and volume of corporate enforcement actions _ and ESG performance.
- PublicationRole Of Board Diversity In Investment Efficiency At Different Firm Life Cycle: Evidence From Mena Region(2024-12)Al-Radaideh, Ibrahim Saleh MohammadThe middle east and north africa (mena) region is confronted with formidable obstacles concerning inefficiency in investments and corporate governance (cg), specifically concerning on board diversity. It investigates the dynamic relationship between board diversity and firm investment efficiency across different stages of the firm life cycle (flc). While prior studies have explored the impact of board diversity on investment efficiency from a static perspective, this research incorporates the concept of flc stages to provide a more comprehensive understanding. The study is grounded in firm life cycle theory, which posits that agency costs associated with free cash flows (fcfs) are a recurring issue at specific stages in a firm's development. Board diversity, the independent variable, is measured using the entropy weighted board diversity index (ewbdi), incorporating nationality, women representation, and educational level. Investment efficiency, the dependent variable, is determined by the variance between actual and expected investment levels based on future growth opportunities. Flc stages, defined by fcf levels, act as the interacting variable and are categorized into four stages: introduction, growth, mature, and shake-out/decline.
- PublicationThe Impact Of Strategic Alliance Performance Of Ocean Carriers In Malaysia(2024-12)Chang, Kah LoonStrategic alliances are long-term deals between companies with similar goals that make them more competitive and add value. They require compromise, careful analysis, and organizational enhancements. Ocean carriers may form alliances to find the best routes without fixing prices or sharing assets. They may also create srategic alliance networks to cut costs and take advantage of economies of scale. Twenty-nine hypotheses were tested in a newly developed model based on the research design, which includes different parts of the research process, such as market orientation (inter-firm consumer orientation, competitor orientation, and inter-firm cooperation) and entrepreneurial orientation (innovation, proactivity, and risk-taking), technology orientation, learning orientation, and inter-partner fit (compatibility, complementarity, and strategic fit). The commonly used theories to explain strategic alliances include the social exchange theory, transaction cost theory, the firm's resource-based view, the knowledge-based approach, and agency theory. Each theory provides a unique perspective on strategic alliances, offering insights into the factors that drive their formation, implementation, and success. In the quantitative study, a methodological approach is used to find out how different factors affect trust and how well strategic partnerships work. The pls-predict method is used, and it was found that trust is a link between the factors.
- PublicationThe Influence Of Ceo Demographic Characteristics On Enterprise Innovation In China’s Manufacturing Industry: The Moderating Effects Of Firm Size And Age(2024-09)Zhang, TingtingManufacturing industry, as the foundation of the national economy, is considered to play a crucial role in a country's social and economic development. The CEO is the soul of the enterprise and is crucial to improving enterprise innovation and thereby enhancing its core competitiveness. The ability of the manufacturing industry to innovate is a matter of concern to high-quality economic development and the overall strategy to rejuvenate the Chinese nation. The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of CEO demographic characteristics on enterprise innovation in the manufacturing industry. At present, there is a lot of research on the demographic characteristics of CEOs and enterprise innovation in academic circles, but the results of the research are mostly inconsistent, and the characteristics of the research are one-sided. Therefore, this study seeks to comprehensively study the impact of CEO demographic characteristics on enterprise innovation. To understand this issue more deeply, this study further divides CEO demographic characteristics into three different characteristics, namely CEO gender, CEO age and CEO education, to explore whether different characteristics have different impacts on enterprise innovation.
- PublicationStochastic Multi-mode Resource-constrained Project Scheduling Problem Under Resource Calendar And Risk-net Present Value.(2024-09)Zhang, QianDue to the uncertainty phenomenon, the stochastic multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problem (SM-RCPSP) has become a significant research problem. SM-RCPSP is scheduling activities with multiple execution modes under resource supply and activity priority relationship constraints in the stochastic environment based on non-linear programming theory and multi-objective programming theory. The first objective of this thesis is to build a Time-Cost Trade-off Model for SM-RCPSP under a fixed resource calendar by minimizing the project completion time and cost. Assuming that the activity duration is the stochastic variable, a Time-Cost Trade-off Model is constructed under the fixed resource calendar, resource supply, execution mode, and priority relationship constraints. The second objective of this thesis is to build a Markov Chain Model for SM-RCPSP under a stochastic resource calendar by minimizing the project completion time and cost. Assuming that the activity duration is the stochastic variable and the Markov chain is used to describe the stochastic resource calendar, a Markov Chain Model is constructed under the stochastic resource calendar, resource supply, execution mode, and priority relationship constraints. The third objective of this thesis is to build a risk-net present value trade-off model for SM-RCPSP by minimizing the project condition net present value at risk and maximizing NPV. Assuming that the activity duration and cash flow are stochastic variables, a Risk-NPV Trade-off Model is constructed under resource supply, execution mode, priority relationship, and deadline constraints.
