Role Of Board Diversity In Investment Efficiency At Different Firm Life Cycle: Evidence From Mena Region
(2024-12)
Al-Radaideh, Ibrahim Saleh Mohammad
The 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.
The Impact Of Strategic Alliance Performance Of Ocean Carriers In Malaysia
(2024-12)
Chang, Kah Loon
Strategic 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.

The Influence Of Strategic Imperatives On Sustainable Business Growth Among Manufacturing Smes In Malaysia
(2024-11)
Hu, Meng Kui
Smes are recognised for their significant contributions to economic growth, the creation of decent jobs, the provision of public goods and services, poverty alleviation and reduced inequality. In malaysia, they make up 97.4% of business establishments, contributing 39.1% to the nation’s gdp, 48.5% to employment and 12.2% to exports in 2023. Conversely, manufacturing smes accounted for 33.8% of sme contribution to gdp, 45.7% to employment and 9.0% to total exports. Due to the nature of smes, which are resource-constraint, approximately 60% of smes experience failure within the first five years of business establishment. Moreover, the covid-19 pandemic exacerbated the failure rate, resulting in the closure of at least 150,000 smes. If this trend continues, smes cannot operate profitably and sustainably. In this regard, the economic expectations of smes to deliver the aspirational goals under various governmental initiatives will be impacted. Therefore, given their importance to the country’s economic agenda, smes must uncover effective measures to enhance their resilience, enabling them to grow sustainably. Against this background, a research framework and eleven hypotheses were conceptualised and developed based on the resource-based view (rbv) and past literature.
