Description竞争日益激烈的市场环境对企业管理者提出了更高的挑战,首席执行官(CEO)作为企业管理层的核心,其个人特征对企业绩效有着重要影响。已有研究主要基于高阶理论,系统研究了CEO具体特征对企业战略选择及其绩效的影响。但是已有研究较为零散,并且大多数集中在CEO人口统计学特征,对其政治联系、受教育年限、社会关系和人格特质等关注较少。基于此,本文结合高阶理论和信号理论,深入分析CEO个人特征对其绩效的影响,并且探讨了CEO结构权力在CEO个人特征与其绩效关系之间发挥的调节作用。

在文献回顾和案例研究基础上,首先,从CEO人口统计学特征、政治联系、受教育年限、职业特征、社会关系和人格特质等6个维度构建了CEO个人特征指标,将CEO上任后前3年营业收入年均增长率和利润年均增长率作为衡量CEO业绩的衡量指标,并提出了10个研究假设。其次,基于问卷调查数据,采用多元线性回归方法,对研究假设进行了验证和分析。实证结果表明,CEO性别、政治联系、受教育年限、社会关系和人格特质(外向性、开放性和宜人性)均对CEO绩效具有显著影响,而CEO年龄和多样化的职业特征对其绩效具有显著的负向影响。此外,CEO的结构权力在受教育年限、社会关系与CEO绩效之间的关系中发挥着显著的正向调节作用,而在多样化职业特征与其绩效之间发挥着显著的负向调节作用。最后,本文从CEO多维度个人特征构建和CEO结构权力两方面深入阐述了理论贡献,结合企业实践提供了可操作化的建议和对策,并提出了本文存在的不足及未来研究展望。

Description市值管理是中国特有的概念,从本质上来讲,我国的市值管理所描述的内容其实是西方国家所讲的价值管理。最早,价值管理(VBM)的概念出现于上世纪80代的美国企业界,这个概念与以往的管理理念相比,差别主要在于:价值管理的管理模式主要着重于实现企业价值最大化,并将此作为企业的最终目标来引导企业的各个职能部门相互协作、配合,最大化各部门的效率,使得公司的所有部门有机结合为一个以实现公司价值最大化为最终目的高效管理系统。

中国的“市值管理”概念是在股权分置改革后提出来的,在上市公司股份逐步实现全流通的过程中,资本市场中的各个参与者们开始将目光投向了上市公司的股价与其真实价值之间的关系,更进一步诞生了“市值管理”的管理理念。

本文在阐述并归纳国内外股权结构、价值管理与市值管理等相关的研究文献之后,详细阐述了股权结构、市值管理的相关概念,主要基于市值管理三个主要内容——价值创造、价值实现以及价值关联度作为最基础的研究框架展开本文的相关论述:文章将上市公司的市值管理能力分为这三个主要环节进行探讨的分析,以此为基础来综合评价上市公司的市值管理能力,论述股权结构与公司价值之间的关系以及市值管理与价值管理之间的关系,并以此为理论基础,实证分析了股权结构对上市公司市值管理的影响。进一步细分研究了股权集中度、股权制衡度以及管理层持股程度对上市公司管理效果的不同影响,并试图发现中国上市企业在市值管理的过程中存在的不足之处,在此基础上提出相应的对策与建议,这对于我国上市公司如何进行有效的市值管理具有十分重要的意义。

Description随着我国经济高速发展,国民收入水平显著提高,理财方式也多种多样,如股票、债券、基金、黄金等。我国股市是新兴市场,而且正处于转轨改革的特殊时期。在这样的大环境下,股票投资者们要想获得超额收益率,最关键的是找出一套与中国股市相适应的投资对策。本文在同时关注股票成长性与价值性基础上,提出了价值成长投资策略。

通过因子实证检验方法,选取通过检验的6个有效估值因子和6个有效成长因子构成价值成长投资策略中的选股指标体系。最后利用我国A股市场上所有股票(创业板除外)从2006年至2018年的历史数据来进行该策略的有效性实证研究,在对构建的三种投资组合的超额收益率进行比较。经实证检验,发现双维度的价值成长投资策略要优于单维度的价值投资策略和成长投资策略,其对预测股票下一期收益率具有非常好的效果,而且具有很好的股票市场区分度。具体来说,价值投资策略的平均超额收益率为11.22%,成长型投资策略的平均超额收益为6.82%,而价值成长投资策略的平均超额收益远超上述两种投资策略为21.27%。

本文从价值策略和成长策略的角度,尝试验证价值成长投资策略在我国A股市场的适用性。一方面,研究结果丰富了我国股票市场的投资策略,拓宽了现有价值成长策略的研究,另一方面,对于广大投资者们具有一定的参考意义,我国股市未来的发展趋势是由投机渐渐向成熟理性市场转变。

Description我国家具零售行业的供应链条中最为重要的部分就是供应商。如果企业决定实施低成本战略,那么采购成本就要实现不断降低,而这样就要求企业方要么尽可能地与供应商议价,要么以更低成本的新供应商替代现有供应商;如果企业决定实施差异化战略,除了在内部产品研发上进行更高的投入,还应寻求能够提供升级服务的或是具备资源优势的供应商,从而获取更加优质的原材料、更加精密的设备和更加领先的技术等。可以说,为了令家具零售业务有效展开,就必须寻找到合适的供应商并与之进行稳定合作。实际上,如何判断供应商的绩效水平,供应商的绩效水平如何影响企业的竞争优势,已经成为了家具零售企业提升其管理水平的关键性任务之一。因此,本文包括如下内容:

第一,界定供应商评估的关键要素。通过对家具零售业的产品类型、发展状况、行业特点等进行深入分析,并通过文献阅读与专家访谈,本文提出了家具供应商的8个评价指标并建立了一套评价体系。

第二,实证分析供应商评估结果对本产品绩效的影响。首先,本文提出了供应商评分对产品绩效影响的8个假设,并将产品战略定位作为调节变量,进而提出了8个带调节效应的研究假设。然后借助于M公司的真实供应商数据,运用回归分析方法,本文对假设进行了检验。

第三, 上述实证分析发现 (1)供应商的战略合作度、产品开发能力、内部管理能力和成本控制能力对产品绩效具有正向推动作用,而制造能力、采购能力、物流管理能力以及质量管理能力对产品绩效的影响不显著;(2)供应商的战略合作度、采购能力、制造能力、产品开发能力、质量管理能力的评分对创新型产品绩效比功能型产品绩效有更大的正向影响,而内部管理能力和成本控制能力对功能型产品绩效比创新型产品绩效有更大的正向影响,但产品战略定位对物流管理能力的调节作用并不显著.

Description本文是针对A股上市公司的社会价值所进行的模型开发与量化评估研究。

公司的社会价值,在本文中界定为公司所实现的经济、社会和环境等方面的综合贡献。随着全球和中国越来越重视可持续发展,公司的社会价值也越来越引起资本市场投资者的关注。

研究以具有原创性的“上市公司社会价值评估模型”为工具,以沪深300成分股为对象,以上市公司的经济、社会和环境的综合贡献为内容,筛选出社会价值量化得分居前99位的公司,形成义利99榜单和指数。

基于该模型和义利99榜单,博时基金已经发布了“博时中证可持续发展100指数”ETF产品(515090),标志着“义利99”从一项研究变成了可交易的基金产品。

“上市公司社会价值评估模型” ,将公司的社会价值分为三个方面,即目标、方式和效益。 “目标” (AIM)是建设更高质量、更有效率、更加公平和更可持续的美好未来,这是公司社会价值的驱动力; “方式” (APPROACH)是指创新的生产技术、运营模式和管理机制,这是公司社会价值的创新力; “效益” (ACTION)是指公司的经济、社会和环境的贡献,这是公司社会价值的转化力。该模型也称 “社会价值三A三力三合一模型” ,简称3A模型。

通过义利99指数和博时中证可持续发展100指数长达五年以上的回测分析发现,这些公司有相对更好、更平稳的市场表现,这两个指数存在Fama-French因子不能解释的超额收益率,即具有显著的正α。回归分析还显示,义利两个属性的因子都能贡献超额收益,但股票月收益率与利的指标成显著正向线性相关,与义的指标成正向线性相关但关系较弱。

“义利99” 是将上市公司对经济、社会和环境的贡献纳入模型进行量化评估的探索,有利于资本市场更好地关注上市公司的社会价值,并促进上市公司将社会价值纳入长期战略安排。

随着更多上市公司更好地承担起信息披露的责任,“义利99”未来将不会局限于沪深300,会有更广泛的应用。中国上市公司终将成为推动世界可持续发展的新动力。

Description在现代企业的运营过程中,构建高效的高管激励机制已经成为提高公司治理水平的关键。但对于我国建筑行业上市公司而言,由于受到宏观经济、政策环境特别是行业性质等内外部因素影响,建筑业企业高管激励与企业绩效传导机制有其特殊性,其有效性还有待检验。从现有研究文献分析看,总体上高管激励机制与公司业绩关系的研究结果并不一致,就建筑行业而言,还鲜有实证研究文献。本文以我国建筑业上市公司为研究对象,对建筑行行业高管激励机制与公司绩效的相关性展开实证研究,具有理论价值与实践意义。

本文依据“规范研究-实证检验-对策分析”的研究路径,主要可以分为三大部分:首先,通过规范性研究,文章梳理了相关理论基础与研究成果,揭示了当前我国建筑行业上市公司高管激励机制的建设水平,构建了高管激励与公司业绩关系研究的理论框架。其次,实证研究方面,文章运用我国110家A股建筑上市公司2013-2018年相关数据进行了描述性统计、相关性检验与多元回归分析。研究结果发现,我国高管短期薪酬激励与企业绩效正相关;建筑企业的高管长期持股激励机制不健全;短期薪酬激励对企业绩效的正影响在国有控股企业比在非国有控股企业更强;短期薪酬激励对企业绩效的正影响在大型企业比在中小型企业更强。实证检验结果与理论假设并不完全一致,可见我国建筑上市公司的高管激励机制尚不能够充分发挥作用;最后,综合考虑理论分析与实证检验的结果,为提高公司业绩,剔除实际控制人,本文认为我国建筑企业应该坚定高管激励可以提高企业绩效的认识,但针对不同业务类型、产权性质和生命周期中不能一概而论,应结合企业实际情况应该采取不同的激励方式。

Evidence is mounting to address and reverse the effects of environmental neglect. Perhaps the greatest evidence for needing environmental stewardship originates from the ever-increasing extreme weather events ranging from the deadly wildfires scorching Greece and California to the extreme heatwaves in Japan. Scientists have concluded that the probability and severity for about two thirds of such extreme natural events that occurred between 2004 and 2018 is contributed by rising global temperatures.

Operations management literature regarding environmental issues have typically focused on the “win-win” approach with a multitude of papers investigating a link between sustainability and firm performance. This dissertation seeks to take a different approach by investigating firm responses to climate change. The first two essays explore firm emissions goals and the last essay investigates firm emissions performance.

The first essay identifies firm determinants of greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets. The essay leverages Behavioral Theory of the Firm (BTOF) and argues for two additional determinants, Data Stratification and Science-Based Targets, unique to GHG emissions. Utilizing system generalized method of moments on a dataset from Carbon Disclosure Project for years 2011-2017, the paper finds partial confirmation for BTOF and support for the two additional determinants of firm GHG emission goals.

The second essay is an exploratory study that seeks to understand factors for firm participation in the Science-Based Targets (SBT) initiative by combining both primary and secondary data analysis. The study is a working paper with primary data still needing to be completed. Secondary data analysis begins with a review of the literature which suggested four potential factors: ISO 14001 certification, Customer Engagement, Emission Credit Purchases, and presence of Absolute Emissions Targets. Preliminary results using panel logistic regression suggest that Emissions Credit Purchases and Absolute Emissions Targets influence SBT participation.

The third essay seeks to understand whether stakeholder pressure drives firm GHG emissions reductions. This relies on Stakeholder Theory and classification schemes proposed in Management literature to divide stakeholders, based on their relationship with the firm, into three groups: primary, secondary, and public. Random effects estimation results provide evidence for primary and public stakeholder pressure impacting firm GHG emissions.

Description

Firms have increasingly taken on the commitment to sustainability due to environmental and social concerns. Environmental and social sustainability can create firm value and social welfare through cost reduction and revenue growth. While indicating a desire to do more, firms face challenges while engaging with stakeholders in their supply chains – suppliers and consumers. Suppliers are key partners to achieve cost reduction while customers can be the driver for revenue growth. If firms do not overcome the challenges properly, such a win-win situation of both firms and their supply chain stakeholders may not exist. This dissertation aims to understand and suggest ways to overcome the challenges which firms and their supply chain stakeholders face while collaboratively pursuing sustainability.

In the first essay, I investigate the financial impact of a buyer-initiated supplier-focused sustainability improvement program on suppliers’ profitability. The results indicate that a supplier sustainability program may lead to short-term financial loss but long-term financial gain for suppliers, and this effect is contingent on supplier slack resources. The second essay of this dissertation focuses on the consumers and investigates their reactions to two types of firm environmental sustainability claims – sustainable production versus sustainable consumption. The results indicate that firm sustainable consumption claims increase consumers’ purchase, thus leads to larger firm sales, whereas firm sustainable production claims decrease consumers’ buying intention, then result in smaller firm sales. Therefore, I show that, contrary to extant belief, firm environmental sustainability can decrease consumers’ intention to buy. Finally, a firm may be impacted when some of its upstream or downstream stakeholders, or its own operations, are impacted by a natural disaster, which are becoming more frequent due to climate change. In the third essay I study the joint effect of market attention and donation timing on firm stock returns based on the experiences of firms who donated to the 2017 Hurricane Harvey. I conclude that neither the first donors nor the followers can mitigate the negative stock returns due to disasters. However, firms who match their donation timing with market attention experience less negative stock market returns compared to other counterparts.

Digital media refers to any form of media which depends on electronic devices for its creation, distribution, view, and storage. Digital media analytics involves qualitative and quantitative analysis from the business to understand users’ behaviors. This technique brings disruptive changes to many industries and its path of economic disruption is getting wider and wider. Under the context of the increasingly popular digital media market, this dissertation investigates what are the best content delivery strategy and the new cultural phenomenon: Internet Water Army. The first essay proposes a theory-guided computational approach that consolidates distinct data sources spanning unstructured text, image, and video data, systematically measures modes of persuasion, and unveils the multimedia content design strategies for crowdfunding projects. The second essay studies whether using the Internet Water Army helps sales and under what conditions it helps. This study finds that the Internet water army helps product sales at both post-level and fans-level. The effect is largely reflected by changing the number of emotional fans. Furthermore, the earlier to purchase the water armies, more haters, likers, and neutral fans it can attract. The last essay builds a game model to study the trade- off between honestly promoting the product according to their evaluation and catering to the consumer’s prior belief on the product quality to stay on the market as long as possible. It provides insights on the optimum usage of promotion on social media and demonstrate how conventional wisdom about negative reviews will hurt business may be misleading in the presence of social media. These three studies jointly contribute to the crowdfunding and social media studies literature by elucidating the content delivery strategy, and the impact and purchasing strategy of the Internet Water Army.
