Data related to CSR disclosure and nonfinancial data were obtained from annual reports and websites of manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Financial data was collected from Thomson Reuters Eikon database. Hypothesis testing was conducted using panel data regression analysis. Based on the 130 sampled companies during the period 2014–2016, we found that CSR disclosures have positive effect on firm value. Interestingly, risk management applied by the company does not help maximize the value. This might be because the risk management information is not presented comprehensively that it does not help investors make investment decisions.","PeriodicalId":15043,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asia-Pacific Business","volume":"21 1","pages":"143 - 160"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10599231.2020.1745051","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45531722","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since ASEAN is a high user of standard-like NTMs relative to other measures, this begs the question if there is an intentional shift toward murky protectionism in the region. Grounded on a few criterion to establish potential protectionism, the paper forwards the plausibility of “hidden” barriers in the standard-like NTMs drawing upon related secondary data, and specific illustrative cases of harmful and burdensome NTMs in the individual ASEAN countries. From the narrative experiences of ASEAN, it is inferred that procedural obstacles, directly associated with a reported standard-like NTMs, instead of the NTM itself, account for the “hidden” barriers in ASEAN. The paper concludes that irrespective of the motivation for protectionist NTMs, whether unintentional or intentional, procedural obstacles deserve attention in their own right. Regulatory reform for the standard-like NTMs is therefore needed at the national-level of the AMS to get rid of those “hidden” barriers.","PeriodicalId":15043,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asia-Pacific Business","volume":"21 1","pages":"57 - 76"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10599231.2020.1708232","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45814814","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The human capital of a firm has proved itself a source which provides employers with a competitive advantage. In recent years employers have adopted certain practices aiming to attract talented employees. Employers spend a considerable amount of their resources on becoming an employer of choice. The researchers in the present study have adopted a scale in an attempt to study the employer branding factors influencing the attraction and retention of employees working in various banks (both private and government) in Delhi NCR, India. The study also attempts to observe the differences (if any) with respect to gender as well as government/private sector employees concerning employee attraction and employee retention. The results of the present study suggest market value and social value as the factors determining the employee attraction, whereas, career development and image as the factors determining employee retention.","PeriodicalId":15043,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asia-Pacific Business","volume":"21 1","pages":"27 - 38"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10599231.2020.1708231","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44793236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
