The results in a report from McKinsey Global Institute has shown companies that are data-driven make smarter decisions in strategy management and have a continuous improvement mindset. In an increasingly uncertain business environment organizations seeking competitive advantage and strategy matters more than ever. Many enterprises believe they have a data-driven culture because they generate many reports throughout their organization. Unfortunately, becoming a data-driven organization is not that simple. It's about creating a mindset in which analytics form the evidence-based decision making and unlock the full potential of data with the strategy. According to the research from MIT's Sloan School of Business, companies engage in data-driven decision making has a 5 to 6% increase in output and productivity over the firms that do not. This research will provide the discourse of how smartest organizations are embedding data analytics and transform data into insight. Qualitative research is used as the main methodology in the study. The elements of data-driven strategic decision making and the various models from the literature study are outlined in the paper. The study is innovative research since data-driven decision making is a recent idea has emerged in the last 10-15 years in strategic management of organizations.","PeriodicalId":288817,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The International Academic Conference on Management and Economics","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124164604","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}

Several Nigerian political stalwarts faced corruption charges of $22 trillion related to oil revenues between 1997-2014. The purpose of this qualitative case study is to explore strategies for the de-escalation of kleptocracy in the oil sector of Nigeria. The crime framework of Gottfredson and Hirschi grounded the study. The data collection methods were semi-structured interviews of purposeful samples and document review, which were analyzed utilizing Yin’s 5-step approach. The themes that emerged were anticorruption reorientation, ethical leadership, high self-control practice, stiffer penalties for corrupt officials, sonic therapeutic intervention, education and training, and traditional African oath of office. The results of the study are expected to contribute to positive social change in the oil industry by enlightening government leaders and anti-corruption agencies on strategies to deescalate kleptocracy in Nigeria’s oil sector.","PeriodicalId":288817,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The International Academic Conference on Management and Economics","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131212735","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}

{"title":"Are Payment Method and Financing Decision of Mergers and Acquisitions Related? Evidence from Indian Corporates","authors":"N. Rani","doi":"10.33422/conferenceme.2019.11.642","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.33422/conferenceme.2019.11.642","url":null,"abstract":"Mergers and Acquisitions (M&As) have been a global phenomenon in corporate world yet there is still scope to broaden our current understanding on the subject including the choice of payment. The financing decision also affects an acquirer's ownership structure, financial leverage and subsequent decisions. The choice of investment financing is an important decision in the field of corporate finance. Mergers and acquisitions offer an appropriate framework to study the interaction between investment and financing decisions. Do corporates have systematic preferences for the means of financing investments especially in case of corporate acquisitions? In an acquisition, the acquirer can pay the claims of the target firm shareholders either by paying cash or by issuing stock or by a combination of both cash and stock. The study examines the financing decision involved in 1041 corporate acquisitions undertaken during the period 2000-2017. The study is based on a unique database compiled from SDC Thompson, S&P Capital IQ, Prowess, Capitaline and annual reports. Multinomial logit and nested logit models have been used to examine the factors affecting the acquirer's choice of the financing sources. The study observes that size has an impact on the method of payment in case of cash Payment. A positive relationship is found between relative size and cash payment. As the relative size of the acquisition increases, cash payment becomes more likely and debt financing is preferred. For the characteristics of the acquisition, we find that an increase in tender offers leads to greater payments in cash. The findings also report that there is an increase in cross-border deals for the case of cash and mixed Payment. These empirical results of the nested logit results show that the decisions on the means of payment and on the sources of financing are determined by the different factors. The findings of this study are in line with the pecking order theory and the cost of capital considerations. When the firms have more cash with it than necessary, then there is an increase in cash/transaction value with increase in cash payment over stock payment. Acquirers are also found to use mixed Payment method, when there is a tack of cash with acquirer. The financial variables such as acquirers’ cash flow, leverage, Tobin Q are found to not have a very significant impact on the debt Payment. Cash is found to have positively affected by acquirers’ cash flow.","PeriodicalId":288817,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The International Academic Conference on Management and Economics","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129035864","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 author emphasized the importance of systems theory for the contemporary understanding of management science. The article describes the concept of social logistics as one of three basic types of logistics. The importance of identifying social needs for understanding the essence of social logistics was highlighted. The article contains a proposition of a set of elements being part of the social logistics system and the characteristics of connections between them. In addition, a composition of factors increasing the sensitivity of social logistics systems and a set of measures to strengthen the resilience of the systems in question were proposed. The second part of the article presents the results of empirical research in the field of key factors strengthening social logistics systems' resilience, which were carried out among representatives of secondary and higher schools from highly industrialized region of southern Poland. The article is another link in the series of publications on shaping the resilience of social logistics systems. Within its framework, pilot studies of both qualitative and quantitative nature were carried out leading to the compilation of a set of the most important points of sensitivity of social logistics systems and factors that could strengthen their resilience from the point of view of representatives of southern Poland's society. The factors that strengthen the resilience of social logistics systems identified in their framework have been subjected to the further research procedure described in this article.","PeriodicalId":288817,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The International Academic Conference on Management and Economics","volume":"93 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133964303","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}

Financial inclusion is one of the main policy tools to increase welfare, reduce poverty and enhance macroeconomic stability which creates different opportunities and challenges for both developing and developed countries. More than two billion people in the world that are not financially included, and the World Bank has committed to helping them gain access to financial services by 2020. This has made it necessary for policy makers to be prepared for these regulations. Thus, the purpose of this paper is estimate efficiency of financial inclusions for countries around the world by using non-parametric techniques. The results show that there are 9 countries efficient for maximizing their financial inclusion; while 128 countries are inefficient. Moreover, the paper calculates relative efficiency scores and potential recovery rates of countries in order to help policymakers about how to change macro-economic variables so that financial inclusion becomes efficient.","PeriodicalId":288817,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The International Academic Conference on Management and Economics","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133557254","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}

However, empirical outcomes have been mixed and inconsistent. The author accounts for this conundrum using a mechanism analysis. Results based on sample of manufacturing companies in Taiwan reveal that the direct relationship between top management team (TMT) strategic consensus and firm performance is negative, whereas by through decision quality, TMT strategic consensus can facilitate organizational probability. Our finding provides am alternative explanation for prior inconsistencies and points to the need for a mediation of decision-making practice to better understand consensus-performance relationship.
