Some prior research shows that overly busy directors are ineffective monitors, but these same “busy” directors can be valuable sources of information and other resources. For example, directors who are centrally located within a network can obtain information faster and those who are connected to other highly connected directors can access larger quantities of information. The information can take many forms including market trends, business innovations, and effective corporate practices and is available through these director network channels. However, increased information transfer speed (network centrality) and quantity (connections to highly-connected others) may not always balance out the negative effects of overcommitted directors, information overload, and the propagation of poor business practices. Using social network analysis, we investigate whether well-connected directors increase firm value and find that firms with well-connected directors have higher market value, after controlling for their operating cycle, investment opportunity sets and market competition. We also find that well-connected outside directors (independent) have a bigger impact on increasing firm value than well-connected inside directors.","PeriodicalId":43299,"journal":{"name":"JASSA-The Finsia Journal of Applied Finance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78780986","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}

We discuss problems and challenges risk executives have encountered that were not addressed in the literature. Overall, the key findings of our survey are as follows: First, surprisingly, COSO (Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission) was not considered a key source of information and guidance. Second, major challenges still remain for new implementers. Third, much more work is needed in the areas of research and case studies so that risk executives can learn from the experiences of others who have successfully implemented enterprise risk management. Fourth, many areas clearly remain to be explored and discussed before a common understanding or methodology for enterprise risk management could be considered to be in place; and fifth, we find that experienced risk executives are not only much more familiar with the literature, but they also find publications about ‘risk in general’ very useful at early and advanced stages of enterprise risk management implementation.","PeriodicalId":43299,"journal":{"name":"JASSA-The Finsia Journal of Applied Finance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89994540","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 results from these studies, conducted in all sectors of agriculture except horticulture show high levels of occupational exposure. We present a pilot study conducted in two horticultural farms in Ruwa and Domboshawa 25 kilometres and 30 kilometres from Harare respectively in 2001.The main objective was to establish the level and prevalence of pesticide exposure in workers in the horticultural industry. Blood samples were collected from 33 workers from the two farms. Cholinesterase activity was measured using the WHO cholinesterase kit and organochlorine residues were analysed using the GC method. Organochlorine residues were detected in the following order of frequency, pp-DDT, 100%; op-DDT, 100%; aldrin, 95%; a-HCH, 100%; dieldrin, 86.4%; heptachlor, 22.7% and opDDD, 18.2% from the blood samples analysed. The ppDDT isomer was the major contributing isomer to the sumDDT. The two isomers a- and s-HCH were also detected in the samples analysed and the former being the major contributing isomer to the sum-HCH. In Ruwa the exposed subjects had higher DDT blood levels than the control group though this was not statistically significant (p=0.1855). There was also no significant difference in the mean DDE levels of the exposed group and the control group (p=0.6851). Significant differences were however noted in the mean blood levels of a-HCH (p=0.007) and aldrin (p=0.0187). In Domboshawa there were no significant differences in the mean blood levels of organochloride residues between the exposed and the control. No significant depression of the cholinesterase activity was observed. The results demonstrated a high level of pollution of human blood with organochlorine residues. The pollution was due to both occupational and environmental exposure.

A cross sectional study on the prevalence of G6PD deficiency in was carried out on 200 blood samples from various private surgeries and three major Hospitals in Harare during October and November, 2001. The blood samples were screened for the prevalence of G6PD deficiency using the NAPD oxidoreductase method. One hundred and eight (54%) were males and 92 (46%) were females. A p-value of 0.1096 indicated no statistically significant difference between the two sexes. Twenty-three out of the 200 (12 %) were G-6-PD deficient while the remainder 177 (88%) were found to be normal. Stratifying the 23 optical density values of the deficient samples in this study showed that four (17%) had values equal to and more than (>) 0.400 indicating severe deficiency and 19 (83%) had values between 0.330 and less than 0.400 indicating mild deficiency. Optical density stratification may give a possible grading system in the deficiency rates. A well planned, large and more controlled research study is required to assess G6PD deficiency in Zimbabwe more effectively.
