Using a panel data of all listed companies in the United States from 1980 to 2016, I find that firm valuation increases with the level of and the change in institutional ownership, both in the cross-section within an industry and in the time-series within a firm. Specifically, when institutional ownership increases by 1%, firm valuation increases by 0.413% in the cross section and 0.418% in the time-series. Additionally, breaking the sample into a period with an overall growth in institutional ownership in the market (1980–2005) and that with stable institutional ownership (2006–2017), I find that the relationship is stronger during the period with growing institutional ownership than afterwards. Additionally, the marginal increase of institutional ownership led to a faster positive movement of firm valuation. When the changes of institutional ownership increase by 1 percent, firm valuation would increase by 0.544% in the cross section and 0.569% in the time-series over the whole sample period. These results potentially suggest that the behavior of institution investors lay positively impact on the firm valuation. Institution investors tend to grab more information on the market and are more professional in analyzing the firms, which could also be the reason for the herding behavior of individual investors.","PeriodicalId":47594,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business Economics and Management","volume":"85 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80492702","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, to solve these problems, this article proposes a production model based on Total Productive Maintenance and Systematic Layout Planning, which focuses on machinery and human resources to increase the Productivity of companies in this sector. The model simulation was carried out using the Arena software, where a 7.69% improvement in Productivity was obtained and a reduction of up to 32 days in the cycle time.

The purpose of enterprise management is to improve performance better and faster, optimize the various problems that exist in the process of enterprise survival, and achieve enterprise goals. Since its establishment in 2013, JC has also experienced a rapid growth phase, but the early growth of corporate performance was slow and the company entered a bottleneck in its development. This study investigates JC E-commerce Company as a case study to examine the reasons, process and results of using KPI performance management methods. JC is a private e-commerce company in China. In the early days of its establishment, JC underwent several changes, including corporate mergers and acquisitions, the introduction of advanced production technologies, and a focus on internal innovation, but corporate development was still unsatisfactory and the return on investment remained low. After changing the way of performance management, JC’s performance reached higher than before. At present, there are two main performance management tools widely used by well-known group companies worldwide, one is the Key Performance Indicator (KPI), which was developed earlier, and the Balance Scorecard (BSC), which was created in the early 1990s and is widely used. KPI is JC’s main way of performance management. In a highly competitive business and rapidly changing market environment, the success of business operations depends on achieving higher levels of product quality, cost, innovation, and speed in delivering new products. Therefore, performance management activities aimed at improving the overall performance of the company by promoting the performance of the company and its employees in these areas are receiving increasing attention from companies. This paper will investigate the process JC’s performance management, and then explain the strength and weakness of KPI.","PeriodicalId":47594,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business Economics and Management","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74085882","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since there is not much empirical research on the link between gender diversity and sustainable growth of banks, this is a very important step toward further understanding the impact of female directors on boards in the long run in the financial sector. Using the data of 318 bank-year observations from 30 commercial banks in Vietnam for the 2010 – 2020 period, we find that gender diversity on boards significantly contributes to banks’ sustainable growth rate. Our findings remain unchanged after taking endogeneity issues into consideration and using different measures of board gender diversity. This study adds to the existing literature regarding the banking sector and suggests that banks should concentrate their efforts on hiring more female directors.","PeriodicalId":47594,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business Economics and Management","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80760197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
