Escolhas e caminhos para a construção de desempenho superior : um estudo longitudinal sobre orientações estratégicasCorrêa, Daniel Kroeff de Araujo January 2008 (has links)
presente trabalho tem o objetivo de analisar o desenvolvimento das orientações e escolhas estratégicas, ao longo de dez anos, em empresas brasileiras de performance superior. A partir de uma abordagem longitudinal, de natureza qualitativa, foram analisadas duas empresas em posição de destaque no cenário mercadológico nacional. As empresas estudadas foram o Grupo Gerdau e a Natura Cosméticos S. A. Para acessar as orientações e escolhas estratégicas, optou-se por uma triangulação de fontes primárias e secundárias, que incluiu entrevistas com Diretores, Presidentes e Executivos, análise de relatórios anuais e análise de campanhas publicitárias, pelo período dos dez anos. Os resultados revelam que as orientações estratégicas norteiam o desenvolvimento de estratégias, que possuem um forte componente cultural e que embasam as práticas gerenciais das companhias. As contribuições da tese aqui apresentada incluem a identificação das interações entre as orientações estratégicas desenvolvidas para responder às mudanças no mercado, bem como a indicação de algumas das iniciativas desenvolvidas pelas companhias no sentido de estender suas crenças, valores e competências a seus fornecedores e clientes.Ademais, foi possível observar como evoluem, nas grandes companhias que foram analisadas, as escolhas e caminhos estratégicos, ao longo de um continuum de tempo. Outro importante resultado da pesquisa aqui apresentada foi a identificação do caráter estável e constante da orientação estratégica central de uma dada companhia. Além disto, foi possível identificar os componentes das diferentes orientações estudadas o que fornece insights e auxilia na demarcação dos conceitos para futuros trabalhos que possam ser realizados sobre o tema. / The present work aims to analyze the development of strategic orientations and of strategic choices along a period of ten years, in Brazilian companies which present superior performances. Employing a qualitative longitudinal approach in the present study, were analyzed two different companies which posses a standing out position on national marketing scenery. The studied companies were Grupo Gerdau and Natura Cosméticos S. A. In order to access their strategic orientations and choices, it was made an option for a triangulation technique, which included interviews with some of their directors, presidents and other executives in charge, and the analysis of annual reports and of publicity campaigns made throughout this selected period of ten years. The results of this research gave evidences of the facts that the strategic orientations lead the development of the company strategies, and that they possess a strong cultural component, and that they base the managing practices of the companies. The contributions offered by the here presented thesis include the identification of the main interactions between the strategic orientations developed by the firms to propose an answer to the changes observed in the market, as well as the indication of some of the initiatives which were developed by the companies, aiming to extend their beliefs and values and competences to their suppliers and clients. Additionally, it was possible to observe, in the analyzed companies, how do evolve the strategic choices and the strategic routes, along a continuum of time. Another important result brought out by the same here presented research was the identification of the standing and constant character of the core strategic orientation in a specific company. Moreover, it was also possible to identify the components of the different studied orientations, and this aspect offer important insights and helps on the establishment of concepts and constructs for future works to be made on the same subject.

Control and directors' remuneration in large British companies: An empirical investigation of directors' shareholdings and remuneration, and the implications of remuneration patterns for managerial theories of the firm.Lowes, Bryan January 1985 (has links)
Literature on the divorce of ownership from control has
emphasised the declining proportion of shares owned by salaried
managers who control large companies. Because these salaried
managers have negligible proprietarial interest in the companies
they manage, some writers have suggested that they will have
different motives to owner-managers. In particular, managers'
direct pecuniary interests may cause them to pursue company growth
at the expense of profit, for managers' salaries tend to be related
to the size of the companies which they manage rather than the
profitability of those companies. These alternate motivations were
incorporated in various managerial theories of the firm developed in
the late 1960's which emphasised company growth as a key objective.
An investigation of the shareholdings and salaries of the
directors of major British companies confirms that the proportion
of total shares held by company directors has fallen over the years,
though it is argued that shareholdings are still large enough to
allow directors to exercise effective control over their companies.
In addition, while the proportion of total shares held by directors
is small, these shareholdings are often large in absolute terms and
constitute a significant source of directors' income, though the
size of directors' shareholdings varies considerably between
industries. Combined dividend income and capital appreciation of
shareholdings match the remuneration which directors receive as
salary income. It is argued that these profit-related income
elements are sufficiently large to cause directors to attach
priority to profitability goals. This proposition is explored
through statistical analysis of the relationship between directors'
remuneration and company performance. Regression results show that
as the definition of directors' remuneration is broadened to include
dividends and capital appreciation as well as salary, company size
variables diminish in importance as determinants of remuneration and
profitability variables predominate. Managers do have an incentive
to pursue profitability. / Bradford University Research Committee

Marital Status of Executives and Company PerformanceDay, Ilona 01 January 2017 (has links)
This research paper explores differences in company performance levels, as measured by selected company fundamentals and annual return, with regard to the marital status of top executives, specifically the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer. It examines whether the differences in firm performance are determined by the marital status of the respective business executive. Groups of never married, married, and divorced executives are compared against each other to establish if and how the company performance changes between these groups. Summary statistics of the examined variables in conjunction with the results of the simple and multiple regression analyses indicate that marriage clearly has a detrimental effect on a firm’s performance. By contrast, divorce is beneficial as it contributes to improved firm performance.
As previous research has revealed, professional performance of top executives, particularly CEOs, as well as money managers is influenced by distractions originating in their personal life events. Because human attention is naturally limited, major life events, such as marriage or divorce, can have detrimental effects on the professional performance of a business executive, and therefore also on the firm performance. Consistent with the results of previous research, the data analysis identifies marital status of CEOs and CFOs as a significant determinant of firm performance.

The value of financial ratio analysis in predicting the failure of JSE listed companies / Ronel Juliana CassimCassim, Ronel Juliana January 2014 (has links)
The objective of this study investigated the successful prediction of business failure
of JSE listed companies using financial ratio analysis. During the research, financial
statement data of failed and non-failed JSE listed companies during 2007-2012
financial periods were analysed, compared and interpreted. The interpretation of the
trends and comparisons is of a quantitative nature, together with a qualitative genre
which examines the tables, figures and equations in order to get the entire picture of
the company’s performance for a five year period. The combination of literature on
various failure predictor models and experience of these models resulted in the
development of a modified model. The conclusion from the study indicated that financial ratio analysis successfully predicts failure and non-failure of the 16 companies that were investigated. These companies were grouped into eight delisted (failed) and eight listed (non-failed) JSE companies, which were paired in accordance to industry, fiscal period and closest asset size. The adoption of the traditional ratio analysis methods and EMS model yielded some interesting findings. The traditional ratio analysis methods (trend and comparative ratio analysis) were used with the Emerging Market Score (EMS) Model. The outcomes indicated the traditional methods are viable company failure prediction tools and the EMS model points out companies at a score of 2.60 and above as being financially stable. Between 2.60 and 1.10 the results are not very dependable because it is known that the company is in distress, yet uncertain whether the company has financially failed and below 1.10 the company has failed. It was concluded that a combination of the various prediction models enhances the accuracy of failure prediction. Therefore further research is required to assist stakeholders of South African companies to predict business failure by developing an adjusted model in a South African context. / MCom (Accountancy)--North-West University, Vaal Triangle Campus, 2015

Akciové pobídky a výkonnost společnosti / Equity incentives and company performanceŠářec, Theodor January 2019 (has links)
1 Abstract The equity-based incentives are considered to be one of the instruments helping to motivate executives. The use of this compensation framework should in theory tackle and mitigate the agency problems, and prevent the possible attempts of managers to pursue their own interest over the interests of shareholders. The literature focusing on the effects differs greatly. There is no conformity over the effect of equity compensation on company performance. This research study the effect of CEO-related equity incentives and stock ownership on company performance. The main finding is the positive effect of the equity incentives measured by the percentage of CEOs' equity- based compensation on company performance proxied by the change in Tobin's Q. The thesis does not find any significant effect of insiders' stock ownership. The dataset of 107 publicly traded US companies is used for the empirical analysis. The results are estimated based on a fixed effects model and pooled ordinary least squares. This thesis contributes to the ongoing debate over the effects. It also widens the narrow literature on the structure of compensation.
