Intersecting Corporate Governance, Financial Performance, and Long-Term Value Creation explores the convergence of corporate governance, finance, and value creation in business. It offers solutions for long-term business sustainability through various models of governance and banking and finance applications. This book covers topics such as energy engineering, Islamic finance, and sustainable development, and is a useful resource for business owners, government officials, finance professionals, engineers, scientists, academicians, and researchers.

The relationship between ownership structure and firm performance has been studied extensively in corporate finance and corporate governance literature. Nevertheless, the mediation (path) analysis to examine the issue can be adopted as a new approach to explain why and how ownership structure is related to firm performance and vice versa. This approach calls for full recognition of the roles of agency costs and corporate risk-taking as essential mediating variables in the bi-directional and mediated relationship between ownership structure and firm performance. Based on the agency theory, corporate risk management theory and accounting for the dynamic endogeneity in the ownership–performance relationship, this book develops two-mediator mediation models, including recursive and non-recursive mediation models, to investigate the ownership structure–firm performance relationship. It is demonstrated that agency costs and corporate risk-taking are the ‘missing links’ in the ownership structure–firm performance relationship. Hence, this book brings into attention the mediation and dynamic approach to this issue and enhances the knowledge of the mechanisms for improving firm’s financial performance. This book will be of interest to corporate finance, management and economics researchers and policy makers. Post-graduate research students in corporate governance and corporate finance will also find this book beneficial to the application of econometrics into multi-dimensional and complex issues of the firm, including ownership structure, agency problems, corporate risk management and financial performance.

Project Report from the year 2014 in the subject Business economics - General, grade: A, , language: English, abstract: In this study we elaborate the effects of corporate governance practices which recently practiced in Pakistani firms and also examine the relationship among corporate governance mechanisms, capital structure, dividend policy and firm performance. Those researchers who could not find significant link between corporate governance and firm performance suggest that good corporate governance has at least indirect effect on performance. This research attempts to prove that corporate governance effects firm performance directly; relatively it exerts its effects on firm performance through other factors such as capital structure decisions and dividend policy. This research study develops a multilevel model linking corporate governance, capital structure, dividend policy and firm performance then proves it through structural equation modeling (SEM). Corporate governance has been measured and conceptualized through Board Size, Board Composition, CEO Duality, Audit Committee Size and Annual General Meetings. Capital structure has been measured through it standardized proxy that is debt to equity ratio, while dividend policy is measured by dividend payout ratio. Firm performance has measured by two ratios return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE) both are used as accounting and financial measure in the literature review.

Establishing a corporate governance strategy that promotes the efficient use of organisational resources is instrumental in the economic growth of a country, as well as the successful management of firms. This book reviews existing literature and identifies board structural features as key variables of an effective corporate governance system, establishing a multi-theoretical model that links Board structural characteristics with firm performance. It then, using a comprehensive empirical study of 265 companies listed on the Karachi Stock exchange, tests this conceptual model. This research serves as a significant milestone, reflecting the socio-economic setting of emerging economies, and highlighting the need for the corporate sector in emerging markets to move away from a 'tick-box' culture. It argues that the sector needs to implement corporate governance as a tool to mitigate business risks; appoint and empower non-executive directors to achieve an effective monitoring of management; and establish their own ethical and governance principles, applicable to the Board of Directors. Based on an extensive data base, collected painstakingly over five years, this book offers new insights and conceptual framework for further research in this area. Given the breadth and width of the research, it is a useful source of future reference for students, researchers and policy makers.

Family-owned businesses account for many of the small and medium-sized enterprises that exist around the world in various industries.
