With the worldwide growth of mergers and acquisitions (M&As), a number of studies in recent years have called their relative success into question. One reason for the poor performance of a number of deals may be negative employee reactions, such as employee turnover. Despite the widespread perception that M&As often lead to employee turnover, there is surprisingly weak empirical support provided in the literature. In particular, we know notably little regarding the characteristics of those who are departing. In this study, I address this gap by using a unique dataset resulting from the merger of Bureau Van Dijk’s Zephyr M&As database and Danish register data. Additionally, I explore the heterogeneous effect of different types of M&As across employee groups. I find that M&As generally increase the probability of employee turnover, particularly for employees with relatively low human capital. Nevertheless, the effect varies significantly for different types of M&A.
随着全球并购的增长,近年来的一些研究对并购的相对成功提出了质疑。许多交易表现不佳的一个原因可能是员工的负面反应,比如员工离职。尽管人们普遍认为并购经常导致员工离职,但文献中提供的实证支持却令人惊讶地薄弱。特别是,我们对那些即将离开的人的特征所知甚少。在本研究中,我通过使用由Bureau Van Dijk的Zephyr并购数据库和丹麦注册数据合并而成的独特数据集来解决这一差距。此外,我还探讨了不同类型的并购在员工群体中的异质效应。我发现,并购通常会增加员工离职的可能性,尤其是对于人力资本相对较低的员工。然而,对于不同类型的并购,其效果存在显著差异。

Family planning plays a central role in contemporary population policies. However, little is known about its long-term consequences in old age because of the identification challenge. In this study, we examine how family planning affects the quality of life of the Chinese elderly. The direction of the effect is theoretically unclear. On the one hand, having fewer children allows parents to reallocate more resources to themselves, improving their well-being. On the other hand, having fewer children also leads to less care and companionship from children in old age. To empirically probe the effect of family planning, we identify the causal impact by exploiting the provincial heterogeneity in implementing the “Later, Longer, Fewer” policies in the early 1970s. We find that the policies greatly reduced the number of children born to each couple by 0.85. Parents also receive less support from children in terms of living arrangements, inter vivos transfers, and emotional support. Finally, we find that family planning has drastically different effects on elderly parent's physical and mental well-being. Whereas parents who are more exposed to the family planning policies consume more and enjoy slightly better physical health status, they report more severe depression symptoms. Our study calls for greater attention to the mental health status of the Chinese elderly.

Bartley Madden, a leading management consultant and author, follows up after Edmund Phelps' leading article on innovation and mass flourishing with specific recommendations for business managers.Madden identifies a firm's knowledgebuilding proficiency as its most important capability in order to survive and prosper over the long term. Even a firm's competitive advantage and intangible assets are best understood as the result of its ability to build knowledge. Along with a firm's organizational structure, knowledge‐building proficiency coordinates and improves work, innovation, and resource allocation.Madden is very critical of much of the current academic finance research that, while ostensibly focused what creates “excess shareholder returns” (i.e., economic profit or economic value‐added), is actually irrelevant to a fundamental understanding of what creates long‐term value.Academic studies are usually just statistical factor analyses. Even when economists study individual firms, they usually do so by modeling them simply as production functions: management is assumed to coordinate factors of production to make and sell products until marginal costs equal marginal revenue and profits are maximized. Such a firm is assumed to have clear boundaries and its management tightly controls the work of employees and the accumulation and allocation of its physical assets.Instead, Madden proposes a new and more sophisticated concept of the firm to position human capital, in general, and knowledge‐building proficiency, in particular, at the center of value creation. In this connection he offers two business exemplars: the American retailer Walmart and the Chinese Haier Group that makes consumer electronics and home appliances.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explain how ecosystems and platforms have evolved to manage customer information and to identify the management, research and teaching implications of this evolution. Design/methodology/approach This paper is based on research and industrial experience of two of the co-authors in customer relationship management, further developed with other co-authors in the field of business models, the research and teaching experience of the university authors and cross-functional literature reviews in the areas of strategy, marketing, economics, organizational behaviour and information management. Findings This paper shows that digitalization, cloud computing and new information-based platforms are beginning to change how customer information is being managed, creating new opportunities for improving marketing, customer relationship management and business strategy. Research limitations/implications The impact of platforms on the management of customer information needs to be confirmed by primary empirical research. Practical implications This paper identifies the need for senior marketing management to examine closely how internal and external/public customer information platforms may enhance their capability for managing customers and setting new strategic directions. Social implications The emergence of giant multi-sided platforms has clear implications for data protection and privacy, which need to be explored more in research. Originality/value This paper highlights the move to customer information platforms and identifies how senior managers should consider them as an option for better customer information management and as a basis for new business strategies.

Some strategic decisions will long be remembered for being remarkably successful, providing dramatic benefits to customers, investors, or social welfare. The individuals who make these decisions are often called “visionary.” But what enables some people to be visionary? Is it a gift or skill, and can it be learned? In this paper I identify three main cognitive processes that underlie the creation of visionary strategy: abstraction, idealism, and long paths of analytical reasoning. Using a combination of examples and cognitive science, I explain how they work individually and in combination, and how they may be cultivated.

Research Summary: While extant research recognizes the importance of collective action for market formation, it provides little understanding about when and to what extent collective action is important. In this article, we develop a novel theoretical framework detailing what collective action problems and solutions arise in market formation and under what conditions. Our framework centers on the development of market infrastructure with three key factors that influence the nature and extent of collective action problems: perceived returns to contributions, excludability, and contribution substitutability. We apply our framework to diverse market formation contexts and derive a set of attendant propositions. Finally, we show how collective action problems and solutions evolve during market formation efforts and discuss how our framework contributes to strategic management, entrepreneurship, and organization literatures. Managerial Summary: This article lays out the key considerations that players operating in new markets should contemplate when making nontrivial investments in those spaces. As collective action problems can thwart efforts to establish new markets, we ask: When and under what conditions should market players collaborate rather than act independently? And if players collaborate, how should they coordinate to establish a new market? To address these research questions, we develop a novel generalizable framework of collective action in market formation. Our framework assesses the presence and type of collective action problems that hinder market formation and identifies potential solutions tied to those collective action problems.

Purpose: The study aims to examine and evaluate the impact of five Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) factors, i.e., Commitment of management, Communication, Training & Education, Health Care and Policies in predicting construction workers’ behavior in construction projects of Oman. Design/methodology/approach : A questionnaire was designed, and data was collectedon arandom sampling basis. Two hundred and fifty-twosamples were collected, and the data was analyzed using Smart PLS -Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) technique. Findings: The study shows thatCommitment of management, Communication, and Training &Educationplays a pivotal role in inspiring the construction workers to improve their perception towards Health and Safety behavior. These factors help in theclear-cut understanding of safety issues and aid in skills development and increase capabilities. All the factors influence the sustainable positive OHS results. Research limitations/Implications : The present study covers only the construction workers. Entire stakeholdersinvolved in construction project (contractors, clients, and consultants) canbe includedfor further studies. Social Implications: The study will help to improve the Health and Safety practices in the construction industry and expected to bring in more awareness among workers, which will inevitably bring in a culture of safe behavior. The ultimate result will be asubstantial reduction or elimination in safety-relatedincidents, which helps all the stakeholders (Contractors, Clients and Consultants). Originality/Value: Only a very few have examined the impact of Occupational Health and Safety factors on the workers’ behavior, and usage of SmartPLS is a novel idea, and it is a first-hand study of its kind.

The recent surge in the use of team-managed funds in the mutual fund industry suggests that the benefits of team management might outweigh its costs. However, extant empirical evidence is not consistent with the view that team-managed funds generate superior returns relative to individual-managed funds. We argue that the benefits of team management are likely to be manifested in the presence of strong board monitoring because the potential free-rider problems within team-managed funds are alleviated. Our findings, that smaller boards and boards with a higher proportion of independent directors are positively associated with performance in team but not individual-managed funds, are consistent with this view. Our results suggest that in team-managed fund structures, where the potential free-riding problems exist, the presence of strong board monitoring improves fund performance.
