<p>This manuscript is aiming at testing the extent to which the listed Palestinian corporations in the Palestine Exchange (PEX) are using the four perspectives of the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) in evaluating the performance. In order to achieve the previous objective, this paper uses a questionnaire to investigate the opinions of the financial managers of the listed corporations in thePEX. In relation to the results of the distributed questionnaire forms, there are 37 questionnaire forms, where 32 questionnaire forms were returned (32 out of 37) which presents (86.5%). This study employs the descriptive statistics in order to state the outcomes. However, the findings of this paper state the following points: (1) The financial managers rely on the financial and customer perspectives for evaluating the performance of the listed corporations in thePEX. (2) The Palestinian listed corporations do not rely on the learning and growth indicators for measuring the performance. (3) The Palestinian listed corporations do not rely on the business process indicators for measuring the performance. (4) This paper concludes that the listed corporations in Palestine do not rely on theBSCindicators for measuring the performance in a correct and complete way.</p>Finally yet importantly, this manuscript strongly recommends the listed corporations in the PEX to adopt the BSC for evaluating the performance. It also recommends the Palestine Exchange to obligate the listed corporations to use the BSC as a tool for strategic planning and performance evaluation.

This chapter argues that while informal entrepreneurship is important in transition economies (for economic growth, job generation, and welfare improvement), it opens informal entrepreneurs to bribery requests because of their non-official status. With empirical evidence from Vietnam, this chapter demonstrates that the likelihood of bribery is determined by a firm's attributes. Building on a unique dataset of 352 entrepreneurs in informal firms in Vietnam, this chapter is able to quantify bribery at the firm level and measure key concepts. The empirical findings confirm the key assumption that entrepreneurs operating in the informal sector of the same country may vary in their propensity to pay bribes due to pressure resulting from (a) factors that are specific to the firms, or (b) factors specific to their perceptions of the environment.

The Global Financial Crisis

This chapter leads a complex research study on the determinants of bank cost efficiency in transitional economies based on empirical evidence for Latin America, Central, and Eastern Europe, and South-East Asia. The empirical results suggested that banks, which follow a more cautious strategy, characterized by lower risk appetite and average expectations on profitability, have higher cost efficiency. Moreover, the empirical evidence highlighted the fact that a higher gross domestic product growth rate implies an increase in the inefficiency level, indicating an unsustainable bank management behavior, which in periods of economic growth adopts policies that can generate inefficiency in order to gain market share and to obtain higher bonuses. The global financial crisis has had a high negative impact on the banking system in transition economies.
