This article investigates the moderating role of board independence in the relationship between debt financing and performance of emerging market firms. We have used an empirical model in which the firm’s accounting profitability is a dependent variable and the independent variables are debt financing, board independence, the interaction variable made of debt financing and board independence as well as various control variables. Our analysis is based on a panel data set of 300 listed firms in Vietnam between 2013 and 2017. Our study finds that debt financing has a significantly negative effect and that board independence reduces the adverse impact of debt financing on accounting profitability. Our results are consistent across different estimation models and methods.

The Relationship

Purpose This study aims to examine the mediating role of internationalization in the relationship between the dimensions of entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and performance, empirical study of small and medium scale enterprises (SMEs) in a developing nation. Design/methodology/approach The study uses a sample of 158 exporting SMEs based in the sub-Saharan developing economy, Ghana. The use of hierarchical regression (ordinary least square analysis) was used by the researcher to assess the suggested model of the study. Findings Largely supporting the conjectural predictions, the study indicates that EO positively and significantly influences performance; internationalization fully mediates the relationship between innovativeness and performance of export firms; internationalization fully mediates the relationship between risk-taking and performance of export firms; and finally, internationalization partially mediates the relationship between competitive aggressiveness and performance of export firms. Managers are, therefore, encouraged to strategically develop both their EO and internationalization, as the study has confirmed that EO has both a direct and indirect relationship with performance. Originality/value This study integrated a resource-based view of the firm and international entrepreneurship theory as a theoretical foundation. Theoretically, internationalization’s mediating role reveals the relevance of this construct in the linkage between entrepreneurial orientation and firm performance. Furthermore, the study extends the entrepreneurial orientation concept to the international business literature by estimating and testing models of the mediating link between entrepreneurial orientation and performance. Moreover, the study seeks to broaden the knowledge of entrepreneurial orientation and its relationship with performance in small and medium businesses. The study further extends the limited studies on performance, driven by entrepreneurial orientation and internationalization in a developing nation (Ghanaian) context. This paper besides seeks to highlight the impact of entrepreneurial orientation on performance when channeled through internationalization. The study also reveals the dimensions of entrepreneurial orientation to be important antecedents of internationalization, in attempts at unearthing the critical predictors of firm performance, especially those of international characteristics.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to explore a model to measure the money deposit bank financial sustainability based on ownership structure and to examine the moderating role of managerial intention on managerial ownership and foreign ownership. Design/ Methodology/ Approach An elaborate literature review was conducted to identify the variables and a proposed conceptual model was conceived. Findings A conceptual model was presented after the discussion of relationship and literature review that examined ownership structure, managerial intention and financial sustainability. Originality/Value Many scholars have investigated the different dimensions of ownership structure, managerial intention and performance, however little research has been done on the integration of ownership structure and financial sustainability. Furthermore, there is also a dearth in literature that examine the moderating role of managerial intention on the relationship between ownership structure and financial sustainability.

Moderating Role

The low performance of Nigerian firms despite investment in intellectual capital is a major concern. While studies have shown that corporate governance practices strengthens the subsisting relationship between investment in intellectual capital and performance in the  developed economies, this moderating effect in Nigeria is yet to be adequately explored as research focus is limited to possible effects of intellectual capital and performance. It is against this background, this study investigated the moderating role of corporate governance on the relationship between intellectual capital and performance of listed non-financial companies in Nigeria. The study adopted ex-post facto research design, and data were drawn from the audited annual reports of fifty (50) listed non-financial firms for a period of 2007 to 2017. Multiple regression techniques were employed to test the relationship among the variables. The results of the study revealed that both intellectual capital and corporate governance drive financial performance as the relationship is found significant in all components. The study concluded that corporate governance moderated the effect of investment in intellectual capital on financial performance. The study recommends that Board of directors should adopt measurable corporate governance mechanism which strengthens and helps in investment strategy that increases and improves performance. Also, there is need to entrench corporate governance as a control strategy and impetus towards attaining organization’s goals.
