The influence of executive age,career horizon and incentives on pre-turnover earnings management 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Wallace N. DavidsonIII Biao Xie Weihong Xu Yixi Ning 《Journal of Management and Governance》2007,11(1):45-60
In this paper we hypothesize that CEOs will be motivated to manage earnings prior to a turnover decision. This motivation
comes from the horizon problem for CEOs nearing retirement age and for CEOs whose profit-based bonus is a large portion of
their total compensation. We find that firms in which CEOs are nearing retirement age have large discretionary accruals in
the year prior to turnover. Although we find firms with a larger proportion of profit-based bonus pay have larger discretionary
accruals, this result is not robust with the inclusion of control variables in the regressions.

The Organizational Architecture of Nonprofit Governance: Economic Calculation Within an Ecology of Enterprises 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
This paper treats nonprofit firms as elements within the ecology of enterprises that constitute an economy. Within this ecological
framework, nonprofit governance must to a significant extent be guided by economic signals generated through market competition.
After we examine the problems of economic calculation that nonprofit enterprises face, we consider the organizational logic
of nonprofit firms as one that is driven by the creation of points of contact with the market economy. The operation of this
logic creates some general limit on the range and size of nonprofit firms, and also presents issues of governance that differ
from those faced by profit-seeking firms. Subsequently, we use our conceptual framework to illuminate some issues concerning
the organization of nonprofit firms.

Successful open source software (OSS) projects can be considered as examples of how ambitious work results can be achieved
in web-based collaboration even when monetary incentives are low or absent. While former explorations of motivational processes
in OSS projects primarily focused on person-oriented aspects such as motives, interests, and expected benefits of contributors,
job-related factors have been largely neglected. After discussing the limitations of a person-oriented focus, a research perspective
is suggested that concentrates on job design and work context in OSS based on frameworks from work psychology. A theoretical
analysis is presented discussing job characteristics of successful OSS projects as potential explanations of the high motivation
of OSS contributors. Compared to a person-oriented perspective, the results of a job-oriented approach might be better transferable
to other projects (both OSS and “closed source” software development) and provide guidelines for the governance of successful
web-based collaboration.

Practitioners and scholars have grown increasingly interested in recent decades in how public administrators should and can
work with the constituencies they serve. To date, most of this conversation has focused on citizens and broader communities
rather than on stakeholders more generally, but these other stakeholders, ranging from oversight policy-making bodies to private
sector and nonprofit contractors to governmental partners, are no less important than the general public. The purpose of this
paper is to propose a first step that many agencies might take in thinking about their range of stakeholders, a step that
we term a “stakeholder audit.” A stakeholder audit entails (1) mapping the universe of an agency’s stakeholders, (2) assessing
the agency’s perceived needs for additional information relative to various stakeholder groups, and (3) developing suggestions
on how to obtain that information. After first discussing the more general idea of stakeholder analyses, we describe the stakeholder
audit technique, and illustrate how it has been applied to a particular agency, the State of Georgia’s Department of Transportation.
We conclude by considering how a stakeholder audit could represent a first step for an agency in improving relationships with
its stakeholders.

Our study analyzes financial reporting data on earnings management from a rapidly changing economy—the PRC. Some Chinese regulatory
reforms allow for an easy identification of incentives to engage in both accounting and real earnings management activities.
In addition, straightforward economic reasoning suggests that firms incur different costs for pursuing these strategies, which
leads to the possibility of a hierarchy or ranking of different earnings management practices. Our results show that accounting
and real earnings management activities were significantly higher for firms in danger of missing a regulation imposed performance
threshold. After controlling for the availability of the different instruments, our results provide weak evidence for a ranking
of different earnings management activities.

The Japanese government implemented drastic restructuring of the central government in 2001. As a part of this reform, the incorporated administrative agency (IAA) system was newly introduced in view of carrying out certain public functions in a more flexible, business-like and autonomous way. Research and development activities in the public sector are now mostly conducted by the incorporated administrative agencies. In this article, the purpose of this reorganization is firstly described followed by the outline of this system and current accomplishments. In concluding, the Japanese undertaking of a new public organization is analyzed in comparison with the European and “Anglo-Saxon” countries.

In 1819, the US Supreme Court ruled in Dartmouth v. Woodward that Dartmouth College, even though originally chartered by government, was legally akin to a private corporation. This landmark
decision was the founding legal document of what has become the American private nonprofit sector. While the decision has attained hagiographic status, this paper explores what the US nonprofit sector would
look like if the Supreme Court had ruled the other way. Using alternate history and scenario writing as research methodologies,
it highlights the invisible losses due to the decision and depicts what a public nonprofit sector would have looked like.

In this paper, we study the management of financial risks of a custom manufacturer in the specialty chemicals industry arising
from increased volatility of profits caused by market uncertainty and growing competitive pressure due to globalization. We
argue that such risk management can be established either by creating and utilizing flexibility or by adjusting the risk preferences.
Using a model-based approach, we operationalize flexibility and risk preferences to show their effects on the profit/risk
and the decision making of a firm through a stylized example motivated by the specialty chemicals business.

This article compares how local public administrators and executive directors of community-based housing organizations (CBHO)
perceive nonprofit funding decisions. The article’s findings suggest that both groups shared perceptions about the scope of
affordable housing and factors influencing its funding. Yet, important differences existed. Public administrators were ambivalent
about nonprofit capacity and affordable housing outcomes. They also underestimated the importance of networks, partnerships,
and minority leadership. Professionals in the nonprofit sector underestimated fair housing concerns and overestimated the
importance of promoting homeownership. These insights improve our understanding of the connection between funding patterns,
public-nonprofit sector relations, local governance, and administrative structures.

Regarding the effect of product variety on purchase probability, there exist findings which demonstrate a positive effect
of variety for small assortments and a negative effect of variety for large assortments. Despite these results, little evidence
exists about the causal mechanism of this effect. We conduct a field study among German consumer electronics customers to
investigate the previously proposed constructs of anticipated product utility, anticipated regret and evaluation costs. The
results suggest that anticipated regret and evaluation costs play a powerful role in explaining the negative link between
variety and purchase probability for high variety assortments. Anticipated product utility on the other hand serves to explain
part of the positive causality for low variety assortments. The results obtained give rise to recommendations for the planning
of assortments.
