Abstract

When it comes to social responsibility nowadays we find a wide variance between what corporations are offering and what should be offered in order to accommodate to what social responsibility is based on. Firstly, let us define corporate social responsibility, CSR is basically a corporation's initiatives to assess and take responsibility for the firm's effects on environmental and social wellbeing. Regardless any assessments regulated by the government. But the question remains, is what corporations doing regarding CSR considered a real social responsibility initiative? In most cases we find that corporations are adopting charities to exploit it as an advertisement and pursue a good image. But for educated people, they can differentiate between a real social responsibility and a false one. “There is nothing wrong about being wrong. But there is a shame of being wrong and doing nothingabout it”. We can never claim that humanity have reached its optimum level of education, morality or sense. In matter of fact, we should acknowledge that the life cycle will keep teaching us a day after one. But one of the most obstacles that faces people with change is a resistance toward a change. And that’s a human instinct to resist a change, and in such a case we shall adapt all methodologies of persuasion, negotiation and bargaining in order to take life, education and science to the next level and create a new generation that thinks differently. As someone unknown said“to sustain a planned change, there is no way better than creating a country inside an existing one then proceed as a snake which changes its own skin” Here where exactly Student’s Solid Stocks (SSS) comes to perform the magic. SSS is an organization that shall be funded by the government to organize, observe and utilize a major method for implementing a real social responsibility for corporations. For now, we’ll concentrate on the main function which is allowing corporations to share a bit of their fixed operating costs with the community (students). In return, a bit of the profits shall be dividends to the students. Yet, this is a very abstracted idea towards what I aiming for. Further information will be found in the following attached slides. Keywords: Corporate social responsibility, workforce planning, venture capitalism, change.

Abstract

A firm’s ability to maintain competitiveness, comparative advantage, and long-term productivity growth depends crucially on its Strategic Emphasis (hereinafter; SE). By SE we mean the interaction between firms’ Value Creation and Value Appropriation activities. While Value Creation is based on innovating, producing and delivering products to the market, in contrast, Value Appropriation can be thought of as the extraction of profits by capitalizing on innovative and productive activities (Mizik & Jacobson, 2002). Being able to determine the SE of a firm, is an important factor in understanding the current nature of the firm, and where it is heading, based on the trade-off’s decision embedded within its SE. Despite its importance, very little is known about the role of Corporate Governance in strategic emphasis and the combined effect on firm performance. In this paper, we seek to fill this gap in the literature by providing a comprehensive analysis and new empirical evidence on the relations between CG as represented by the market for corporate control, a firm’s SE, and firm performance. We focus on market for corporate control because, as Mizik and Jacobson (2003) points out, a firm’s internal and external environments are key determinants of Value Creation and the value appropriation. Jensen and Meckling (1979) further demonstrated that the market for corporate control is one of the most important components of a firm’s external environment. Market for corporate control refers to a takeover market where the underperforming or undervalued firms become attractive takeover targets. Hostile takeovers are regarded as one of the harshest forms of managerial discipline and usually result in a subsequent loss of wealth for these managers (Heath & Norman, 2004). As a result of the threat of hostile takeovers, publicly traded firms may be more willing to act in the interest of shareholders. This happens when the internal governance mechanism (board of directors) fails. When firms perform poorly, it often indicates that there was poor internal governance and therefore external governance control takes over. The market for corporate control allows shareholders to discipline the management of the firm. Shareholders usually favor a high-performing firm that can maintain its competitiveness, comparative advantage, and long-term productivity growth and are more likely to exercise their influence over the management of firms that do not demonstrate these characteristics (Anabtawi & Stout, 2007). Although capital markets pressure top managers to focus on short-term projects and neglect innovation (Holmstrom, 1989), innovation is a major driver of economic growth (Solow, 1957; Romer,1990). Thus, this paper attempts to answer the questions: (1) To what extent does the market for corporate control affect a firm’s SE decision? (2) Given that the market for corporate control pressures managers, to what extent does it impact the firm’s allocated resources between VC and value appropriation? We hypothesize that the market for corporate control determines and impacts the intensity of the se increase whether on value appropriation or VC and what influence this direction. The rest of this paper is organized as follows. Section 2 provides related theory development, literature review and hypotheses development. Section 3 describes our data and variable construction. Section 4 describes the methodology. Section 5 discusses our main results, endogeneity concerns and robustness checks. Section 6 provides recommendations for further research and conclusion.
