Effect Of Servant Leadership On Job Satisfaction In Nigerian Mortgage Banks, Adedayo Aderemi Olatunbode
Effect Of Servant Leadership On Job Satisfaction In Nigerian Mortgage Banks, Adedayo Aderemi Olatunbode
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
AbstractSeveral researchers examined the relationship between servant leadership and job satisfaction in organizations and reported a significant positive correlation between the two variables. However, the generalizability of these results was limited because 97% of the studies were conducted in the West and China, and none were conducted in Nigeria or in mortgage banks. The purpose of this nonexperimental, quantitative, correlational study was to examine the relationship between servant leadership and job satisfaction in a high-power distance culture, specifically in the mortgage bank industry in Nigeria. The theoretical frameworks were the leader-member exchange theory and motivation-hygiene theory. The research questions addressed …
Analyst Non-Gaap Reporting: When Do Equity Analysts Adjust Gaap Earnings – An Application Of Text Based Firm Complexity, Patrick Chen
Analyst Non-Gaap Reporting: When Do Equity Analysts Adjust Gaap Earnings – An Application Of Text Based Firm Complexity, Patrick Chen
CMC Senior Theses
Equity analysts adjust GAAP earnings to report non-GAAP figures that they believe better represent a firm’s current and future performance. The importance of such non-GAAP(street) figures has been determined and accepted by the literature, but the process in which analysts arrive at such figures is less understood. I apply a newly defined measure of firm complexity using text based analysis of firm annual reports and investigate its effect. When complexity increases, it becomes harder to individuate different components of a system. When that system is a firm, complexity then increases the difficulty in determining an accurate measure of performance. The …
Diversifying Investment Portfolios With Collectible Sneakers: Expected Returns And Benefits Of Diversification, Samuel Soo
CMC Senior Theses
This thesis seeks to identify if collectible sneakers can provide diversification benefits to an investor’s portfolio. Using data from a global collectible sneaker marketplace, StockX, I constructed an index to compare it with other traditional assets, including the S&P 500 index and 5-year US Treasury Bills. By calculating key metrics including expected returns, volatility, and correlation, I analyzed the risk-return characteristics of the collectible sneaker asset class compared to other traditional asset classes. From the data analysis I performed, I found that collectible sneakers did not outperform returns significantly compared to traditional asset classes, but had low correlations, which provides …

‘The Robinhood Effect’ - Digital Technology In Global Financial Markets And Its Effects On Investor Decision Making, Ben Steib
Honors Theses
We are currently experiencing a revolution that is larger, arguably, than the industrial revolution, it’s the Internet, also known as the World Wide Web. The Internet has transformed how we live — how we talk, how we work, how we go about our daily business, and how we manage our finances on a global and individual level. In the late 1990s, an investor would search the World Wide Web and, within seconds, find 3,372 websites with the term "investment,” today, the same search for “investment” yields 1,860,000,000 results. Today, as proven with GameStop and other popular ‘meme stocks,’ social media, …
Effects Of Advance Refunding Municipal Bonds After The U.S. Tax Cuts And Jobs Act, Sarah Curry
Effects Of Advance Refunding Municipal Bonds After The U.S. Tax Cuts And Jobs Act, Sarah Curry
Doctor of Business Administration Dissertations
The process when U.S. municipalities retire callable bonds early and refinance them with bonds of a lower coupon rate is called advance refunding. The advance refunding of debt is a widespread practice in municipal finance; however, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 removed the option to keep this debt tax-exempt and now requires municipalities to convert from tax-exempt to taxable. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the impact eliminating advance refunding of municipal debt into tax-exempt status has on the municipality’s advance refunding decision making process, specifically at the state level. Municipal governments are still …

Finanzas y Comercio Internacional
Actualmente las microempresas colombianas recurren, por un lado, a mecanismos de financiación tradicionales conocidos, como lo son las instituciones financieras reguladas (bancos, cooperativas y compañías de financiación) y, por otro lado, a mecanismos de financiación alternativa como crédito a proveedores, préstamos a familiares y amigos o casas de empeño, esto normalmente con el objetivo de obtener la liquidez necesaria para subsanar los gastos de funcionamiento, no obstante, algunos países recurren a instrumentos más modernos que permiten el levantamiento de capital sin las restricciones habituales de los préstamos en Colombia.

Finanzas y Comercio Internacional
En Colombia el 80% de las pymes no logra permanecer al menos un periodo de 5 años en el mercado dado que la tasa de ‘‘mortalidad’’ o ‘‘fracaso’’ es bastante alta. La principal problemática que tienen las pymes al momento de internacionalizarse es la falta de financiamiento, difícil acceso a las ayudas y solicitud de préstamos. También sumarle como problemática el acceso a tecnologías de la información (TIC), al momento de enfrentarse a otros mercados internacionales no cumplen con el nivel competitivo que se exige. La ausencia de controles es otra razón por la cual las pymes fracasan en sus …

Zoom In, Class Out: An Event Study On Publicly Traded Ed Tech Firm Valuations During Covid-19, Matiss Ozols
CMC Senior Theses
This paper examines how publicly traded Ed Tech firms reacted to negative announcements regarding COVID-19. Using an event study method, I document how an international portfolio of Ed Tech firms react across multiple event windows. The results show that Ed Tech firms reacted positively to the announcement of the first US death and negatively to the World Health Organization’s declaration that COVID-19 was a pandemic. Additionally, differences in geographical location did not impact cumulative abnormal returns across event windows. Finally, firm-specific characteristics such as volatility and financial leverage had little or no significance on stock returns.

Relationship Between Working Capital Management, Strategies, And Performance Of Nigerian Manufacturing Firms, Ayebainasuoton Francis Alagoa
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Many Nigerian manufacturing firms have faced working capital management anomalies due to concerns of balancing profitability and liquidity that led to most business failures. To remain competitive corporate managers and business leaders of manufacturing firms need to operate optimally in working capital by understanding the association between working capital management (WCM), working capital strategy (WCS), and performance. Using the cash conversion cycle theory as the linchpin, the purpose of this quantitative correlational study was to examine the relationship between WCM, WCS, and performance. The study utilized secondary financial data spanning 2014 to 2018 from a random sample of 54 publicly …

Strategies For Mitigating Voluntary Employee Turnover In Small Businesses, Eric Regneco Gant
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

An employee’s voluntary turnover could cost small business owners $3,000 to $10,000 in training and recruitment costs and reduce company performance, profitability, and competitive advantage. Grounded in Vroom’s expectancy theory of motivation, the purpose of this multiple case study was to explore strategies that owners of small businesses in the eastern United States use to mitigate voluntary employee turnover. Data were collected from semistructured telephone interviews with five small business owners with at least three years of experience mitigating voluntary employee turnover.

In the developing countries, including those in Sub-Saharan Africa, work-place gender inequality hinders the emancipation of women. The purpose of this quantitative study was to analyze the effects of foreign direct investment on gender inequality in the Ugandan private sector. Chabot and Duyvendak’s transnational diffusion theory and Becker’s theory of economic discrimination formed the theoretical foundation for the study. The research questions dealt with the relationship between foreign direct investment and the percentage of female workers, the percentage of women in leadership positions, and the gender wage gap in …

Insider Ownership And The Performance Effects Of Firm Diversification In Nigeria, Ibeawuchi Ibekwe
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

This quantitative study was conducted to examine the D–P relationship and how it is associated with insider ownership in Nigeria. Agency theory and institution-based theory formed the theoretical foundation of this study. Four research questions that focused on how diversification is related to firm performance and how insider ownership moderates this relationship were answered using the panel design variant of correlational research.

Public Investment, Foreign Direct Investment, And Budget Deficit, Komi Koutche
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
AbstractThe budget deficit is a worldwide economic problem that reduces the effectiveness of public policies in public finance. Public business leaders and theorists struggle to find appropriate solutions to address the budget deficit. However, in most countries, the budget deficit is still one of the most critical challenges. Grounded in Keynes’s general theory, the purpose of this quantitative correlational study was to examine the relationship between public investment, foreign direct investment, and budget deficit. Secondary data collected from the World Bank website representing the 76 low-income and low-middle-income countries were analyzed using multiple regression. The multiple linear regression results indicated …

The Relationship Between Capital Structure Practices And Financial Distress In West Africa, Kofi Opoku-Asante
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Many scholars have concluded that the relationship between capital structure in a business and its financial health is not clearly defined. When making decisions, managers may lack understanding of the relationship between the capital structure practice and financial distress. The purpose of this study was to test the relationship between capital structure practice and financial distress in West African companies. The capital irrelevance theory, pecking order theory, and the trade-off theory guided the research question to ascertain the relationship between capital structure practice and financial distress. The study design was a quantitative correlational design. The population was all public nonfinancial …
Three Essays On Financial Economics, Zhe Peng
Three Essays On Financial Economics, Zhe Peng
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
Essay 1 deals with a topic in market microstructure. It examines a type of trading mechanism called a speed bump. The speed bump was introduced to slow down incoming orders to reduce the informational advantage of certain high-speed traders who could exploit their information to take advantage of slower traders. In 2016, the Investors Exchange (IEX) became the first securities exchange in the US to introduce a speed bump. In our first essay, we use trading data from IEX to study this issue. IEX's speed bump includes two layers of delays: a fixed delay on displayed orders and a contingent …
