External Financing: Market Timing Or Managerial Optimism, Beth Collins Hegab Jul 2009

External Financing: Market Timing Or Managerial Optimism, Beth Collins Hegab

Doctoral Dissertations

Management of capital structure is an important part of maximizing the firm value. Financial research has proposed many theories that explain aspects of firm behavior when a firm makes financial decisions that change the firm's capital structure. However, none of the theories fully explain why firms with similar fundamental characteristics make different financing choices.

This study focuses on what motivates managers when they are making external financing decisions. It investigated whether the motivation for the decisions about capital structure are driven by market timing or managerial overoptimism. This is done by focusing on equity and debt issues and whether these …


Earnings Management Around Mergers And Acquisitions, Eugenie Ann Ardoin Goodwin Jul 2009

Earnings Management Around Mergers And Acquisitions, Eugenie Ann Ardoin Goodwin

Doctoral Dissertations

Earnings management has become a topic of interest when trying to explain anomalies in company stock performance following corporate events such as equity offerings and mergers. If managers are trying to manipulate earnings upward to increase stock value before a merger to achieve a better exchange ratio at acquisition announcement, they may use discretion in accruals to inflate earnings and/or reduce spending in research and development prior to the announcement. Literature results are mixed as to whether firms engage in opportunistic earnings management using discretionary accruals before acquisition announcement and if this manipulation has an impact on stock performance post-announcement. …

Factors Influencing Career Success Of Minority Healthcare Industry Executives, Celesia D. Valentine

Graduate Student Dissertations, Theses, Capstones, and Portfolios

Research has been conducted on the effects of a "glass ceiling" that still exists in US organizations for racial, ethnic, and female executives. A new barrier, defined as a "concrete ceiling" that is more difficult to penetrate, denser and less easily shattered than the glass ceiling has recently been identified as a barrier to progress namely for women of color (Catalyst, 1999,2000,2001; Moore & Jones, 2001).

The primary purpose of this non-experimental, correlational, (explanatory), causal comparative (exploratory) study is to investigate the relationships among ethnicity, race, and gender on career success outcomes of healthcare executives and to examine those factors …

This type of recognition ultimately affects an organization's sustainability. To effectively conduct outreach and create an effective marketing strategy nonprofit organizations are increasingly becoming reliant on volunteers to meet these missions. With nonprofit organizations taking on larger caseloads with limited staff, organizations are becoming more reliant on volunteers, which include the Board of Directors, to assist in marketing and fundraising. …
