An Industry Analysis Of Firms Forming Part Of Our Subsamples

North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is the standard used by Federal statistical agencies in classifying business establishments for the purpose of collecting, analyzing, and publishing statistical data related to the U.S. business economy.

Values of equity are calculated using industry adjusted earnings-price ratio and finite-horizon expected return model. Ng and Zabihollah (2015) used the Kinder, Lydenberg, Domini (KLD) database during 1990 – 2013, and collected data from financial reports and stock return data from Compustat and the Center for Research in the Security Press (CRSP). The findings are associated with ECON negatively with the cost of equity, but only growth and research from environmental and governance sustainability performance dimensions contribute to the relationships. Ng and Zabihollah (2015) suggested using a two-way clustering approach for robust standard errors clustered by industry and years could help address these problems of economic

For each measure, I attempt to build the best empirical mapping as made available by my data. First, I calculate a firm’s value by adding the book value of debt to the market value of equity. I measure profitability as net income over firm value, financial leverage as book debt over market equity, capitalization as book equity over assets, growth as market equity over book equity, and volatility as the quarterly standard deviation of daily log returns. For ease of replication, I collect these variable definitions into the appendix. Note that although the growth variable appears similar to the usual Tobin’s q measure of non-bank firms, banks by design have a large proportion of their assets held as debt in the form of deposits, so the usual approximation of neglecting liabilities does not apply. For bank-specific variables, I also compute total income as non-interest income plus net interest income. I construct the non-interest income ratio (NIIR) by dividing non-interest income by total income, the non-bank subsidiary ratio (NBSR) by dividing the count of non-bank subsidiaries (NAICS codes not equal to 5221) by total subsidiaries, and normalize loans and debt by dividing by value. All figures use the fullest available information. All tables drop all observations missing any relevant variables. I report all ratios in percentage terms. To control for outliers outside the scope of this paper, all ratios are winsorized at the 1% level, where the sample is across all available bank-quarters in the

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is the standard used by Federal statistical agencies in classifying business establishments for the purpose of collecting, analyzing, and publishing statistical data related to the U.S. business economy. (North American Industry Classification System, n.d.). NAICS is a 2 through 6 digit hierarchical classification system, offering five levels of detail. Each digit in the code is part of a series of progressively narrower categories, and the more digits in the code signify greater classification detail. The first two digits name the economic sector, the third digit designates the subsector, the fourth digit designates the industry group, the fifth digit designates the NAICS industry, and the sixth digit designates the national industry. The 5-digit NAICS code is the level at which there is comparability in code and definitions for most of the NAICS sectors across the three countries participating in NAICS (the United States, Canada, and Mexico). The 6-digit level allows for the United States, Canada, and Mexico each to have country-specific detail. A complete and valid NAICS code has six digits (North American Industry Classification System, n.d.).

“BIPAC is an independent and bipartisan organization with members consisting of businesses and trade associations that, among other activities, provides its members with factual information about key issues that are likely to have an impact on business, and in turn, its members provide this information (such as voting records) to their employees or constituents, usually through a government affairs website or department.” (Minerva Marketing (2008).) BIPAC has a “Prosperity Project” that was designed to drive any organization’s grassroots strategy using website and other informational reports to get the word out to the employees. The survey

In conclusion, the conglomerate wave of the 1960s and the takeover movement of the 1980s shifted the focus of corporations away from serving the interests of all groups of corporation’s constituents towards serving the class of elite. This shift in the objectives of corporations has created a set of social issues associated with the vast inequalities, growing rates of precarious employment and the transfer of wealth from the majority of population to the selected few individuals. In the 1980s, corporations experienced a decline in profits and employees in different industries experienced massive layoffs, while the payout ratio of shareholders and corporate executives increased from 42 percent to 57 percent. In the 1990s, layoffs did not decrease,

Q1. There are a number of ways to analyze industry concentration. Three ways commonly used are the n-firm concentration ratio, the Herfindahl Index and even the Gini coefficient. These will be discussed in turn for their mechanics and the way that they are, or can be, used in assessing industry concentration.

By generating a new variable-underpricing dummy, we can use the dummy variable to run a logit model for comparison with the standard OLS regression. The result persistently indicates a correlation between underpricing and ln book value. In addition, positive ebitda before now is likely to explain the underpricing with a far smaller p-value and a higher z-statistics to state its significance.

Moreover, as new platform hubs grow, foreign auto suppliers may build new plants in the U.S. to serve them. Nine out of 10 of the world’s largest automakers and 46 of the world’s top 50 global automotive suppliers have opened R&D facilities in Michigan alone.

Because of people’s lifestyle tends to be healthier according to National Restaurant Association’s survey in 2010, but pizza consider as a junk food so the industry started to offer salad bars and began to add gluten-free and low 0carbohydrate items on the menus with low trans fat pizza. Also it offers vegetables, calcium, and protein for the pizza topping.

However, with a practical point of view, the conditional independence (or unconfoundedness) is stronger than the assumption used in statistical software. It means that the treatment does not influence on the conditional mean of each potential outcomes after controlling the covariates. In this study, it is possible to show that general firm characteristics are similar between the treatment group and the control group except firm value. Therefore, it is possible to hold the conditional mean independent assumption after matching a sample, although it is difficult to hold the conditional independent assumption.

Table 1 reports correlation coefficients among the variables. The correlation between network variables and market value varies and, excluding Closeness, is between 0.23 and 0.32 something well below 0.80, that could be a concern for multicollinearity. However, Degree and Betweenness have correlation 0.85, indicating that the best way to examine network variables is by using one network variable in every regression, to avoid using spurious regressions. We also found that Management Compensation (Comp) has a high correlation with market value, so we replace it in our study by the Compensation over market value that does not correlate significantly with other variables.

Being one of the largest companies in the world, one could assume 3M would be a lot to manage. Organization is a key for the company. They are broken into 5 different segments: Industrial, Safety and Graphics, Health Care; Electronics and Energy, and Consumer (See Appendix 2 for Organic Growth Revenue of each Segment). This organization is a huge help for 3M to know who the base target audience of each segment is, meaning they always know a general audience for each 5 segments. The industrial segment is made up of anything from automobile parts to industrial tapes. One specific company that makes industrial tapes is a huge part of the 3M company. This company is Scotch Tape. This is a great example of a way 3M has a company help them market a product as well as both companies. Appendix 3 shows a great example of a Scotch Tape advertisement that also benefits 3M. Even though the companies are technically connected, it is a great way to market them as individual companies almost which brings focus not only to Scotch but to 3M as a whole. This strategy can have satisfied customers know that 3M made the Scotch brand product, and make them trust the 3M brand and want to buy more products from them. marketing for the product. 3M has many companies they can do this with, and have proven that it is a great marketing strategy for them. The next segment is the safety and graphics section. This segment primarily makes items that are not relevant to any consumers, and are rather aimed

This article uses empirical research method to test the proposed assumptions by summing up multiple cases. Specifically, 10 Russian companies will be chosen and these samples will be divided into two groups. The first group has five companies, four of which are from the Fortune magazine's latest list of the world's top 500 companies and the other is based on data from the Russian Stock Exchange. Because the enterprises on the list have the strongest profitability around the world, so the selected Russian companies earn more profits than other companies in the country. In the screening process, the samples need to be sorted by rankings, and if there is no chairman’s statement shown in a one enterprise, it will be

An organization would have to decide whether to sell propylene, isopropanol, isopropyl acetate (chemical intermediates), and/or plastics.
