This study examines how institutional shareholding affects the relationship between financial slack and corporate investment in innovation for Chinese Ashare listed companies. We find that financial slack significantly increases corporate innovation investment. Pressure-resistant institutions do not moderate the relation but pressure-sensitive institutions do moderate the relation negatively. We further find that financial slack affects beneficially results because of the employment of slack resources after an exogenous negative shock like COVID-19/Global Financial Crisis. Our findings contribute to the literature on the cross-sectional variation on the relationship between companies' strategies and accounting choices in China.
PurposeIn this paper, a combined TODIM-BSC method with the neutrosophical approach for evaluating the performance of a private insurance company has been proposed. In other words, first, using the BSC technique, and identify the performance evaluation indicators, then evaluate the performance of the insurance company's agencies and rank them with the TODIM decision-making method.Design/methodology/approachThe insurance industry has a special prestige and importance in domestic and foreign trade. The evaluation of insurance companies, in addition to informing the stakeholders, increases competition, industry dynamism, sustainable and balanced development of society. The purpose of this paper is to establish a model for evaluating the performance of private insurance companies by adopting multiple-attribute decision-making and Balanced Scorecard (BSC) with single-values neutrosophic numbers (SVNNs) which will be applied by considering a set of indicators and alternatives deliberated with different viewpoints.FindingsA case study of the private insurance agencies in one of the provinces of Iran based on 26 criteria of agencies is used to confirm the practicality and effectiveness of the proposed model. Finally, there was a discussion about why the results are logical, which shows the strength and robustness of the proposed framework.Originality/valueTo the best of our knowledge, no study has been performed to evaluate the performance of a real-world problem with the integrated TODIM-BSC method in a neutrophilic environment. Therefore, this paper can be effective in bridging the existing research gap and expanding our knowledge of the discussion of evaluating the performance of organizations or companies. Besides, by using these results, the authors can help the planners of these companies as well as similar organizations in attracting satisfaction and retaining target customers.
Using the data of A-share listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen from 2010 to 2021, we empirically test the impact mechanism of directors' and officers' liability insurance on corporate green innovation. The findings show that the introduction of directors' liability insurance plays a significant role in enhancing corporate green innovation, which still holds after robustness test and endogeneity treatment. It is further found that directors' liability insurance affects corporate green innovation by enhancing the level of corporate risk taking.
