Intellectual property comes with risks such as value evaluation and externalities. It is an intangible asset involving a large investment and a long return period; however, it plays an important role in enhancing the competitiveness of enterprises. Some companies see intellectual property as being a long-term development strategy, which makes evaluating the performance of corporate intellectual property particularly important. The TOPSIS method is widely used to evaluate the pros and cons, as well as the performance of various programs. It can make full use of the data to accurately reflect the gaps in various programs. This paper uses the TOPSIS method to evaluate the performance of the intellectual property value strategy of six typical technology companies based on three dimensions: financial performance, external performance, and value chain performance. The study found that the value chain performance was the most important in the performance evaluation of the intellectual property value strategy, followed by the external performance, and then by the financial performance. There were also significant differences in the intellectual property value strategy of the six technology companies.
In the current era of globalization, cross-listing literature has been growing as a tool to achieve sustainable growth and provide policy implications for multinationals, international investors, and regulators. This research explores the three themes—influential aspects, intellectual structure, and conceptual structure—that underpin the growing cross-listing-based literature published in the Web of Sciences until July 2020. This study used bibliometric coupling to segregate the research front of cross-listing and then studied each theme’s conceptual structure and influential aspects separately. The analysis revealed that the cross-listing literature could be divided into three clusters: (1) price discrepancies and stock returns related to asymmetric information and market efficiencies, (2) earnings quality, earnings management, and the adoption of accounting standards, and (3) cross-listing benefits covering the growth, informativeness, and liquidity. For instance, our analysis identifies the impact of cross-listing on local market developments regarding trading volume and liquidity, secondly the benefits of financial market liberalization for cross-listing, particularly regarding the cost of capital, and thirdly the variation in abnormal returns after cross-listing with changing risk exposure, shareholding base, and amount of money raised. This research also proposes a future research agenda for the advancement of each cluster of cross-listing identified. The outcomes of this literature review will provide valuable information to practitioners and researchers and help them to further understand the broad perspective and prospects of cross-listing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
