“…We reconciled the inconsistent findings (Huang, Ma, & Chen, 2019) about the influence of TMT gender structure on company innovation by assuming that the relationship could be a nonlinear one. As we know that the Norway government has authorized gender diversity as a legitimate regulation to all listed companies to keep 40% of their board seats for female directors since January 2008 (Adams & Ferreira, 2007), the appropriate percentage of female senior managers will be beneficial to the company in China.…”

Whether there is an optimal threshold interval of gender structure of the top management team (hereafter TMT) was determined from the view of maximizing the innovation capacity of the firm. Drawing upon the social role and cognitive theories, the present study applies the panel threshold regression model to reconcile the mixed findings with regard to the relationship between TMT gender composition and enterprise innovation using the data from 187 listed electronic firms in China during the period of 2012–2016. The results indicate that the significant three‐threshold effect does exist with performing the “N” correlation between TMT gender diversity and innovation. The optimal threshold intervals of TMT gender structure in national, coastal, and inland enterprises are [1/4, 3/10], [1/5, 1/3], and [1/10, 1/6], respectively.

“…Overseas developed capital markets have strong investor protection, effective legal systems, strict information disclosure requirements [57,58]. After staying abroad for a long period of time, signing auditors are deeply influenced by such values and beliefs and develop a strong sense of justice and rules [59]. As a result, signing auditors with foreign experience are more likely to protect the interests of investors, maintain professional skepticism and independence, and have more motivation to identify corporate misconduct.…”

This study investigates whether signing auditors with foreign experience influence debt financing costs. Using a sample of Chinese listed firms for the period of 2001–2016, this study hand-collects the information of signing auditors’ foreign experience and empirically examines the relationship between signing auditors’ foreign experience and debt financing costs. The empirical results show that signing auditors’ foreign experience is significantly and negatively correlated with debt financing costs, suggesting that signing auditors’ foreign experience improves audit quality, reduces information risk and thereby lowers the cost of debt financing. Further analyses show that the negative effect of signing auditors’ foreign experience on the cost of debt financing is more pronounced in audit firms without industry expertise, suggesting that audit firm industry expertise mitigates the negative relationship between signing auditors’ foreign experience and debt financing costs. These results imply that signing auditors who have foreign experience could serve a significant role in debt financing, which would strengthen firms’ sustainability.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the influence of the external environment on the strategic thinking dimensions in Malaysia and Palestine on the banking sector. Design/methodology/approach This paper focuses on dynamism and complexity in political and economic external environments. This study uses qualitative methodology through a comparative case study method. Purposive sampling was used to collect data from in-depth semistructured interviews with 33 bank executives from Malaysia and 17 from Palestine. Findings The findings revealed that the banking sector in both Malaysia and Palestine shared five common strategic thinking dimensions, including vision, creativity, conceptual thinking, futurism and opportunity. However, a sixth dimension, intent-focused, was unique to Palestinian bank executives. This study indicates that Palestine’s financial strategic thinking environment is more dynamic and complex than Malaysia’s. Additionally, the study highlights the significant influence of both microenvironments (such as types of banks) and the macroenvironment (such as political and economic situations). These findings hold important implications for decision-makers in the banking sector of both countries. Research limitations/implications As with many studies, this study has some limitations. First, the analysis examines only the turbulent and stable environment in the two countries by using a qualitative approach which enables the analysis of thoughts and actions and exposes the beliefs, perceptions, mental maps and structures of belief in their perceptions (Cavana et al., 2001). As such, the results are limited to a particular time, date and geographical location; thus, opinions and perceptions might be altered due to changes in the external political and economic environment. The second limitation of this work is that the case study might not be appropriate for generalization (Stake, 1978). Finally, the limited number of female participants in Palestine shows a high level of inequality compared to Malaysian participants. Practical implications This study explores the implication of uncertain environments at the national level on executives’ cognition and actions, links the micro- and macro-environment of the banking industry to a theoretical perspective and develops a conceptual circular model to show the effect of macro environments on bank performance. The findings offer practical contributions to the current literature, providing insights for executives to navigate a dynamic and complex banking industry. Originality/value This study fills the literature gap by exploring how strategic thinking dimensions triggered by macro- and micro-environments impact banking sector performance in Malaysia and Palestine.
