“…In this paper, business strategy is the independent variable according to the organizational theory of Miles and Snow (1978, 2003), per the conducted studies (e.g. Sheng et al , 2019; Chen and Keung, 2019; Bentley et al , 2013; Ittner et al , 1997 Higgins et al , 2015) and the conditions in Iran.…”

“…Hence, to continue their lives and maximize the environment regarding the strong and weak points, economic firms require adopting an appropriate strategic approach to improve organizational performance (Di Meo et al , 2017). Studies on management, like Miles and Snow (1978, 2003) and Porter (1980), present several business strategy types. According to Miles and Snow (1978, 2003), prospectors and defenders' strategies are at two opposite sides of the strategy chain.…”

“…In this paper, five indices of chief executive officer (CEO) duality, CEO tenure, board independence, managerial ownership (CEO) and CEO compensation and two aggressive and defensive strategies are used to measure the management entrenchment as two ends of the business strategy chain, which are in conformity with the features of strategies of prospectors and defenders in the previous studies of Miles and Snow (1978, 2003) and Bentley et al (2013). The reason for using this classification is that the strategy of Miles and Snow (1978, 2003) is a type of comprehensive typology at the business level that, in addition to strategic orientations of firms, describes structures, processes and methods of human resources that are more appropriate for determining the strategy (Chen and Keung, 2019). Moreover, this strategy utilizes objective archive data, the methodology of which can be used for conducting studies which are also mentioned by other studies, including Sheng et al (2019), Chen and Keung (2019), Habib and Hasan (2019), Bentley et al (2013) and Higgins et al (2015).…”

PurposeThe present study's main objective is to assess the relationship between business strategy and management entrenchment in listed firms on the Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE).Design/methodology/approachIn this paper, 128 firms have been assessed during 2012–2017. The management entrenchment variable is measured using five factors: management ownership, board independence, chief executive officer (CEO) tenure, managers' compensation and CEO duality.FindingsThe obtained results show a negative and significant relationship between the aggressive strategy of the current year (and that of the previous year) and management entrenchment such that adopting an aggressive business strategy in the current and previous years can debilitate the management entrenchment. Moreover, there is a negative and significant relationship between the current year's defensive strategy and management entrenchment, and employing a defensive business strategy in the current year can also weaken the management entrenchment. At the same time, there is no significant relationship between the previous year's defensive business strategy and management entrenchment.Originality/valueManagerial entrenchment is a determining factor in the economy, and regarding the dominant norms in the emerging markets and developing countries, this factor is different from that of the developed countries. It is more important in some markets, like Iran that is dealing with economic sanctions. On the other hand, Tehran Stock Exchange observes numerous modifications, especially providing financial statements in accordance with international standards that are expected to affect the determination of business strategy in firms.

Managers consider environmental uncertainty in making decisions. Accordingly, this study aims to test the positive effect of environmental uncertainty on cost stickiness. This study also investigates the effects of environmental uncertainty on cost stickiness under different strategies. Further, firms need more able managers to deal with uncertain environments. This study observes the different effects of environmental uncertainty on cost stickiness when managers have varying levels of managerial ability. We run the panel regression analysis of 23,298 firm‐year observations in Southeast Asian countries in 2013–2019. This study documents that environmental uncertainty increases cost stickiness, and the effects are qualitatively similar for prospector and defender strategies. Further, the effect of environmental uncertainty on cost stickiness is stronger in firms with low managerial ability for both the prospector and defender strategies. Greater environmental uncertainty increases cost stickiness (ratio of SG&A to sales). This increase can be interpreted as a negative signal for future profits and a positive signal that firms retain resources to meet future sales expectations. Managerial ability affects cost stickiness. Hence, less managerial ability strengthens the relationship between environmental uncertainty and cost stickiness. This study operationalizes environmental uncertainty using three dimensions: munificence, dynamism, and complexity, which are arguably more comprehensive than prior studies that only use a single uncertainty dimension. This study also adds strategy and managerial ability to the relationship between environmental uncertainty and cost behavior. It demonstrates that firms deal with uncertainty based on their competitive advantage and managerial capabilities. This study documents the cost behavior of Southeast Asian.

Business strategy and firm efforts on environmental protection: Evidence from China

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Although business strategy plays a fundamental role in firm operations, whether and how business strategy affects firms' environmental protection behaviors remain unclear. On the basis of a typical emerging market, we show that firms following prospector strategies take more environmental protection actions than do those following defender strategies. Our findings are robust to endogeneity checks and alternative measures of business strategy. We further find that prospectors engage in more environmental activities than do defenders when the degree of financial constraint or earning management is high. Our results are particularly pronounced in state-owned enterprises, heavy-polluting industries, and firms located in regions with strict environmental regulations. Overall, this study provides clear policy implications for regulators concerned with environmental protection.
