“…The study finds that institutional block-shareholders restrain financial constraints and expropriation problems. The study of Omri, Becuwe, and Mathe (2014), examines the effect of board composition on ownership structure and innovative behaviour in Tunisia. It documents that institutional block-holders positively correlate to the proportion of outside directors on the board of directors.…”

“…Related to the discussion, for associations between nature of the firm owned by the entrepreneur and others variables, it is argued that governance ownership structure is more developed in innovative enterprise and therefore in entrepreneurial firm (Omri et al, 2014). In the same way, the structural implementation mechanisms to corporate governance are more advanced in entrepreneurial firm through innovation (Belenzon et al, 2009) and growth orientation via R&D (Tribbitt, 2012).…”

“…On other hand, Khurshed et al (2011) found that institutional block-holding is associated with directors' ownership and board composition at governance level. Also, Omri et al (2014) argued that governance based on ownership structure is associated with the enterprise innovation level. In the same vein, Bertoni et al (2014) show that enterprise age (young enterprises vs older ones) affects board independence for corporate governance.…”

This work aims to build a new entrepreneur typology in line with corporate governance approaches adopted by the enterprises and therefore to adequately implement public policy and strategy about entrepreneurship, since governance is an important basis for decision-making. Research Design & Methods: To achieve the above objective, associations are established between entrepreneur types and corporate governance approaches via multiple correspondence analysis with grouping method for discretization and variable principal for normalization. Findings: Findings highlight a new entrepreneur typology, which comprises four types of entrepreneurs with regard to corporate governance approaches. The new typology is as follows: structure-oriented shareholder; behaviour-oriented stakeholder; legal control oriented and economic-managerial control oriented. Implications & Recommendations: This work has theoretical implications which reside in the need to use corporate governance for strategic modelling. It also has practical implications in that it is easier and more appropriate to make decisions from corporate governance approaches than from types of enterprises. Thus, enterprises and the state must take advantage of these implications to improve the entrepreneurship productivity. Contribution & Value Added: This work conceives a new entrepreneur typology in line with corporate governance. Thus, it allows promoting strategic modelling based on corporate governance in business and public areas. Article type:research article

“…The study of Liu et al (2012) on how corporate governance and firm value relate during the global financial crisis finds that institutional block-shareholders limit financial constraints and expropriation problems. Omri et al (2014) examine how the ownership structure and innovative behavior relate and investigate if board composition mediates the relationship in Tunisia. The study illustrates that institutional block-holders positively correlate to the number of outside directors on a board of directors.…”

“…The extant literature on monitoring mechanisms that are with moderating or mediating variables are very few (Omri, Becuwe, & Mathe, 2014;Triana, Miller, & Trzebiatowski, 2013). None of these examine quality-differentiated auditor as a moderating or mediating variable.…”

Many companies are closing down after the global economic melt-down of 2008 that involved ERON. The biggest problem for such business failures as identified by practitioners and academicians is information asymmetry existing in the relationship of the managements with the shareholders. This study seeks to investigate how monitoring mechanisms influence the block-holders in 111 Nigerian non-financial listed companies to resolve this problem. The study also investigates the mediating effect of the quality-differentiated auditors on the relationship between block-holders and monitoring mechanisms. The investigation adopted quantitative analysis using Stata to test related hypotheses. The findings indicate that the block-holders significantly influence monitoring mechanisms. The results also reveal that quality-differentiated auditors positively affect monitoring mechanisms and that it significantly explains the relationship between block-holders and monitoring mechanisms. Thus, this paper adds to knowledge on the subject of monitoring mechanisms and its scopes (directorship, internal and external auditing). These findings have policy implications for the board of directors to execute their monitoring responsibilities and guide them in external audit type selection. The findings also provide policy suggestions for both the internal and external auditors. The results can also be beneficial for the regulatory agencies and government to further review the guidelines for corporate governance. The paper adds to knowledge in Sub-Saharan Africa, especially, Nigeria by examining a mediating effect to expose the relationship between block-holders and monitoring mechanisms, which are not clear or exist in the previous studies.
