This paper investigates the impact of gender quotas on firm performance using countries worldwide that have introduced a gender quota as a quasinatural experiment. Our statistical analysis shows that board members’ characteristics significantly change after implementing the gender quota. The results of our empirical analysis provide evidence that gender quotas reduce the cost of equity in the short term but decrease the Tobin’s Q in the long term and have a neutral impact on profitability in the short term and the longer term.

Activity Engagement Purchases and Happiness

Cette recherche développe un nouveau cadre conceptuel basé sur l'intention d'utilisation pour classer les achats. Elle dépasse ainsi la dichotomie dominante entre achats matériels et achats expérientiels et ajoute un troisième type d'achat : les achats d'engagement actif, définis comme des achats qui favorisent une activité de consommation soutenue dans la durée. Cette nouvelle typologie est examinée empiriquement afin de comprendre comment les différents types d'achat contribuent au bonheur du consommateur. Les achats d'engagement actif apparaissent comme un type d'achat distinct, conceptuellement et empiriquement, que les consommateurs peuvent facilement classer et mémoriser. Ils génèrent également un bonheur supérieur à celui des achats matériels ou expérientiels, ce qui s'explique par leur capacité à répondre aux besoins de compétences des consommateurs et à faciliter l'expression de leurs valeurs.

Lego Serious Play to promote cohesion in the classroom

A game to foster class cohesion? That's exactly what Nick Ware, director of the Master's in Arts and Culture Management and lecturer at BSB, implemented. Indeed, communication among international students is not always easy, especially at the beginning of a program. Lego Serious Play is a method that, through the use of Lego bricks, encourages non-verbal and metaphorical expression while creating a shared language. It ensures the involvement of every participant, including the more introverted ones. This approach has proven effective in facilitating interaction among students from different linguistic and cultural backgrounds and in strengthening class cohesion.

Consumer-activity identification: identifying antecedents and outcomes

Although consumers rely on their activities to help construct their identity, antecedents and outcomes of consumer-activity identification (CAI) have not been elucidated. This research addresses this gap through the development of a conceptual model that is tested through two studies. Study 1 finds that CAI leads to consumer-brand identification (CBI). Further, CBI mediates the relationship between CAI and brand loyalty. Study 2 expands these findings by understanding the role of brand and activity social benefits as antecedents for CAI and CBI and including a second brand outcome: brand relationship continuance. Taken together, the results indicate that consumers indeed rely on the activities a brand is used within to construct their identity in addition to the brand.

Bondholder representatives on bank boards: A device for market discipline

Nous étudions si la représentation des détenteurs d'obligations au sein des conseils d'administration peut être un mécanisme de discipline de marché efficace pour réduire le risque bancaire, en utilisant un ensemble de données unique combinant des informations sur les détenteurs d'obligations et les conseils d'administration des banques européennes cotées. Nos résultats montrent que l'influence des représentants des détenteurs d'obligations au sein des conseils d'administration des banques réduit significativement le risque bancaire sans avoir d'impact sur la rentabilité.

Women in family business boards: impact and legacy

The benefit of gender diversity on the corporate boards of family firms (FFs) continues to receive growing interest. In this paper, we examine the goals of women who hold a position on the board of directors at FFs. Goal setting has been used to identify what they want to accomplish here. How do they make a difference? This question is answered through the theoretical lens of socio- emotional wealth (SEW) and goal setting. We contribute to the literature supporting gender-diverse board composition, emphasizing the goals associated with women on FF boards, and highlighting their role in family business succession. Drawing on SEW and goal setting theory, this study examines how women’s goals influence succession. Driven by the research question, our data bring together three categories of goals pursued by women in the boardroom.

What is the Initial Coin Offering?

An Initial Coin Offering (ICO) is a modern fundraising method for start-ups, similar to crowdfunding but using digital tokens instead of traditional cash or rewards. Investors purchase these tokens, which they can later use to buy the product or resell for potential profit. ICOs provide entrepreneurs with a global financing opportunity while offering investors early access to innovative projects. Overall, ICOs connect entrepreneurship, finance, and blockchain technology, making them a revolutionary tool for start-up funding.

Environmental Tax Policies in Emerging Markets: Does Confidence in Political Institutions Matter?

The goal of this study is to examine how environmental taxes influence the comparative advantage in environmental products and carbon emissions within emerging economies. To gain a better understanding, we examine whether this impact changes depending on the level of government integrity. The results indicate that increased environmental taxes mitigate the comparative advantage in environmental goods for emerging markets. However, for countries with high levels of government integrity, higher environmental taxes enhance their competitive edge in environmental goods. Additionally, our findings show that although a rise in environmental taxes is associated with higher carbon emissions, raising such taxes results in a reduction in carbon emissions for emerging economies with solid government integrity. These findings suggest that robust political institutions are crucial in promoting the comparative advantage of emerging markets in environmental goods and mitigating climate change. In the absence of substantial confidence in political or governmental institutions, the efficient implementation of climate taxes poses considerable challenges. Furthermore, we observe that an increase in the comparative advantage of environmental goods results in a decrease in carbon emissions.
