Do Wealth Managers Understand Codes of Conduct and Their Ethical Dilemmas?

How do wealth managers understand and comply with the social norms embedded in banks’ codes of conduct (CoC), and how do they cope with ethical dilemmas? To answer these and related questions, we conduct a nonincentivized online survey with wealth management employees of the Swiss legal entity of a large multinational bank. We used situational judgment questions to estimate the comprehension and the level of expected adherence to the CoC principles. We show that framing questions under the label of “Financial Security” increased response accuracy and that employees’ honesty helped guide their decision-making toward integrity in ethical dilemmas.

Perceived product value describes consumers’ overall assessment of a product. It considers the extent to which a product meets the needs and expectations of a consumer. Product value perceptions can be understood as a trade-off between quality and price.

In this video, Wael Rouatbi presents his article entitled “The role of multiple large shareholders in the choice of debt source”, co-authored with Sabri Boubaker and Walid Saffar, and published in Financial Management in 2017. Using a large sample of French listed companies, this study shows that companies with multiple controlling shareholders tend to resort to bank debt financing.

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.

Offsetting means offsetting assets and liabilities and only reporting the net values in the financial statements. Whether offsetting should be allowed remains the largest difference between US and international accounting standards. Banning offsetting will have a significant impact on the financial statements, especially the banks. Hence, US banks stay firmly opposed to restricting offsetting in accounting due to great negative impact on the banks capital ratios.

We disaggregate the notion of ‘politics of internationalization’ through identification of a set of distinct dimensions in which politics affect firm internationalization. We find that EMNE strategies are becoming more entangled with those of governments, political parties, lobbyists, and other formal and informal institutions. In emerging economies, the state often plays a relatively active role in the economy, and EMNE strategies are more conditioned by politics, policies, and non-market considerations. We argue that the ability to leverage politics is becoming more important for the competitive advantage of EMNEs, and firms are increasingly engaging in political activities through nonmarket strategies.

Previous research examining the link between board attributes and ecological strategies such as green innovation has primarily focused on structural board attributes, yielding mixed findings. Moreover, the critical contextual grounds that shape the relationship between board attributes and green innovation have often been overlooked, leading to potential biases in empirical investigations. Considering that competence drives outstanding performance, we developed a unique measure of board competence that represents the board's intrinsic ability to perform in corporate strategies.Drawing on a holistic perspective of agency, resource dependence, and stakeholder theories, we posit a strong relationship between board competence and green innovation.Furthermore, we contend that this association is moderated by external governance mechanisms, namely audit quality, media coverage, and imitative pressure.Through our analysis of publicly traded Chinese companies, we found compelling evidence to support our assertions. These findings have important implications for policymakers, practitioners, and managers.
