Towards a future-oriented accountability: accounting for the future through Earth Observation data

PurposeThis paper follows the call for more future-oriented practices within organisations, particularly in relation to how they respond to growing concerns about Earth's sustainability and life on the Planet. This study aims to explore how the data produced by major scientific projects in the Space sector can support future-oriented accountability practices by enabling both a projection and an imagination of a more or less distant future, thereby feeding into accountability practices.Design/...

The micro-foundations of corporate purpose: Performance management in dynamic environments

This paper examines the micro-foundations of ‘corporate purpose’, that is the enduring reason for being of a corporation in relation to society. While the relevance of corporate purpose has been widely recognized, its practical enactment by managers at the operating level remains problematic, particularly in dynamic environments. By relying upon the field study of a leading Italian group in the food industry, and the literature on the micro-foundations of institutions, we explore the role...

The hazards of performance management: An investigation into its effects on employee absenteeism and presenteeism

Performance management (PM) practices were conceived to improve employees’ performance. However, one may ask: do they also have unintended and accompanying consequences on employee well-being? In this study, we set out to answer this question, and examined the influence of three PM practices, namely goal setting, monitoring, and performance evaluation, on two behavioral indicators of employee well-being: sickness absenteeism (not working owing to illness) and presenteeism (working despite ill...

Banks, FinTech and stock returns

This paper investigates the effect of banks' investment in FinTech firms (FTF) on stock returns. We hand-collect data on 581 investment rounds made by FTFs, within at least one European or North American bank acting as investor. Our results show that banks’ investment in fintech affect stock markets. The abnormal reaction is negative, larger for young and technology-oriented firms, and stronger in the case of multiple investments. Bank size, leverage and profitability do not moderate abnormal...

INSTRUMENTAL VARIABLES INFERENCE IN A SMALL-DIMENSIONAL VAR MODEL WITH DYNAMIC LATENT FACTORS

We study semiparametric inference in a small-dimensional vector autoregressive (VAR) model of order p augmented by unobservable common factors with a dynamic described by a VAR process of order q. This state-space specification is useful to measure separately the direct causality effects and the responses to dynamic common factors. We show that the state-space parameters are identifiable from the autocovariance function of the observed process. We estimate the model by means of a multistep pr...
