TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between intra-regional sales, product diversity, and performance of 45 merchandising firms using data from 1997 - 2003 is explored, using a curvilinear relationship, integrating three main theories, namely the resource-based view, transaction costs, and organization learning theory.
Abstract: This study examines the relationships between intra-regional sales, product diversity, and performance of 45 merchandising firms using data from 1997 - 2003. The interaction effects between product diversity and intra-regional sales on performance are explored, using a curvilinear relationship. The analysis integrates three main theories, namely the resource-based view, transaction costs, and organization learning theory. The models measuring a firm’s performance by return on assets (ROA) and return on sales (ROS) show that at high levels of intra-regional sales, small levels of product diversity can generate greater return to a firm but high levels of product diversity may hurt a firm’s performance. Higher levels of intra-regional sales tend to enhance the impact of product diversity on performance. The results are sensitive to the choice of performance measure.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined stock returns and operating performance of the 101 firms that emerged as "no longer sick" from the bankruptcy proceedings during the period 1992 to 2006 and showed that market is not considering the event of "emerging from bankruptcy" as a positive surprise.
Abstract: The legal and regulatory framework in India provide for reorganization of sick (defined as accumulated losses exceed net worth) but potentially viable firms. We examine stock returns and operating performance of the 101 firms that emerged as „no longer sick‟ from the bankruptcy proceedings during the period 1992 to 2006. Our short run as well as long run analysis of market performance using various expected return models and estimators show that market is not considering the event of "emerging from bankruptcy" as a positive surprise. In contrast to the results from US market, our analysis of stock returns around the following four quarters‟ earnings announcements indicates that the market for these stocks is informationally efficient. It is evident from the analysis of operating performance that sample firms are neither making superior operating margin nor utilizing the assets efficiently after emerging from bankruptcy. Hence, our study raises doubts over the efficiency of bankruptcy proceedings and it may be possible that the proceedings may allow inefficient firms to reorganize and survive.
