▼ Within the educational literature on change, one often-cited element of successful reform efforts is the existence of teacher
ownership in the change process. However, the construct of
ownership is ill-defined and little empirically-based research exists to support the assertions of its importance. This dissertation is a compilation of journal ready manuscripts designed to engage the educational community in a discussion about teacher
ownership, what it is and what it looks like in an educational context and begin the discussion of empirically validating its potential contributions to supporting teacher change.
The first article is a literature review of what we know about the construct of
ownership and how it is potentially fostered. We offer a definition of teacher
ownership based on the empirical and theoretical data presented. We then conclude with a discussion of the need for a more systematic examination of the importance and potential impact of
ownership on reform efforts.
The second article is a contextual study discussing the pervasiveness of large-scale reforms designed to make significant pedagogical changes in classroom teaching. The efforts of the state of Georgia to implement ambitious mathematics standards forcing large-scale mathematics education reform, serve as the setting for this study.
The third article is the main research study examining the experiences of two expert Georgia mathematics coordinators as they act as change agents in the statewide reform effort. We found that these mathematics coordinators seek to foster teacher
ownership of the new standards by helping the teachers connect the state mandate to the local context. The participants are uniquely positioned as intermediaries between the demands of the reform effort and the needs of the teachers. It is through this lens that we describe what
ownership looks like in an educational context and present findings on how it may be fostered.
Finally, the fourth article in this series synthesizes the work from the first three articles for a wider audience of education administrators, school leaders and others interested in educational reform. This article is designed to help administrators think about how to bring together top-down mandated reform efforts and locally-owned initiatives and priorities.

▼ This paper examines the performance of banks by classifying in terms of their
ownership to explore the effects of
ownership and performance. The researcher begin by documenting the extent of, theoretical rationale and measured performance of state and private owned banks around the world, and then assessed the performance of banks in Ethiopia. The empirical evidence clearly shows that state owned banks are superior in performance than privately owned banks, and from eleven ratios used to measure performance seven supports for state
ownership and the remaining supports private
ownership. In case of growth pattern of deposit, loan and asset, private banks show better trend than state owned banks

▼ Pay dispersion within firms and workplaces has been linked to a range of employee attitudes and employee behaviors, and thus to diverse individual and group outcomes. The outcomes of pay dispersion are highly contingent: the contingency explored in this study is employee stock ownership, which is both a form of compensation and of broad profit-sharing of future capital gains in the firm, and which has been shown to influence attitudes and behaviors Employee ownership was considered as a moderator because its support for cooperative attitudes may enhance the motivational aspects of higher pay dispersion while countering the feelings of inequity that higher pay dispersion may foster. Interactions between pay dispersion and individual-level employee stock ownership as well as group-level stock ownership were hypothesized and tested. While most of the relationships that were hypothesized were not supported, there were a number of interesting results in this exploratory study, which suggest several takeaways. One type of result that stood out was that certain outcomes were associated with certain professions, such as job satisfaction for sales employees and absenteeism for production employees, suggesting different mechanisms for future study. Another interesting result was the consistent association between higher pay dispersion and improved attitudes. Lastly, the negative interaction between employee ownership and pay dispersion, when each individually had a positive association with improved attitudes, suggests a substitutive relationship between the two aspects of compensation, meaning organizations may wish to choose between higher pay differentials or higher employee stock ownership, with the choice contingent on the industry or job type involved.

▼ The past decades have witnessed overall growth in broad-based employee stock
ownership plans among U.S. firms. However, in recent years ESOP growth has stagnated, and there has been limited research on why firms pursue employee
ownership. This study revisits earlier work on predictors of employee
ownership, expanding on previous studies that focus on firm-level predictors. I investigate whether industry characteristics can explain firm decisions to adopt employee stock
ownership plans (ESOPs), exploring a critical variable of interest with important consequences for society: product market concentration.
I find that product market concentration, a proxy for firm market power, is indeed, a positive predictor, explaining inter-industry differences in ESOP prevalence. This study makes a unique contribution by using industry panel data to examine the extent to which product market concentration and other industry characteristics predict ESOP adoption, pushing the boundaries of current thinking on firm motives and environmental conditions predictive of firm ESOP adoption.

▼ The self-
ownership thesis claims that all persons own themselves and therefore have overriding control of their bodies and labor. Libertarians have argued that the self-
ownership thesis also generates robust property rights to things produced with one’s labor, and prohibits redistributive taxation of any sort. Robert Nozick, in particular, argues for robust property rights not only to the products of one’s labor but to natural resources, which on his view can be acquired without the consent of others. I argue that the self-
ownership thesis generates a host of desirable individual rights and freedoms, and conditions property and other normative rights to the products of our labor and resources in the world so as to protect and enhance individual freedom and autonomy to pursue a good life. However, I argue against the libertarian analysis of self-
ownership, concluding that self-
ownership does not justify full, liberal property rights to the products of one’s labor, nor does self-
ownership generate unilateral rights to appropriate natural resources, or prohibit restrictions to the privatization of these resources, so long as these restrictions do not abrogate individual freedom and autonomy to pursue a good life.

▼ In developed economies, firms have rapidly expanded
production opportunities in other countries. However, the
difficulties in achieving efficient management in foreign countries
have also been long-standing concerns. In this paper, we try to
investigate the managerial intentions behind the organizational
choices. Under what conditions will MNEs (multinational
enterprises) maintain dominant control of affiliates, or what will
they do if such conditions are not satisfied? Will they choose to
share the management of foreign affiliates, or will they contract
out their activities to local firms? Specifically, we discuss what
determines co-
ownership and how different degrees of
ownership are
utilized when setting up new firms. Outsourcing is taken into
account as the important alternative to the activities by
affiliates of MNEs. Our focus is on the decision when MNEs in
developed countries set out to less developed countries, seeking
export platforms. The setup is based on some actual contracts for
equity joint ventures used between local firms and foreign firms,
to clarify the role of
ownership. We then propose a model and
highlight two factors. One is the degree to which a local firm can
satisfy the qualifications requested by an MNE. The other factor is
the degree to which an MNE needs location-specific knowledge for
management. We discuss how these benefits and losses are affecting
an MNE's choices of investments, efforts, percentage of
ownership,
or transaction price for outsourcing. In our empirical analysis, we
approach these questions using the data of Japanese-owned foreign
affiliates located in Asia, and the data of multinational firms. We
find that an MNE with prior experience in the host country has a
significant likelihood to choose its foreign direct investment with
fully foreign-owned operations. When an MNE chooses a joint
ownership, we also find that an existing procurement network by
incumbent firms in a local industry is an effective factor. It is
found that a greater
ownership share is allocated to a local
investor, than in the case without such networks. In addition,
these economic factors are found to be more influential than some
political factors.

▼ In de afgelopen decennia is de gedachte dat
ownership bij de ontvangende partij cruciaal is voor het slagen van
ontwikkelingssamenwerking een dominante overtuiging geworden in het internationale debat. Het concept
ownership blijkt in de wetenschappelijke literatuur echter slechts zeer beperkt uitgewerkt. De vraag die centraal
staat in dit onderzoek is welke rol
ownership speelt in de Nederlandse ontwikkelingssamenwerking en welke
factoren hierop van invloed zijn. Het antwoord op de hoofdvraag wordt gegeven door middel van een
beleidsanalyse en een case-study bij Agriterra, een ontwikkelingssamenwerking op het gebied van landbouw.
Ownership is in dit onderzoek gedefinieerd als de mate waarin een ontvangende partij verantwoordelijk is voor de
agenda, het initiatief en de inhoud van een programma of project waarbij het maximale niveau van
ownership is
dat een ontvanger deze op stelt zonder inmenging van de donor. De literatuur stelt dat
ownership van belang is
omdat het ervoor zorgt dat ontvangende partijen zich committeren aan ontwikkelingssamenwerking, en ervoor
zorgt dat interventies aansluiten bij de lokale behoeften en context. De literatuur biedt nauwelijks
aanknopingspunten voor factoren die het ontstaan van
ownership bevorderen of belemmeren.
Uit de beleidsanalyse blijkt dat
ownership een rol speelt in het Nederlandse beleid op twee manieren. Rond de
eeuwwisseling zijn er een aantal institutionele veranderingen doorgevoerd om
ownership te vergroten, zoals het
overdragen van de verantwoordelijkheid voor de uitvoering van bilaterale samenwerking naar de ambassades, en
het waar mogelijk geven van hulp in vormen die aangepast zijn aan de voorkeuren van ontwikkelingslanden zoals in
de vorm van begrotingssteun of aan sectorbrede programma’s. Daarnaast geeft Nederland er de voorkeur aan
samen te werken met ontwikkelingsorganisaties die een bepaalde mate van
ownership bij de ontvangende partij
leggen en dit is dan ook een criterium bij het bepalen welke ontwikkelingsorganisatie financiering krijgen.
Binnen Agriterra wordt
ownership gezien als een belangrijke factor voor het slagen van programma’s, ten eerste
omdat als er sprake is van
ownership er ook sprake is van commitment, en ten tweede omdat
ownership ervoor
kan zorgen dat plannen beter aansluiten bij wat een lokale partij nodig heeft en wilt bereiken. Er wordt enerzijds op
ownership geselecteerd, Agriterra werkt alleen samen met boerenorganisaties die een authentieke vraag hebben
naar wat Agriterra te bieden heeft, en daarnaast probeert Agriterra
ownership op twee manieren te vergroten. In
de eerste plaats door veel vrijheid en vertrouwen aan de ontvangende partij te geven en in de tweede plaats door
de ontvangende partij eigenaar te maken van kennis of expertise door deze met eigen ogen te laten zien door
bijvoorbeeld studiereizen of adviezen van boer tot boer. Het doel hiervan is de kennis te internaliseren bij de
ontvangende partij waardoor deze hier verder mee kan.
Factoren die het ontstaan van
ownership belemmeren zijn deels cultureel, deels pragmatisch en…

▼ The effect of institutional ownership and ownership concentration on the firm’s stock returns and volatility and financial performance has long been an interesting issue in the international business literature. A lot of debate has been going on regarding the relationship between institutional ownership, ownership concentration, returns, volatility and financial performance. The objective of this thesis is to study the effect of institutional ownership and ownership concentration on firm stock returns and financial performance of the listed companies in the Egyptian Stock Exchange. For this purpose, panel data model is employed. The results from the analysis show that institutional ownership has no effect on ex post stock returns as well as ex ante stock returns. On the contrary, institutional ownership represented by top management and individuals have a negative and significant effect on stock volatility, while employee associations have a positive and significant effect. No significant effect is detected on ex ante risk except for employee associations that have negative and significant effect on ex ante risk. In addition, the results show that institutional ownership has no effect on stock liquidity except employee associations and individuals that have a negative and significant effect on stock liquidity. Finally, the results show that institutional ownership represented by companies, holdings and individuals have negative effect on financial performance represented by ROA and ROE. Also, institutional ownership has no effect on debt to equity ratio except banks that have negative and significant effect and employee associations that have positive and significant effect. The results also show that ownership concentration has no effect on ex post stock returns but it has a positive effect on ex ante stock returns. Also, it has no effect on ex post risk but it has a positive effect on ex ante risk. On the other hand, ownership concentration has a negative and significant effect on stock liquidity. Finally, the results show that ownership concentration has no effect on either financial performance represented by ROA and ROE or debt to equity ratio. As such, the thesis makes an important contribution to the literature, since it tests the impact of ownership type and concentration on ex ante returns and volatility of stocks in Egypt, an emerging country that has been ignored in literature. Also, the analysis extends the literature by decomposing institutional ownership to several types. Moreover, it adds two components of volatility, volatility clustering and persistence, testing their effect on ex post and ex ante risk, which is not dealt by previous studies.

Effect of ownership structure on the dividend decision for firms operating in emerging markets.

▼ This paper analyzes whether concentration of ownership impacts the dividend decision of firms operating in emerging markets. I collect financial information for firms in China, India, Pakistan, Brazil, Chile, and Argentina from the Mergent Online Database for the end of year 2007 and then compare summary statistics for firms from each country to those of firms from the developed market of the United States. Statistical tests are conducted to determine whether the independent variables of ownership structure, profitability, debt management, equity valuation and industry classification have any impact on the dependent variables of payout percentage and dividend yield for firms in these markets. Analysis of the firms operating in China suggests that along with the profitability measures of return on equity and return on assets, the amount of equity held by the majority shareholder is significant in determining the amount of dividends paid. Dividends paid by the Brazilian firms analyzed are also significantly related to the amount of equity held by the majority shareholder as well as the market capitalization of the firm. Data for firms from the other four countries of India, Pakistan, Chile and Argentina did not yield enough information for accurate statistical testing, but summary statistics are included for comparison. Controlling for other firm characteristics that can impact the dividend decision, the results are consistent with my hypothesis that ownership structure is a significant determinant of the amount that firms in emerging markets choose to pay out as cash dividends. This highlights the importance of understanding ownership structure when evaluating the financial decisions of firms operating in these markets.

▼ Scholars have increasingly recognized the importance of institutional owners in
the life of the firm and have sought to explain how and when these owners influence
firm-level strategies. In spite of evidence that these owners can and do affect broad
strategies, there is little empirical support for the extent to which institutional investors
involve themselves at the level of strategic competitive actions that firms undertake. This
raises the question: "How do different types of institutional investors affect strategic
competitive activity between firms?" Further, owners have a unique bearing on
competitive activity insofar as they can simultaneously influence firms that are
competing with each other. Therefore another important question is: "How are the
relationships between institutional investors and strategic competitive activity affected
when those investors hold stakes in both the focal firm and their competitor?" Borrowing from the accounting literature, this dissertation classifies institutional
owners into three groups based on their historical trading behavior: transient, dedicated,
and quasi-indexer. Findings from examination of the
ownership holdings and strategic
competitive activity of thirty-six Fortune 500 rivalries over the years 1997-2006 provide insight into these questions. High levels of dedicated institutional
ownership are
associated with greater strategic competitive activity whereas high transient institutional
ownership is associated with low strategic competitive activity. The relationship between
dedicated
ownership and strategic competitive activity is moderated by common
ownership of a focal firm and its rival. As dedicated
ownership of the focal firm and its
rival increase together, strategic competitive activity is reduced. The results presented
here change the way we apply agency theory to explain firm governance. For competitive
dynamics researchers, this study points to a previously unexplored means by which firms
are motivated to engage, or not engage, in competitive activity. This study also has broad
implications for managers, investors, and policymakers.

▼ The goal of this thesis is to extract from the Homeric and Hesiodic poems Archaic Greek thought on the concept of personal
ownership and its interrelation with plunder. As is often the case when working with the Iliad and Odyssey, the discussion is broader in focus than is currently the norm for academic theses. In this instance a
wide-ranging scope is necessary, since the purpose is to identify patterns concerning
ownership and plunder in the epics. The process of extrapolating the depictions of life in the Homeric epics to the conditions and realities of Archaic Greece is achieved most effectively by ascertaining unified portrayals of concepts as opposed to minutely
analyzing singular occurrences in the works...

▼ It is believed that home ownership has a positive
connection with family formation and child bearing as there is a
speed up process of attaining home-ownership when the couples are
in anticipation of starting family and having children. However,
home ownership in relation with family formation and child bearing
are not always in positive connection as other factors are
necessary to be taken into consideration when associating
relationship between them, such as (i) postponement of marriage and
child bearing, (ii) family background, (iii) housing markets and
financial systems, and (iv) government policies which will be
investigated internationally in this research and tested the
hypothesis in Hong Kong.
With the family budget constraints,
cost competition between housing and marriage or child bearing is
one of the significant factors affecting the couples’ decision in
home purchasing. Our empirical results from the questionnaire
survey demonstrated that home ownership is perceived as a
precondition to marriage and child bearing and indicated that the
cost competition between becoming home owners and becoming parents
was strong. Postponement of marriage and child bearing are found
over the past decade and decrease in number of children that the
respondents wanted to have are the current trend. Our empirical
results also show that family background is an important factor
affects decision of the couples in home purchasing when getting
married and in anticipation of having children. Facing a budget
constraint, most of the young couples depend on their parents who
are in owner-occupied housing tenure for financial assistance to
succeed their home purchasing dreams.
Nowadays, Hong Kong
residential property value has also increased sharply in recent
years and costs of housing with increasing mortgage rate would
affect decision of the young couples in home purchase, a series of
measures are therefore launched by the government to solve the
problems of housing since its inauguration aiming at increasing
private and subsidized housing flats as well as land for affordable
housing development to cool down the overheating property market.
People’s home purchase is greatly affected by the prevailing
housing policy found in the survey and their recommendations to the
government are to provide more HOS flats, stabilize the house
price, increase in amenities and facilities provision in the suburb
housing developments and resume Home Assistance Loan Scheme in
order to satisfy their housing needs in forming families and
planning to child bearing.

▼ This study examines the effects of
ownership structure on firm performance in the Vietnamese stock market using a sample of 76 manufacturing companies listed on the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange (HOSE) during 2007-2015. Firm performance is measured by Tobin’s Q, and
ownership structure is investigated in three different aspects: managerial
ownership, block
ownership and state
ownership.
Descriptive statistics reveal a significantly concentrated
ownership structure in the manufacturing companies listed on the HOSE. In each company, the largest owner on average owns 40% of its total shares, which is nearly three times higher than that of the second largest. Executive managers on average hold around 15% of firm shares, of which the majority belongs to the Board of Directors. State
ownership is at a moderate level of 20% on average, but it varies significantly across companies as well as through time.
Given multiple sources of the endogeneity of
ownership structure, instead of traditional OLS and Fixed-Effects, the well-developed system-GMM estimator is employed to examine the effects of
ownership structure on firm performance. Empirical results show a cubic relationship between managerial
ownership and Tobin’s Q, i.e. positive at low and high levels of managerial
ownership and negative at the middle level, while block
ownership has no impact on firm performance. It implies that internal managerial incentives play a more important role than external monitoring from outside shareholders in improving corporate governance quality. It also indicates that to increase firm performance, shareholders in general and blockholders in particular, should monitor more closely and be involved more actively in the day-to-day operations of the firm, or even engage directly in corporate governance by undertaking positions in management teams. On the other hand, an inverted U-shaped relationship between state
ownership and Tobin’s Q is discovered, indicating that partial privatization could be an efficient way to improve firms’ financial performance.

▼ Afghanistan wordt al decennialang verscheurd door oorlogen. Het meest recente conflict was de invasie in 2001 van een internationale troepenmacht om de Taliban te verdrijven. Deze steng islamitische regering bood namelijk onderdak aan de verantwoordelijken van de aanslagen van 11 september 2001. Nadat het regime was verdreven moest het land opnieuw worden opgebouwd. De internationale gemeenschap, alsmede de nieuwe Afghaanse regering willen wederopbouw onder verantwoordelijkheid van Afghanistan zelf, zogenaamde nationale
ownership van ontwikkeling.
Ownership bestaat uit een kwalitatief of niet-tastbaar onderdeel en een kwantitatief of tastbaar aspect. De nadruk in dit stuk ligt op de tastbare variant, aangezien die op dit moment de boventoon voert in het land.
Ownership is nu nog moeilijk uitvoerbaar in Afghanistan. Dit komt door corruptie; verschillende andere machthebbers in het gebied naast de centrale regering; conditionaliteit van ontwikkelingshulp; en het feit dat vele vijandige strijders zich in Pakistan verschuilen. Leger en politie, de overheidsinstituties die veiligheid moeten garanderen, zijn nog veel te veel afhankelijk van de internationale gemeenschap, in het bijzonder van ISAF. Wanneer Afghanistan werkelijk verantwoordelijkheid wil voor zijn eigen wederopbouw, dient het eerst voldoende eigen middelen te generen.

▼ Compared with other countries, China’s privatization has not been fully successful, as profitability decreased following share issue privatization. This thesis focuses on two features that affect post-privatization performance in China: regional disparity and the inefficiency of board structure.
It is argued that privatization does not mean just the transfer of ownership from the State to the private sector, but the combination of such ownership transfer with deregulation and the injection of domestic and foreign competition, as well as institutional changes. It is shown that performance varies with the extent of regional development proxies in China. In particular, the injection of foreign competition is significantly and positively related to Tobin’s Q.
On August 16, 2001, the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) issued the “Guidelines on Establishing an Independent Director System in Listed Companies” to protect small shareholders from expropriation by dominant shareholders. It has been noted that under the highly concentrated ownership structure and insider-dominated boards of listed firms, independent directors cannot work efficiently as monitors in China. Besides satisfying the government and signalling the market, the main contribution of independent directors is to provide advice to top management. The results of this thesis show that large and diversified firms prefer larger boards with more independent directors; moreover, for large and diversified firms, Tobin’s Q increases with board size and board independence.
iv
It is found that Chinese-listed firms exhibit two types of connections provided by independent directors: 43.76% of the independent directors are university scholars or researchers, and 13.88% of them are politically connected. The empirical results show that the relationship between Tobin’s Q and the presence of scholars and politically connected outsiders on a board is significantly negative. But it has been found that scholars, commercial bankers, and politically connected independent directors can add value to large firms, highly leveraged firms, and firms without politically connected CEOs, respectively. Moreover, it is found that the recruitment of independent directors does not limit the related party transactions between the listed companies and their controlling shareholders.

More specifically, do independently owned newspapers tend to produce larger quantities of quality local political reporting than do corporately owned and publicly traded newspapers? In the thesis, I develop an understanding of "quality" news coverage as being coverage that is thematic, or providing interpretive analysis and supplying contextual information. Additionally, I tackle the question of quality news coverage from three angles: whether or not independently owned newspapers provide more quality local political news stories per edition than corporately owned papers; whether or not the percentage of quality local political news stories of total political news stories within an edition is higher for independently owned or corporately owned newspapers; and whether or not the percentage of total political news stories of total news stories is higher for independently owned or corporately owned newspapers.

▼ This paper explores the influence of
ownership structure and firm performance among
selected Ethiopian companies. The data collected for this research is for the period
2008-2010 and the sample consists of 23 companies among which 5 are sole
proprietorship, 8 partnership and 10 share companies. Three specific research
questions are applied to explore the relationships between the
ownership structure
(characterized by owners’ identity and
ownership concentration) and firm
performance.
Ownership concentration is measured by the percentage of shares
owned by the largest five shareholders and HHI while the performance measures
applied are ROA and ROE. While analyzing the linear regression, the
ownership
structure measures were treated as independent variables and the firm performance
measures were treated as dependent variables controlling for firm size, firm age and
debt ratio. The results indicate that there is no statistically significant performance
difference between solely owned, partner controlled and diffused firms. However, the
linear regression analysis shows that young solely owned firms have better
performance compared to old solely owned firms. The other result shows that, there
are positive relationships between institutional and foreign
ownership and firm
performance measures. Whereas, the correlation of government
ownership and firm
performance measure reveals a negative sign.

▼ Ownership is an innate perception of individuals which could manifest in their possessive behaviours. Owners of property are inclined to extend a sense of self to their possessions, demand a right to control them and use them as a tool with which to interact or negotiate with other people. Clarifying ownership of knowledge is difficult in terms of whether the knowledge in question should belong to an individual following privacy rights or it should belong to an organisation following intellectual property rights (IPR). Furthermore, conflicts occur between developed countries which have a stronger culture for the IPR than developing countries do. Studying knowledge ownership helps to understand these differing viewpoints. Previous works found that knowledge ownership influences the intentions to share knowledge. Nevertheless, little research has been done to explore the knowledge ownership concept particularly in a cross-cultural context. This thesis suggests that cross-cultural research is an appropriate approach to conduct a study on knowledge ownership because ownership perceptions vary from cultures to cultures. The work of Ekweozor (2008) is extended in this study to include a comparative study between the UK and Thailand to validate previous findings. Furthermore, knowledge ownership concept, its influencing factors and its relationship with knowledge sharing intentions are examined. Secondary data in the UK context were adopted from Ekweozor (2008)'s work. The Thai version questionnaires translated from her English version were distributed to collect data in the Thai context. The results show that knowledge sharing intentions vary according to types of ownership perception which include individual, organisational and collaborative ownership. Employees who perceive organisational ownership tend to have more intention to share knowledge than the others. In contrast, employees who perceive individual ownership tend to have less intention to share knowledge than the others. In addition, the results reveal that contextual factors including nationality and sector, and conditional factors including types of knowledge, the work environment and personal characteristics, influence what individuals believe about knowledge ownership. Moreover, apart from the mediating role, it is found that knowledge ownership also has a moderating role between the work environment and knowledge sharing intentions. It should be noted that the study was conducted only in the UK and Thailand thus it may not be able to generalise to other countries. Despite this limitation, this study emphasises that knowledge ownership perception is a crucial factor that influences knowledge sharing intentions in organisations. In addition, knowledge ownership could mediate and moderate the relationship between the work environment and knowledge sharing intentions. It is also recommended that contextual factors should be considered when conducting a study on knowledge ownership perceptions because each context differs in many respects such as cultures,…

▼ This study examined the effect of foreign
ownership on
the financial and market performance of firms in the South African
economy. To review this relationship 18 foreign owned firms listed
on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange All Share Index in 2010 were
identified and paired with a locally owned firm of a similar size,
in the same economic sector and with the same
ownership model. The
analysis was done in two phases. Phase One reviewed the financial
and market indicators; Phase Two reviewed the investor return. The
analysis in Phase One showed that foreign
ownership did not result
in any financial benefits for the firm, if Return on Assets and
Return on Equity were used as proxies for financial performance.
There was some evidence that foreign corporate firms create more
value, as indicated by the percentage of EVA increase of 4.6% for
the corporate
ownership model. Differences in the Weighted Average
Cost of Capital (WACC) between the local and foreign corporate
ownership models could indicate that this increase is an accounting
anomaly rather than an absolute benefit. Market growth data showed
the opposite that locally owned institutional firms performed
significantly better than foreign-owned institutional firms. In
Phase Two, it was shown that although there was a material
difference between the different portfolio returns, with the local
portfolios performing better, the difference was not statistically
significant. Overall, it can be concluded that there is very
limited proof that foreign
ownership has any secondary beneficial
effect on the financial performance of South African
firms.

▼ This study examines the effect of ownership structure on dividend policy of 284 firms listed on the OMX Stockholm Exchange in Swedenfrom 2010-2015. Specifically, the purpose of the study is to investigate therelationship betweendifferentinvestor types and dividend policies of firms, measured as dividend yield and dividend payout ratio.Also, the study aims to predict dividend behaviours based on ownership structure which may be useful inthe future since ownership structures of listed Swedish firms havebeen changing over time, with an increased consolidation of ownership and a sharpincrease in institutional ownership. The sample consistsof 1046 observations and was gathered from Thomson Reuters’ Datastream and Eikon databases. This is the first study to examine the relationship between ownership structure and dividend policy in Sweden.The dividend policy is measured using two dependent variables; dividend payout ratio anddividend yield and a multiple regression has been used in orderto test the hypotheses whether any relationships exist between 17 different types of ownership structure used as independent variables, four additional control variables and dividend policy.The findings indicated significant positive relationships between institutional ownership and dividend yield and dividend payout, with one exception being private equity which exhibited a negative relationship with dividend yield. Furthermore, market capitalization, return on assets and price to book value are positively related to dividend payout while debt/equity ratio showed a negative relationship with dividend yield. The results contradict those of the most recent research conducted in Turkey (Al-Najjar & Kilincarsla, 2016) but adds supportin the debateto existing theories of dividends’ relevance to the value of firms developed by Gordon (1963), Lintner (1962) and Walter (1963). Limitations of the study include the geographical delimitation to Sweden which creates some constraints to wider generalization ofthe results to other geographical settings. Furthermore, the datacollected from Thomson Reuters Eikon hadmissing values, showed signs of heteroscedasticity and relevant investor variables such as family ownership were unavailable.

▼ This qualitative study examines the perspectives of community insiders’ regarding community
ownership of local coalitions that address intimate partner violence where these local coalitions were initiated and always controlled by community members. In many professional circles these local coalitions are referred to as coordinated community responses or CCRs. Data collection consisted of group and individual interviews, archival data, and observations of local coalition meetings. Nine participants were interviewed. Six of these participants were members of three separate local coalitions, while the other three were staff members of the state domestic violence coalition’s program that promoted the development of local coalitions. Findings include five stakeholder roles that described who owned the coalition and to what extent, one prerequisite for being considered part of the community, four
ownership actions that described how
ownership was demonstrated, and a staged model that described how individuals develop community
ownership of a local coalition. A theoretical analysis of stakeholder roles and
ownership actions was conducted using Foucault’s work on power relations. This theoretical analysis revealed that stakeholder roles and
ownership actions were intended to be a method for restructuring power relations that have supported or condoned intimate partner violence by individuals and institutions. The stakeholder roles and
ownership actions identified in this study correspond with and expand current conceptualizations of community
ownership. The staged model includes six stages and two processes that influenced movement through these stages. The six stages were rejection/resistance, skepticism, interest, excitement, willingness, and involvement. The two influential processes were trust and sensitivity to the issue central to the coalition’s mission. This staged model is strikingly similar to the Transtheoretical Model of change. The findings regarding this staged model of individual development of community
ownership complements current literature that describes how initiating organizations and coalitions promote community participation and
ownership. Stakeholders can be encouraged to pursue individually tailored recruitment and retention strategies that focus on building trust and sensitivity. The findings from this study do not refine the concept of community
ownership, but expand it by examining the perspectives of community insiders rather than community outsiders.

▼ This work analyses the impact of landownership on the physical development and other factors affecting settlements in south-west Cheshire between 1750 and 2000, seeking to demonstrate the hypothesis that landownership was the overriding influence on settlement growth or decline. To assist in this the work also addresses the related problem of how most accurately to analyse landownership in townships. It therefore presents an original methodology using the Herfmdahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) in an historical context to determine the amount of landowner concentration in a township. The use of HHI as a measure of landownership concentration (indicating the extent of large landowner control) is presented as a more accurate, easy to use, quantifiable method of analysis than the traditional distinction between 'open' and 'closed'. Following a demonstration of HHI's superiority over the traditional terms using examples in south-west Cheshire, HHI is used to analyse the effect on settlement development of landownership trends in the area. HHI is then used to analyse the effect of dominant landowners on the main population trends, transport infrastructure, farming, enclosure and twentieth-century planning and legislation in relation to settlement development in the area. HHI supports the main conclusion that decisions made by large landowners and subsequently planners in south-west Cheshire had a continuous and profound effect on settlement patterns and development from the mid-eighteenth century up to the end of the twentieth century. The intervention and influence of the major landowners and twentieth-century planners hindered settlement growth. Landowners had both a direct influence on settlement development through the buying and selling of land and an indirect influence through their role in determining the transport infrastructure and their bequest of a prevailing pattern of land use, which in turn was preserved via modern planning decisions. Following the decline of major landowners during the early twentieth century, planning laws restricted building in agricultural areas with the aim of preserving agricultural land. Analysis of land tax records in conjunction with HHI shows that although landownership consolidation took place, the number of smaller landowners was maintained and even increased in places and such building as took place was focussed on the increasing number of smaller plots. HHI also demonstrates the discernible trend that in south-west Cheshire the settlements that were the larger, more open settlements of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries were those that increased in size both physically and in terms of population throughout the period while the smaller closed settlements tended to stagnate or decline. Overall the research has demonstrated that settlements flourished in low HHI townships with less control by large landowners, that settlements in high HHI townships were rarely allowed to grow, and that patterns established in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries were perpetuated into the late…

▼ This study focuses upon elements of continuity and change in the developing landscape of the parish of Baschurch in north Shropshire during the period c.1550-2000. In considering a relatively neglected part of the English rural landscape, the writer examines whether landscape change in this area was unique or mirrored experiences in neighbouring parishes and the county as a whole. Shropshire as a county is understudied in terms of its landscape history and so this research project aims to redress this balance, whilst at the same time contributing to the growth of knowledge regarding rural landscape studies generally. The writer examines the themes of population, farm and fieldscape, land use, settlement and buildings, and transport. Analysis draws upon a wide range of documentary sources including a large collection of probate inventories, existing primary and secondary literature and oral testimonies, alongside an examination of structures and features in the present landscape. Analysis reveals the diverse nature of the landscape of the parish. It exhibits varying patterns of landownership, enclosure, field systems, land use and settlement. Research shows that in some instances experiences mirror those exhibited by neighbouring parishes: for example with regard to the enclosure of open arable lands, the rise of dairy farming and the emergence of settlement in areas of former woodland. Overall, this research demonstrates the importance of landownership during the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries in influencing the extent of landscape change. Landowner involvement affected field systems, farm size, land use, settlements and emerging transport networks. Research shows that single landownership of a township has often led to landscape change, whereas change has occurred more slowly, or has been inhibited, in areas exhibiting multiple landownership. This study reveals that during the twentieth century the role of the dominant landowner as a major influence on the landscape has been superseded by local government planning departments. Although subject to landowner involvement, the importance of transport developments in understanding landscape change is also highlighted. In addition to enhancing our knowledge of the rural landscape of north Shropshire, this research project reveals that through its varying patterns of landownership, field systems and settlements, the parish of Baschurch is a microcosm of the west midlands and borderlands landscape as a whole.

▼ International partnerships between developed and developing country agencies are typically presented as a way of working toward specific development goals that will benefit the local, developing country partner. Sending international development volunteers from developed country agencies to assist, or build the capacity of local partners is an increasingly common practice within these international partnerships. Yet research about international partnerships and international volunteer sending is typically focussed on the perspective of developed country agencies or the returned (developed country national) volunteers. There is a silence in the literature where the perspective of the local 'undeveloped' country partners' voice should be heard. By overlooking the voice and perspective of local partners, who host international volunteers, the success and worth of international partnerships cannot be ascertained.
This research addresses the topic; 'Developing Partnerships: How local development organisations can empower themselves through the integration and management of international volunteers, a case study with Aspire, South Africa'. In addressing this topic the research aims to build a better understanding of how host organisations experience international partnerships. Field research was carried out over a three month period and centred on an in depth organisational case study with Aspire; Amathole. Aspire is a rural development agency in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa which has a cosmopolitan and diverse staff team of local and national employees, and international volunteers. This research topic was developed in collaboration with Aspire to build a better understanding of the Aspire experience of international volunteer hosting within its international partnerships. By better understanding local partners' perspectives, wider lessons can be drawn relating to the principles of
ownership, partnership and local empowerment which may influence future development practice.
The research was underpinned by a participatory ethos, and utilised a mixed methodology with a qualitative emphasis including semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and document analyses. The research found that the 'Aspire approach' of fully integrating and managing international volunteers into a single, unified, staff team, and managing international volunteers within Aspires own employee systems is a strengths-based and assertive approach. This study of the 'Aspire approach' identifies tangible day-to-day measures that local partners in development can take to empower themselves and to promote and assert their
ownership of international volunteer hosting partnerships. The 'Aspire approach' ultimately provides a positive model for future development practice and partnership relations.

▼ Recipient country
ownership has been seen by many aid experts, to be an important way to improve the effectiveness of aid delivery. Technical assistance projects consume 25% of worldwide ODA,¹ and have been criticised by many aid experts for being ineffective.
The Solomon Islands Government (SIG) has received a large amount of technical assistance over the last ten years and therefore makes it a useful government to use as a case study to answer the main question of this thesis: Is the transfer of
ownership in technical assistance projects shifting from the donor to the SIG?
The research has found that the SIG has more
ownership of their technical assistance projects at the management level than at the operational level. The main constraints to SIG having more
ownership at the management level were in the areas of technical advisor (TA) recruitment and performance management processes, and some areas of aid funding.
At the operational level of technical assistance projects, the amount of SIG
ownership was significantly less. Many of the restraints in the transfer of
ownership to the SIG counterparts were at the individual TA level, and were largely related to poor working relationships between individual TAs and counterparts caused by shortcomings in TAs’ capacity building and people management skills and TAs’ lack of knowledge of the SIG working style and environment.
More
ownership needs to be transferred at the operational level for the SIG to have ‘real’
ownership of their technical assistance projects.

▼ The aspiration for home ownership has widely
spread across the society in Hong Kong since the Long Term Housing
Strategy in 1987. The government is said to be fully determined to
achieve the target of 70% home ownership rate on the assumption
that home ownership is the aspiration of many in the community.
Through asset appreciation during economic upturn, home owners
enjoy substantial wealth accumulation. Income may be generated when
trading up or down the property in the housing market. Home
ownership is said to foster social and political stability, and
also helps families to provide future financial security.
However, house price has been dropped sharply in the 1997 Asian
Financial Crisis that induces “negative equity” for many home
owners in the society. Their home value has depreciated to the
lowest and they experience substantial wealth depreciation. Many
owners blame for the government’s home ownership policy. Finally,
the government determines to reposition the housing policy and
pledges to provide affordable public rental housing units for those
in genuine need and adopted a free market strategy to let the
housing market goes freely according to the demand and supply
mechanism.
With the booming of economic situation during the
past five years, the aspirations for home ownership has been coming
back again in the society, especially for the young people who are
able to buy a flat under the current high house price and lack of
suitable housing units in the housing market. Under this
socio-economic background, this study aims at studying the home
ownership aspiration of the young people. The study will be start
from library research of relevant literature and papers about home
ownership. After reviewing the development of home ownership policy
in Hong Kong, a brief survey will be taken to conclude if the young
people are aspired to become home owners. There are many
socio-economic factors like age, martial status, income level,
availability of suitable housing, house price, etc. that would
affect the choice of their housing tenure. What factors influence
the young people’s choice of housing tenure most is rather
complicated. The housing choice that young people made varies
throughout their lives depending on different social, economic and
political background. Indeed, government policy is always hinged on
the public’s housing aspirations and housing affordability. The
formulation of home ownership policy should balance the interests
of all stakeholders and ensure a healthy and sustainable
development of housing market.

▼ This study investigates the factors that affect the
home-ownership propensity of households using a modified two-period
equilibrium model. In particular, the study examines the impacts of
some social, political and economic factors that in theory should
affect housing tenure choice but have limited empirical evidence so
far. To test the impacts of these factors, five sets of Hong Kong
Census and By-Census cross sectional data over the period from 1991
to 2011 were used to estimate Binary Logit Models. Further
robustness tests were conducted using sub-sample of the entire
dataset.
There are three key empirical findings that contribute
to the existing body of knowledge in housing tenure choice. First,
it is found that the positive income effect on home-ownership
propensity found in previous studies can be reversed by political
risk. There is strong evidence which suggests that income has
negative impact on home-ownership propensity during periods of high
political uncertainty. The handover of Hong Kong to China in 1997
was used as an event to study how political uncertainty would
influence the effect of household income on housing tenure choice.
Before the handover of Hong Kong in 1997, risk-averse households
with high income in Hong Kong tended to be tenants rather than
owner-occupiers so as to reduce their moving cost and increase
mobility. High income households tended to be more internationally
mobile and could migrate to other countries more easily, while
households with low income were less internationally mobile and
hence their housing tenure choice was less affected by political
risks. The income effect on home-ownership propensity turned
positive after the handover in 1997, when most of the political
uncertainties were removed.
Second, this study shows that
policies that encourage inflow of capital to Hong Kong has an
unintended consequence of depressing the home-ownership rate of
local households. Empirical results in this study suggest that
local households are less likely to be owner-occupiers after the
implementation of Capital Investment Entrant Scheme (CIES) and the
Individual Visit Scheme (IVS) in Hong Kong in 2003. These policies
have increased non-local demand for housing. Even after temporary
suspension of housing as a class of Permissible Investment Assets
(PIA) on 14 October 2010, successful applicants under the scheme,
who are usually very rich, could afford and tend to buy their own
housing units in Hong Kong. Due to the inelastic supply of
developable land in Hong Kong, increased demand from immigrants had
driven up housing prices, making housing less affordable to many
local people. In addition, the IVS implemented at about the same
time have also contributed to the surging demand for housing from
non-local buyers, since the IVS has made visiting Hong Kong for
people from Mainland China much easier than before. Due to the
limited supply of developable land and appreciation of the RMB,
some visitors from Mainland China find it attractive to buy housing
units in Hong Kong for investment or…
