A profit sharing scheme for a two-firm joint venture

Consider the scenario when two firms are setting up a joint venture. One firm has a set of technologies and knowhow for a new product while the other contributes the necessary capital for setting up and running the venture. The key issue that the two firms face in negotiating the joint venture is to determine a fair value for the technologies and knowhow. This paper presents an approach by which each firm bids a price for the technology with an objective to maximize their own profits from the joint venture. Provided that their bids satisfy a cooperation condition, the two firms settle on a price using a simple valuation formula. We analyze the impact of various factors on the decision process and provide numerical results to illustrate the bidding strategies. We conclude that in order to maximize their profits, it is often more important for both firms to increase the chance of cooperation than to increase their own shares of the joint venture.

A cardinality constrained stochastic goal programming model with satisfaction functions for venture capital investment decision making

Venture capital has proven to be an essential resource for economic growth, especially in some technological clusters. The focus is on the way the venture capitalist makes the investment decision and the portfolio selection. The aim of this paper is to formulate the venture capital investment problem through the Goal Programming model where the Financial Decision-Maker’s preferences will be explicitly incorporated through the concept of satisfaction functions. The proposed model will be illustrated by using data from an Italian venture capital fund.     

风险投资联合投资对上市公司盈余管理的影响:基于我国创业板的实证研究

风险投资在中国的经济发展中处于越来越重要的位置,创业板355家上市公司中,近60%的公司有风险投资背景,近40%的公司有联合风投背景.本文首先以2009-2012年创业板355家上市公司为研究对象,实证研究了风险投资个数与盈余管理之间的关系,然后,以132家联合风投背景公司为研究对象,实证研究联合风投内部特征对IPO公司盈余管理的影响,试图探讨能够发挥最佳监督作用的联合投资方式.实证结果显示有风投背景公司的盈余管理程度高于无风投背景的公司,且联合风投个数越多,上市公司盈余管理程度越高.尽管如此,可以通过选择适当的联合投资方式降低联合投资的负面效应,比如:提高联合风投多样化程度、提高主导风投持股比例、选择高声誉主导风投等等.     

公司创业投资的薪酬激励问题分析

公司创业投资的财务收益和战略收益取决于投资企业和公司创投家的投入。本文运用博弈模型分析了公司创业投资的薪酬激励问题,结果表明:薪酬激励对公司创投家的努力程度具有正面影响,而对投资企业的支持力度具有负面影响。投资企业和公司创投家的能力与薪酬激励强度分别呈反向和正向关系,与对方的努力(支持)呈反向关系。项目战略利益与薪酬激励的关系则取决于投资企业和公司创投家能力的相对强弱。在此基础上,本文尝试为研究和实践提出相关建议。

公平偏好下考虑互补效应的项目投资收益分配研究

决策者的公平偏好对项目投资合作的形成和推进有重要影响。本文从创业企业和风险投资家的双重道德风险出发,选取Nash谈判解为公平偏好参照点,构建创业企业具有公平偏好的项目投资委托代理模型,研究委托方和代理方的能力存在互补效应的情形下,公平偏好对项目收益分配及双方努力水平的影响。结果表明:项目收益的最优分配比例和双方的最高努力水平均与创业企业的公平偏好程度相关。在互补效应存在时,双方的努力水平不会随收益分配比例的变化呈现单调变化趋势。如果双方的能力互补程度较小,具有公平偏好的创业企业会以Nash谈判解为自己的收益下限,风险投资家需要向其让渡更多的项目收益才能实现有效激励;如果双方的能力互补程度较大,创业企业会将Nash谈判解作为自己的收益上限,风险投资家即使不给予其大于Nash谈判解的收益也可实现有效激励。     

基于模糊模拟的风险投资项目决策

由于风险投资的高不确定性和风险性,使得人们难以准确预测风险投资项目的收益和状态概率,而只能得到其大致的区间范围。鉴于这种情况,本文将投资项目收益和状态概率描述为模糊变量,利用模糊变量的均值和方差建立了模糊风险投资决策模型,并给出利用模糊模拟方法计算的实例。     

The construction of a comprehensive model for production strategy evaluation

To acquire reasonable profits and to be competitive in the globalize market, more and more firms today have exploited various kinds of production strategies, such as outsourcing, joint venture, or some kind of strategic alliance. Since every production strategy has its benefits and costs and may bring a firm different opportunities and risks, which kind of production strategy is the most suitable for a firm to carry out is a difficult and complicated decision with a high degree of uncertainty. Therefore, this research proposes a comprehensive production strategy evaluation model that can facilitate such a decision making for a firm. The factors that should be considered for devising a production strategy are listed for the benefits, opportunities, costs and risks (BOCR) merits first, and fuzzy Delphi method is applied next to select the most important factors under each merit. A network with BOCR merits is constructed to incorporate the selected factors, and fuzzy analytic network process is then applied to consider the interdependence and feedback inside the network. The proposed model can effectively aid decision making on which kind of production strategy should be adopted by a firm. A case of a printed circuit board manufacturer is presented for the illustration of the proposed model.

The influence of capital market laws and initial public offering (IPO) process on venture capital

This paper is concerned with the influence of capital market laws and initial public offering (IPO) process on venture capital. It discusses the impact of US federal state laws and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations to the venture capital markets, arguing if the rules and regulatories are burdensome to entrepreneurs and new-growth businesses. The impact of Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the future Investment Act on venture capital funds and entrepreneurial companies going public are also discussed. The paper proposes the model of venture capital financing describing the process from fund raising to investment exits, the linkages of the venture capital market to the financial/capital markets and the related capital market laws. The policy implications on SEC regulations essential to the development of venture capital industry are suggested.

Input/output selection in DEA under expert information,with application to financial markets

Data envelopment analysis (DEA), as generally used, assumes precise knowledge regarding which variables are inputs and outputs; however, in many applications, there exists only partial knowledge. This paper presents a new methodology for selecting input/output variables endogenously to the DEA model in the presence of partial (or expert’s) knowledge by employing a reward variable observed exogenous to the operation of the DMUs. The reward is an allocation of a limited resource by an external agency, e.g. capital allocation by a market, based on the perceived internal managerial efficiencies. We present an iterative two-stage optimization model which addresses the benefit of possibly violating the expert information to determine an optimal internal performance evaluation of the DMUs for maximizing its correlation with the reward metric. Theoretical properties of the model are analyzed and statistical significance tests are developed for the marginal value of expert violation. The methodology is applied in Fundamental Analysis of publicly-traded firms, using quarterly financial data, to determine an optimized DEA-based fundamental strength indicator. More than 800 firms covering all major sectors of the US stock market are used in the empirical evaluation of the model. The firms so-screened by the model are used within out-of-sample mean-variance long-portfolio allocation to demonstrate the superiority of the methodology as an investment decision tool.     

管理者过度自信对高技术企业技术外部获取方式选择的影响研究

企业管理者的业绩预测偏差是衡量管理者是否过度自信的一个重要体现,值得关注和研究。本研究采用我国2004~2013年高技术上市公司的相关数据,应用Ordered-probit模型实证分析了管理者过度自信对高技术上市公司技术外部获取方式选择的影响。研究结果表明:我国高技术上市公司以非股权技术联盟作为首要的技术外部获取方式,公司风险投资是最后的选择;同时,研究发现:在对技术外部获取方式进行选择时,管理者过度自信的高技术上市公司选择并购优先于合资和少数持股联盟,而管理者非过度自信的高技术上市公司选择少数持股联盟优先于并购和合资。该研究方法简单、高效、合理,是企业高管提升公司管理水平和科学获取技术外部的一种新的方法选择。
