    The impact of corporate governance on firm perfomance: a case of CAC 40 Firms

    Get PDF
    There are several elements in business management that help increase financial efficiency, market positioning and overall firm performance which leads to generate confidence among investors, customers, suppliers and other stakeholders. One of these elements is corporate governance which covers the relationships between directors, the board, its shareholders and all those interested in the firm’s performance and therefore provides the necessary structure to define and execute the strategic objectives of the company as well as the control exercised over said execution. This study presents an assessment model based on supervisory board, investor relations, management team, and disclosure of information and analyses the relationship between different board systems, corporate governance and its characteristics with firm’s performance through the financial results of CAC 40 Firms

    Altres ajuts: This work has been supported by the research group "Linguistic variation in Catalan (VaLingCat)", University of València (Ref: GIUV2017-397) and a Grant for the Requalification of the Spanish University System (Ministry of Universities of the Government of Spain), funded by the European Union, NextGeneration EU (Ref: UV-EXPSOLP2U-1801406).Although the distribution of pronominal clitics in Old Catalan has been described in general terms (Fischer 2002; Batllori et al. 2005), there are no quantitative studies detailing the frequency of preverbal or postverbal clitics nor their diachronic evolution. The clitics appearing with verbs in the future and conditional tense (FC) are worth a separate mention, since these forms originate from periphrastic structures that involve an infinitive and the auxiliary verb habere, and which could appear as an analytic (dir-li he) or a synthetic form (li diré or diré-li). This paper describes the general clitic positioning and the one encountered with FC in order to verify the claim that they display parallel distributions, using a text from the 13th century, to wit Llibre dels Fets. This article analyses the pragmatic-syntactic environments in which the clitic are found, as well as the degree of grammaticalization and univerbation of the FC. Following previous work (e.g., Bouzouita & Sentí 2022), it is argued that the FC in Catalan appear to exhibit a more advanced degree of grammaticalization than the western languages of the Iberian Peninsula.Tot i que la distribució dels clítics pronominals en català antic ha estat descrita en línies generals (Fischer 2002; Batllori et al. 2005), encara no hi ha estudis empírics que analitzen la freqüència de la posició dels clítics en anteposició o posposició ni com ha evolucionat. Els clítics amb verbs en futur i condicional (FC) mereixen una anàlisi específica perquè provenen d'estructures perifràstiques amb un infinitiu i el verb auxiliar habere, les quals han donat lloc a la forma analítica (dir-li he) i a la sintètica (li diré o diré-li). Aquest estudi descriu la posició dels clítics en general i en el cas del FC en particular per comprovar que efectivament tenen una distribució equivalent, a partir d'un text del segle XIII, el Llibre dels Fets. L'article analitza els contextos pragmaticosintàctics en què apareixen els clítics, així com també el grau de gramaticalització i d'univerbació del FC. Seguint estudis previs (e.g., Bouzouita & Sentí 2022), es defensa que el FC en català sembla tenir un grau de gramaticalització més avançat que en les llengües més occidentals de la península Ibèrica
