Methyl 2-(1,1,3-trioxo-2,3-dihydro-1,2-benzothia­zol-2-yl)acetate: a monoclinic polymorph

In the title compound, C10H9NO5S, the fused ring system and the planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0037 Å) methoxy­carbonyl­methyl side chain form a dihedral angle of 84.67 (10)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. A triclinic polymorph of the title compound is already known [Siddiqui et al. (2008 ▶). Acta Cryst. E64, o859]

N-(4-Chloro-2-nitro­phen­yl)-N-(methyl­sulfon­yl)acetamide

The title compound, C9H9ClN2O5S, is of inter­est as a precursor to biologically active substituted quinolines and related compounds. The structure displays inter­molecular C—H⋯O inter­actions. Each mol­ecule is linked to two adjacent neighbours via weak centrosymmetric dimer-forming inter­actions, forming chains in the [101] direction

N-(4-Hydroxy­phen­yl)benzene­sulfon­amide

The title compound, C12H11NO3S, synthesized by the reaction of benzene sulfonyl chloride with para-amino­phenol, is of inter­est as a precursor to biologically active sulfur-containing heterocyclic compounds. The structure is stabilized by N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds

Environmental Risk, Corporate Strategy, Financing Strategy and Firm Profitability: Evidence from South East Asian Countries

The aim of the paper is to analyze the simultaneous influence of environmental risk, corporate strategy and financing strategy on firm profitability. Data for the period of 2013-2019 was collected from COMPUSTAT and respective Stock exchanges. The sample consists of a total of 4837 publicly traded firms from South East Asian Countries. Using fixed effects model, the findings of the study revealed that independent constructs explain significant variation in firm profitability. These findings are helpful for managers in formulating better strategies particularly those that are concerned with addressing the volatility and uncertainty dimension of the environment as well as resource development for supporting their decisions related to strategy formulation

A HUMAN RESOURCE PERSPECTIVE ON POLICIES TO SUPPORT CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Within the last decade, the phenomenon of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has gained significance in the corporate world from a marketing context, yet very little empirical work exists to highlight its importance from a human resource context. CSR is often embedded in the sustainability agenda of the organization, in which different factors impact the CSR based human resource (HR) policies of an organization. The data were collected through interviews. In this interview, Telenor’s mission and policies for employees, society, environment and customers were analyzed. Three themes emerged in the interview that affected the CSR based HR policies: management style, economic impact of CSR on the organization and the overall CSR strategic approach of the firm. The paper concludes that CSR is strongly emphasized in Telenor Pakistan’s approach and reflected in its codes of conduct, policies as well as management style

FINANCIAL LEVERAGE, WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AND FIRM PROFITABILITY: EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE FROM PAKISTAN STOCK EXCHANGE

This study aims to investigate the working capital management practices and its effects on firms’ profitability with moderating role of leverage. The Generalized Method of Moments estimation technique under fixed effect specification is used to analyze the cross-industries sample of 210 nonfinancial firms listed on Pakistan Stock Exchange. The result showed that receivable collection period and payable payment period have positive significant impact on profitability of firms, on the other hand cash cycle has significant negative impact on profitability of firms, and where as the impact of payable payment period is found insignificant on profitability. In case of moderation of leverage with respect to relationship of working capital with profitability the results showed that leverage weakens this relationship significantly. The study suggests that managers in nonfinancial sector should take into consideration the moderating role of leverage with respect to working capital management

2-(Prop-2-en­yl)-1,2-benzisothia­zol-3(2H)-one 1,1-dioxide

In the title compound, C10H9NO3S, the benzisothia­zole group is almost planar (with a maximum deviation of 1.61 Å). The crystal structure is stabilized by weak inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a chain of mol­ecules along b

UNFOLDING ORGANIZATIONAL RISK AND COST ASSOCIATION FROM STAKEHOLDERS PERSPECTIVE: EVIDENCE FROM ASIAN EMERGING MARKETS

In this study we extend the conventional risk-return debate to a more intriguing and practically significant conundrum of risk-cost association. The analysis is performed on large sample of 4609 listed companies operating in nine Asian emerging markets, using 2SLS estimation. We established that risk act as a specter and have consequences for long term contractual relationship between key stakeholders and organization. Further, organizational costs are directly affected by organizational risks hence it also provides an immediate opportunity to management to take corrective measures. As whole, the empirical evidence provides an essential perspective and insight to understand the nature of organizational risk, slack, stakeholders and it implication for organizational costs in Asian emerging markets.Â

Methyl 2-allyl-4-hydr­oxy-2H-1,2-benzothia­zine-3-carboxyl­ate 1,1-dioxide

In the title compound, C13H13NO5S, the thia­zine ring adopts a distorted half-chair conformation. Intra­molecular O—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds give rise to two six-membered hydrogen bonded rings. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked through weak inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, resulting in a zigzag chain lying along the c axis
