This paper aims to investigate the relationship between managerial opportunistic behavior and the value of manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, using two different indicators of company value. The first indicator looks at the value of the company from a less than ideal size and other indicators view the value of the company from the ideal size. By using 320 observations, the results of this study found evidence that managerial opportunistic behavior that is proxied by free cash flow plays a role in influencing the overvalued equity proxied by market books. Likewise, free cash flow plays an important role on influencing Tobin q. This study also establishes an indirect relationship of free cash flow to overvalued equity and Tobin q which is mediated by dividend policy. Empirical results show that dividend policy mediates the effect of free cash flow on overvalued equity and also Tobin q partially.

This article investigates the causal connection between social capital (SC), knowledge transfer, innovation and firm performance. Based on existing literature on social capital, we develop a research model showing that three dimensions of social capital, including network ties, trust and shared visions, have positive relationships with company performance via two mediators, namely knowledge transfer and innovation. Using a sample of 153 Vietnamese firms, including one to two respondents from each firm, our study applied structural equation modeling to confirm the hypotheses. The results show that all three dimensions of social capital were positively related to firm performance with knowledge transfer and innovation acting as mediators. Knowledge transfer and the company's innovation were found to have a strong as-sociation with each other. Academically, this paper offers an opportunity to investigate social capital in terms of other factors in one specific industry. Practically, our findings motivate firms to focus on improving knowledge transfer on both quantity and quality prospects to boost firm performance.
