The development of Resources Based-View in 2021 states that the firm's value creation is influenced by unique resources. This research aims to explore the use of intangible resources in three main industrial sectors in Indonesia to create firm value. The research method begins with the mapping of resources that meet valuable, rare, imperfect imitability, and non-substitution, forming a research model. These internal resources are measured using the company's financial ratio. The research data is in the form of secondary data for the period 2012-2022 which is analyzed using the panel data regression method and robustness test. The results found that each industry has different resources to increase the firm value. Internal resources; Intangible assets, firm innovation and managerial ability can create firm value in the basic materials industry. Meanwhile, in the Consumer Noncyclicals industry, only managerial ability affects the firm's value. Meanwhile, intellectual capital is not able to create firm value in Indonesia. The research implies that physical resources are still the main factor in creating a competitive advantage to achieve sustainable corporate value in Indonesia. The theoretical contribution is that there are still other applications of the RBV concept to create firm value.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the effects of firm value on hedging for exchange rates, interest rates and commodity price risks using derivative instruments as well as examining different types of derivative instruments, including forward contract, future contract, option contract, and swap contract, used as hedging instruments to assess their various effects on firm value. The proxy used for the firm value variable is Tobin’s Q, and the ordinary least squares regression is employed for the research method. The study used 348 records from non-financial companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange over the period 2015–2018. There are different results. First of all, the use of hedging for exchange rate risk with derivative instruments has a positive and significant effect on firm value. Secondly, the use of hedging for interest rate risk with derivative instruments has a negative but not significant effect on firm value. In addition, the use of hedging for commodity price risk with derivative instruments has a positive but not significant effect on firm value. Moreover, the effects from hedging using derivative contracts in general on firm value does not give results that are different from the use of hedging risk for exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices with derivative instruments.

This study examines the effect of tax disputes on firm value with industry profiles as a moderator. The population of this study is non-financial companies that are listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange and disclosed tax disputes during the 2014-2019 period. The purposive sampling technique was applied, and 292 observations were obtained. A mixed-method approach is used in this study. First, a panel data regression analysis was performed using a tool called EViews 12. Second, to deepen the empirical nature of this research, and with the results of the panel data regression analysis having already been obtained, tax consultants who have legal power of attorney at the tax court were invited to a focus group discussion (FGD) that was held in Bali. The results of this study find that tax disputes have a negative effect on firm value. This study also demonstrates that an industry having a high profile weakens the negative effect of tax disputes on firm value. The research findings provide an understanding of tax disputes, firm values, and industry profiles within the framework of signaling theory and legitimacy theory. The limitation of this research is that it does not discuss typical tax dispute cases (whether material disputes or judicial disputes) due to data limitations.

The aim of this study is to test the influence of the board's gender diversity on firm value through sustainability report disclosure. The research also examines the effect of industry profile in moderating the board's gender diversity relationship with sustainability report disclosure and the moderation of sustainable investment practices in the relationship between sustainability report disclosure and firm value. The testing uses panel data regression to analyze 306 sample data from non-financial companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange that comply with the sample selection criteria. The research findings prove that board gender diversity is able to increase firm value because investors view the presence of female board members as reflecting a good corporate governance mechanism. This research also proves that the presence of women board members reduces the level of sustainability report disclosure. The effect of board gender diversity on sustainability report disclosure is reduced in high-profile companies. High-profile companies experience strong pressure to make disclosures of activities in which environmental and social impacts are transparent. Conversely, this study cannot demonstrate a mediating role of sustainability report disclosure on the effect of board gender diversity on increasing firm value. The interaction effect of sustainable investment practices is also not significant in this study. The research findings provide an understanding of board gender diversity, sustainability report disclosure, and firm value within the multi-theoretical framework of agency theory, stakeholder theory, and social role theory.

This paper measures the effect of disclosure quality of integrated business reports on the predictive power of accounting information and firms’ value in the Egyptian Stock Market. In order to achieve the research objectives, the research relies on content analysis approach in examining the annual reports of the companies listed in the Egyptian Stock Exchange from 2015 to 2018.

Concerning to firm value, the study uses Tobin’s Q model to measure the relationship between the quality disclosure of the integrated business reports and the firm value. The results indicate that the quality disclosure of integrated business report leads to increase accounting conservatism and share prices, whereas the statistics analysis reports a negative effect towards discretionary accruals indicating that the quality disclosure of integrated business report leads to decrease in discretionary accruals.

The present study aims to determine the effect of a company's life-cycle stage, profitability, institutional ownership, and liquidity on dividend policy as well as the effect of dividend policy on firm value. Data were run through logistic regression analysis and ANNOVA test with total sample data of 31 companies in the consumer goods industry sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange over the period 2014-2018. With control variables consisting of asset growth, corporate debt, and investment cash flow, it is determined that the growth and maturity life-cycle stages as well as return on assets of a company had positive and significant effects on dividend policy. Companies at growth and maturity stages provided dividends since they attempted to show to shareholders that the company was under good financial and profitable conditions. Corporate debt also had a significant effect on dividend policy where the relationship was inversely proportional, meaning that companies with large debt ratios tend not to provide dividends. Other results show that there was a significant difference between dividend policy and firm value. Companies that provide dividends tend to be overvalued since it leads to increase in the confidence of shareholders to invest.
