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 impact of capital structure on firm value within the food manufacturing sector of South Africa, addressing a critical gap in the literature on emerging markets. Using a balanced panel dataset of eight listed firms from 2007 to 2018, the research utilizes panel regression models—Common Effect (CEM), Fixed Effect (FEM), and Random Effect (REM)—with the Hausman test indicating REM as the optimal choice. Key findings demonstrate that profitability (RA), debt-to-equity ratio (DE), and firm size (FS) significantly enhance stock prices at a 1% significance level. In contrast, liquidity (CR) negatively affects stock prices (10% significance), while asset growth (AG) shows no significant impact. These results challenge traditional capital structure theories, emphasizing that South African firms strategically use debt for tax advantages despite market volatility, a stark contrast to developed economies where liquidity is typically prioritized. The study highlights the contextual significance of macroeconomic factors, such as energy shortages and regulatory policies (e.g., Black Economic Empowerment), in influencing financing decisions. By bridging the gap between classical theories and emerging market dynamics, this research provides actionable insights for policymakers to encourage sustainable capital structures, for investors to reconsider the role of liquidity in volatile environments, and for the government to develop better policies to support businesses. This research is novel; it is among the first to investigate the link between firm value and capital structure specifically for food manufacturing companies in South Africa over 12 years. It is distinctive because it frames capital structure choices within the unique industrial and economic environment of South Africa, contributing a framework for optimizing firm value in similar emerging markets.

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. The study depends on measuring the independent variable i.e. disclosure quality of the integrated business reports on building up a disclosure index consisting of 45 items in 8 groups equally weighted, whereas; dependent variables which represents the predictive power of accounting information measured by adopting three different methodologies; namely Accounting Conservatism, Share Prices, and Discretionary Accruals. 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 research aims to examine the mediating effect of sustainability disclosure on the relationship between proactive tax planning and firm value among companies listed in the ESG100 Index. The sample comprises 114 firm-year observations from ESG100 companies during the period 2020 to 2022. This study utilizes secondary data. Moreover, a statistical regression method was applied using balanced panel data analysis, integrating both cross-sectional and time-series data to test the research hypotheses. The findings indicate that proactive tax planning has no significant effect on sustainability disclosure. However, sustainability disclosure has a positive and significant effect on firm value, whereas proactive tax planning has a negative and significant effect on firm value. This suggests that proactive tax planning may reduce firm value due to associated costs, such as tax advisory fees. Executives should therefore carefully evaluate the costs and benefits of proactive tax planning and choose strategies that optimize long-term benefits for the company. Understanding the tax costs involved in business operations should be a priority for management. The study's findings also suggest that regulatory authorities should develop tax policies that are contextually appropriate for Thailand and align with current economic conditions. In addition, the study reveals that investors place a high value on sustainability disclosure.

The purpose of this study was to estimate and analyze the effect of dividend policy, profitabil-ity, firm size, leverage, and growth on firm value in financial sector listed on Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2013 to 2017. A quantitative method is used for this research with 21 companies as research object, measured by purposive sampling techniques. The data analysis method used is panel data regression. The results show that firm size, leverage, and growth did not have any significant effect on firm value in financial sector companies in the period 2013-2017. However, dividend policy and profitability proved to have significant positive effects on firm value in financial sector companies for the period 2013-2017. Simultaneous results also show that dividend policy, profitability, firm size, leverage and growth had some effects on firm value.

This study was used to look at financial performance, specifically in 7 years after the company made a merger from 2013-2020. This research instrument uses quantitative analysis data by testing predetermined hypotheses. The study also found that not all variables significantly impact the company's firm value and financial performance when conducting mergers. The main finding is that the more excellent board characteristic of the merger company will result in no improvement in the company's financial performance; this is due to a large number of improper decision-making actions because the rules issued by the board hinders it.
