Economic effects of growth strategies on the performance of quoted manufacturing firms in Nigeria

We used a sample of 144 firm-years of quoted manufacturing Nigerian firms to examine the effect of growth strategies on firms' performance for the period between 2014 and 2017. We found that internal growth strategies - such as aggressive profit retention - and new product development improved manufacturing firms' economic performance. Internal growth strategies yielded positive economic effects on returns on assets and equity. Growth through market deepening yielded high market shares that created economic values for investors. However, external growth strategies negatively affected firms' returns on assets, though conglomeration strategies enhanced equity investors' stakes. The positive effect associated with internal growth strategies depends on good management efficiency in terms of asset utilisation and good liquidity management. The effect suggests that growth strategies should be pursued when firms experience an increasing return to scale. Otherwise, inefficiency in assets utilisation cancels out any potential positive economic effects of a growth strategy.

Effect of Growth Strategies on the Performance of Food Manufacturing Firms in Nairobi County, Kenya.

To increase performance, manufacturing firms in Kenya formulate and implement growth strategies. However, past studies in Kenya have not examined the effect of growth strategies on the performance of food manufacturing firms. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of growth strategies on the performance of food manufacturing firms in Nairobi County, Kenya. A proportionate sample of 71 firms representing seven sub-sectors of food manufacturing firms in Nairobi County was used. Primary data was collected from 64 firms using structured questionnaire administered to the Managers of the firms. The results revealed positive effect of growth strategies on organizational performance. The paper concluded that firms implementing growth strategies achieve higher organizational performance.

The impact of advertising, goodwill, and other intangibles in the retail foodservice industry: Do intangible investments bite into investor returns?

ABSTRACTUtilizing a sample of U.S. publicly traded foodservice retailers, this study examines the impact of advertising, goodwill, and intangible assets on investor holding period returns. The results show that neither advertising nor intangible assets have a positive and significant impact on holding period returns. Goodwill, however, does have a positive and significant impact on holding period returns. Foodservice retailers may therefore want to question the effectiveness of growth strategies based on a firm’s own investments in either advertising or intangible assets. Instead, building a foodservice retailing business through mergers and acquisitions may prove a better use of company resources.

Growth strategy and TFP growth: comparing China and four Asian tigers

This paper compares the total factor productivity (TFP) growth performance of the Chinese mainland and the Four Asian Tigers during their high-growth period and examines the effect of growth strategies pursued by these economies on TFP growth using a state-space model. Our research results show that TFP growth is quite limited in these economies, which is mainly attributed to their growth strategy. No significant productivity gains arise from the rapid growth of investments, trade openness, and an undervalued currency in these economies. The TFP growth is even found negatively related to trade openness for South Korea, the exchange rate undervaluation for Chinese Taiwan and Singapore, and the falling relative price of capital for the Chinese mainland, Singapore and South Korea. Government interventions encourage long-term TFP growth for the Chinese mainland and Taiwan, but hinder it in other economies. Higher inflation reduces TFP growth in Chinese Taiwan and Singapore.
