the effect of upward feedback on Managerial Behavior
Social Science Research Network, 2008Co-Authors: Peter A Heslin, Gary P LathamAbstract:Upward feedback from subordinates was provided to Australian managers in an international professional services firm. The job performance of the managers in this quasi-experimental study was observed by subordinates to be significantly higher six months later, compared to both initial performance and subordinate ratings of a comparison group. Self-efficacy moderated this finding, suggesting that it plays a key role in determining Behavioral reactions to upward feedback. The managers' learning goal orientation correlated significantly with their subsequent performance.

Managerial Behavior and the link between stock mispricing and corporate investments evidence from market to book ratio decomposition
The Financial Review, 2014Co-Authors: Mohammed Alzahrani, Ramesh P RaoAbstract:We examine the impact of mispricing on corporate investments and its components: capital expenditures, research and development, acquisitions, and asset sales. By decomposing the market-to-book ratio into mispricing and growth components, we show that corporate investments are linked to mispricing through market-timing and catering, after controlling for growth and financial slack. This investment-mispricing link is more pronounced in financially constrained firms and in firms with short-horizon shareholders. Overall, our study indicates that the sensitivity of investments to mispricing is a function of the nature of mispricing, the type of investment, and the firm's characteristics.

Managerial Behavior and the link between stock mispricing and corporate investments evidence from market to book ratio decomposition
Social Science Research Network, 2013Co-Authors: Mohammed Alzahrani, Ramesh P RaoAbstract:We examine the impact of mispricing on capital expenditures, R&D, acquisitions, and asset sales. By decomposing the market-to-book ratio into mispricing and growth components, we show that corporate investments are linked to mispricing through market-timing and catering, after controlling for growth and financial slack. This investment-mispricing link is more pronounced in financially constrained firms and in firms with short-horizon shareholders.

discussion of why do eps forecast error and dispersion not vary with scale implications for analyst and Managerial Behavior
Journal of Accounting Research, 2011Co-Authors: Ryan T BallAbstract:Cheong and Thomas (2011) provide a new perspective on the Behavior of the distribution of EPS forecast error magnitudes as a function of share price. Specifically, they explore several economic-based explanations, related to analyst and manager Behavior, in order to understand why measures of EPS forecast error variation do not appear to vary with share price. In this discussion, I explore two additional issues, unrelated to the Behavior of managers and analysts, which may significantly contribute to the observed lack of scale variation in EPS forecast error magnitudes in the United States: (1) EPS data in I/B/E/S are reported to the nearest penny, which may render detection of scale variation extremely difficult in a sample of U.S. firms, and (2) there are differences between the measurement of EPS forecast error variation in Cheong and Thomas relative to prior literature. I provided evidence that both issues confound the interpretation of the lack of scale variation observed in U.S. firms and have strong implications for future research exploring EPS forecast error magnitudes.

why do eps forecast error and dispersion not vary with scale implications for analyst and Managerial Behavior
Journal of Accounting Research, 2011Co-Authors: Foong Soon Cheong, Jacob K ThomasAbstract:We document a counter-intuitive finding regarding analyst forecasts of quarterly earnings per share (EPS): magnitudes of deviations from benchmarks—individual forecasts versus consensus (dispersion) and consensus versus actual (forecast error)—do not vary with scale. Seasonally differenced EPS, or time-series forecast error, also exhibits substantial lack of variation with scale, but only for firms followed by analysts. This lack of variation with scale is not observed for analyst and time-series forecasts for (a) EPS for some countries, (b) sales and cash flows for all countries, and (c) stock splits. We propose and investigate different explanations for these puzzling regularities that have important implications for practice and research. We believe the cause is Managerial smoothing of EPS designed to reduce across-firm variation in EPS volatility.
