Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The last decade, in financial and real estate markets, was characterized by quantitative easing, low interest rates, and waves of regulation. For that reason, stock markets hit their peaks and real estate prices recovered very quickly after the last financial crises. However, this also comes at a cost. In some Central European countries, prices for houses and apartments rose twice as much as rental rates, leading to the so-called asset melt down.

The current Special Issue of the journal covers risk aspects in the context of this market evolution. Papers analyzing the effects of this evolution or potential consequences of changes in central banks’ policies for financial and real estate markets are highly welcome.

Potential papers for this Special Issue may also focus on regulatory risk and how market participants are influenced while doing investment decisions by unclear or changing legal environment.

The topic of bank default risk in connection with government bailouts has recently attracted a great deal of attention. In this paper, the question of how a bank’s default risk is affected by a distress acquisition is investigated. Specifically, the government provides a bailout program of distressed loan purchases for a strong bank to acquire a bank in distress. The acquirer bank may likely refuse the acquisition with a bailout when the amount of distressed loan purchases is large or the knock-out value of the acquired bank is high. When the acquirer bank realizes acquisition gains, the default risk in the consolidated bank’s equity return is negatively related to loan purchases, but positively to the knock-out value of the acquired bank. The government bailout, as such, in large part contributes to banking stability. Full article

Despite real changes in the work place and the negative consequences of prevailing hierarchical structures with rigid management systems, little attention has yet been paid to shifting management modes to accommodate the dynamics of the external environment, particularly when a firm’s operating environment demands a high degree of flexibility. Building on the resource-based view as a basis for competitive advantage, we posit that differences in the stability of an organization’s environment and the degree of managerial control explain variations in the management mode used in firms. Unlike other studies which mainly focus on either the dynamics of the external environment or management control, we have developed a theoretical model combining both streams of research, in a context frame to describe under what conditions firms engage in rules-based, change-based, engagement-based and capability-based management modes. To test our theoretical framework, we conducted a survey with 54 firms in various industries and nations on how their organizations cope with a dynamic environment and what management style they used in response. Our study reveals that the appropriate mode can be determined by analyzing purpose, motivation, knowledge and information, as well as the degree of complexity, volatility and uncertainty the firm is exposed to. With our framework, we attempt to advance the understanding of when organizations should adapt their management style to the changing business environment. Full article
