The balancing act between what value want and what the company can added value must be optimized in order to maximize company’s long-term profits. The research is conducted for finding out how Value Chain Analysis of Benson & Hedges of BATB is maintained, what things are considered and the tools used for this purpose. As BATB is an International Company and it has passed its 100 years of glorious journey, it has already had a structured Value Chain in action. My task is to Fining out the value and presents it in this report in a structured way The nature of this study was explorative research, and information was gathered through extensive one-to-one interviews with respondents. The researcher covered the geographical base of Dhaka city, and samples were selected on simple random sampling method. When analysis value chain strategy B&H then need to know inbound logistics, operation, outbound logistics, sales& marketing . And also analysis supportive activities like human resource management, technology, farm infrastructure, Procurement. Least but not the last, based on the analysis, recommendations are suggested for the BATB. These recommendations will definitely improve the overall company image if implemented efficiently. Finally, this research will encourage further study and useful guidelines for these types of researches. Hassan., A.B. M Sabbir; Moinuddin, Mr. Samir internal auditing is an independent, objective assurance and consulting activity designed to add value and improve an organization's operations. it helps an organization to accomplish it's objectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management, control, and governance processes. Nowadays, the adoption of risk based internal auditing becomes a great agreement in this field. so for that in this paper, the researcher try to find out they have any relationship between associated factor, and risk based internal auditing and enterprise risk management in context of internal auditing practice in Bangladesh. to gain this goal, the researcher runs a co-relation research where the main object was to analyze company specific factors associated with adoption of risk-based auditing. it seeks to explore the role internal auditing in enterprise risk management (ERM). the researcher used the probability sampling design for this research work and used the simple random sampling technique to collect the data under this probability method. At the same time to gather data, the researcher was used paper based structured questionnaire. After analyze the all data, the researcher find out that there has a positive relation between organizations, type of industry, type of sector, internationalization, and the risk-based internal auditing, and enterprise risk management.

Theoretically, the study is based on Burawoy's (1979) labour process theory of ‘Manufacturing Consent' and John Law’s Actor-Network Theory (1992). This study has addressed the urge for more research on the use of accounting information in managerial control (Hall, 2010). The effort has been given to explore the role of accounting information and gaming at shop floor management. This study includes a critical review of accounting literature, where data has been collected through participant observation, interviews and relevant documentary evidence. Through a critical approach, evidence has been analysed and discussed. The evidence reveals several factors that affect managerial decision-making at shop floor operation. However, the role of accounting information remains the dominant factor. Close monitoring of Accounting Information Systems and Centralized control affects managers' decision- making process and creates huge stress on employees. Keen observation shows that gaming plays a critical role in the control measure of their labour control process. The study also reveals, because of aggressive control, internal labour market mechanism does not work properly and fails to produce consent employees as Burawoy argues. It has been found that internal state is near absent, while technology and digital information systems add new dimensions in labour control process.

Evidence from a unique regulatory setting Sobhan, Abdus; Bose, Sudipta; Miah, Muhammad Shahin; Razzaque, Rushdi Md Rezaur Research Questions/Issues: Using insights from agency and signaling theories, we examine the effect on companies' market-based performance of a unique monitoring mechanism of compliance with a corporate governance (CG) code, that is, independent certification of compliance with a CG code and type of certification provider. Furthermore, we examine the impact of two boundary conditions, family company status and company-level information asymmetry, influencing the effect of independent CG compliance certification and type of certification provider on the market based performance of companies. Research Findings/Insights: Based on 1110 Bangladeshi company-year observations from 2006 to 2017, we firstly find that independent CG compliance certification is positively associated with companies' market-based performance. Secondly, we show that CG compliance certification by a chartered secretarial firm is related to higher market-based performance. Thirdly, we document that family companies attenuate both these associations. Finally, we find that, while company-level information asymmetry reinforces the association between CG compliance certification and market based performance, it weakens the relationship between certification by a chartered secretarial firm and companies' market-based performance. Theoretical/Academic Implications: Our findings are consistent with the agency and signaling theory that independent certification of CG compliance and this certification by a chartered secretarial firm reduce information asymmetry between managers and external investors by signaling enhanced credibility of reported CG compliance information. However, the roles of CG compliance certification and certification by a chartered secretarial firm to reduce agency conflict and provide credible signals are conditional on two boundary conditions: family company status and company-level information asymmetry. Practitioner/Policy Implications: This study's findings highlight the economic implications of a unique mechanism for monitoring compliance with an adopted CG code. The findings have significant implications for policy makers and regulators in emerging economies. https://doi.org/10.1111/corg.12563 Sun, 01 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT https://ar.iub.edu.bd/handle/11348/831 2023-01-01T00:00:00Z https://ar.iub.edu.bd/handle/11348/825 Corporate governance reform and family firms: Evidence from an emerging economy Razzaque, Rushdi MR; Ali, Muhammad Jahangir; Mather, Paul We investigate the comparative effectiveness of board independence in constraining Real Earnings Management (REMs) in family and non-family firms in the context of corporate governance reform in Bangladesh. In contrast to the pre-reform period, we find that independent directors are more effective in restricting REMs in family firms compared to non-family firms, post reform. Further, we find that the relationship between family ownership and REMs varies significantly between strong and weak corporate governance firms during the post-reform period. This nuanced impact of regulation extends the literature and may be generalised to similar domains with weaker institutions and investor protection. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pacfin.2019.101260 Wed, 01 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT https://ar.iub.edu.bd/handle/11348/825 2020-01-01T00:00:00Z
