“…In this line, GDP has a negative effect on managers' view (ROA) and a positive influence on shareholders' perspective (ROE), following other studies (Issah and Antwi, 2017;Ndlovu and Alagidede, 2018). Thus, for managers, an increase in the GDP can lead to more aggressive competitiveness (for example, reduced margins), which decreases results and, consequently, performance (Neves et al, 2022). However, shareholders have a broader vision, and for them, GDP will positively influence performance because economic growth will bring about company growth through more investment and consumption (Garcia and Guerreiro, 2016).…”

“…However, in the literature, some studies have discovered a negative impact between GDP and corporate performance (Issah and Antwi, 2017;Neves et al, 2022;Terjesen et al, 2016); indeed, GDP can lead to more aggressive competitiveness (for example, reduced margins) and decreasing performance (Neves et al, 2022). Moreover, the low-average rate of GDP growth of the countries' economies in study period could explain this negative relationship (Garcia and Guerreiro, 2016).…”

“…According to the literature (e.g., Garcia and Guerreiro, 2016;Pasiouras and Kosmidou, 2007;Staikouras and Wood, 2004), listed companies' performance, measured through profitability and/or market value, is influenced by internal and external determinants. The internal determinants are specific to each company and result from management decisions, while external ones concern the macroeconomic environment and the specificity of the sector (Neves et al, 2020).…”

“…This paper contributes to the literature in different ways. First, it analyzes the Iberian market as a single market, given its geographic proximity and commercial relations between Portugal and Spain (Neves et al , 2020). The literature demonstrates a diversity of studies that consider multicountry samples, including Portugal and Spain (de Cabo et al , 2012; Fernandes et al , 2016; Proença et al , 2020; Terjesen, 2016).…”

Purpose This paper aims to analyze the performance determinants of listed companies in the Iberian Peninsula, focusing on the analysis of the effect of gender diversity and the structure of the board of directors. Design/methodology/approach To achieve this aim, the authors analyzed 97 listed companies, of which 23 are Portuguese and 74 are Spanish, between 2015 and 2019. The authors use Arellano and Bond’s (1991) generalized method of moments system model to test the hypotheses. Findings The results show an important impact of corporate governance variables on corporate performance. Specifically, board size, average director age and board academic qualifications are crucial to explaining profitability and market value. Moreover, the authors identified a nonlinear relationship between gender diversity and profitability and market value levels due to critical mass theory and quotas that enhance more social justice. The authors concluded that the corporate performance determinants differ depending on the performance measures. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first to analyze the nonlinear effect of gender diversity and board structure (size, educational qualifications and average director age) on the performance of Iberian listed companies as a single market.

“…Commercial banks, like for-profit companies, aim to maximize their profitability. The scientific literature that addresses the determinants of bank profitability is extensive, and researchers classify the factors that affect profitability into internal and external factors (Misra, 2015;Neves et al, 2020;Rahman et al, 2020). A third category is market factors.…”

This research seeks to answer these questions by analyzing multiple empirical articles carried out at different times, in different countries, and with various innovations. The research is divided into three sections: first, it presents a chronology of the evolution of banks, their main innovations, and events that have modified the banking business model to adapt it to banking today. The second is based on bibliometric tools to present the primary references of the articles that analyze the relationship between innovation and bank profitability and its conceptual structure. The third section analyzes the concept of branchless banking and its factors. Three findings stand out: 1) according to the empirical literature consulted, it is concluded that innovation does affect profitability, 2) publications have grown in recent years, with China being the most productive country and the United States the most influential, and 3) The concept of branchless banking is a viable alternative to measure innovation in the Mexican banking sector.

To examine how knowledge-based dynamic capabilities relate to firm performance through the mediating role of entrepreneurial orientation, we analyzed data of a sample of 1047 Portuguese and Spanish small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) of all industry sectors. The results reveal that knowledge-based dynamic capabilities are associated with firm performance and that the relationship is partially mediated by a firm’s entrepreneurial orientation. This mediation could be explained by the fact that an entrepreneurial orientation to identify and utilize new opportunities is integral to knowledge value creation and extraction, and to avoid pervasive rigidities. Our study sheds light on the mechanisms through which knowledge-based dynamic capabilities are associated with firm performance and helps to explain performance differences among firms. In addition, we provide management insight on how firms can deploy their knowledge-based dynamic capabilities and extract value from them to face change and promote their entrepreneurial orientation and performance.
