“…Regarding a quadratic relationship between CEE and ROA, we find a relationship in the form of a U in Model (10). However, in Models (11), (13), and ( 14), we find an inverted U-shaped relationship between human, relational, innovation capitals, and ROA. From these results, we can conclude that up to a certain level of efficiency, these capitals are the positive factors and that they become restrictive factors of FP beyond that level.…”

Intellectual capital (IC) is reckoned as a significant driving force of competitive advantage and financial sustainability of any organization. The study’s objective is to explore the nonlinear effect of IC and its components on financial performance (FP) of China’s listed shipping companies over a six-year period (2014–2019). The modified Value Added Intellectual Coefficient (MVAIC) model is used to systematically assess IC. The empirical results show an inverted U-shaped relationship between the aggregate IC and FP (measured through return on assets). Regarding IC components, human, relational, and innovation capitals have an inverted U-shaped relationship with FP, while the quadratic relationship between structural capital and FP is not significant. In addition, physical capital has a U-shaped relationship with FP. This study will offer some new insights for corporate managers to improve firms’ FP by effectively utilizing their IC resources.

“…During the pandemic, these input and output variables remained fundamental for the calculation of CSCs' efficiency. Therefore, in our study, similar inputs and outputs were also chosen based on this foundation of the literature, that is, owned‐in and chartered‐in fleet capacity from Chao (2017), Chao et al (2018), Hsieh et al (2021), Kuo et al (2020), number of employees from Chao et al (2018), Hsieh et al (2021), Kuo et al (2020), Panayides et al (2011), Wang et al (2014), Woo et al (2019), operating costs from Chao (2017), Chao et al (2018), Hsieh et al (2021), Kuo et al (2020), Lun and Marlow (2011), transported volumes from Bang et al (2012), Chao (2017), Chao et al (2018), Hsieh et al (2021), Kuo et al (2020), Lun and Marlow (2011), and revenue from Bang et al (2012), Chao (2017), Chao et al (2018), Hsieh et al (2021), Kuo et al (2020), Lun and Marlow (2011), Panayides et al (2011). Moreover, as COVID‐19 forced companies to undergo a lot of restructuring to meet with new challenges, the factors of cost and efficiency became even more prominent than before.…”

For the past several decades, the container shipping industry has grown rapidly. As a result, container shipping companies (CSCs) play a vital role in the global cargo transportation market. Thus, measuring the efficiency of CSCs is a primary concern of managers and practitioners. When the COVID‐19 pandemic broke out, the industry was severely disrupted and presented with unprecedented challenges. For this reason, evaluating how CSCs performed and learning the practices they took to achieve successful business results during this period have become necessary. To serve that purpose, this article used a hybrid method that combined data envelopment analysis Malmquist index with window analysis to analyze the world's nine leading CSCs' performance over time and their efficiency relative to each other, using data collected within a 5‐year period from 2016 to 2020. Our findings revealed different characteristics and trends in efficiency among these CSCs in terms of technical efficiency change, technological change, and total productivity change. Then, managerial implications were discussed to understand the best practices of successful CSCs as well as the circumstances in which some of them underperformed during this time. In closing, the study summarized a fact‐based guideline CSCs could take as management reference should a similar crisis occur.

“…Their bias-corrected results revealed that ten carriers could improve efficiencies on both cargo operations and environment practices. Similar to Kuo et al ( 2020 ), Hsieh et al ( 2021 ) analyzed the efficiency of global container carriers using NSBM and a directional distance function. Findings and implications were similar to those of Kuo et al ( 2020 ).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected various industries in different ways depending on their type of business. We attempt to understand the impact of the pandemic on the performance of 26 major container carriers. To capture performance differences before and during the pandemic, we collect data the years 2019 and 2020. Further, we divide carriers’ business processes into two stages , i.e., asset acquisitions and transport operations. We employ relevant data envelopment analysis (DEA) models to this effect. The mean efficiency score in 2020 was higher than in 2019. Overall, container carriers increased their performance during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, seven companies showed lower efficiency in 2020. Similarly, eight companies were efficient in their operations but not in asset acquisition decisions. Our results show that firm strategy is important in coping with external shocks. The contribution of the paper is in measuring the impact of external shocks, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, on the performance of container carriers, both in regard of their acquisitions and their operations.
