Ibrahim* School of Management, Universiti Sains Malaysia, 11800 USM, Penang, Malaysia haslindar@usm.my F.A. Samad Faculty of Business and Accountancy, University of Malaya, 50603 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia mfazilah@um.edu.my Received June 2009 We compare corporate governance and performance between family and non-family ownership of public listed companies in Malaysia from 1999 through 2005 measured by Tobin’s Q and ROA. We also examine the governance mechanisms as a tool in monitoring agency costs based on asset utilization ratio and expense ratio as proxy for agency costs. We find that on average firm value is lower in family firms than non-family firms, while board size, independent director and duality have a significant impact on firm performance in family firms as compared to non family firms. We also find that these governance mechanisms have significant impact on agency costs for both family and non family firms. *To whom all correspondence should be addressed.

...on the Topic: Analyzing Performance Evaluations involves evaluating three characteristics: a Bank’s liquidity, profitability and efficiency. A short-term creditor, such as a bank, is primarily interested in liquidity---the ability of the borrower to pay obligations when they come due. The liquidity of the borrower is extremely important in evaluating the safety of a loan. A long-term creditor, such as a bondholder, looks to profitability and solvency measures that indicate the Bank’s ability to survive over a long period of time. Long-term creditors consider such measures as the amount of debt in the Bank’s capital structure and its ability to meet interest payments. Similarly, stockholders look at the profitability and solvency of the Bank. They want to assess the likelihood of dividends and the growth potential of the stock. Performance managers review and analyze the firm’s Performance Evaluations periodically, both to uncover developing problems and to assess the firm’s progress toward achieving its goal. These actions are aimed at preserving and creating value for the firm’s owner. Performance ratios enable Performance managers to monitors the pulse of the firm and its progress towards its strategic goals. Although Performance Evaluations and Performance ratios rely on accrual concepts, they can provide useful insights into important aspects of risk and return that affect share price, which management is attempting to maximize. Performance Evaluation analysis is a...
