  • Financial Hegemony, Diversification Strategies and the Firm Value of Top 30 FTSE Companies in Malaysia
    Asian Social Science; Vol. 12, No. 3; 2016 ISSN 1911-2017 E-ISSN 1911-2025 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education Financial Hegemony, Diversification Strategies and the Firm Value of Top 30 FTSE Companies in Malaysia Wan Sallha Yusoff1, Mohd Fairuz Md. Salleh2, Azlina Ahmad2 & Norida Basnan2 1 School of Business Innovation and Technopreneurship, Universiti Malaysia Perlis, Malaysia 2 School of Accounting, Faculty of Economics and Management, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Malaysia Correspondence: Wan Sallha Yusoff, School of Business Innovation and Technopreneurship, Universiti Malaysia Perlis, Malaysia. E-mail: [email protected] Received: August 8, 2015 Accepted: January 18, 2016 Online Published: February 23, 2016 doi:10.5539/ass.v12n3p14 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/ass.v12n3p14 Abstract This study investigates the relationships between financial hegemony groups, global diversification strategies and firm value of the Malaysia’s 30 largest companies listed in FTSE Bursa Malaysia Index Series during 2009 to 2012 period. We chose Malaysia as an ideal setting because the findings contribute to the phenomenon of the diversification–performance relationship in the Southeast Asian countries. We apply hegemony stability theory to explain the importance of financial hegemony groups in deciding international locations for operations. By using panel data analysis, we find that financial hegemony groups are significantly important in international location decisions. Results reveal that the stability of financial hegemony in BRICS and G7 groups enhances the financial value of the Malaysia’s 30 largest companies, whereas the stability of financial hegemony in ASEAN groups is able to enhance the non-financial value of the firms.
