As discussed, the research
is still generic, vague, and less interesting. It needs to be focus from the
very beginning. The issue is that the conflict of interests of Large/Large
shareholders in relation to asset-heavy/light strategy, which makes an impact
on the shareholders’ value. This will lead to concrete real problem, and data collection
strategy. To make your work relevant and interesting, you will need to focus from
the very beginning:

Gap in practice ((to be more
clarified, reflected according to the Venn diagrams of Boolean Algebra, and
redraw the chart nicely)).

One of the key issues that are
associated with shareholder value maximisation is the conflict between
shareholders, mainly large/large shareholders as well as large/small
shareholders (Hart & Zingales, 2016). The conflict of interest between the
large/large shareholders is a complex issue that makes a negative impact on the
shareholder’s value and the overall performance of the firm. In determining the
future of the company, it is common for large/large shareholders to have
different interests, which ultimately give rise to conflicts. Therefore, the
key rationale of this research is associated with addressing the issues related
to the conflict of interests between the large/large shareholders. In this
context, agency theory is considered as the most useful model for forming new
governance controls and design to effectively deal with conflict of interest
issues (Javaid & Javid, 2017). Hence, to accomplish the main objective of
this research related to developing new reporting and operating framework for
IHI, the researcher has utilized agency theory. Another major research problem
that has been addressed through this research is of asset-heavy approach and
its integration with the value maximisation for the shareholders. The company
under scrutiny for this research follows an asset-heavy approach which has been
analysed comprehensively. The gap mentioned in the above discussion can be
better understood with the help of the following Venn diagram.

 

• Research Questions (to be reviewed and rewrite by the writer to reflect the Gap
  in practice):

RQ 1: What
are the key drivers of the conflict between large/large shareholders in
relation to Asset-heavy approach, and how could this affect shareholders value?

RQ 2: Why
can an asset-heavy versus an asset-light approach contribute to shareholder
value maximization?

RQ 3: To
what extend could Corinthia Group better manage its “asset-heavy approach” to
increase Shareholders Value?

Note: Selling some of
asset-heavy could be part of the solution as well as an advantage of having an
initial asset-heavy strategy.

Re-think and Re-Write “Research Question” carefully
and keep relating back to these research objectives throughout your work and
avoid veering off on questions that are less relevant.

• Literature review:

• Research framework (to be amended).

• Governance Theories of Shareholders:
• It will be helpful
  to create a matrix and show how the theories give different answers to these
  questions.

• Focus more on more
  on the similarities, not only the differences, between the theoretical
  perspectives. You may also consider emotional factors in strategic
  decision-making.

• The Role of large and
  small shareholder

Your Literature section had shown mainly the
conflict between the large/small shareholders. As noted from the below shareholders
pie of the company under scrutiny (IHI), the small shareholders is just 8%,
which is very small and it is very interesting discussion to focus mainly on
the conflict of interests of the large/large shareholders in relation to
asset-heavy/light strategy with its impact on the shareholders’ value. However,
you should touch the minority/majority in your work with less attention.

•    The Role of Large and Large shareholder:

The large/large shareholders are always having
multiple objectives regarding financial factors such (earnings, Dividends,
share market…etc), and non-factors such as (reputation, community, political
influence, …etc). Moreover, these multiple objectives include the aligned
objectives and disagreed and incompatible targets … 

In other words, there are an argument between large
shareholders in relation to an asset-heavy approach. Some of the majority
shareholders try to stick to the asset-heavy approach that goes against the
conventional wisdom of the industry, while other majority shareholders want to
go for the asset-light approach. You should present this argument, and discuss:

• reconciling the interests between different large
  shareholders.
• emotional vs. strategy.

Luis R.Gomez-Mejia

• Research methods:

Based on the above amendment, Questionnaire
and Interviews questions need to be reviewed. I suggest that think about these questions
in the coming weeks and re-think/re-design your data collection strategy.
Please read the section about the interview method carefully in the book below.
You will also need to transcribe the interviews, so perhaps you can record them
on tape and transcribe them afterwards. Please think about which interview
partners from inside and outside your company can help you answer the concrete
questions above, be creative and imaginative.

Recommended reading:

• Discussion of results

The table that summarized the research
questions with the help of three theories: agency theory, stewardship theory,
and stakeholder’s theory is still very vague, and less interesting. It is just
a statement and does not have any contrast. It should show contrasts.

• Possible Solution:

• What is your imaginative solution to the problem?
• Clarify and elaborate what the “solution” on intention can be drawing on
  existing evidence/theory/literature. Clarify the novelty.
• Evidence how your intention made difference.
• Think about an impactful practical intervention, whether it’s the
  dual-listing in London or the communication strategy or something else???
• Show evidence that your solution makes a difference to practice. It
  should help you in your company and challenge the views of yourself and your
  colleagues, and it should also develop lessons for practitioners elsewhere that
  you can publish in a book.

Requirements:

“you need to think about an impactful
intervention in practice that you will undertake in relation to your RQs. Think
about this very carefully, because it will shape your narrative. Accordingly,
please provide me with a 5-page document about your planned intervention”.
