Corporate internal control, financial mismatch mitigation and innovation performance
1Systems and Industrial Engineering Technology Research Center, Zhongyuan University of Technology, Zhengzhou, Henan, China.
Effective internal control (IC) significantly boosts corporate innovation and reduces financial mismatch, with this mitigation acting as a key mediator. These findings are particularly pronounced in non-state-owned enterprises.
Area of Science:
- Business Administration
- Financial Economics
- Innovation Management
Background:
- Resource allocation optimization theory provides a framework for understanding corporate financial strategies.
- Internal control (IC) and financial mismatch are critical factors influencing corporate technological innovation.
- China's capital market offers a relevant context for examining these relationships.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the joint impact of internal control (IC) and financial mismatch on technological innovation.
- To explore the mediating role of financial mismatch mitigation in the relationship between IC and innovation.
- To analyze differences in these effects between state-owned and non-state-owned enterprises.
Main Methods:
- Utilizing data from listed enterprises in China's capital market (2012-2020).
- Applying econometric models to analyze the mechanisms among IC, financial mismatch, and technological innovation.
- Examining the moderating effects based on enterprise ownership (state-owned vs. non-state-owned).
Main Results:
- Effective internal control (IC) significantly promotes corporate innovation.
- Effective IC also mitigates financial mismatch.
- Financial mismatch mitigation acts as a significant mediator between IC and innovation output.
- The positive effects of IC on innovation and financial mismatch mitigation are more pronounced in non-state-owned enterprises.
Conclusions:
- Improving internal control (IC) effectiveness is crucial for stimulating innovation and optimizing financial resource allocation.
- Facilitating the transmission effect of IC in mitigating financial mismatch can enhance innovation output.
- Coordinated innovation activities across state-owned and non-state-owned enterprises are essential for steady economic development.
