    Is there a “Dark Side” to Monitoring? Board and Shareholder Monitoring Effects on M&A Performance Extremeness
    (Wiley, 2017-11) Goranova, Maria; Priem, Richard L.; Ndofor, Hermann Achidi; Trahms, Cheryl A.; Kelley School of Business - Indianapolis
    Research summary: We investigate the effects of monitoring by boards of directors and institutional shareholders on merger and acquisition (M&A) performance extremeness using a sample of M&A deals from 1997 to 2006. Both governance research and legal reforms generally have espoused a “raise all boats” view of monitoring. We instead investigate whether monitoring may serve as a double-edged sword that limits CEO discretion to undertake both value-destroying M&A deals and value-creating ones. Our findings indicate that the relationship between monitoring and M&A performance is more complex than previously believed. Rather than “raising all boats” in a shift towards better M&A outcomes, monitoring instead is associated with lower M&A losses, but also with lower M&A gains.

    (2016-10-23) Norris, Kristin; Weiss, H. Anne; Mack, Heather; Medlin, Kristin; Wittman, Amanda
    Most campuses are eager to answer the question "How are students, faculty, and staff at my campus working to address wicked or public problems?" In this presentation we explore a range of strategies to track and monitor community-engaged activities going on across your campus, which includes curricular, co-curricular or project-based activities that are done in collaboration with the community. This presentation gives participants tools, strategies, steps, and information that can be used to design, initiate, and/or enhance systematic assessment or evaluation of community-engaged activities.
