Although fostering innovativeness has long been one of the most important concerns for marketing theory and practice, CEOs continue to identify the lack of an innovation culture as one of the main obstacles they must overcome. Corporate culture permeates from the top of the corporate hierarchy. Therefore, the role of the corporate board can be critical for nurturing an innovation culture and thus stimulating innovativeness inputs. As marketing training and orientation emphasize innovation to create customer value and drive growth, marketing-experienced board members (MEBMs) can be particularly instrumental in fostering innovativeness inputs through their direction and counseling. Therefore, in this paper, we investigate whether the marketing expertise and information brought by MEBMs contribute to firm innovativeness inputs. Furthermore, based on the governance literature, we identify three specific CEO job characteristics that influence a CEO’s information processing capacity and ability to implement strategies based on that information, thus enhancing MEBMs’ effectiveness in fostering innovativeness. Analysis of a large representative dataset reveals that marketing expertise brought by MEBMs increases firm innovativeness inputs and that CEO risk-taking incentives, insider CEO, and CEO duality enhance MEBMs’ effectiveness in fostering innovativeness inputs. The results highlight the value of having marketers on the corporate board and the importance of their counsel to CEOs.

This paper studies empirically the relationship between competition and risk taking in banking markets. We exploit an unique dataset providing information about all bank loans to Norwegian firms over several years. Rather than relying on observed market shares, we use the distance between bank branches and firms to measure the competitiveness of local markets. The cross-sectional and longitudinal variation in competition in local markets are used to identify the relationship between competition and risk taking, which we measure by the non-performing loans and loss provision rates of the individual banks. We find that more competition leads to more risk taking. We also examine the effects of bank competition on the availability of loans. More competition leads to lower interest rates and higher loan volumes, but also makes it more difficult for small and newly established firms to obtain a loan.

Attending an accredited business school can provide you with confidence in the quality of education you’ll receive and can enhance your future job prospects.
This article will explore each of these accreditations in detail and shed light on the benefits of attending a triple-accredited school, such as TBS Education.
If you’re considering pursuing a degree in business, you’ll want to ensure that the schools you’re considering have the proper accreditation.
Accreditation is a formal process of evaluation that ensures a school meets certain standards of quality in education, faculty, facilities, and student services. For business schools, accreditation can come from a variety of organizations, but the most widely recognized are the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), the European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS), and the Association of MBAs (AMBA).
Attending an accredited business school can give you confidence in the quality of education you’ll receive and can enhance your future job prospects.
The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) is one of the most widely recognized accreditations for business schools around the world.
Founded in 1916, the AACSB’s mission is to advance quality management education worldwide through accreditation, thought leadership, and value-added services. The AACSB accreditation process is rigorous and requires schools to meet strict standards of quality in education, research, and professional engagement.
AACSB-accredited schools are recognized for their commitment to academic excellence, faculty scholarship, and preparing graduates for successful careers in the business world. Attending an AACSB-accredited school can provide you with a competitive advantage in the job market and a higher level of assurance that you’re receiving a quality education.

EQUIS-accredited schools are recognized for their commitment to excellence and continuous improvement in business education. By attending an EQUIS-accredited school, students can be assured of receiving a high-quality education that prepares them for successful careers in the global business world.
EQUIS accreditation is also valued by employers, who recognize the rigorous standards that EQUIS-accredited schools must meet.

Founded in 1967, the AMBA’s mission is to promote excellence in postgraduate business education and to provide a platform for business schools and MBA students to connect and network.
