Thesis (PhD) - Cyprus International University. Institute of Graduate Studies and Research Business Administration

The incorporation process is a legally binding procedure providing conclusive
evidence of establishing an independent corporate entity separate from its founders. A
company formed through this mechanism is an autonomous legal entity explicitly
designed to engage in profit-driven activities.
The study focused on three African countries (South Africa, Ghana, and Nigeria) and
three European countries (Germany, France, and the United Kingdom). The data for
the study were obtained from two main sources. The data on Ghana and Nigerian
manufacturing companies was gleaned from the annual report published. The data on
South Africa, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom were downloaded from the
Thomson Reuters DataStream.
The study used a purposive sampling method to select 60 manufacturing companies in
Africa, of which twenty-nine (29) were from South Africa, 17 were from Nigeria, and
14 were from Ghana. In the European countries, the study used 31 German, 39 French,
and 93 UK manufacturing firms studied between 2010 and 2022 via purposive
sampling.
According to the study, South Africa has the longest average board tenure at 7.85
years, followed by Nigeria at 4.7 years and Ghana at 3.9 years. The average board
tenure was found to have a positive and statistically significant effect on the return on
invested capital (ROIC) of the firms in South Africa and Ghana, and a positive and
statistically insignificant effect was found for the firms in Nigeria. The study indicated
that firms in South Africa have the highest percentage of female directors (24.26%),
followed by Ghana (17.8%) and Nigeria (17.3%). The study showed that female
representation on the corporate board has a positive and statistically significant effect
on all firms’ return on net operating assets (RONOA).
In France and Germany, longer board tenure correlated negatively with return on
invested capital, contrasting the UK's positive association. Female board
iv
representation in German firms positively impacted return on invested capital, while
it had a negative effect in France and the UK.
The study provides policy implications for shareholders, boards of directors, and other
stakeholders by enabling them to build confidence in the corporate governance
structure of manufacturing companies in the three countries. It is recommended,
among other things, that informed compensation strategies be developed in each
country to align with company performance without adversely affecting financial
outcomes.
