Abstract

This paper explores the relationship between managerial discretion and firm performance in Chinese listed firms. Empirical results indicate that the relationship between managerial discretion and firm performance differs across firms belonging high-tech sector and traditional industry. Managerial discretion is negatively related to firm performance in traditional companies. By contrast, in high-tech firms, with large share of knowledge related activities, higher managerial discretion is associated with better firm performance.
