34、　　印度公司有著大量的負債。在西方國家，債務比率超過名義股本價值的一半就被認為是高負債率的, 與西方不同的是，在印度，高負債率是常態。在本文中，我們研究印度公司的負債結構對企業戰略的重要影響及后果。公司的戰略行為，主要為：多元化戰略、營銷戰略和外包戰略。我們發現，相比于那些依靠短期借貸機構貸款的公司，維持一個正常的債務水平的公司，則會有更好的業績表現，以及更有可能實施營銷和多元化戰略。我們認為，許多貸款機構的公有制可以解釋為什么他們一直

36、。相反，則會對公司的多元化和營銷戰略產生抑制作用。我們還發現，如果公司有定期存款，那么最有可能對公司盈利能力產生積極的影響。</p><p>　　本文剩下的幾個部分。第二部分中，我們描述了印度的債務市場。在第三部分，我們勾勒出一個分析框架，我們可以用它來了解債務結構的影響。第四部分則討論了債務結構對公司多元化戰略、營銷戰略和盈利能力的影響。最后，給出了結論。</p><p><b&g

37、t;　　印度的債務市場</b></p><p>　　在本節中，我們描述了印度債務市場的性質。我們還提供一個印度公司的債務結構分析，并且使用數據分析方法，對我們先前手機的數據進行詳細地分析，特別是分析債務結構的決定因素和公司日常經營的影響。 </p><p><b>　　印度的債務提供者 </b></p><p>　　由于股票市場不發

38、達，在印度，企業債券市場一直是很重要的。在印度，公司借款一般使用五種債務工具，它們是: (1)從商業銀行獲得的短期借款；(2) 從短期借貸機構獲得的長期借款，我們稱之為公共借款機構; (3) 債券、公司債券形式的借款的，在某些(不是全部)的情況下，經過特定的鎖定期后轉換為股票; (4)固定存款，在給定的時間內獲得的存款收益率; (5) 剩余類別稱為“其他借貸”，包括貿 易信貸和國內市場的其他基金。 </p><p&g

39、t;　　印度公司的債務結構 </p><p>　　我們首先開始描述我們的數據分析。本文的研究結果，我們已經討論過，使用回歸分析法進行分析，我們獲得一個在孟買證券交易所1988年到1993年上市期間，專門編制的1052家印度公司的數據，數據收集源于多個渠道。印度的經濟監測中心(CMIE)為我們提供了初始數據。企業借貸數據則來自于各個公司的資產負債表。公司的所有權和細節等方面的信息從孟買證券交易所，政府司法機構等處收

40、集而來。 </p><p>　　印度目前的債務結構中，銀行借款是最重要的來源，占到借款總額的39.7%；緊隨其后的是從其他金融機構的借款，為29.7%。債券和固定存款分別占總借款的5.8%和11.6；而其他借款占借款總額的13.1%。我們還分析了股權結構，私營企業的平均持有股份為26%，而政府和外國人持有的股份分別為17歲和11%。股票所有權的集中，在印度不是一個普遍的現象——董事平均9%，排名前50的股東平均6

41、%。 </p><p>　　債務結構對公司戰略和績效的影響 </p><p>　　債務結構對企業的戰略行為的影響有很多方面。我們主要重點研究了兩個方面: 公司是否實施多元化戰略，以及花多少錢在廣告營銷 支出上。同樣，有多種方法可以評估公司的業績，在本文中，我們只看盈利能力。我們首先討論對公司多元化戰略的影響。 </p><p><b>　　多元化戰略 &l

42、t;/b></p><p>　　關于為什么管理者的利益來自于多元化，存在幾個爭論。首先, 在管理一家大公司時，管理者得到一定程度的權力和威望 (詹森,1986;斯塔爾茨1986)。第二，管理薪酬隨公司規模不同而不同。第三，多元化戰略可能降低經理人千篇一律的個人投資組合的風險(列弗,1981)。最后，多樣化戰略可能使管理者成為公司不可或缺的資源 (施萊費爾,1989)。 </p><p&g

43、t;<b>　　廣告營銷戰略 </b></p><p>　　眾所周知，戰略管理理論認為，廣告是企業在產品市場競爭的一個關鍵組成部分。廣告營銷是一個重要的組成部分，以贏得產品的市場競爭優勢，為消費者提供信息，從而增加公司間的競爭，使市場更具競爭力。此外，廣告傳達的戰略意圖信息，可以為企業帶來更多的市場份額和更大的客戶群。 </p><p><b>　　經營業績

44、 </b></p><p>　　最后，我們評估債務結構對公司經營業績的影響，主要是通過銷售利潤率來衡量 (博德曼和瓦伊寧，1989)。先前的研究(凱梅爾,1986)，建立了會計比率與經濟回報率的顯著相關關系。 </p><p><b>　　結論 </b></p><p>　　在本文中,我們研究了債務結構對企業戰略行為和經營績效的影響

45、，印度目前是當今世界最大的和最重要的經濟體之一。印度有大量的工業部門企業，以及各種各樣的所有權結構，例如：國家和私人所有權、國外與國內的所有權以及商業團體成員公司和獨立所有權公司。債務融資在印度尤其重要，在西方國家，債務比率超過名義股本價值的一半就被認為是高負債率的, 與西方不同的是，在印度，高負債率是常態。 </p><p>　　我們發現公司如果能維持一個正常的債務水平，并且如果持有債券和固定存款，那么這樣的債
