Abstract

Companies face various factors that are unpredictable during their economic life, and it is the managers who make the final decisions necessary for the company. Managers must have the necessary ability to identify the specific position and characteristics of the company in order to be able to make the best decision for the company based on their knowledge. Ability to manage is one of the dimensions of corporate human capital that is classified as intangible assets (Hajib et al., 2016). When managers' decisions have a significant impact on the performance of the organization; The ability of managers will lead to effectiveness in the day-to-day operations of the organization. Therefore, the ability of managers improves the net present value for the organization (Burke and Stanton, 2007). Recent research shows that the ability to manage is one of the determinants of corporate performance. On the other hand, it can be expected that the improvement of economic data (including market value added) will also strengthen the predictability of managers.This study investigates the two-side relationship between management ability and market value added using the method of simultaneous equations. For this purpose, the required information for the period of 2014-2018 was collected for 105 companies and the research hypothesis was tested using the method of simultaneous equations (granger-causality). The results showed significant two-side relationship between management ability and MVA, also; two side granger-causality between management ability and economic value added: p-value (0.000), with 95 percent statistical significance.
