Abstract: This commodity aimed to highlight the relationships between these characteristics and the use of upper-case letter budgeting practices. For the choice of articles published on "capital budgeting" it was used the Proknow-C tool. It was found that the theory-practice gap is both related with the organizational and managerial characteristics from the practical point of view, simply requires a review by academicians. Organizations should seek professionals with experience in capital projects appraisal and who are familiar with and knowledgeable in the use of adequate practices for decision-making. This inquiry contributes past indicating the research gaps that need to be explored by researchers and past trying to identify the difficulties found by managers that interfere in the upper-case letter budgeting results.

Keywords: Integrative review, Capital budgeting practices, Organizational characteristics, Managerial characteristics.

i INTRODUCTION

Capital budgeting plays a cardinal role in the fiscal management strategy of whatsoever organization and, therefore, requires that managers ensure that whatsoever investment decision making is supportive of the organizational strategy and enhances its competitive advantage (BRIJLAL; QUESADA, 2009; BATRA; VERMA, 2014). The quality of such decisions requires many skills and competencies, one time they does not merely serve as the footing for other decisions but too determines the future corporate success and profitability (DAMOLOLA, 2007; KOCH; MAYPER; WILNER, 2009; BENNOUNA; MEREDITH; MARCHANT, 2010). For this reason, Carmona, Iyer and Reckers (2011) consider they as i of the most difficult kind of decisions. Such difficulty lies in 5 main aspects.

First, decisions on capital expenditure are among the most complex decisions that organizations take to make because they involve uncertainties relating to future estimated cash catamenia and social, technological, economic and political impacts of the investment, which increases the appraisement complexity (PANDEY, 2005). Second, almost all investment expenditures are irreversible (PINDYCK, 1988). There is also some difficulty in finding a second-mitt market for the capital items acquired, i.e., whatsoever decision based on inaccurate investment projections may crusade large losses to the firm (PANDEY, 2005). For these reasons, it is vital that organizations classify their resources in a well-founded and planned mode to maximize their time to come outcomes. Third, decision on upper-case letter investment has a significant influence on the business' growth, profitability and strategy. Whatever investment determination fabricated wrongly may ruin the system or diminish its competitiveness (ANDREWS; BUTLER, 1986; PANDEY, 2005). Fourth, capital letter expenditures require significant amounts of resources, which crave that organizations define the best way to obtain and render such invested funds (CHAN, 2004; OLAWALE; OLUMUYIWA; GEORGE, 2010). Fifth, most of the decisions entail a long-term liability, making imperative a careful cess of the investment to be made (PANDEY, 2005).

In this context, corporate capital budgeting decisions accept been a mature topic of discussion and urged the conduction of researches since the 1960s. Evidences in the 1960s and 1970s already indicated a certain managerial trend to use more sophisticated practices more than often, based on discounted cash flows. Likewise, some researchers began to report a widening gap between the fiscal theory and the practices adopted past organizations (ANDRÉS; FUENTE; MARTIN, 2015).

Studies carried out on this topic involved the achievement of simple objectives, i.east., about the apply of upper-case letter budgeting or which are the practices that are less or more used by managers. They likewise focused on detailed approaches, aiming to explain which disbelieve rates were used, how greenbacks flows were measured and why the theory-practice gap remained (Thruway, 1996; ARNOLD; HATZOPOULOS, 2000; GRAHAM; HARVEY, 2002; RYAN; RYAN 2002; SANDAHL; SJÖGREN, 2003; BROUNEN; JONG; KOEDIJK, 2004; LAZARIDIS, 2004; BENNOUNA; MEREDITH; MARCHANT, 2010; KHAMEES; AL-FAYOUMI; AL-THUNEIBAT, 2010; HALL; MILLARD, 2010).

Although literature mentions that more sophisticated practices have emerged and could be adopted by businesses, there are managers who do not use them (Thruway, 1983; GRAHAM; HARVEY, 2002; EGBIDE; AGBUDE; UWUIGBE, 2013). Therefore, a gap is created between what theory dictates and what is done in practice. In fact, little is known almost the factors that have influence on the decision making process regarding capital letter budgeting, i.eastward., what leads to a more or less sophisticated decision. Sophistication refers to the use of theoretically college methods and the systematic planning, assessment and control procedures of capital budgeting (Throughway, 1984). Moreover, aspects related to the external and internal environments as well as the organizational characteristics may impact decision and the command processes used (PIKE, 1986).

Research suggests that the difference betwixt theory and practice is mainly caused past the divergence of the practitioner: managers are unable to apply the practices that should exist used in the assay of investment projects (ANDRÉS; FUENTE; MARTÍN, 2015). In fact, it seems that decision-makers are unfamiliar or do not know the about appropriate methods (LAZARIDIS, 2004; BRIJLAL; QUESADA, 2009; HALL; MILLARD, 2010), in addition to having difficulties in measuring practices (PINCHES, 1982). In addition, factors such equally cerebral ability, preferences, contour, function, experience and training of managers likewise affect majuscule budgeting decisions (for example, BRIJLAL; QUESADA, 2009; EGBIDE; AGBUDE; UWUIGBE, 2013). The results of these surveys indicate that several characteristics of managers interfere with the use of practices. Withal, such studies are not able to demonstrate which are the determining aspects for choosing one or the other exercise (SOUZA; LUNKES, 2016).

In order to understand why organizations do what they practice or perform as they do, one must consider the biases and dispositions of their well-nigh powerful actors: top executives (HAMBRICK; Bricklayer, 1984). Organizations reverberate what their leaders think, feel, perceive and believe in (OPPONG, 2014).

Regarding the teams of summit managers, Li (2016) argues that the feel and noesis they have tin create strategic resources and capabilities for the entire company. These skills play a crucial role in the resource resource allotment of organizations, affecting, in turn, the growth rates (HUTZSCHENREUTER; HORST-KOTTE, 2013).

As can exist seen, despite the recognized importance of investment decisions and their apply by visitor managers, fiddling is known about the relationship between organizational and managerial characteristics and the capital letter budgeting decision-making process. With the purpose of expanding such knowledge, the aim of the present review is to highlight the relationships between these characteristics and the use of majuscule budgeting practices.

This integrative review is justified past the intended new interpretation of the capital budgeting literature existing so far. The previous research pointed to the existence of a gap between theory and practice, but made only descriptive inferences virtually the use of more or less sophisticated practices by managers, but without checking or relating explanations of why such a choice for one practise or some other happens or not.

It is expected that the outcomes of this review may assist academicians to sympathize how said characteristics operate and affect decision making, in order to review the theory. It is too expected that this study may be useful for professionals to realize the effects of their decisions and have steps to better them.

2 CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK -GUIDING THEORY

Capital budgeting decisions stand for the organization's main business concern once they can bear on the business structure (BERALDI et al., 2013). The theory that guides this research, the Upper Echelons Theory, argues that the values, experiences and personalities of the pinnacle direction team interfere in the strategic choices of the arrangement, as well equally in the success of those choices (HAMBRICK, 2007). Demographic characteristics, such as historic period, sexual practice, education and functional experience, are indicative of underlying cognitive and affective managerial aspects that determine the decisions of management teams, which afterwards influence the organisation's performance (BELL et al., 2011).

Amidst the perspectives of the mentioned Theory, Hambrick (2007) states that teams of heterogeneous upper echelons, composed of managers with different demographic skills and profiles, tin can explain the differences in strategic choices, innovation and performance of companies.

The cognitive basis and values of executives in the upper echelons are based on their observable characteristics such as historic period, time in the position, education, socioeconomic roots and financial situation. Therefore, organizational results are associated with the observable characteristics of these professionals (CARPENTER; GELETKANYCZ; SANDERS, 2004).

In this context, the profile of managers is understood as a feature that impacts on uppercase budgeting decisions due to the level of formal education (GRAHAM; HARVEY, 2001; HALL; MILLARD, 2010; TRESIERRA-TANAKA; VEGA-ACUÑA, 2019), experience (PRUITT; GITMAN, 1987; ANDRÉS; FUENTE; MARTÍN, 2015) and office (Pike, 1988; KLAMMER, 1972). Duly qualified managers, both in terms of bookish training and work experience, must make more informed and prudent applications of capital budgeting practices (HALL; MILLARD, 2010).

Studies indicate that university-educated professionals are more likely to use discounted cash period techniques as opposed to those without academy education (LEON; ISA; KESTER, 2008). Managers with a Main of Business concern Administration (MBA) or a master's degree in finance are more likely to use more sophisticated techniques, compared to those without the aforementioned backgrounds (GRAHAM; HARVEY, 2001; KENGATHARAN; NURULLAH, 2018).

Capital budget forecasts can be afflicted by managers' lack of experience (PRUITT; GITMAN, 1987). Indeed, managers who take more than years of experience in the organisation tend to employ more sophisticated practices (ANDRÉS; FUENTE; MARTÍN, 2015). On the other hand, older executives adopt simpler techniques (GRAHAM; HARVEY, 2001).

Bertrand and Schoar (2003) argue that managers play a critical role in investment policies, fiscal policies, organizational strategies and the company'due south operational performance. The results of the study by Bertrand and Schoar (2003) reflect the argument of Hambrick and Mason (1984) on the operations and performance of companies, summarizing the impacts of the characteristics of peak executives, such as level of education, functional experience, professional feel and financial position.

In fact, the characteristics of managers are pointed out for interfering in the apply of practices. Even so, until then information technology is not clear which and how they can influence the choice of using ane or the other methodology.

3 METHOD

This investigation consists of an integrative literature review because it is a form of research that reviews, critiques and synthetizes noesis from literature on a topic in an integrated way such that new frameworks and perspectives are generated (TORRACO, 2005).

The literature review began with the choice of articles on "capital budgeting". At this phase, the intervention tool used was the Proknow-C (Cognition Development Process-Constructivist), a structured procedure for the construction of knowledge by the researcher on a topic or matter (DUTRA et al., 2015; WAICZYK; ENSSLIN, 2013).

The choice of articles includes: (i) definition of the keyword(south) to be used in the search; (ii) choice of databases; (three) search of articles on the selected databases; and (4) adherence exam of keywords (WAICZYK; ENSSLIN, 2013).

The keywords defined were "capital budgeting", "investment upkeep" and "investment appraisal", in one case uppercase budgeting refers to the appraisal of long-term investment projects. These words combinations were used in the search for articles in seven databases (EBSCO Academic Search Premier, ISI Web of Scientific discipline, Emerald Insight, Scientific discipline Directly, Scopus - Elsevier, Wiley Online Library and Scientific Periodicals Electronic Library - SPELL).

The search was conducted from May 2022 and resulted in a total of iii,997 papers. The period was non limited, i.e., the articles published until May 2022 could be selected. 3,997 articles were plant, and they were filtered according to their redundancy, title alignment, scientific acknowledgement and abstract alignment. 2.342 redundant references were identified and excluded. Redundancy happens considering the aforementioned article can exist indexed in more than than i database. Thus, when filtering dissimilar databases, the same article tin can be selected more than once, so it is necessary to eliminate information technology in the filtering.

At that moment, the 2,214 articles were read and the alignment of each of them was verified in relation to the research topic. It can be seen that the process resulted in 233 manufactures with titles properly aligned, and 1,981 were eliminated at this stage because they were considered misaligned. Titles such as "Economic evaluation of short rotation coppice systems for free energy from biomass", "Life cycle costing: evaluating its use in Great britain practice" and "Expressway capital expenditure and the economic wheel" were eliminated and "Capital budgeting under weather of uncertainty", Investment Decisions on Long-term Assets: Integrating Strategic and Fiscal Perspectives" and "Investment appraisal techniques and constraints on capital letter investment" were considered aligned.

The 233 articles with aligned titles were submitted to a scientific recognition test. This test aims to verify the potential of the commodity for the composition of the bibliographic portfolio, that is, how much it is referenced past authors who bargain with majuscule budget. To evaluate this recognition before the bookish customs, the corporeality of citations of each article in the Google Scholar platform was checked. The number of citations of the 233 was manually collected on June, 2020.

Afterwards assessing the scientific recognition, the data of the manufactures were organized in descending order according to the number of citations. In this database, the pct of representativeness of the citations was calculated in relation to the total of 5,721. From the adding of the cumulative percentage, a cutoff point was defined in ninety% of the total citations, which corresponds to 68 articles with 22 or more than citations. Such a cut is defined by the researcher. The 68 articles were incorporated into the "K Repository".

The selection of the 68 articles is justified since together they take a total of 5,149 citations, while the 165 totals only 572 citations. The 165 articles that have 10% of the citations, that is, have scientific recognition below to the cutoff bespeak or non yet confirmed for beingness recent and have not received quotations from the scientific community. Such articles were incorporated into the "P Repository".

The reading of the 68 abstracts allowed to identify 31 aligned to the theme and that were incorporated into the "A Repository". These articles take scientific recognition and have title and abstruse aligned. The remaining 37 articles with not-adherent abstracts were deleted.

Authors and co-authors were selected from the 31 manufactures in "A Repository", with the purpose of composing the "Bank of authors". This bank is used to verify if the articles in the "P Repository" were developed by authors of "A Repository", since the authors of the latter may have a scientific trajectory of studies about the upper-case letter budget.

It was noticed that 73 unlike researchers compose "A Repository". It is therefore possible that articles in the "P Repository" have been written by those authors or have not been cited in other research since their publication. Therefore, recent articles or authors of the "Banking company of authors" need to be analyzed.

In order to avert relevant articles being discarded from the bibliographic portfolio, the assay of the articles in the "P Repository" is to verify if at that place is any commodity without scientific recognition recently published. Thus, manufactures published in 2022 until 2022 were considered recent.

It was verified that 28 recent manufactures of the "P Repository" take been institute. Thus, the abstracts of these articles were read, to verify the possible alignment to the subject nether report. In this stage, viii manufactures with aligned summary were identified and added to "B Repository". In this way, it can exist observed that the other 21 contempo articles were considered to be misaligned to the research topic and, therefore, do not vest to "B Repository".

In addition, the authors and co-authors of the 137 non-recent manufactures were analyzed to verify if they belong to the "Bank of authors" and 2 manufactures were identified. The abstracts of the 2 articles were read and the adherence to the research theme was verified. We institute 2 manufactures aligned and added to "B Repository". The manufactures were "Measuring the use of uppercase budgeting techniques with the postal questionnaire - the Britain perspective" by Rogers W. Mills and Richard H. Motorway'due south "The bear upon of corporate investment objectives and constraints on capital budgeting practices".

Thus, "B Repository" consisted of 10 articles, of which 8 are recent and ii are from the "Banking company of authors". Finally, the 31 manufactures in "A Repository" and the 10 articles in "B Repository", which gave ascent to "C Repository", are combined. This repository has 41 articles with title and abstract aligned.

The terminal phase of the filtering of the raw articles bank comprises the assay of the gratuity and integral availability and complete reading of the manufactures. In this line, the 41 articles of "C Repository" were available and costless of charge through the CAPES Periodicals Portal, Google Bookish or databases of periodicals signed by the Library of the Federal University of Santa Catarina.

Information technology was found that 41 manufactures were available completely and free of charge. From the full reading, information technology was institute that 32 discussed, from some perspective, the employ of the uppercase budgeting. These articles were considered aligned and were therefore kept in the "Primary Repository".

To finalize the process of construction of the bibliographic portfolio, the bibliographic references that were used by the authors of the 32 chief articles are analyzed.

Thus, the references of the articles were compiled, totaling 811 in the References Database. Firstly, 503 were identified and eliminated from redundant references or from conferences, books, and other sources. The References Database without duplicity presented a total of 308 articles, which were submitted to the analysis regarding alignment of championship.

So, the alignment of the title of 69 articles with the theme of the inquiry was verified. The 69 articles with aligned titles were submitted to the scientific recognition test. After assessing the scientific recognition, the data of the articles were ordered in descending club according to the number of citations. The pct of representativeness of the citations was calculated in relation to the total of half dozen,215. From the calculation of the cumulative percentage, a cutting-off betoken was defined in fourscore% of the total citations, which corresponds to 30 manufactures with 71 or more than citations.

The abstracts of the thirty articles were read, since ix were already in the primary portfolio, and there were seven adherents to the research theme. In this way, the complete reading was performed and it was verified that seven are aligned with the research theme.

This concludes the construction of the Bibliographic Portfolio. It is constituted by 39 manufactures, 32 of them originate from the primary portfolio and 7 from their references. As a result, nosotros identified two perspectives capable of existence interpreted nether a new perspective, non even so addressed by the literature, every bit shown in Chart 1.

Chart 1

Perspectives of the integrative review

Source: Authors.

It can be seen that 35 articles are associated with Perspective 1, i.e., studies that allow having a new viewpoint on the relationship between organizational and managerial characteristics with capital budgeting practices. On the other hand, there are 13 manufactures relating to Perspective ii, which address improved decisions on capital budgeting. Of the total articles selected, ix are related to both perspectives.

four INTEGRATIVE REVIEW

The present integrative review is made through ii lenses (perspectives). Perspective 1, which involves the relationships of organizational and managerial characteristics with the employ of capital budgeting practices, depends on a split up assay of the influences of organizational and managerial characteristics in capital budgeting practices. Afterwards, from the difficulties faced by managers, Perspective 2 consists of suggestions that may yield improvements in capital budgeting decisions.

iv.i INFLUENCE OF THE ORGANIZATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS IN THE Employ OF Majuscule BUDGETING PRACTICES

Majuscule budgeting decisions have a far-reaching touch on on corporate functioning, besides being critical to the success or failure of any business (BATRA; VERMA, 2014). For this reason, in some situations, the use of more sophisticated decisions is significantly associated with higher effectiveness of majuscule investments, while less sophisticated decisions are negatively associated (PIKE, 1988). The importance of sophisticated decision making primarily lies in the fact that it is able of providing more benefits to financial direction when compared to the less sophisticated process of decision.

The practices considered more sophisticated include discounted cash flow, which take into consideration the value of money over time, namely: internet current value, internal rate of return, modified internal rate of return and profitability. Among the simplest practices, considered classifying ratios, are payback, discounted payback and accounting rate of return (HAKA; GORDON; PINCHES, 1985; Thruway, 1988; BRIGHAM; ERHARDT, 2002).

Thus, an exploratory taxonomy of the organizational characteristics in the literature is adult (Figure ane). During the process, how they influence the apply of capital budgeting practices is examined. This means that the organizational characteristics are classified according to the perception of the authors, past reading the selected articles, in relation to the use of capital budgeting practices, considering the horizon of the utilize of less sophisticated practices to use more sophisticated practices, left to the right. For instance, long-term incentives with higher effects are classified for the adoption of more than sophisticated practices and long-term incentives for less sophisticated practices.

Taxonomy is a synthesis that represents how the characteristics accept impact on decisions. Nonetheless, it is non exhaustive, but a general nomenclature of the practices listed in the articles selected. For this reason, many characteristics may not be included in the taxonomy and which bear on the use of uppercase budgeting practices.

It is defined that long-term incentives, technological advances, large projects, big companies, formal structure, remuneration based on performance, and the beingness of large work teams are characteristics that accept more effect on the use of more sophisticated practices. On the other mitt, short-term incentives, small projects, small firms, limited operational structure, and few work teams are considered impactful aspects in the adoption of less sophisticated practices.

The mechanisms of incentives that influence the managerial behavior may also touch the choice of theoretically appropriate tools of upper-case letter budgeting (BERNARDO; CAI; LUO, 2001; BERNARDO; CAI; LUO, 2003; ANDRÉS; FUENTE; MARTÍN, 2015). These incentive systems have important effects on the managers' beliefs, taking into account that organizational studies take shown that managers are influenced by the manner they are appraised and rewarded (MACCARRONE, 1996). The firms that rewarded their employees based on long-term incentive plans may experience more than benefits from sophisticated approaches than the firms that use short-term plans (HAKA; GORDON; PINCHES, 1985). A college remuneration based on performance entails more managerial efforts in maximizing the value of the firm. In fact, higher remuneration based on operation must be offered to managers of loftier-quality projects to induce them to deliver reliable reports.

According to Toit and Pienaar (2005), long-term profitability and business success lie in the management's ability to identify and select majuscule investments that volition increment the value of the organization and provide information technology with the necessary competitive advantage. This means that direction incentives may have positive furnishings (increment the house's value), but may too lead to inaccurate reports. For this reason, it is vital to command incentives appropriately to prevent managers from attempting to maximize preferably their values or delivering information inconsistent with reality. Managers react according to the benefits they are paid and, depending on how such incentives are administered, they may influence on projection choices and appraisals. It is necessary to study whether at that place is a difference in remuneration, whether it is based on the project's financial operation or whether it is based on cost, for example.

Empirical results prove that decisions fabricated by managers of capital letter budgeting are related with the firm' size (SCHALL; SUNDEM; GEIJSBEEK, 1978; PIKE, 1986; MILLS; 1988; GRAHAM; HARVEY, 2002; WNUKPEL, 2014; ANDRÉS; FUENTE; MARTÍN, 2015; TRESIERRA-TANAKA; VEGA-ACUÑA, 2019). The size of a firm has bear on on the frequency of apply of all practices. The larger the organization the higher the likelihood of using more sophisticated practices, compared with smaller firms (GRAHAM; HARVEY, 2002; BRIJLAL; QUESADA, 2009; WNUKPEL, 2014). Managers of minor companies operate in businesses having express operational structure, frequently controlled by owners, and, for this reason, they probable use simpler and easier practices. The same does not occur in larger companies, because they usually have formal structures, large work teams and cognition of the necessary procedures to manage budgets (SANDAHL; SJÖGREN, 2003; BRIJLAL; QUESADA, 2009). Furthermore, large companies brand high investments more often and, for this reason, information technology is expected that they analyze their capital expenditures very advisedly to ensure long-term profitability and growth.

This does not necessarily hateful that the size of a company straight determines the level of sophistication in decision. It is possible that other aspects relating to the size of the company atomic number 82 to the use of more sophisticated practices. For case, Expressway (1988) found that the apply of computer technology in capital budgeting was an explanatory variable of the sophistication levels. However, the size of a company is strongly associated with the employ of the referred technology (PIKE, 1996).

The availability of computer technology in this surface area and the computational skills of the stop user take been considered strongly influential in the utilization of more robust practices (Superhighway, 1988; PIKE, 1989; Motorway, 1996; RYAN; RYAN, 2002; HALL; MILLARD, 2010), specially in larger firms (MILLS, 1988). Firms that use sophisticated and control practices in capital budgeting must be potentially more efficient in the cess and control of investment projects than the ones that use methods with few mechanisms of control (PIKE, 1996). These computational tools provide benefits to the managers in that they facilitate and assist in the calculation and management of the best uppercase budgeting decisions. Notwithstanding, availability of information technology is not sufficient; the users need to know how to use the practices and analyze their results. Probably, the technological advances along with the manager'due south knowledge and skills have favored the use of computational and stochastic practices.

The size of the capital budget is also a significant factor in investment decisions (Thruway, 1988; RYAN; RYAN, 2002, WNUKPEL, 2014). For small projects, most of the managers simplify dramatically its discounted greenbacks flow analysis or use simpler methodologies (ROSS, 1986). Sophisticated techniques of discounted cash flows are used more than often by businesses that accept higher yearly uppercase budget, which crave more complex stochastic calculations. The size of the budget is often associated with the size of the firm, i.east., the largest ones ordinarily have higher capital budgets. The firm size has more influence on the managers decisions considering they involve aspects such as structure, available resources or capabilities, personnel, technology and annual budget.

The results showed that organizational characteristics influence the use of capital budgeting practices. In this sense, a company that has articulate definitions regarding the budgeting process volition have decisions made based more on sophisticated budgeting practices. On the other hand, the scarcity of guidelines opens the door to a greater use of traditional practices.

The restrictions concern barriers to the utilize of practices. It was not possible to attest that the beingness of restrictions affects the employ of more or less sophisticated techniques. This reinforces the importance of focusing on the biases and dispositions of the nearly powerful actors in organizations: superlative executives (HAMBRICK; MASON, 1984).

4.two INFLUENCE OF THE MANAGERIAL CHARACTERISTICS IN THE USE OF CAPITAL BUDGETING PRACTICES

Literature on finances has attempted to explain the difference between what is theoretically recommended and what is really used in the practice of upper-case letter budgeting (ANDRÉS; FUENTE; MARTIN, 2015). Professionals frequently tend not to consider the interrelationships betwixt the various stages of the process and sometimes have inadequate cognition on financial theory to make a decision. On the other hand, academicians take shown a strong trend to exist concerned with the phase of selection of investment projects simply without considering the process in its entirety (PINCHES, 1982).

Because that managers brand subjective judgements in upper-case letter budgeting decisions, it is implied that the managerial features affect choices for less or more sophisticated practices and, therefore, can explicate the theory-exercise gap. This means that the managerial characteristics are classified according to the perception of the authors, by reading the selected articles, in relation to the utilize of capital budgeting practices, considering the horizon of the employ of less sophisticated practices to use more sophisticated practices, left to the right. Thus, an exploratory taxonomy of the manager's characteristic is developed in the literature (Figure ii).

Figure 2

Studies suggest that the difference between theory and practice is primarily caused by a practitioner's deviation: managers fail to utilize the techniques that should be used in the analysis of investment projects (ANDRÉS; FUENTE; MARTÍN, 2015). It seems that decision makers are not familiar with or do not know the most advisable methods (GRAHAM; HARVEY, 2002; RYAN; RYAN, 2002; LAZARIDIS, 2004; BRIJLAL; QUESADA, 2009; HALL; MILLARD, 2010; KHAMEES; AL-FAYOUMI; AL-THUNEIBAT, 2010), as well having difficulties in measurement (PINCHES, 1982).

The lack of knowledge on more sophisticated practices makes managers go on applying the simplest and easy-to-calculate methods. The nearly robust practices are difficult to be measured and understood by managers and, therefore, they are afraid of using them. Furthermore, it should be investigated whether the lack of familiarity is theoretical or applied. Managers may accept the required education level to perform the function, just not necessarily they main or understand what the practices represent, and for this reason, they do non use them. To ensure the required knowledge managers should have such data and relate them with the use of the practices.

There are managers who know the well-nigh robust practices just would rather use the simplest and easiest methods to summate (SANDAHL; SJÖGREN, 2003; BRIJLAL; QUESADA, 2009; EGBIDE; AGBUDE; UWUIGBE, 2013; HALL; MUTSHUTSHU, 2013; ANDRÉS; FUENTE; MARTÍN, 2015) or use readily-available bookkeeping data and nowadays the analyses in percentages that can be easily attainable to users (RYAN; RYAN 2002; EGBIDE; AGBUDE; UWUIGBE, 2013). To prevent a project to be carried out mistakenly, it is vital to know how the director behaves when making decisions, which factors he takes into consideration and at which priority level. The firm could encourage the manager to adopt certain procedures and practices in an effort to diminish the subjective event and increase the impartial issue in decision-making.

Risk aversion can explain the managers' option of not abandoning the traditional practices and continuing to use them every bit a complement to the results obtained past the theoretically most acceptable ones (TOIT; PIENAAR, 2005; BRIJLAL; QUESADA, 2009; ANDRÉS; FUENTE; MARTÍN, 2015). Offset, this may happen considering no single appraisal is simple enough for managers to understand it (PIKE, 1983). Second, by accumulating diverse practices and results, managers might consider that the analysis is enriched and their responsibility diminished (ARNOLD; HATZOPOULOS, 2000). Finally, earlier approaches have numerous qualities that modern techniques seem to be unable to provide (ARNOLD; HATZOPOULOS, 2000). Risk aversion and fear of making a wrong decision discourage the abandonment of using simpler practices and encourage even more the aggregating of multiple ones. A consequence of such beliefs is that the tools considered theoretically inappropriate volition non exist replaced by the professionals, and this volition maintain or enlarge the distance between theory and practise.

The managers' profile is as well considered a feature that affects capital budgeting decisions, i.eastward., the formal instruction (State highway, 1996; GRAHAM; HARVEY, 2002; HALL; MILLARD, 2010), experience (PRUITT; GITMAN, 1987; ANDRÉS; FUENTE; MARTÍN, 2015) and task function (PIKE, 1988; KLAMMER, 1972). Highly qualified managers, both in terms of education and work experience are expected to make well-informed and prudent applications in capital letter budgeting practices (HALL; MILLARD, 2010).

Studies signal that professionals with higher instruction volition probable utilise discounted greenbacks period techniques in opposition to those who have basic teaching (LEON; ISA; KESTER, 2008). Managers with a Master in Business Assistants (MBA) or a master's degree in finances will probably utilize more sophisticated techniques, compared to those who practice not have a degree (GRAHAM; HARVEY, 2002; ANDRÉS; FUENTE; MARTÍN, 2015). This is because various kinds of investment appraisals are more than commonly taught in finances programs and MBA.

By reading 7 papers that analyse the respondents, the profile of the fiscal manager may exist observed. The person is commonly over 30 years quondam, an accountant, has an MBA or post-graduate degree and has occupied their current position for over v years (for example, Hall and Millard (2010) and Nurullah and Kengatharan(2015)).

It was expected that the nigh experienced ones and those with a university degree used formal and more sophisticated practices to analyse capital letter budgeting, just this was non seen (LEON; ISA; KESTER, 2008; HALL; MUTSHUTSHU, 2013). According to the enquiry conducted by Andres, Fuente e Martin (2015), the employ of unproblematic practices is explained by the fact that the managers progressively accumulate a higher number of practices over time, rather than avoiding and abandoning simple practices and using only sophisticated practices. On the other hand, it may bespeak the demand for managers to search for other means to learn advanced methodologies to exist used, in addition to the ones they learned at their university. Some courses include little or no approach virtually sophisticated capital budgeting practices.

Capital budgeting estimates can be affected by managers' lack of work experience (PRUITT; GITMAN, 1987). Managers with more years of feel in the arrangement will probable use more than sophisticated practices (ANDRÉS; FUENTE; MARTIN, 2015). On the other mitt, older managers would rather use simpler techniques, such as the payback period (GRAHAM; HARVEY, 2002). It has been observed that younger managers, with feel in uppercase budgeting, tend to use more sophisticated practices compared to senior managers.

This approach allows for the observation that managers have physical and psychological characteristics that influence their perspectives and analysis in decision-making. These characteristics involves schooling, technical knowledge, experience, age, gender, and more and may be practical to uppercase budgeting. However, only vi studies (for example, Batra and Verma (2014) and Vecino, Rojas and Munoz (2015)) evaluated the relationship between the attributes of the managing director and controlling in investments, but it did non really verify the implications of characteristics in choosing simpler or more sophisticated practices.

The values, experiences, and personalities of managers intervene with the organization'south strategic choices and the success of these choices (HAMRRICK; MASON, 1984). Characteristics such equally age, gender, instruction and functional feel are indicative of the underlying cognitive and affective management aspects that determine the decisions of management teams, which subsequently affect organizational operation (Bong et al., 2011).

Capital budgeting can exist considered an expertise in business functions, simply can besides exist performed by different kinds of professionals (such every bit fiscal or treasury professionals) (Expressway, 1988; KLAMMER, 1972). Information technology means that an investment appraisal can be assigned to each managing director and does not require a managerial expertise in upper-case letter budgeting. This may touch on the bottom line because professionals who do non have the specialized consignment of assessing investment proposals will non have a sound knowledge on the techniques and procedures to be employed.

4.iii SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPROVEMENTS IN Upper-case letter BUDGETING DECISIONS

Afterward the synthesis of relationships betwixt the organizational and managerial characteristics in the apply of upper-case letter budgeting practices, Perspective ii presents suggestions for improvements in decisions based on the difficulties indicated by the literature.

It is expected that researchers consider the difficulties and obstacles that firms face when they evaluate decision making in this expanse. It is also expected that the suggestions will be observed by professionals to ensure an advancement in investment decisions.

Fiscal managers consider the financial analysis and cash flow estimation the most difficult stages of the process of deciding on investments (GITMAN; FORRESTER, 1977; BRIJLAL; QUESADA 2008; HALL; MILLARD, 2010; BATRA; VERMA, 2014), considering of the problems they have in ensuring sufficiently profitable investments (State highway, 1983). Thus, they exercise not feel comfortable in using discounted greenbacks flow techniques, run a risk assay and are surprised with the existence of multiple approaches for investment appraisal (BATRA; VERMA, 2014).

This difficulty is non surprising considering cash flows specification involves numerous forecasts and decisions (GITMAN; FORRESTER, 1977). Approaches that are more than sophisticated are particularly more difficult to estimate, but there are spreadsheets and fiscal planning models that tin can be used to produce cash flow forecasts, gear up recovery times and calculate internal rates of return (MILLS, 1988).

In fact, this tin can reinforce the assumption that managers practise not have knowledge and training in budgeting (HALL; MILLARD, 2010). Really, in that location is a statistically significant difference between the diverse levels of education of the fiscal manager and the level of difficulty (BATRA; VERMA, 2014). In other words, it ways that education affects the perception of difficulty, and the college the education level more cognition and less difficulty be.

In this regard, professionals involved in capital budgeting should attend training courses in finances to improve their skills in decision-making (LAZARIDIS, 2004; KHAMEES; AL-FAYOUMI; AL-THUNEIBAT, 2010). Suggestion is that firms provide abiding and specific preparation for managers and analysts in guild to ensure that robust procedures of capital letter budgeting, in full general, and discounted cash menstruation techniques, in detail, be employed. Bennouna, Meredith and Marchant (2010) indicate the areas that should exist emphasized during grooming and considered in decision making: real options analysis; provision of a policy manual; dedicated staff; supportive uppercase budgeting information systems; software products to make the required analysis easier; postal service-investment audits and review for compliance.

The use of a global capital budgeting process equally an integrated organizational civilisation is an indication of improvement (KHAMEES; AL-FAYOUMI; AL-THUNEIBAT, 2010). The business culture should encourage fiscal directors to continue themselves updated and emphasize that investments appraisal is a key element in the curriculum of financial managers (PIKE, 1996). There is besides the possibility of creating within the company a follow-the-leader consequence in managers to encourage them to use methods that are more than sophisticated in controlling (KLAMMER; WALKER, 1984). There are research opportunities nearly how the organizational culture tin can influence in the utilise of capital budgeting practices and if is there any indication for low or loftier composure in investment analyses.

Another fact is that capital budgeting direction is not always considered a function of specialists past the firms, being performed by the about diverse areas and professionals (KLAMMER, 1972; PIKE, 1988). It means that investments are assigned to each manager and a singled-out function is not required. Still, this affects the results constitute in the articles, because people who practice not take the specialized assignment of conducting investment proposals appraisals are not likely acquainted with the techniques and procedures to be employed. Perchance the most acceptable alternative would exist to verify how the conclusion process is conducted. It is necessary research if a team or a director make decision and if is the person who performs the appraisal the same 1 who makes decision. It seems that decisions are made by top management teams (eastward.m., board of directors), each one with specific assignments in the appraisal, and not past a single and exclusive professional (e.g., the controller). For this reason, it is suggested to compose a qualified, total-fourth dimension team, which will take more time, opportunity, skill and interest in maintaining a long-term capital budgeting.

1 of the reasons for non making sophisticated decisions is the lack of people, time and experience to handle capital expenditures (KHAMEES; AL-FAYOUMI; ALTHUNEIBAT, 2010). For this reason, improvements in constant training of professionals, in considering capital budgeting as function of the organizational culture and past a skilled team, both in an integrated fashion, may produce improved capital investment decisions. Based on the taxonomies of the 2 perspectives and the critical assay, suggestions for further enquiry are indicated. In the adjacent section, the research agenda is presented, with issues and indications for in-depth studies on the theme.

5 Conclusion AND RESEARCH AGENDA

Since the 1960s, there have been evidences of a theory-exercise gap in capital budgeting. Business organization managers have not used the most sophisticated practices suggested past academicians. Studies carried out in the 2000s show that the gap persists.

Despite the importance of the decision making of capital investments, it is curious to recall that investment proposals are assessed in a style that is opposite to theory, with chances of risks to the organizations. More than that, in that location is no explanation for the fact in the literature, who and which factors influence the use of less or more sophisticated practices.

It was observed the need for an integrative review, which immune a new approach most the utilize of capital budgeting practices, i.due east., examining the relationship between the organizational and managerial characteristics with the use of the practices. Based on what previous studies described, it was observed that in that location are organizational and managerial relationships and explanations that touch the adoption of less or more sophisticated practices.

It was found that the theory-do gap is related both with the organizational and managerial characteristics from the practical betoken of view, but also requires a review past researchers. The business' structure has influence in terms of its size, capabilities, personnel, technology and the director pick. Organizations should seek professionals with feel in capital projects analysis, who are familiar with and knowledgeable in the use of more adequate practices to brand decisions. On the other paw, researchers should have information bachelor to validate the relationships that are proposed, in one case the gap may be in theory, non in do.

While inquiry shows, for example, that younger CFOs and senior managers with business feel are associated with more innovative and / or sophisticated accounting and control systems, a range of promising opportunities for time to come research remains open (HIEBL, 2014). Is it possible that managers and organizations deny the apply of the about sophisticated practices, that such practices are just not suitable for all contexts, or that it is inquiry that fails to portray them?

Valuable contributions can be made, addressing the effect of additional accounting and management command systems, in add-on to college-level characteristics and investigation of variables moderators of the Higher Level Theory.

For Tacheva (2007), although research on the effects of managers' characteristics on business results is arable, questions about whether their demographic constructs have positive or negative effects on corporate performance are notwithstanding open up.

Thus, the realization of this inquiry, in addition to contributing to the development of the proposed theme, increases the agreement of the relationship betwixt the characteristics of top management and the way they use the bookkeeping and management control systems.

The search can also result in relevant suggestions for the professionals responsible for appointing suitable candidates for direction positions. If it is possible to decide the desirable characteristics for a top manager, in the same fashion it will exist possible use them for strategic people direction, such as recruitment and training.

It is understood that there are both managerial characteristics that affect and explain the adoption of capital budgeting practices. Each of them has different impacts and tin clarify the reasons why the gap between theory and do in this topic remains, in improver to highlighting which aspects need comeback and investigation.

This study suggests that firms should provide continuous and specific preparation for managers and analysts to ensure that robust procedures of uppercase budgeting in full general and discounted cash period techniques in particular are employed. One of the reasons for not making sophisticated decisions is the lack of people, time and experience to handle capital expenditures. For this reason, improvements in constant training of engineering professionals (in because capital letter budgeting as a part of the organizational culture and by a skilled team, both in an integrated manner) may produce improved capital letter investment decisions.

An explanation for the depression use of sophisticated practices, as reported on empirical surveys, may be that upper-case letter budget decisions are fabricated by a team and non past a single person, who had responded the questionnaire or the interview. In this regard, it is important to examine how the decision-making process regarding capital budgeting is conducted. Who are the conclusion makers? Are the persons who analyze the projects the ones who also brand decisions? How tasks are assigned?

In summary, it is necessary to study in depth on how the managerial characteristics may affect the managers' selection, how firms brand majuscule investments decisions and which is the impact of using more than or less sophisticated practices on the business performance.
