Research background: Risk-taking is the basis for sustainable development of enterprise. It was clear that the influence COVID-19 epidemic on the global market economy has increased operational risks for businesses. The semiconductor industry has high operating risks and financial risks. Moderate financial flexibility (FF) can improve the ability of semiconductor enterprises to acquire financial resources in real time, calmly cope with the impact of uncertainties in operation, improve investment opportunities, and enhance sustainable operation. It is therefore interesting to study the influence of FF on enterprise risk-taking (ERT). Purpose of the article: The aim of the contribution is to explore the effect of FF on ERT within Taiwan's semiconductor industry amid the COVID-19 pandemic period, and investigate whether ERT varies with semiconductor industry characteristic. Methods: Data from first three quarters of 2020, from multinational semiconductor firms listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TSE), were collected and analyzed. Fixed effects regression with heteroscedasticity adjustment used to evaluate the influence of FF on the ERT of Taiwan's semiconductor industry. Furthermore, in order to corroborate and support the reliability of the results, this research also used the different measures of ERT and Quantile regression (median regression) in the research model to check the robustness. Findings & value added: Empirical results indicate that FF has a U-shaped effect on ERT for multinational semiconductor firms listed on the TSE, particularly within the integrated circuits (IC) manufacturing industry. Additionally, FF also has a U-shaped effect on ERT for the asset-light semiconductor and IC manufacturing industries. This article also suggests that for the asset-light semiconductor and IC manufacturing industries, the optimal inflection points are 1.1397 and 0.9729, respectively. Based on the consequences of this study, it is suggested that Taiwan?s semiconductor industry should reasonably maintain FF and focus on the liquidity risk management for the long term value added, even after the COVID-19 pandemic period.

The article presents research findings on capital structure and financial risk changes in Polish companies during the global economic crisis of 2007–2008. Authors evaluated financial data for 4188 companies, both listed and unlisted within particular sectors. The whole population of companies was split into two parts based on the average value of the debt ratio calculated for pre-crisis years (2005–2007). The first group was composed of companies with average debt ratio below industry norm expressed in sector mean value of the debt ratio. These companies were assumed to have reserve debt capacity. The second group consisted of companies with average debt ratio above industry norm expressed in sector mean value of the debt ratio. These companies were assumed to have not reserve debt capacity.

W opracowaniu zaprezentowano wyniki badań, których celem była ocena zmian w strukturze finansowania i ryzyka finansowego polskich przedsiębiorstw w okresie globalnego kryzysu finansowego lat 2007–2008. Autorzy przeanalizowali dane 4188 przedsiębiorstw zarówno publicznych, jak i niepublicznych, uporządkowanych sektorowo, które na bazie średniej wartości wskaźnika ogólnego zadłużenia w latach przedkryzysowych z perspektywy zmian w polskiej gospodarce (2005–2007) zostały podzielone na dwie grupy – przedsiębiorstwa posiadające rezerwę pojemności zadłużeniowej (których średnia wartość wskaźnika zadłużenia kształtowała się poniżej mediany branżowej) i przedsiębiorstwa takiej rezerwy nie posiadające (których średnia wartość wskaźnika zadłużenia kształtowała się powyżej mediany branżowej).
