Westbrook Ian: Strategic Financial and
Investor Communication

Strategic Financial and Investor Communication

The Stock Price Story

1. Applying Theory from Communication 2. Applying Theory from Management and Markets 3. Storytelling and Application to Corporate Communication 4. Linking Communication with Strategy, Story and Stock Price 5. Investment Perspectives on the Corporate Story 6. Numbers and the Corporate Story 7. Disclosure and Communication Content 8. The Financial Market Place 9. Communicating with the Investment Community 10. Communicating with the Business Media 11. Communicating with Shareholders 12. Transactions and Issues – M&amp;A, IPO &amp; Crisis 13. Role and Responsibilities of a Chief Communications Officer 14. Connecting Theory, Practice and the Corporate StoryChapter 1: Applying theory from communication Theory underlying financial and investor communication is not a common topic for practitioners, and yet there are many influences that can be discerned, ranging from the Ancient Greek idea of rhetoric to post-modern public relations theory. Important ideas along the way that connect with financial and investor communication are persuasion through reasoned argument, symmetric communication, the way stakeholder needs influence communication, relationships, the value of context in in enhancing understanding of corporate information and how messages are received. More recent developments of theory have explored the way in which language is a tool in competing for capital, a direct connection with investor relations.Chapter 2: Applying theory from management and markets A connection between communication and stock price can trace its beginnings to establishment of the world’s first stock exchange, in Amsterdam in 1602. Since then, there has been a gradual transfer of power from owners - the shareholders - to managers, with this paralleling a stakeholder relationship from a communications perspective. With early 20th century economist, Josef Schumpeter, having identified the economic importance of financial markets in channelling capital to entrepreneurs, there is a current era connection with investor relations which adopts competing for capital as a primary objective. Since stock price is a critical factor in this competition, it is important to appreciate two competing views around how information affects prices – the efficient markets hypothesis and behavioural finance. Another focus of investor relations is communicating corporate strategy, establishing a connection with Michael Porter’s five competitive forces which define strategy. While the concept of shareholder value has influenced communication in recent history, so too has modern portfolio theory, in describing decision making in investment markets. Each of these developments provides pointers to the content of financial and investor communication.Chapter 3: Storytelling and Application to Corporate Communication From a corporate communication perspective, narrative is a way of "interpreting the past, coping with the present and shaping the future." The effectiveness of storytelling depends on the rapport between teller and listener and storytelling can also evoke action, with parallels between how a corporation’s CEO communicates and the way this can influence stakeholders and investors. A corporate story comprising narrative, facts and numbers is not a fixed notion since, in the process of "financialization", a significant variation in the numbers can enforce a change in narrative when performance does not meet promise. There is inevitably a link between the components of story and how companies negotiate business challenges in the market place.Chapter 4: Linking Communication with Strategy, Story and Stock Price As management strategy has evolved from a focus on doing things right to doing the right thing, there has been a parallel realisation that corporate communication has a role in both strategic thinking and strategy implementation. This connects with the content of financial and investor communication being focused on explaining corporate strategy as well as being integrated with factors like corporate credibility, trust and reputation. There is a body of academic research which shows that communication around each of these notions has a connection with stock price. This in turn leads to a broad definition of investor relations as combining finance, communication, marketing and compliance with the law, in a process of relationship building which ultimately contributes to a company’s securities achieving a fair valuation.Chapter 5: Investment Perspectives on the Corporate Story An early text on security analysis argues that stock price is a legitimate concern of management. This led to establishment of the corporate function of investor relations which has evolved from an initial focus on media coverage, then swinging towards a financial focus and, in the current era, a convergence to communication. Among the influences in developing a financial and investor communications strategy are elements of marketing, although with a differing orientation to selling given the nature of stakeholders, and persuasion, contrary to Grunig’s model of corporate communication. Other influences are converting information around a company into communication, establishing "customer relationships" with the investment community and shaping corporate information to the needs of key stakeholders in developing a corporate story.Chapter 6: Numbers and the Corporate Story Since a lot of the content of financial and investor communication is about a company’s financial performance, it is important to have an understanding of the numbers that are used in conveying the corporate story. This chapter is intended to simplify this financial understanding, reducing a mass of information in accounting and applied finance to just five numbers and one principle, the time value of money. From this, readers will gain an understanding of a company’s three main financial statements, intrinsic value per share and an appreciation of a primary objective of investor relations, which is to reduce the cost of capital. The emphasis is on the communications aspects of financial information.Chapter 7: Disclosure and Communication Content The close connection between information and stock prices has led to an increasing amount of regulation around how companies communicate, in the interests of reducing market manipulation. Since there is a tension between the market wanting as much information as possible and companies preferring to manage this process, especially regarding future performance, companies have policies governing the disclosure of business and financial information. Trends in disclosure are a recognition that there are value drivers and intangibles beyond what appears in company financial statements, requiring companies to make this information available if investors are to gain a full understanding. Increasingly, regulators want companies to go beyond restating the obvious and to give reasons why certain events have taken place and how the business model works.Chapter 8: The Financial Market Place Appreciating the relevance of disclosure is helped by understanding how the stock market works and its key players, the sell side and the buy side. While extensive analysis is an important part of investment decision making, so too are dealing room conversations based on corporate stories that highlight industry positioning. An influence on communication with the investment community is appreciating differing investment styles, since this explains how investors focus on certain types of companies and the holding period of their investment. Institutional ownership of listed companies of 70-80 per cent makes them a key stakeholder in financial and investor communication, with programs shaped to meet their information needs in contrast to differing ways of relating to retail investors. Chapter 9: Communicating with the Investment Community Institutional investors and the investment community are the primary stakeholders for financial and investor communication. Research findings around communication to this stakeholder group highlight the importance of language, the influence of image restoration, the ramifications from how CEOs tell corporate stories and the overall influence of narrative. A key event for companies is announcing profit results, triggering specific communications strategies, along with other events during the year in which companies engage with existing and potential investors. Clichés of the stock market also have an effect on how listed companies communicate with the investment community, while the corporate story provides a template for encapsulating news flow and performance in comparison with expectations.Chapter 10: Communicating with the Business Media Successful communication with the business and financial media begins with an understanding of how this section of the media views listed companies and reports on them. Public relations sources have a significant influence on media reporting and similarly, media coverage has an influence on stock price, both positively and negatively. Successful communication with the media involves understanding writing style, what makes news and the value for journalists in having a relationship with companies. For company CEOs, there are risks in dealing with the media, with the corporate story being a guide to meeting journalists and managing good news and bad. Social media is becoming increasingly used in investor relations.Chapter 11: Communicating with Shareholders Shareholders, who are the owners of a listed company, are a diverse group, across institutions, individuals and employees. They also have differing motives, expectations and demands. While these differences need to be taken into account, the corporate story provides a unifying purpose for communication with shareholders. Company websites have sections devoted to this communication and the annual report is also a central document. Dealing with activist shareholders has become an increasingly important focus for communication, with activists using shareholder meetings to agitate for an influence on executive remuneration, board composition and company direction. Determining the interests of shareholders is also a factor in dealing with short sellers.Chapter 12: Transactions and Issues – M&amp;A, IPO &amp; Crisis Transactions relevant to financial and investor communication are mergers and acquisitions (M&amp;A) and a first capital raising and listing on the stock exchange (IPO). Crisis for a listed company also has an added dimension related to dealing with the consequences of disclosure and how the stock market reacts. Statistics show that, while the majority of M&amp;A transactions do not add value, a common ingredient in successful transactions is an effective communications program, across preparation, implementation and integration. Similarly with IPOs, a clearly articulated story has a positive effect on returns. The negative effects of crisis can be prolonged but swift implementation of a public relations plan speeds recovery. A survey of investor relations practitioners showed that their top priority in crisis is company reputation. Across all these events, it is the values contained within the corporate story that can guide communications campaigns.Chapter 13: Role and Responsibilities of a Chief Communications Officer or IRO A common responsibility among those in charge of listed company communication is that they are custodians of the corporate story. They are the explainers of what a company does and how it is performing financially in implementing its strategy. The role is pivotal in connecting a company with its marketplace and stakeholders. It is partly weather vane, in reporting within the corporation about the direction of winds from the market and stakeholders, and partly a producer of the information that can influence wind direction in terms of investment views about the company. The main sensitivity is mastering an understanding of the strict boundaries of disclosure. This means knowing what can be said and not said in conversations around announcements and company progress. While the majority of the focus is on aligning disclosure with communication to primary stakeholders, the role also encompasses taking the corporate story to potential investors. Chapter 14, Connecting Theory, Practice and the Corporate Story In his review of UK equity markets in 2012, Professor John Kay diagnosed the problem of short termism, with this caused by an exaggerated faith in the efficient markets hypothesis and undue reliance on information disclosure, much of which has little value, in response to divergences in knowledge. Disclosure has become information overload and the solution he proposes is succinct narrative reporting. This highlights the value of a crossover between theory, from communication and applied finance, and practice in investor relations. The chapter covers six aspects of this crossover – the narrative paradigm, rhetoric and persuasion, reconciling disclosure with communication, media and stock price, relationships and language as a tool in the competition for capital. This establishes a framework for the more effective practice of financial and investor communication, providing evidence for the proposition that share price is more of a story than a number.

The Law of Financial Crime

Following the events of 9\11 individual countries and the international community became increasingly concerned about how best to prevent the funding of terrorist groups. Alternative remittance systems such as Hawala, where money is moved informally between a network of brokers in the Middle East, north Africa and south Asia have been identified as a potential source of terrorist financing leading to calls for greater regulation of such alternative remittance systems.This book analyses the risk such alternative remittance systems pose in terms of terrorist financing, offering a detailed overview of the historical origins and methods of operation of alternative remittance systems or informal value transfer systems. The factors that have come to ensure that these systems have remained operationally viable in modern times are identified along with the risks they present balanced against an overview of their actual misuse for illicit purposes to date. The book presents a detailed critique of the UK framework for the regulation of these systems drawing where possible on existing data to assess the use and effectiveness of these measures in practice. A range of options for mitigating risks associated with specific remittance corridors is considered ranging from initiatives that promote remittances through the banking sector, to efforts to mitigate risk and the impact on the delivery of UK overseas development aid. The book concludes with key recommendations as to the effectiveness of the current regulatory framework within the UK viewed from the perspective of international efforts to secure the regulation of these systems, and in stemming terrorist finance as part of national and international counter-terrorism policy.

To paraphrase Sir Winston Churchill, never has so much pornography been available to so many people for so little. This is the story of how the online adult industry has plummeted from its lofty heights of the late 1990s, when a savvy Web entrepreneur could charge premium prices to thousands of eager subscribers. It is also the story of how the law has completely failed to keep pace with the technological innovations that boosted and then savaged the online adult industry. It concludes by analysing the social impact of virtually unlimited pornography of every description, available to all ages at the click of a button. Useful reading for the general reader and for students and researchers involved with business strategy, the history of technology, cultural studies, sexuality, media studies and technology more generally.

Evolutionary Economics and Social Complexity Science

This is the first book to present a new approach of institutional design as an evolutionary applied policy based on coherent conceptualization and methodology, and to study the actuality and implications of diversifying real/virtual community currencies. In contrast to a de facto standard theory, an institutional ecosystem can be composed of various institutions that continue to coexist with changing relative frequencies. In this view, diversified monetary institutions with local rules are feasible and realistic. Community currencies are worldwide attempts to redress such problems as financial instability, chronic stagnation, and decline of communities caused by globalization of the economy. Considering those alternative movements as a new type of policy, "evolutionist institutional design", this book clarifies the feasibility and significance of community currencies in the current era of globalization. The book also provides a better understanding than mainstream approaches of such platform institutions as money that determine fundamental means of cognition and action of interacting agents. Money is a symbolically generalized communication medium in the mesodomain that mediates between socioeconomic performance and patterns in the macrodomain and motives and cognitive frameworks in the microdomain. Conventional national systems of money and finance are platform institutions that determine basic replicators for a capitalistic market economy to evolve. In contrast, community currencies conveying both economic and social/cultural values are distinct platform institutions that are expected to endogenously change such basic replicators in outer and inner institutions for agents to a noncapitalistic market economy. These currencies are considered target institutions for "media design" in the framework of evolutionist institutional design.

Are We There Yet?

The Bloomsbury Handbook of Entrepreneurial Marketing

Two of the world's leading researchers on behavior and decision-making join forces to equip readers with the knowledge, tools, and techniques to live our best, most human lives in an age of machines. “The real problem of humanity is the following: We have Paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions and godlike technology. And it is terrifically dangerous.” —E.O WilsonOur choices and experience of the world are increasingly shaped by powerful interests and godlike technology. Somebody else is deciding what ‘good’ choices look like—and often that means good for them, not for you. From the social media apps hijacking your attention and algorithms quietly curating your reality, to the markets profiting from confusion and AI systems slowly eroding your thinking: your choices are shaped by people who understand your psychology better than you do, and use that knowledge for their own ends. Against this backdrop, it is easy to feel diminished and 'done to'.This book is about fighting back—individually and collectively—and becoming the best of ourselves. Becoming super-humans. Drawing on over 1,000 experiments run across more than 70 countries, Halpern and Costa show how you can boost your own agency and decision-making, how we can upgrade our systems and institutions so that it is easier for everyone to choose well, and how we can shape AI so that it amplifies human capability rather than replacing it.Super-Human ultimately asks us to make the biggest choice of all: in an age when machines can think, decide and even feel on our behalf—what kind of humans do we want to be? <ul><li>Human. Reclaiming agency and becoming a better decision-maker (Chapters 1-3). Understanding how human attention and sense-making works, so that we can self-guide, rather than be hacked by others - and more effectively turn our intentions into action.</li><li>Supra-human. Building systems that support us to choose well together. (Chapters 4-7). Humans are social creatures, who think aloud and together. It's a feature not a fault. Social networks, markets and institutions strongly enable us to achieve things we could never do alone, but also operate as ‘supra-human’ influences on our behavior. Yet individually and collectively we have power to channel and shape them too - more power than we realize</li><li>Super-human. Shaping the technology that will shape us. (Chapter 8) AI could be the ultimate ‘bicycle of the mind’, but it can also become a crutch rather than a coach. It poses opportunity and challenge - to boost our capabilities to superhuman levels, or to become our inadvertent master.</li><li>Future-human. What kind of humans do we ultimately want to be? (Conclusion) Our minds today have been shaped by the technologies and institutions of our ancestors, in ways they could not have anticipated. We can make choices that will alter our minds and those that follow: what shall we choose?</li></ul>

Reclaiming Our Power to Choose and Shape the Future

Da es DIE Wirtschaftspsychologie noch nicht gibt bzw. nur Teilbereiche sehr intensiv, aber aussschließlich aus der Rationalitätsperspektive abgedeckt werden, verfolgt der Autor einen sehr interdisziplinären Ansatz, um den Erkenntnishorizont der BWL zu erweitern. Das Lehrbuch ermöglicht die Sensibilität und das Verstehen in die sozialpsychologischen Phänomene eines Wirtschaftsbetriebs. Auch neue Verbindungen werden systematisch erfasst (Psychoanalyse und BWL, Hirnforschung und BWL, Energie und BWL). Jedes Kapitel enthält praktische Beispiele, Fragestellungen, Aufgaben und Literaturempfehlungen.
