Dalla seconda/terza di copertina

New laws and regulations, engendered by the scandals of the early part of the twenty-first century, are dramatically changing corporate governance, as well as the relationships between the corporate boards affected and their investors. Evolving and sophisticated technologies have opened innovative avenues of communications between investors and those who advise them. Financial institutions serving corporations and investors must now function with updated configurations and newly revised regulatory strictures that have helped to reorganize rules of the capital markets for the better. The demands that corporations and the financial community are faced with today call for a fresh look using the improved skills and transformed traditional investor relations techniques needed to better compete in today's volatile and competitive capital markets.

In Competing for Capital, using a marketing-driven approach to investor relations in the twenty-first century, author Bruce Marcus addresses this new environment by providing readers with the information and insights they need to:

• Competitively project, to both investors and their advisors, the significant advantages of investing in a company in today's economic environment
• Realistically function in the realm of this century's laws and changing regulatory controls
• Effectively use updated techniques and trends in continuing to communicate effectively with investors and the financial community
• Understand the complicated new dynamics of today's competitive capital markets

Since Competing for Capital was first published in 1975, there is virtually no area of investor relations that hasn't changed, and the competition for investment capital has become keener. Currently, competition for an investor's dollar has become so acute, and the regulations so different, that it requires an entirely fresh view of long-standing investor relations practice. This book addresses the updates in recently passed laws and regulations, including Sarbanes-Oxley, and delineates the significant changes that have occurred over the past years within both corporations and the financial community in respect to investors and contemporary investor relations practices.

From new configurations of financial institutions and companies to the changing attitudes of, and toward, investors, Competing for Capital offers readers a contemporary view of the dynamic and vital world of investor relations, essential to better informing investors and to help corporations to better compete in the capital markets.
