PANEL SYMPOSIUM OVERVIEW
Publicly listed companies in the US have faced increasing pressure from equity markets over the last few decades. Pressures in various forms involving different types of investors influence the existing and future strategies of public firms. The panelists in the symposium aim to engage the audience in an in-depth and productive discussion of the challenges and opportunities in this research and creative ways to pursue new research frontiers in this area. The panelists have published research on the type of pressures that publicly listed firms face, how equity markets shape strategy, and how firms proactively influence shareholder and market perceptions. Each panelist will offer a unique perspective on how their work informs this body of research but also differs in some respects.
