A practical guide to proactive investor relations (IR) Investor relations (IR) has traditionally been an administrative function within corporate communications, responsible for disseminating public information and answering investor and media questions. Using Investor Relations to Maximize Equity Valuation challenges this approach, by arguing that IR has been underutilized and then illustrating how it should be elevated to lead a strategic communications effort to preserve or enhance corporate value and lower a company's cost of capital. Divided into four comprehensive parts, this book clearly describes capital markets strategies and tactical operations that these former, senior-level equity analysts and portfolio managers employ. Chad A. Jacobs (Westport, CT) and Thomas M. Ryan (Westport, CT) are the cofounders and co-CEOs of Integrated Corporate Relations.

Investor relations is a subject which has been seriously taken into consideration by many companies and is an important matter nowadays. Considering that the company’s survival depends on capital, managing investors the right way is management’s obligation to the company, and it’s stakeholders, in order to keep the business in continuous growth and profitability. Public relations, on the other hand, is a subject of people. Consider that people and their relationships build businesses, this research will examine the in-depth correlation between public relations and investor relations. Managing people and communicating with them is the big picture of the company’s activities, but what kind of layers are behind those activities is what this research tries to uncover. Additionally, this research has a new approach towards media relations as media can be used as a channel to connect to people and spread information. Media is also an activity which falls under public relations. Media has a strong influence over people, and media can be used not just to create but also to manipulate and destroy. The goal of this research is to provide in-depth information about how public relations and media can be used to manage and influence global audiences, including consumers and clients, and most importantly, investors. What happens when companies manipulate the public, what happens when companies tell the truth, how the stock market and investors react to the news, what companies can do to create a powerful brand quickly and how external factors influence investors’ decisions. Many examples and scenarios are covered in this research to understand the power of public relations and media, and the influence that these two hold towards investors and the global economy. Literature review methodology was applied to this research, including various literature review types. Also, an additional qualitative method was also used in this research by conducting several interviews and taking comments from industry experts. This research is meant for business executives and marketing professionals to understand and learn about new possibilities when it comes to building a brand and gaining a certain level of power over audiences and global markets.

Financial disclosure has become a crucial component of corporate communication. Through this process, companies aim to provide information and project an image of trustworthiness in response to on-going ethical concerns in the world of finance. Rhetoric in financial discourse provides new insights into how companies communicate with key stakeholders, not only to boost transparency, but also to attract investment. The book offers an in-depth linguistic analysis of the rhetorical dimension of financial communication. It focuses on two technology-mediated genres which are widely used, yet remain largely unexplored from a rhetorical perspective: earnings presentations and earnings releases. Using an innovative methodological approach, the book shows how corporate speakers and writers use distinctive rhetorical strategies to achieve their professional goals. It includes a practical discussion of how the findings can be exploited to develop state-of-the-art corporate communication courses and to improve the effectiveness of financial disclosure in professional settings. The book contributes to an enhanced understanding of the language of finance, representing a discourse community that involves and impacts the lives of many people around the world. It will be of interest to several communities of practice, including language researchers, discourse analysts, corpus linguists, finance and communication academics, students of business and finance, and professionals of financial communication. Belinda Crawford Camiciottoli is Associate Professor of English Language and Linguistics at the University of Pisa. Her research focuses on business discourse in both academic and corporate settings.
