“Corporate short-termism” – the penchant of markets, investors and the media to score corporations strictly by their quarterly earnings reports – keeps publicly traded companies from creating sustainable long-term value. Minority-owner hedge funds loudly press for stock price boosts, while majority-owner institutional investors remain largely silent, failing to exercise their ample ownership clout. Finance executive Robert C. Pozen offers ideas on how to battle corporate short-termism in this instructive article on a topic that receives much less coverage than it deserves. getAbstact recommends it to anyone concerned about the impacts of short-term corporate decision making.
