Whose voice is on the call?

Abstract

Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings Only about a fifth to a third of what investors hear on an earnings call belongs to the CEO personally, the rest is firm routine and industry norm, and the CEO’s share rises sharply in exactly the quarters that matter most. Originality/value The briefing saves busy executives, strategists and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
