"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."--BOOK JACKET.
