Abstract:
|
This research aims to understand how small companies implement investor relations on their Web sites. Based on the relationship maintenance strategies of access, positivity, openness, assurances, networking, and sharing of tasks, the investor relations links of 2005 Forbes 200 Best Small Companies’ Web sites were content analyzed. Corporate Web sites were largely financial publics-friendly, and no difference was found between the corporate ranking and the number of Web sites clearly labeling the investor relations link. Openness was the most prevalent relationship maintenance strategy, while positivity was the least preferred. Relationship maintenance strategies that small companies employed on their investor relations link seem to be related to their financial performance. This research contributes to enlarging the research scope to several types of publics in public relations scholarship, as well as helps investor relations practitioners develop strategies in the investor relations areas of corporate Web sites for maintaining relationships with their financial publics. |
