Laskin, Alexander. “Non-Financial Information in Investor Communications.” International Journal of Business Communicaition, April 2014.

From the author’s abstract: “This study conducts an empirical investigation of financial and nonfinancial information in investor relations communications… [It] concludes that, overall, investor relations officers satisfy the informational needs of investors with one notable exception: although information about management is rated as one of the most important by investors, investor relations officers fail to share this information and fail to see its importance. At the same time, information about corporate social responsibility is rated as the least important by both investors and investor relations officers, and, as a result, this information rarely enters investor communications.”
