Journal of Business Communication, 2007

The growth of individuals investing in the stock of publicly traded companies in the late 1990s coin- cided with the development of new media outlets for equivocal financial data. Discussion board par- ticipants enact an assortment of messages, experience a number of texts simultaneously and therefore are always immersed within a multiplicity of discourses. One such cyberspace was examined to inves- tigate participants’ sensemaking related to their financial holdings. Through the use of Weick’s double interact, discussion board participants make sense of and organize equivocal messages. For business communication practitioners, these sensemaking processes call for the creation of dialogic texts that engage readers on multiple levels. Limitations and future possibilities for research are surveyed.

Journal of Financial Economics, 1993

Capital allocation is a senior management team's most fundamental responsibility. The problem is that many CEOs don't know how to allocate capital effectively. The objective of capital allocation is to build long-term value per share. Capital allocation is always important but is especially pertinent today because return on invested capital is high, growth is modest, and corporate balance sheets in the U.S. have substantial cash. Internal financing represented more than 90 percent of the source of total capital for U.S. companies from 1980-2015. M&A, capital expenditures, and R&D are the largest uses of capital for operations, and companies now spend more on buybacks than dividends. This report discusses each use of capital, shows how to analyze that use, reviews the academic findings, and offers a near-term outlook. We provide a framework for assessing a company's capital allocation skills, which includes examining past behaviors, understanding incentives, and considering the five principles of capital allocation.

Some topics have been addressed in letters contained in previous editions by adding important new insights on recent developments; most consider subjects not previously addressed in the first edition. Topic highlights are the following: * the passion for using independent directors in corporate governance contrasted with inherent limits and often sub-par performance of this cohort, especially in the mutual fund industry; * the potential value of enhanced powers of audit committees on boards of directors in corporate governance; * the high costs to investors and the capital markets of extensive reliance on and compensation of intermediaries and high volumes of trading activity; * the proliferation of stock option compensation and excessive CEO pay (along with public debates concerning proper accounting treatment and political debates concerning standard setting); * Berkshire's shareholder-designated contribution program and related political controversy over the abortion issue that led to its termination; * the explosion of derivative financial instruments and related perils and how Berkshire dealt with managing a sizable portfolio of them after buying Gen Re; * the dramatic increase in foreign currency trading in the past five years along with the astonishing growth in the US trade deficit and evaluation of resulting national macroeconomic concerns; * management succession at Berkshire Hathaway as Mr. Buffett ages, along with commentary on his philanthropic thinking in giving his entire fortune to charities coordinated by Bill and Melinda Gates; and * the fairness and other matters concerning taxation of corporations, including Berkshire Hathaway.
