Does equity analyst research lack rigour and objectivity? Evidence from conference call questions and research notes / Catherine Salzedo, Steven Young , Mahamoud EL-HAJ.
// Accounting and Business Research Volume 48, No.1 2018.p. 5-36. Doubts have been raised about the rigour and objectivity of sell-side analysts’ research due to institutional structures that promote pro-management behaviour. However, research in psychology stresses the importance of controlling for biases in individuals’ inherent cognitive processing behaviour when drawing conclusions about their propensity to undertake careful scientific analysis. Using social cognition theory, we predict that the rigour and objectivity evident in analyst research is more pronounced following unexpected news in general and unexpected bad news in particular. We evaluate this prediction against the null hypothesis that analyst research consistently lacks rigour and objectivity to maintain good relations with management. Using U.S. firm earnings surprises as our conditioning event, we examine the content of analysts’ conference call questions and research notes to assess the properties of their research. We find that analysts’ notes and conference call questions display material levels of rigour and objectivity when earnings news is unexpectedly positive, and that these characteristics are more pronounced in response to unexpectedly poor earnings news. Results are consistent with analysts’ innate cognitive processing response counteracting institutional considerations when attributional search incentives are strong. Exploratory analysis suggests that studying verbal and written outputs provides a more complete picture of analysts’ work.

The point of the deal : how to negotiate when "yes" is not enough / Danny Ertel ; Mark Gordon. Boston, Mass. : Harvard Business School Press, 2007xvii, 265 p. : ill. ; 25 cm.In The Point of the Deal, Danny Ertel and Mark Gordon explain how to transition from a deal-maker mentality (focusing on making the agreement) to an implementation mindset (ensuring the deal generates value for your company after the ink on the contract has dried)." "With a wealth of examples from multiple industries, countries, and functions, the authors illustrate how their approach to instilling an implementation mind-set works in all kinds of familiar contexts for business deals - including mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, alliances, outsourcing arrangements, and customer and supplier relationships. The Point of the Deal not only offers crucial advice for individual negotiators and teams. It also enables managers to treat negotiation as a critical business process that drives real value for their organizations.
