Abstract:
This paper studies specific disclosed information dimensions in Greek casual or interim reports (i.e. prospectus or “enimerotika deltia” of 113 corporates by admission of securities to The Athens Stock Exchange Market – ASE) concerning the “financial performance status” of corporates. The research focuses –via financial ratios– on possible predictor variables, factors or “drivers” influencing the actual “status quo” in general and within some structures or constructs (branches, time, experience, globalization, disclosed information type and personnel) in particular. The research uses initially cross tabulation and means analysis and continues with the more sophisticated multivariate analysis methods, like Discriminant Analysis and Factor Analysis. In this way is tried to capture the “holistic” picture, first the general (means, cross tabulation) relationships and then the discriminative and integrative ingredients of the examined variables.
