讲座内容

在收购中聘请顶级公共关系(PR)顾问的竞标方,其公告日超额回报比其他竞标方高出0.63%。这一效应集中在信息较为有限的非上市目标公司收购中,其超额回报高出1.11%。对于规模较小、分析师跟踪较少的竞标方,该效应更为显著。这一关系在倾向得分匹配样本和工具变量检验中依然稳健。在这些收购完成之后,客户留存率、供应商付款条件和员工满意度均有所改善。由顶级公关公司协助的收购交易获得了更多的媒体报道,且报道基调更为正面。我们的研究结果表明,公关顾问可以通过改善与利益相关方的沟通来提升交易质量,从而增加并购收益得以实现的可能性。

 

Bidders that employ top-tier public relations (PR) advisors in acquisitions experience announcement returns 0.63% higher than other bidders. The effect is concentrated in acquisitions of non-public targets, where information is limited, with returns 1.11% higher. It is larger for smaller bidders and bidders with less analyst following. The relation persists in propensity-score-matched samples and IV specifications. Following these acquisitions, customer retention, supplier payment terms, and employee satisfaction improve. Top-PR-assisted deals receive greater media coverage with more positive sentiment. Our findings suggest that PR advisors can enhance deal quality by improving stakeholder communication, increasing the likelihood that merger benefits are realized.
