...IPO pricing and allocation: a survey of the views of institutional investors * Tim Jenkinson Said Business School, Oxford University and CEPR Howard Jones Said Business School, Oxford University Abstract Despite the central importance of investors to all IPO theories, relatively little is known about their role in practice. In this paper we survey institutional investors about how they assess IPOs, what information they provide to the investment banking syndicate, and the factors they believe influence allocations. Although the theoretical IPO literature has tended to focus on information revelation, the survey raises doubts as to the extent of incremental information production and whether bookrunners are, in practice, able to infer investors’ valuations from their bids. We find that investor characteristics, in particular broking relationships with the bookrunner, are perceived to be the most important factors influencing allocations, which supports the view that IPO allocations are part of implicit quid pro quo deals with investment banks.

...determined that a legally binding contract does not exist because there are specific elements that are missing in said contract. Although there is sufficient offer and acceptance, consideration is a definite issue. According to Mr. Turner, he met with Sally Conner, and her daughter Rebecca, to discuss replacing her roof and providing a home maintenance plan. During the meeting, Rebecca stated that she would like to oversee her mother’s financial matters, but left on an errand five minutes into the meeting, leaving Mr. Turner and Ms. Conner to continue the meeting together. After picking out the desired shingle, Ms. Conner then agreed to let Mr. Turner begin work on the following Sunday. However, when Mr. Turner began work that day at 7:00 a.m., Ms. Conner had been away for the weekend. Upon returning home at 3:30 p.m., Ms. Conner stated that she no longer wished to hire Mr. Turner because she has found a cheaper company. After reviewing the information provided, possible defects in the contract have been made clear. Rebecca asked to oversee her mother’s financial matters with apparent reason. During the meeting, Mr. Turner admitted to seeing several brochures from the American Association of Schizophrenia. Additionally, Ms. Conner asked Mr. Turner to get her a glass of water, as well as help with opening a prescription bottle containing the medication Zyprexa® because she had issues with the childproof lid. Based on the information provided by Mr. Turner, it...

...team. However, the lack of team preparation has led to poor team processes and left MGI with no tangible business plan three weeks before the deadline. However, MGI’s team processes can still be improved through Henry’s integration efforts. The real crux of MGI’s poor ‘Team Process’ or, the “the interactions that group members undertake in a team environment that convert members skills, expertise, and other inputs into a group project or other form of output” (Polzer, HBS Case #9-403-094), was based on the following: a lack of common goals, lack of team roles, and lack of information exchange. Fundamental components such as the 'Available Resources', 'Incentives or Rewards', 'Roles and Responsibilities' were never reviewed during the Launch Meeting (Polzer, HBS Case #9-403-094). The MGI team’s failure to agree on common team goals and to define formal roles for its members upfront are the root causes for its poor team processes. Henry and Dana saw the business plan competition as an opportunity to gain business development experience with a start up and contribute to MGI’s vision; however, Sasha envisioned them as “interns”. When Sasha handed them an envelope of alumni names to cold-call, the initial conflict between Sasha and Dana began (Polzer, HBS Case #9-403-094). Such misalignment had certainly led to some discomfort. The divided team also failed to agree on which market segment (Education vs. Entertainment) to choose as MGI's primary target. This indecisiveness...

...expiration of the 90 day period the parties reached an oral distribution agreement at the meeting. However, the exclusive negotiation agreement stipulated that no distribution contract existed unless it was in writing. The contract was formed when the BTT manager sent the "Strat Deal" to Chou. Since the e-mail contained all the key terms of the distribution agreement including price, time frames, and obligation of both parties, the e-mail complied with the requirement that the contract should be in writing. When the BTT manager sent the e-mail, the contract was formed (Andrews. N, 2011). There is an objective manifestation of intent to contract. The first manifestation of the intent to contract is the payment by BTT of $25,000 in exchange for exclusive negotiation rights for a 90-day period. The second manifestation of the intent to contract is the meeting between BTT managers and Chou where they reached an oral distribution agreement. Third the sending of e-mail drafted by BTT manager shows the intent to contract. Fourth, the stating of all the terms that had been agreed upon in the BTT manager e-mail shows the intent to contract (Barnett. R, 2010). According to the contract law, the offer is a manifestation of intent. During the negotiations an offer was made to Chou. This was the manifestation of intent to contract. The second manifestation was the valid acceptance of the offer during the meeting. There was an intent to contract that is why there was the intent to accept. A legally...

...importance of making a good first impression A positive first impression can be thought of as the first step in building a long-term relationship. The Primary Effect The development of professional presence begins with a full-appreciation of the first impression. The tendency to form and retain impressions quickly at the time of an initial meeting illustrates what social psychologist call a primacy effect in the way people perceive one another. The general principle is that initial information tends to carry more weight than information received later. First impressions establish the mental framework within which a person is viewed, and information acquired later is often ignored or reinterpreted to coincide with this framework. The First Few Seconds When two people meet, their potential for building a relationship can be affected by many factors. Within a few moments, one person or the other may feel threatened, offended or bored. Assumptions versus Facts The impressions you form of another person during the initial contact is made up both assumptions and facts. Most people tend rely more heavily on assumption during the initial meeting. If job applicants sit slumped in the chair, head bowed and shoulder slack, you might assume the person is not very interested in the position. If the postal clerk fails to make eye contact during the transaction and does not express appreciation for your purchase, you may...

...Constitution and bylaws workbook for prospective student organizations at Salem University). The constitution will spell out the assignment of officer positions within the club such as the president and vice president. Additional special assignments such as the treasurer, secretary and others may also be added as deemed necessary. As stated previously the constitution may also contain bylaws. These are more specific rules or laws such as meeting times, dues, membership requirements and voting privileges. A well written constitution will also state that these bylaws cannot be changed without some type of review and approval by the club before they can be changed. The degree of review is set forth in the constitution and bylaws. For example, if the bylaws state that the monthly meeting will be held on the third Monday of the month, which by law cannot be changed without a review and approval before the club members (or assembly). In other words, the sitting president or meeting chairperson cannot simply say he/she will conduct the meeting on the second Tuesday. That decision will have to be reviewed and voted on by the voting members of the club. The methodology in which rules and laws are changed is a very important part of the governance that goes into...
