Reviews


Helpful but outdated
In general this is a helpful book for those new to the industry. However, I found it alarming that there has been no revision to this book since the internet bubble, 9/11, the corporate financing scandals of the early 00's, and the implementation of Sarbanes-Oxley. I'm curious about whether Bruce Marcus's newer book might be a better reference.

Laborious. Master of the Obvious. Good for Newbies.
If you're new to the field...then this is for you. But if you're experienced in IR -- as a practicioner or an executive, you'll find nothing new here.

For example, pages on end on why IR is marketing. There's one page on the all-important roadshow presentation; it reads "The organization of the presentation is extremely important." Well, Duh...

Laborious reading, but if you're a newbie and don't want to embarass yourself, lock yourself in a room with this for the weekend.

A good read, but not a good reference guide
I was looking for a great reference book that would quickly answer my questions. Unfortunately, this book must be read thoroughly (or at least a chapter at a time). The index could have been much, much more detailed. As it stands, the index is an afterthought, and a very bad one at that. With a better index, this could be a reference book. As it stands, it's still worth the read. I'll still be looking for a better reference guide, though.

THE BEST BOOK
THIS IS THE BIBLE FOR INVESTOR RELATIONS MANAGERS. YOU CAN FIND ANYTHING YOU WANT TO GET THE MOST OF YOUR FIRM VALUE TO PUBLIC. IT IS THE A-Z GUIDE FOR ALL OF US.

An Excellent Beginner's Guide to IR
A very thorough review of the growing Investor Relations profession. Identifies modern techniques, strategies, resources, and basic SEC disclosure rules used in everything from the pre-IPO to the annual meeting. A great primer for anyone considering a career in Investor Relations.
