Abstract

The management of a company plays a critical role in determining whether a business will be able to produce superior returns to investors. Little research has however been undertaken to establish how fund managers and financial analysts assess management when making investment decisions. This exploratory study aimed to identify the main constructs underlying the assessment of management by investment analysts and fund managers.
