Content Analysis of Annual Reports for Corporate Strategy and Risk

Open access
Bowman, Edward H.·1984·Interfaces

Abstract

Annual report content analysis is used to explore corporate strategy and elements of risk and return. Sets of reports from three industries, food processing, computer peripherals, and containers, show relationships which are otherwise difficult to obtain and which can be tested for validity. Revealed are a negative correlation of risk and return between companies within industries, and a tendency of troubled companies to seek risk. Profits following higher risk positions are explored in light of current finance theory using content analysis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
