Economía de las empresas - Inversiones y finanzas

Companies all over the world need liquid assets to start, grow or save their businesses. There are several options for companies to get access to these assets, such as the classical use of revenues or to raise a credit at a bank. But these options are maybe not sufficient enough or limited in time. To reach their goals companies can raise the funds in the capital market through an initial public offering.

Due to the advancing globalization and digitalization companies theoretically can gather money through the IPO from all over the world. As the IPO is considered to be one of the most significant events in the life cycle of companies a profound analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of IPOs is needed to be conducted by the companies.
