Abstract: | Short-term pressures are defined and a distinction drawn between external S-TP, mainly from shareholders, and internal S-TP, from top management. A conceptual framework for analysing S-TP is developed and empirical evidence for their existence reviewed. Although certain crude formulations of the argument for short-termism are rejected, evidence is found for the existence of both types of S-TP in the UK. Excessive diversification, particularly by acquisition, exacerbates S-TP. |
