Abstract

[eng] Financial Information : in Search of the Long Term.. At the beginning of 2009, Institut de l’entreprise, a French think tank, tried to identify how to reach a better consideration of long term issues by companies. In this perspective, investor relations naturally seemed essential, as criticism of «short-termism » has been mainly directed at the financial markets. In order to guide investors’ behavior towards long-termism, companies should strive to renew the terms of the dialogue they establish with their shareholders. This renewal can be propped up by an evolution in the nature of the information the latter are given : existing financial indicators, forwardlooking indicators, data relative to the intangibles and more generally indicators on the health of the companies. Moreover, this renewal should enable the companies to mean clearly that they pursue, beyond their short-term performance goals, a long-term strategic project, the follow-up of which is based on reliable indicators, and that the management and the board of directors are concerned by its success. . Classification JEL : M14, M41, G24. [fre] Début 2009, l’Institut de l’entreprise a engagé une réflexion visant à identifier les leviers d’une meilleure prise en compte du long terme par l’entreprise. Dans cette perspective, la relation aux investisseurs est naturellement apparue centrale : c’est d’abord aux marchés financiers que s’adresse la critique de « court-termisme » . Afin de mieux orienter vers le long terme le comportement des investisseurs, les entreprises doivent s’employer à renouveler les termes du dialogue qu’elles entretiennent avec eux. Ce renouvellement peut se traduire par une évolution dans la nature des informations qui leur sont transmises : indicateurs financiers existants, indicateurs prospectifs, données relatives au capital immatériel et plus généralement indicateurs sur la santé de l’entreprise. Plus largement, ce renouvellement doit permettre de signifier clairement que l’entreprise poursuit, au-delà des impératifs immédiats de performance, un projet stratégique à long terme, dont le suivi dans la durée est assuré par des indicateurs fiables, et à la réussite duquel sont attachés le management et le conseil d’administration. . Classification JEL : M14, M41, G24.
