In addition Shepherd, et al. 2001 asserts that An initial public offering appears to offer the entrepreneurial company a number of benefits, including legitimacy with stakeholders, access to debt capital (Sutton & Benedetto, 1988), and a mechanism by which entrepreneurs can reacquire control from investors (Black & Gilson, 1998). For investors, an IPO represents an exit mechanism (Sutton & Benedetto, 1988). Sahlman (1990) documents that almost all of the returns on venture capital funds are earned on companies that go public. Bygrave and Timmons (1991, p. 159) note that "hot IPO markets are by far the most important cause of peaks in venture capital returns (Shepherd, et al. 2001)."
As it relates to IPO and the current market environment the main incentive is still raising funds to expand the company and solidify the standing of the company. The aother incentives may be dependent upon the industry that the company is a member of. For instance, many tech stocks are volatile and unless it is a well-known company such as Google, the market may not be receptive to the company and investors may choose a stock that is less risky.
How will the markets react in a new wave of IPOs given past experience?
The way that the market reacts to IPO's is highly dependent upon the industry that the company is a member of.
The reaction of the market has a great deal to do with current events; these can be national events and/or international events. For instance, at the present time the market may be more reactive to an IPO of an energy company than that of a retail store. Such a reaction would occur because of the global demand for energy. The fact that this demand is expected to increase, also generates more of a reaction in the market.
Will these IPOs have any effect on their competitors stock traded in the secondary markets?
Again it depends on the industry and the size and success of the company with the IPO. Some industries are so saturated that an IPO offered by a new company that is not well-known may not have any effect at all. However, if there are not many companies in the industry and the IPO is coming from a company that is well-known and has sure financial footing, competitors may...
IPO Leno's quote about creating an artificial shortage of fish draws in some lessons about the business world to the old adage. The original adage is the first part of the quote about "Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day; teach a man to fish and he'll eat for a lifetime." This quote is talking about dependency, where the proverbial man is hungry. If you give him a
Google had reported profits of $191 million, while Amazon reported losses. Obviously, the difference in share attractiveness that resulted from this financial fact was clearly in favour of Google's eventual share growth. Basically, we can conclude that Google was at the right moment for an IPO and, additionally, the company was clearly much healthier and more prepared to have a significant subsequent share growth.

A logical starting point for analysis however, is the unremarkable yet important espy that cross-listing entities are existing firms or new ventures seeking capital. New companies attracting capital often view cross-listing as a crucial way to increase global visibility and provide financial stability. "IPOs that go public abroad are an important source of new capital for firms. From 1995 to 2007, 6% of all IPOs go public outside their
