Therefore, corporations hire professional editorial teams,often being supported by financial service communication consultancies. While the regulatory objective is to increasetransparency, the management has an inherent motivation to give the reports a positive spin. We aim to explore this conflictby analyzing the sentiment of corporate disclosures and to compare this tone with the price reactions following thedisclosures’ publication. On the basis of an empirical analysis of intraday stock price reactions and word lists which providemeans to assess the tone of documents, our results provide evidence that corporates follow a strategy to positively adjust theirexternal reporting."],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/62946"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.relation.conference","Seventeenth Americas Conference on Information Systems"],["dc.relation.eventend","2011-08-07"],["dc.relation.eventlocation","Detroit, Michigan"],["dc.relation.eventstart","2011-08-04"],["dc.relation.ispartof","Proceedings of the Seventeenth Americas Conference on Information Systems"],["dc.title","How \"good\" is bad News?

While existing research has mainly focused on the analysis of the impact of online information exchange, little attention has been devoted to the drivers of information exchange in social media related to major business events. In this study we explore drivers of information exchange relating to such events. In the context of merger-acquisition events, we posit that firm visibility based on firm characteristics and information needs triggered by the event itself influence the information quantity generated in social media. We test these hypotheses using a rich data set that includes a wide range of social media types and platforms. Our results show that both firm visibility and information needs are driving information quantity in social media in the context of corporate actions. Both of these driving factors are highly significant in explaining the information quantity in social media."],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/15594"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.publisher","Association for Information Systems AIS Electronic Library ( AISeL )"],["dc.relation.conference","The 18th Pacific Asia Conference on Information Systems"],["dc.relation.eventend","2014-06-28"],["dc.relation.eventlocation","Chengdu, China"],["dc.relation.eventstart","2014-06-24"],["dc.relation.isbn","978-988-8353-22-4"],["dc.relation.ispartof","Proceeding of the 19th Pacific Asia Conference on Information Systems (PACIS 2014)"],["dc.title","Drivers of Information Quantity: The Case of Merger-Acquisitions Events"],["dc.type","conference_paper"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

In this exploratory study, we seek to understand the drivers of information quality on blogs in the context of business events.
