Abstract:
Corporate inertia, stemming from a reluctance to adapt and innovate over time, poses significant challenges in the modern business landscape, particularly in capital markets. This study examines the impact of corporate inertia on information assymetry within the Iranian capital market. Employing a comprehensive research approach involving meta-synthesis, Delphi analysis, and questionnaire design, we assess corporate inertia. Questionnaires were distributed to managers of sampled companies, with ۱۳۸ responses included in the statistical analysis. Information asymmetry is measured using three proxies: bid-ask spread, turnover, and the liquidity of the company's stock. The findings indicate a positive and significant relationship between corporate inertia and information assymetry. Our results suggest that corporate inertia fosters a managerial mindset characterized by insularity and resistance to change. This mindset prioritizes individual insights over stakeholder interests, resulting in a monopolistic control of information disclosure that exacerbates information assymetry in the market.
