INVESTORS’ PERCEPTION INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING IN RWANDA
Author: Dr. Rudahigwa Oswald
ABSTRACT
Initial Public Offering is the most phenomenal event for an organization. For any company, “being public” is just as important as “going public.” IPOs are normally issued by small and new companies who are in need of capital to expand their business, but sometimes large companies also issue them for public trading. Going public is a very big decision for any company. It permanently changes the way company does business. A public company has more sources of capital than a private company. But going public or offering an IPO is a very tedious and time-consuming process for any company.
