Abstract

The times are changing for both business managers and investors. Probably the most important task for business managers today is the effective management of the company's portfolio of resources, and identifying, implementing and managing a strategy to leverage these resources to achieve competitive advantage. As part of its strategy in managing company resources, management has to factor in the interests of shareholders and hence, must identify dividend policies that are in lined with the company's strategy in managing its portfolio of resources.The general research question of my MA thesis, which is the main factor in the determination of the different research methodologies appropriate for this paper, is whether the dividend policies of companies' impact the share prices of these companies' common stocks. In so doing, I will be examining these dividend policies.
