Conclusions In conclusion, the advent of the electronic age benefits the corporate treasurer. Electronic data transmission and news dissemination assists in the exchange of information. This information is both highly accurate and comprehensive in nature. Decision-making is aided, transaction fees are reduced, efficiency is amplified, and lower operating costs are realized. Electronic technology is surely a benefit in this respect.
Electronic trading has little affect on company stock.
Trading volume varies by exchange, but price per share is reasonably stable in respect to how shares are traded. Market and economic conditions bear more of an impact on price than method of exchange. Bearing these things in mind, the corporate treasurer embraces new technology as a means for effectively and efficiently accomplishing the goals of the firm. Productivity increases, operating cost decreases, and more time can be spent on analysis and investment strategy, instead of information gathering. References Chorafas, Dimitris N.
