Study Notes

The New Fortune and Analyst Rankings

The New Fortune releases an annual ranking of best analysts, similar to the Institutional Investor rankings in the United States.
The rankings are based on a survey of portfolio managers, capital management institutions, and other public departments.

High-Status Employee Departure and Performance

The departure of high-status analysts leads to a performance increase of their staying colleagues.
The effect is more pronounced when they work in a low-status firm and when staying analysts have more industry overlap with departing analysts.

Contingency Factors of High-Status Departure

The effect of high-status departure is contingent on the relationship between departing and staying analysts.
The effect is more likely to be observed in contexts where employees are in more contested relationships competing for resources and opportunities.

Importance of Considering Employee Status

It is crucial to consider employee status when exploring the peer influence of turnover.
Managers should be aware of the advantages attributed to high-status employees and the performance shifts among their colleagues.

Managing Employee Departure

Managers should strategically respond to employee departure instances, particularly high-status departures, to maintain good performance levels.
Cultivating employees with similar work can help maintain performance levels.

Code and Recommendation Consensus

Recommendations of strong sell, sell, hold, buy, and strong buy are coded as -2, -1, 0, 1, and 2 respectively.
Recommendation consensus for a stock is calculated as the average of all recommendations for the stock in a year.
