Ensuring the sustainability of the economy
Securities determine the levels of capitalization that a company has and will ultimate contribute to the valuation of the enterprise. In truth, many organizations could utilize the facility of shares issuance to specifically manipulate their capitalization levels, and raising huge business capital from market.

The rights issue will then become an area of great concern for the senior managers because once you open the shares up to the public then you have the accompanying scrutiny that will constantly determine the value of your shares.
In this article I will look at how the interaction and implication of market capitalization and the securities industry which could possibly affect the day to day operations of the company in question. We have to bear in mind the fact that many organizations have no choice as to whether to capitalize or not. The market conditions in which they are operating will always be the determining factor and as we all know this is not always a favorable position.

The decision as to whether to issue more securities in the aid of market capitalization will ultimately be taken by the chief executive team on the advice of specialist assistants who will be able to explain the main issues that will be involved. However even if the senior management team does not want to issue shares, it may be forced to do so if the cash requirements of the business are such that an alternative action would be disastrous.

Other people begin to control the company
The loss of company control will obviously be a major concern to those who are thinking of issuing shares. The shareholders rightly feel that they should be involved in the company and will not accept the secondary position of mere observer. They demand that they retain the power to veto any policy decisions that have been made and this includes whether to expand the securities base.
For senior management this can be a bitter pill to swallow especially if they believe that they are in the best position to decide the direction of the company. However money talks and the people who are bailing out the company deserve some recognition in terms of the work that they are doing and the prospects for influencing company policy.
What then of the decision to balance capitalization requirements with investor phobia ? In the majority of cases the need to capitalize will out any other consideration. What the company has to then do is find ways of mitigating some of the more negative aspects of the capitalization program.
For instance, some securities shares will put very harsh restrictions on what the shareholders can do. They have to make the choice of either trusting the company or refusing to invest altogether. Quite surprisingly there are many investors who will respond to this type of ultimatum. They have securities that give them minimum control yet they are in effect funding the growth of the company in question.
