The aim of this study is to examine whether search engine marketing may influence consumers’ brand awareness in terms of brand recall and brand recognition. The theoretical background derives from the definition and rationale of brand awareness. The study is further based on a theoretical outline of search engine marketing and its components. Furthermore, the Hierarchy of Effects Model is used in order to describe the steps a company may influence consumers in their purchase process. In order to capture consumers’ reasoning and behaviour in the search engine context, a two-way study approach was conducted.

本研究主要探討公司進行現金增資之決策是否受到市場對公司的股價反 應與公司本身財務彈性所影響。本研究以 1980 年至 2015 年間,美國證券 市場 328 家撤銷現金增資的公司與 11,754 家完成現金增資的公司為樣本, 並進一步探討撤銷現金增資之決策影響因素。實證結果顯示,當市場於現 金增資宣告日給予負向反應時,公司傾向撤銷現金增資。該結果證實公司 會運用其市場擇時能力以進行現金增資之決策。本研究亦針對撤銷現金增 資之決策影響因素進行探討,發現股價現金增資反應較差、成長機會較低 或獲利能力越好的公司會傾向撤銷現金增資。此外,本研究發現當公司因 宣告現金增資而引起股價下跌時,財務彈性較佳的公司將傾向撤銷現金增 資。然而,財務彈性不佳的公司則不受市場狀況所影響,並傾向完成現金 增資。因此,公司除了將市場情形納入現金增資決策外,在市場狀況不佳 時更特別注重公司是否持有足夠的現金以保持財務彈性。 / The main purpose of this study is to examine whether the interaction between market reaction to the announcement and financial flexibility of seasoned equity offering (SEO) will affect the decision of SEO cancellation. This study includes 328 canceled SEOs and 11,754 completed SEOs in U.S. market from 1980 to 2015 and conducts a comprehensive analysis on the decision of SEO cancellation. We find that, consistent with market timing theory, SEO firms tend to cancel their equity offerings if the market reaction to those SEOs are negative. We further investigate determinants of the decision of SEO cancellation. We find that SEO cancellation is negatively associated with stock price reaction and the growth opportunity, and positively associated with the profitability. In addition, we show the evidence that the association between SEO cancellation decision and the market condition depends on the level of financial flexibility for SEO firms. Specifically, we find that firms with more financial flexibility tend to cancel SEOs if their stock prices experience a large decline around the filing date, while firms with less financial flexibility will complete equity issuance regardless of the market conditions.

本研究旨在探討國內發行公司在IPO掛牌後1年內辦理SEO之決策因素。本研究以民國85 年至89 年間新上市（櫃）的公司為樣本進行實證，並歸納實證結果如下： 一、 國內上市（櫃）公司於IPO掛牌後首次辦理SEO之決策實證結果支持市場回饋假說，即IPO掛牌後60、120、180、240個營業日之累積超額報酬率越高（低），發行公司越（不）可能於1年內辦理SEO。惟就股價報酬波動度對之影響而言，對非電子業公司來說，IPO掛牌後60、120、180、240個營業日股價報酬波動度與發行公司辦理SEO間有顯著之負相關，但電子業公司除短天期60個營業日之波動度有顯著負相關外，較長天期之波動度則較不具解釋能力。 二、 公司規模較小、設立年限較短及負債比率較高之發行公司，較有可能在掛牌後1年內辦理SEO。另發行公司是否在IPO公開銷售時採用競價拍賣方式，及內部人持股比例等因素與發行公司是否於掛牌後1年內辦理SEO之決策間較無明顯之關係。 / The purpose of this study is to explore the factors which determine Taiwanese companies’ conducting seasoned equity offerings (SEOs) within one year after their initial public offerings (IPOs). The samples come from firms first listed on the TSEC and OTC market between 1996 with 2000. The empirical findings of this research are as follows: 1、 The factors effecting firms’ decisions on SEO support market feedback hypothesis. That is, the more abcdrmal stock returns within 60, 120, 180, and 240 transaction days after IPOs, the higher the possibility for firms to conduct a SEO. However, although the factor of stock price’s volatilities has a significantly negative relation to hi-tech firms’ SEO decisions, it has less relation to non-hi-tech firms’. 2、 Firms with smaller size, shorter age and higher debt ratio have more chance to SEO. Nevertheless, neither the factor of whether IPO in auction or not, nor the one of the insider holding ratio has a relation to companies’ SEO decisions.
