Abstract

This study documents corporate culture at the time of IPO and the relationship between corporate culture at the time of IPO and firms’ financial performance. Based on a sample of 1,355 US firms that went public between 1996 and 2011 and performance information to 2016, the data indicate strong evidence that regional culture, industry characteristics, and pre-IPO financing play key roles in explaining a firm’s cultural orientation. Moreover, the data indicate that IPO firms with a highly competition- and creation-oriented culture experience higher profitability and less risk of financial distress than other IPO firms.
