Abstract

Our study aims at understanding the introduction and the development of financial 'communication' in French companies. The case of Saint-Gobain (1867-2005) is used to explain why and how Saint-Gobain have taken the initiative in going more to meet investors, by having voluntary disclosed more than legal financial information.
