Research On The Implementation Effect Of Employee Stock Ownership Plan For Company A

Employee stock ownership plans first originated in the United States,and their prototype was in the form of giving employees equity to pay their salaries.In the 1950 s,labormanagement conflicts in the U.S.became increasingly serious,leading to conflicts between labor and capital and a series of social conflicts,and then employee stock ownership plans were born.In the 1980 s,China started to introduce the concept of "employee stock ownership" and conducted pilot projects in many places in China,but it was temporarily suspended by the regulator due to the unreasonable operation process.2014,the state issued a series of policies and guidelines to regulate the implementation process of employee stock ownership plans,which set off another boom of employee stock ownership plans.The employee stock ownership plan boom.Company A,a domestic private listed company,has already implemented two complete rounds of employee stock ownership plan in 2016 and 2019 and launched the third employee stock ownership plan in February 2022.It is based on this background that this paper uses Company A as the object of this case study to analyze the implementation effects of employee share ownership plans in biopharmaceutical companies.Firstly,the background and significance of the employee stock ownership plan are introduced,the domestic and international literature related to its implementation motives,methods and effects are reviewed,and the subsequent research ideas and logical framework of the paper are sorted out.Then,the relevant concepts and theories are defined,and the employee stock ownership plan is compared with equity incentives to lay the theoretical foundation for the subsequent paper.Then,we introduce the case study of the employee stock ownership plan implemented by Company A,introduce the company’s situation and industry background,state the specific implementation process of the two phases of the employee stock ownership plan,and analyze in depth the motivation of Company A to implement the employee stock ownership plan.This paper analyzes the effects of the implementation of the two share ownership plans.In terms of market response,it is found that the second employee share ownership plan issued by Company A has received more significant positive responses from the stock market and shareholders based on the changes in the cumulative excess return.In terms of nonfinancial effects,further research found that the employee stock ownership plan increased employee growth and reduced employee turnover,enhanced core competencies and reduced agency costs,but did not change the company’s actual equity and existing governance structure.In order to promote the sustainable performance of all parties in Company A,the paper also proposes the optimization suggestions of increasing the employee shareholding ratio,increasing the performance appraisal mechanism and implementing a long-term stable incentive plan.The article concludes in the final part that the employee stock ownership plan of Company A(1)can enhance the wealth of the company’s shareholders;(2)helps improve the company’s performance;(3)does not actually improve the equity structure;and(4)the incentive effect has a short-sighted effect.It also draws insights from the perspectives of the company,the industry and the national regulator respectively,in order to optimize the subsequent employee stock ownership plan of Company A and provide some insights and implications for other listed companies to implement employee stock ownership,in order to look forward to the value that this case study can bring.
