IT investment showing a large hole in the companies. The hole in question is spending a large and growing, but the measurement of performance, disciplined processes and its management is still considered inadequate. Many companies are aggressively re-examine the amount they drizzle for IT investments for the purpose of cost reduction, the achievement of scale economies of scale, and encourage the shareholders to get anything more with less expenditure. The main focus on IT investments and projects range in short-term priorities with the benefits that can be enjoyed within a period of relatively rapid, followed by suspension and even termination of the projects long term strategic nature.

Alongside the IT spending cuts and short-term focus, management in the company demanded an increase in IT productivity, expanding the role of IT that was focused internally only be dealing with customers, which makes IT relevant to a business strategy that has temporarily reduced its resources. Customers are now demanding a solution to real time, fast, and customized. Competitors on the other hand also forced the company to continue to innovate in order to maintain its position in the market. In addition darti regulators also requires a new level of accountability and the track record of  behavior, which requires that companies must meet the new level of regulation.

In addition to the restricted stock studies, U.S. publicly traded companies are able to sell stock to offshore investors (SEC Regulation S, enacted in 1990) without registering the shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The offshore buyers may resell these shares in the United States, still without having to register the shares, after holding them for just 40 days. Typically, these shares are sold for 20% to 30% below the publicly traded share price. Some of these transactions have been reported with discounts of more than 30%, resulting from the lack of marketability. These discounts are similar to the marketability discounts inferred from the restricted and pre-IPO studies, despite the holding period being just 40 days. Studies based on the prices paid for options have also confirmed similar discounts. If one holds restricted stock and purchases an option to sell that stock at the market price (a put), the holder has, in effect, purchased marketability for the shares. The price of the put is equal to the marketability discount. The range of marketability discounts derived by this study was 32% to 49%. However, ascribing the entire value of a put option to marketability is misleading, because the primary source of put value comes from the downside price protection. A correct economic analysis would use deeply in-the-money puts or Single-stock futures, demonstrating that marketability of restricted stock is of low value because it is easy to hedge using unrestricted stock or futures trades.

Restricted stocks are equity securities of public companies that are similar in all respects to the freely traded stocks of those companies except that they carry a restriction that prevents them from being traded on the open market for a certain period of time, which is usually one year (two years prior to 1990). This restriction from active trading, which amounts to a lack of marketability, is the only distinction between the restricted stock and its freely-traded counterpart. Restricted stock can be traded in private transactions and usually do so at a discount. The restricted stock studies attempt to verify the difference in price at which the restricted shares trade versus the price at which the same unrestricted securities trade in the open market as of the same date. The underlying data by which these studies arrived at their conclusions has not been made public. Consequently, it is not possible when valuing a particular company to compare the characteristics of that company to the study data. Still, the existence of a marketability discount has been recognized by valuation professionals and the Courts, and the restricted stock studies are frequently cited as empirical evidence. Notably, the lowest average discount reported by these studies was 26% and the highest average discount was 45%.
