In business schools, managers are taught to maximize the netpresentvalue (NPV) of future cash flows. We can broadly classify firms’ corporate behaviors into two categories: growth and value firms. Growth firms will issue equity to pay for acquisitions; value firms won’t.
Managers who anticipate these agency problems won’t invest in a moonshot even if they believe it has a positive netpresentvalue. But managers can’t properly motivate the employees by rewarding them with the company’s stock, because its price wouldn’t track the value of the moonshot alone.
