Entrepreneurial firms' wealth creation via forecasting

Wealth creation is critical to the performance of entrepreneurial firms. The two major issues that entrepreneurial firms face are as to when to issue the initial public offering (IPO) and how to invest in the stock market. Stock market forecasting can facilitate the provision of financial services for entrepreneurial firms in relation to both issues. Hence, this study proposes a novel neural network multivariate model to forecast stock markets. The proposed model can assist in deciding the timing of an IPO for the entrepreneurial firms and when to invest in the stock market.
