This book was released on 2017 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Pakistan, the ownership of majority of the firms is characterized by the concentration of different groups including family members, associated firms, institutional investors and insiders. The present study aims to investigate whether different ownership structure including family ownership, associated ownership, institutional ownership, concentrated ownership, managerial ownership, block holding, and foreign ownership contribute to the financial performance of non- financial firms listed at the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX). Findings suggest that a firm's performance increases significantly in the presence of associated ownership, concentrated ownership, institutional ownership and block holding. This indicates that these ownership structures add value and help in reducing agency problems. On the other hand, family and managerial ownership have a negative relationship with firm performance. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis of minority shareholder expropriation which states that when family ownership and managers' involvement is higher in a firm, they exploit the funds of minor shareholders. Similarly, foreign ownership also does not add value.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines how corporate governance is practiced through ownership structure and how firm's performance as well as its dividend payout policy is influenced by different ownership pattern. In doing so, this paper attempts to investigate the pattern of ownership mix and ownership concentration scenario towards sponsorship in Bangladesh, the relationship between the ownership structure and firm performance and finally the impact of ownership structure upon firm's dividend payout policy. An analysis has been made as evidence taking all listed non-financing firms from the Dhaka Stock Exchange. There are several alternative corporate governance mechanisms, which may play an important role to improve firm's performance. Here ownership structure has been considered as an effective tool of corporate governance. In this study, the relations between firm's return and value with ownership variables along with firm's specific variables controlling the industry effects have been examined. Using the data from two sample points of 2000 and 2003, it is shown that a large fraction of cross-sectional variation in performance, found in several studies, is explained by unobserved firm heterogeneity, rather than the shareholders holding. Our empirical results provide evidence that foreign holding is positively and significantly related to the firm performance as measured by firm's holding period returns and Tobin's Q, and the relationship is a monotonic one. We also provide empirical evidence that firms with high institutional ownership and firms with concentrated ownership pay high and less dividend payout respectively.

Book excerpt: Diploma Thesis from the year 2003 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 1,1 (A), European Business School - International University Schlo Reichartshausen Oestrich-Winkel (Endowed-Chairf for Corporate Finance and Capital Markets), language: English, abstract: The idea that the general characteristics of a firm's ownership structure can affect performance has achieved considerable attention and related research brought forward relatively consistent empirical evidence e.g. on the positive impact of managerial ownership on firm performance. However, the evidence on the relation between ownership and capital structure is less consistent and numerous, although there are good reasons to believe that there may be such a relationship. Since the capital structure irrelevance propositions of MODIGLIANI/MILLER economists have devoted considerable time to studying cross-sectional and time-series variations in capital structure. More recent work following the seminal contribution by JENSEN/MECKLING has employed an agency theory perspective in the search for an explanation of capital structure variations. With this managerial perspective capital structure is not only explained by variations in internal and external contextual factors of the firm, but also by the values, goals, preferences and desires of managers. Corporate financing decisions are influenced by managers' incentives and the incentives for managers to act opportunistically can be influenced by the ownership structure of the firm. However, most empirical work analyzing a firm's capital structure in cross-sectional and time-series studies ignores the equity ownership structure as a possible explanatory variable. This can be partly explained by problems associated with the availability of ownership data, when compared to readily available accounting and market data on other relevant variables. Notwithstanding, it entails a problem of model misspecification as omitting a relevant variable

This book was released on 2011-08 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do corporate governance practices affect firm performance? Are shareholders willing to pay a premium for higher governance standards? How does the ownership structure of a firm affect its corporate governance practices and firm performance? This book investigates whether differences in the quality of firm-level corporate governance affects firm performance. Constructing a broad corporate governance index for listed Turkish companies, it is documented that there is a positive relationship between governance scores and Tobin's Q as a measure for firm performance. Firms with better corporate governance scores in the model used in this book have higher firm values, which implies that firms can increase shareholder value by restructuring their corporate governance standards. The analysis also sheds light on the impact of ownership structure on stock performance. Listed companies withhigher corporate governance scores and higher foreign ownership ratios experienced a smaller reduction in their share prices during the equity market crash in Turkey parallel to the global equity markets between 2008 and 2009.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corporate governance addresses the checks and balances placed in the system to prevent abuse of power. Such power may reside in a Chief Executive Officer, if ownership of a company is widely dispersed (as in the case of US or UK) or it may rest in the hands of an individual or a group(s) with controlling shareholding as more happens in markets dominated by family ownership. Thus, who owns the firm's equity and how does ownership affect firm value has been a topic investigated by researchers for decades. Thus, the impact of ownership structure on firm performance has been widely tackled in various developed markets and more recently in emerging markets, but was not addressed before, in Egypt. The paper aims to explore if there are dominant certain types of owners of actively listed and traded companies on Cairo amp; Alexandria Stock Exchanges. Further, it investigates whether the ownership type affects some key accounting and market performance indicators of listed firms. The 90 most actively listed companies on CASE, that constitute the bulk of trading, were chosen to constitute the sample of the study as of end of 2000. The findings indicate the presence of highly concentrated ownership structure in the Egyptian market. The results of the regression analyses indicate that the dispersed ownership percentage influences certain dimensions of accounting performance indicators (i.e. ROA and ROE) but not stock market performance indicators (i.e. P/E and P/BV ratios), which indicate that there might be other factors (economic, political, contextual) affecting firms performance other than ownership structure, which supports the findings of Heracleous (2001) that researches must develop methodologies that can account for multiple, systemic and multi-directional influences on firm performance and avoid models that attempt to correlate only one element such as ownership structure with firm performance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corporate governance as a mechanism helps to align management's goals with those of the stakeholders which are to increase firm performance. The relevant literature suggests that ownership structure is one of the main corporate governance mechanisms influencing the scope of a firm performance. Therefore, the aim of this study is to answer this question: ''is there any relationship between ownership concentration and firm performance?'' Based on stratified random sampling of listed firms on Tehran Stock Exchange and applying the panel least squared with cross-section weights as the underlying statistical test, it is found that firm performance is negatively related to ownership concentration of Iranian listed firms. In addition, the impact of ownership structure on firm performance depends on industry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The evidence of highly concentrated ownership structure in companies that have exposed themselves to market discipline illustrates a confusing structure of corporate governance. The disciplinary effect of the market is questioned in a context with concentrated ownership structure and poor investor protection. We explore whether the presence and magnitude of market control leads to differences in performance in the case of concentrated ownership structure. We explore how the presence and the magnitude of widely held ownership influence the different dimensions of performance in companies with concentrated ownership. We further investigate whether the differences in the identity of the controlling shareholder influences impact of market control on the performance of these firms. Companies trading in the Istanbul Stock Exchange as of 1999 constitute the sample of the study. The findings indicate the presence of a highly concentrated ownership structure in the Turkish market. The results of the regression analyses seem to indicate that the market control (dispersed ownership percentage) influences certain dimensions of performance but not in the expected direction. Market control does not seem to have any disciplinary effects on performance in concentrated companies. Identity of the controlling shareholder seems to have a profound effect on the performance. Controlling shareholders types that operate through a portfolio of other companies seem to have favorable influence on performance. Significant relationship between debt pressure and performance might be indicating the disciplinary pressure of the debt holders. The findings imply a potential disciplinary impact of stakeholders rather than shareholders or market. The study also provides supportive evidence for the impact of context on the relation between ownership and performance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigates the impact of ownership structure (mix and concentrate) on a company's performance and failure in a panel estimation using 167 Jordanian companies during 1989-2006. The empirical evidence in this paper shows that ownership structure and ownership concentration play an important role in the performance and value of Jordanian firms. It shows that inefficiency is related to ownership concentration and to institutional ownership. A negative correlation between ownership concentration and firm's performance both, ROA and Tobin's Q, is found, while there is a positive impact on firm performance MBVR. The research also found that there is a significant negative relationship between government ownership and a firm's accounting performance, while the other ownership structure mixes have significant coefficients only in Tobin's Q using the matched sample. Firm's profitability ROA was negatively and significantly correlated with the fraction of institutional ownership, and positively and significantly related to the market performance measure, MBVR. The result is robust when indicators of both concentration and ownership mix are included in the regressions. The results of this study are, to some extent, inconsistent with previous findings.This paper also used ownership structure to predict the corporate failure. The results suggest that government ownership is negatively related to the likelihood of default. Government ownership decreases the likelihood of default, but has a negative impact on a firm's performance. The results suggest that, in order to increase a firm's performance and decrease the likelihood of default, it is reasonable to reduce government ownership to some extent. Furthermore, a certain degree of ownership concentration is needed to increase the firm's performance and to decrease the firm's chance of default.

This book was released on 2010-07 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Irrespective of the method of privatisation used, ownership has become more concentrated over time in Albanian firms. The underdeveloped corporate governance mechanisms created a primary role for ownership concentration as the main vehicle by which owners could exercise control over managers. The empirical analysis in this thesis shows that certain firm characteristics have a significant impact on the evolution of ownership structure. The analysis on the impact of ownership structure on the performance of privatised firms in Albania do not provide support for the conventional view that ownership concentration has a positive effect on firm performance. However, firm characteristics other than ownership concentration may explain the variation in the performance of these firms suggesting that owners choose the level of concentration which best suits their value maximisation objective. The overall analysis concludes with certain policy implications mostly related to a functional stock exchange, strengthening judicial system and law enforcement and the creation of an agency to maintain information on the financial performance of firms.
