Diffused ownership boosts firm value, challenges traditional performance beliefs.
The article explores how ownership structure affects the performance of mid-sized Indian companies. Some argue that having many owners can harm a company's performance, while others believe it can actually help. Previous studies have shown mixed results. One study found that having a board of directors own between 0% and 5% of a company's shares can improve performance, but having ownership between 5% and 25% can have a negative impact. Ownership above 25% was again linked to better performance.
