The Relationship

This study develops several models to examine the relationship between the corporate social responsibility (CSR) and the ownership structure of Taiwanese firms. Our results suggest that firms which are controlled by professional managers, government-owned, or collectively-owned would like to undertake serious efforts to integrate the CSR into various aspects of their companies. Due to Asia firm’s culture, family firms might be more reluctant to put efforts on CSR activities. We also report that there is a positive relationship between (a) the CSR and financial performance and (b) the CSR and earnings quality. This study suggests that the ownership structures are found to have effects on the CSR and the CSR could also decrease the information asymmetry between managers and investors.

Dispersed Ownership

The paper empirically explores how firms’ Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) disclosure varies according to their ownership structure. Three different kinds of ownership structures are considered: family firms (FFs), state-owned firms (SOFs) and firms with dispersed ownership (DOFs). It is the first study examining the relationship between CSR disclosure and ownership structure, which includes in the analysis also FFs and SOFs. The analysis is provided on a sample of 192 listed firms with reference to Italy, a suitable setting for the purpose of the study due to the considerable presence of both FFs and SOFs. Firstly, a content analysis on the CSR documents disclosed by the 192 firms is provided and then data are empirically analysed to test whether the ownership structure influences a firm’s CSR disclosure. Results show that FFs and SOFs disclose less CSR information and the explanation can be found in the lower level of agency problems they have to face. The paper contributes to the stream of literature about CSR disclosure, because it argues that the contents of CSR disclosure vary according to firm’s ownership structure and also to those about FFs and SOFs because it shows that the presence of a concentrated ownership lowers the level of CSR information disclosed.

The main purpose of this study is to ascertain whether alternative corporate ownership and control structures give rise to significant differential firm performance in light of Nigeria’s conflicting polices regarding the ownership structure of the state owned enterprises. The data obtained from a sample of 73 companies listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange is analyzed through the Wilcoxon ranks tests for two independent samples. The evidence obtained suggests that firms with foreign ownership and control outperform their indigenous counterparts. However, firms controlled by single shareholders do not perform better than those controlled by multiple shareholders. The study recommends that foreign ownership and control of Nigerian firms be encouraged due to their affirmative features, while single shareholder control of firms, embedded in the core investor mode of ownership, is reconsidered.

Recent empirical literature on corporate governance has demonstrated that companies’ shares are generally concentrated in the hands of particular families or wealthy investors. Claessens et al. (2002) analyzed the ownership structure in East Asian eight countries, but misestimated the Taiwanese condition that made them not find the positive incentive or negative entrenchment effects in Taiwan. This study tries to clear the ultimate control in Taiwan, use the detailed data to better understand the ownership structure in Taiwan and investigates the determinants for deviation of control from cash flow rights. Based on the findings, the companies’ shares are common concentrated in the hands of the largest shareholder. We find that the deviation of control from cash flow rights is greater in the family-controlled companies than other type companies. Also the controlling shareholders use more pyramids and cross shareholding to increase their control rights that accompanies with deeply management participation. On the average, the controlling shareholders hold more than half board seats and usually occupy the chairman and general manger to enhance their control power in family-controlled companies. No matter in all sample or family-controlled companies, the controlling shareholders owns significantly less cash flow rights, occupy more board seats in deviation group companies than those without deviation. Corporate valuation is significantly lower in the companies with the divergence of control from cash flow rights than non-deviation companies.
