      Why Investors React Negatively to Companies That Put Women on Their Boards

      Fall of the Ivory Tower: Controlled Companies and Shareholder Activism

      Despite longstanding complaints about governance and the tyranny of a few who may or may not hold a meaningful economic interest in the company they founded and/or now control, investors have continued to allocate to controlled or quasi-controlled companies. What has changed is that minority shareholders are no longer content to sit quietly and go along for the ride, increasingly demonstrating they are willing to pull on the few levers of activism and change available at these companies...
