The shareholder’s possibilities of influence in a limited liability company

The study examines shareholders’ possibilities of influence in a limited liability company.

As share ownership has become more widespread with rising living standards, investors’ interest in the operations of companies and in safeguarding their own rights has grown. At the same time, concerning phenomena have emerged — sharp fluctuations in stock exchange prices, hostile takeovers, insider trading, and the concentration of power in banks — which raise the question of how much say shareholders actually have in corporate decision-making.

The starting point of the study is the general perception that a shareholder’s only means of action is to buy or sell shares. The study seeks to examine whether shareholders in fact have other means of influencing corporate decision-making, and if so, what form these take. (AI translation)
