Abstract
(en) Contrasting with the traditional profit-maximizing economic theory of the firm, where managerial discretion is unimportant, there is a growing body of U.S. economic studies suggesting first, that the large corporation is characterized by a wide dispersion of stock ownership implying a separation of ownership and control; secondly, that the shift in control from owners to managers leads to a firm's policies and performance conflicting with stockholders interests.
