Calculating shareholder influence
Article Abstract:
It is generally accepted that the value of shareholding is determined by its degree of influence. Influence, in turn, is a function of the level of the shareholding as a percentage of the total share in issue and of the income and voting rights of the shares held. The challenge in calculating shareholder influence is measuring the degrees of influence of other shareholdings in the company. Because of the difficulty of this task, most practitioners and their counterpart in the Inland Revenue approach share valuations by simply using rules of thumb and their intuition. It is proposed that shareholder valuation can be injected with some degree of mathematical precision by using computerization and the mathematics of game theory.
