Active investors and management turnover following unsuccessful control contests
Article Abstract:
External investors looking for takeover targets stimulate internal control monitoring in target companies and successful takeovers often result in restructuring and management turnover. Turnovers, which usually occur in targets with poor performance, characterize successful takeovers by outside investors to improve the target's performance while takeovers by investors affiliated with incumbent managers rarely result in management turnovers. Even when unsuccessful, hostile takeover attempts stimulate targets to improve their performance.
