Abstract

This is an outspoken and positive examination of shareholder-board relationships which goes straight to the heart of the main issues. Barry Barker sees no way in the near future by which the percentage of institutional shareholdings will not increase. Shareholders are seen as mere investors who trade in a paper market and occasionally provide funds. This is even more evident on the continent where bearer shares are widespread and the cumbersome business of registration is reduced to a minimum.
