Abstract Hedge fund activists have ambiguous relationships with the institutional shareholders in their target firms. While some support their activities, others counter their actions. Due to their relatively small holdings in target firms, activists typically need the cooperation of other institutional shareholders that are willing to influence the activists’ campaign success. We find the presence of “activism-friendly” institutions as owners is associated with an increased probability of being a target, higher long-term stock returns, and higher operating performance. Overall, we provide evidence suggesting the composition of a firm’s ownership has significant effects on hedge fund activists’ decisions and outcomes.

The Creation

The Competition Commission of India approved India’s highest-valued acquisition, Flipkart by Walmart, within the first phase of investigation itself, stating that it is “not likely to have an appreciable adverse effect on competition in India.” Unlike many other retail acquisitions, there has been strong protest from the traders and retailers’ organization to stop the deal and for the creation of an exclusive e-commerce policy and regulator. Meanwhile, the Draft National E-Commerce Policy, 2018, suggested greater regulatory scrutiny for mergers and acquisitions that may distort competition. In this context, the present study looked into the competition dimension of the deal and other related issues. The study suggests to evolve a regulatory system with long-term vision to sustain and support the domestically grown innovations while making the competition assessment more flexible to accommodate the challenges posed by digital revolution.

Subject Financing sources for Russian companies. Significance Low investment rates in the last three years have led to substantial fixed asset deterioration. Russian companies are trying to make better use of existing assets instead of renewing productive capacity, and the main source of investment is their own funds. Impacts As EU and US sanctions persist, Russia will strive to boost domestic capital markets. Prolonged low investment will restrict economic growth prospects for the medium-to-long term. Insufficient investment will limit productivity and undermine product competitiveness. Signs of economic recovery may boost mergers and acquisitions.
