Report on the Ownership Structure of Large Finnish Firms

Finnish companies need more active owners and less government ownership. Dispersed ownership results in companies without a master whereas government-owned companies lead to ineffective companies. These are some of the conclusions that Timo Korkeamäki, Pentti Professor of Finance at Hanken, and Ulf Jakobsson, economist, draw in a recent report ordered by the Prime Minister’s Office.

In the recent issue of the Hanken Magazine, Timo Korkeamäki talks about the conclusions he drew together with his colleague when writing the report. You can find the article in the Hanken Magazine Opens in new window .
