Abstract
The aim of this thesis is to explain and predict the relationships between the diverse classes of blockholders and firm performance based on appropriate theories including agency, stewardship and resource dependence theory. The Singapore context provides a unique setting for a developed economy with concentrated ownership, unlike prior studies undertaken in the United States (US) and the United Kingdom (UK), which have relatively dispersed ownership structures.
