Empirical results on ownership concentration by outside blockholders do not support the monitoring hypothesis by these investors. Furthermore, the coordinated behavior of largest two outside blockholders has value increasing (decreasing) impact on firm value when the collective control is located in the lower (higher) range. Coordination problem further exacerbates if the largest two outsiders are private corporate bodies.
