Answer to Problem 1DQ

The reason behind the increasing sensitivity of corporate management to the wishes of large institutional investors is the fear of shareholders using their voting rights against the management during merger or takeover meetings.

Explanation of Solution

Large institutional investors are the shareholders of a company with voting rights. The sensitivity and inclination of corporate management toward them primarily arises out of fear of the misuse of voting rights.

For example, if shareholders remain unsatisfied with the operations of the management and the returns of the company, they might use their voting rights to defenestrate the current management or may vote in favour of a corporate raider causing the intentional and hostile takeover of the company.
