paper intends to bring together and evaluate the key studies that shed light on the phenomenon, either conceptually or empirically, and help us qualify and attenuate the
expectations.

The theme is very topical and a lot of progress is excpected in this area in the next few yearsboth from practical application and from social science research. Nokia's idea crowdsourding team is looking forward to the shared learning journey with the audience of this report.

We examine resource dependence (i.e. power asymmetries) and agency (i.e. information asymmetries) in ownership networks and highlight the conditions under which ownership networks provide resources for firm growth through investments. Using Russian panel data, we find that when public institutions do not support information disclosure and contract enforcement, controlling owners may compensate by setting up networks that facilitate the exchange of resources and alignment of interests. When power asymmetries arising from controlling ownership are pronounced, firms can reduce information asymmetries among shareholders by committing to transparency and disclosure practices, or multiple major shareholders can discipline one another. Agency costs can thus be mitigated by “monitoring the monitor.”
