“…Bank directorship's detrimental effect on the shareholder wealth as found in this study seems to contrast with Byrd and Hickman(1992)and Cotter et al(1997), which state that independent,outside directors help monitor the bidders or targets and enhance shareholder wealth.However,Japanese bank directors are not independent they represent the interests of shareholders as well as creditors.The results of this study support the argument that Japanese banks may act primarily in the interest of creditors without regard to shareholder wealth,particularly after bank ownership of firms is capped at a lower level due to legal changes which took effect in 1987.The results of this study are also consistent with Boehmer(2000),which investigated bidder returns in Germany,where,like Japan,banks assume an important role in firms'corporate governance,and found that majority control by banks is detrimental.…”

“…If Delaware corporate laws result in better corporate governance, meeting frequency may be higher among Delaware firms. Studies (Weisbach, 1988;Byrd & Hickman, 1992;Brickley, Coles, & Terry, 1994;Borokhovich, Parrino, & Trapani, 1996;and Cotter, Shivdasani, & Zenner, 1997) have documented the monitoring role of outside directors. If higher board activity facilitates better board monitoring, outside directors are likely to demand more board meetings to enhance their abilities to monitor management.…”

“…Como consecuencia, en el ámbito de las tomas de control, dichos mecanismos de control funcionan activamente de cara a la valoración de la empresa y un mejor seguimiento de aquellos da lugar a mayor valoración en el mercado. Este enfoque es defendido por Cotter et al [1997] puesto que consi-artículos PROPIEDAD Y GESTI~N EN EL MERCADO DE CONTROL EMPRESANAL: UN ENFOQUE doctrinaleS dera que un mejor seguimiento de la dirección (a través de un mecanismo interno) supone una mayor motivación para buscar ofertas más altas en las empresas objetivo, con lo cual los mecanismos internos y externos se apoyan mutuamente de cara conseguir una mayor valoración de la empresa. Frente a esta primera hipótesis, se sitúa la hipótesis de sustitución según la cual, las OPA se emprenden ante la ineficiencia de los mecanismos internos, por lo que en estos casos una empresa sufre un proceso de toma de control por motivos disciplinai-ios.…”

“…Además, el incremento del tamaño daría lugar a un menor control directivo, un ' mayor consumo de perquisites, a la realización de proyectos de inversión con valor capital negativo por parte de la dirección y, por tanto, a una menor creación de valor. Por otra parte, de acuerdo con las investigaciones empíricas, en los fenómenos de tomas de control, las empresas con menor tamaño son las que más creación de riqueza manifiestan (véase doctrinaleS PROPIEDAD Y GESTI~N E N EL MERCADO DE CONTROL EMPRESARIAL: UN ENFOQUE Cotter et al, 1997) ya que coinciden con las empresas objetivo [Andrade et al, 20011 (7). Por todo ello, la segunda variable considerada es la variable tamaño (TAM,) que viene medida a través del logaritmo neperiano de los activos totales.…”
