To investigate the influence of ownership concentration on firm performance in Indonesia, multiple linear regression method was performed.
Results – The results of this study is the ownership concentration positively and significantly influences firm performance in Indonesia and it acts as a substitute for shareholder protection.
Research limitations/implications – The samples are only collected from manufacturing industry and does not take into account the shareholder identity.
