Abstract

The studies on ownership structure provides us with several testable hypothesis as well as
empirical evidence from different countries. The study describes the main characteristics of
ownership identities of the Turkish manufacturing companies listed on the Istanbul Stock
Exchange (ISE) and examines the impact of ownership identity on performance. The identity of
the owners has implications for their objectives and the way exercise their power, and this is
reflected in company strategy.
A multinomial logit model has been developed to study the effects of different ownership
identities on the selection of performance measurements. The model is then applied to explain the
performance of ownership structure in manufacturing companies in Turkey.

Keywords
