Abstract

We use a sample of Chinese A-share listed companies from 2008 to 2019 to explore the impact of controlling shareholders’ share pledging on the strategic change. The empirical results show that out of the motive of maintaining control, controlling shareholders’ share pledging intensifies the strategic change. A further study based on economic consequences reveals that the strategic change plays a partial mediating role in the relationship between controlling shareholders’ share pledging and investment inefficiency, which is manifested as that controlling shareholders’ share pledging intensifies the strategic change and increases the level of investment insufficiency. Our study provides empirical evidence on the relationship between the behavior of major shareholders and company strategic change, which has implications for company governance, sustainable development, and investor interest protection.
