Vision tech is a software company based out of san francisco. its stockholders are mostly individual investors and there is relatively little institutional ownership. if several pension and mutual funds were to take large positions in vision tech's stock, would direct shareholder intervention be more or less likely to motivate the firm's management?

With respect to financial performance and position, yes maybe but for other matters not.

Explanation:

The interventions by large institutional investors like Pension and Mutual funds in Vision Tech's case can have a impact on its financial performance and position. If the current business outlook of Vision Tech is weak, the large institutional investors can guide the management on how to improve the business financially in the future, if they have specialization in the sector in which Vision Tech conducts its business. Backed up by funding support and sound guidance, the management can be motivated towards working for better business conditions in the future. However, it all depends upon the good attitude of the promoters and the management towards the organization as a whole rather than taking care of their own self interests.

However, if the matters are like related to society welfare like impact on the environment from the firm's operations or other Corporate Social Responsibility actions, the management is less likely to be motivated. The large institutional investors show on paper that they are concerned with social welfare kind of matters, but in reality they don't even care about it as it doesn't impacts their pocket revenue from the stock.

Even if the accounts are manipulated or deliberately made to look great, the institutional investors in reality may not even care as long as their dividend incomes and stock investment increases are protected.    

answer; /// i believe that the correct answer is (covenant;

you can lose ranking 2 ways.

1) you don't have enough points due to you expending them by asking questions/your answers are deleted.

2) your brainliest's expired. this means that brainliests, once they exceed the 30 day limit, expires. this is to ensure that you continue to contribute into the community at a constant rank if you want to continue to have/exceed the rank you have right now.

if you go to profile, and click "show more information" located on the bottom left of the box with your information (on top of the questions answered, questions asked, and friends), you will be given the following information (example):

member since : 02/13/2017, 18: 11

questions answered: 9741

questions asked: 162

no. of brainliest answers: 1575

brainliest answers in last 30 days: 10

warnings: 0 view

questions/answers reported: 2637

questions/answers incorrectly reported: 64

look at the "brainliest answers in the last 30 days". this is the one that will affect your rank other than your points. again, once your brainliest expires (was earned 31+ days ago), it will not be counted.
