Abstract
Following the Berle-Means thesis ( 1932) which implies that diffuse ownership adversely affects finn pe1jonnance, diverse researches have been carried out to obtain an empirical evidence to support or nullify their position. This work, seeks to find out whether the ownership structure of Nigerian finns results in systematic variations in their pe1jormance. For the purpose of this study, ownership structure was classified as inside or managerial ownership and outside ownership (those who are not directly involved in management). The objective of the study is to ascertain the influence of each of the classification onfirm 's pe1jonnance. The hypotheses were tested using datafor 20 Nigerian firms listed on the NSE. Empirical findings suggest that whereas a high level of inside ownership negatively but significantly relates to higher firms' performance, outside ownership was found to be positively and significantly related to firm performance
