The impact of activist shareholders on corporate governance can be both positive and negative. On one hand, they can contribute to improving transparency, accountability, and decision-making within the company.

Abstract
The activist shareholder is an investor who seeks to exert a significant influence on the strategic and operational decisions of a company in which they hold stakes. The impact of activist shareholders on corporate governance can be both positive and negative. On one hand, they can contribute to improving transparency, accountability, and decision-making within the company. On the other hand, they can also create tensions and conflicts with other stakeholders, such as executives and employees. Our article aims to demonstrate how corporate governance must strike a balance between the interests of activist shareholders and those of other stakeholders, in order to promote effective and sustainable management of the company, as well as the role of activist shareholders in this governance.

Abstract: (french)
L’actionnaire activiste est un investisseur qui cherche à exercer une influence significative sur les décisions stratégiques et opérationnelles d’une entreprise dans laquelle il détient des participations. L’impact de l’actionnaire activiste sur la gouvernance d’entreprise peut être à la fois positif et négatif. D’une part, il peut contribuer à améliorer la transparence, la responsabilité et la prise de décision au sein de l’entreprise. D’autre part, il peut également susciter des tensions et des conflits avec d’autres parties prenantes, comme les dirigeants et les employés. Notre article a pour objet de montrer comment la gouvernance d’entreprise doit trouver cet équilibre entre les intérêts des actionnaires activistes et ceux des autres parties prenantes, afin de favoriser une gestion efficace et durable de l’entreprise ainsi que démontrer le rôle de l’actionnaire activiste dans cette gouvernance.
Author Keywords: actionnaire activiste, investissement, gouvernance d’entreprise, performance d’entreprise.
