| Summary: | This study attempts to examine the relationship between level of diversification and
board ownership using bivariate correlation analysis. It further analyses using partial
correlation analysis if any of the selected variables act as a common cause variable that
correlates level of diversification and firm performance and develop a final estimated

Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchanges (KLSE). Only concentration of ownership and degree of
shareholders' control shows significant positive correlation. In the multiple regression

of firm performance but with a small R square |
