English term or phrase: taking big positions and agitating for change
Hedge funds exacerbated the shift to small stocks. In 1982 they were minor players. But they took off in the late '90s and especially during this decade. Their superior information-gathering allows them to spot profit opportunities in small companies that aren't widely followed. The ability of so-called activist hedge funds to transform small companies by taking big positions and agitating for change has been another lure. Perhaps most important, hedge fund traders are trend followers, traveling in packs into and out of asset classes. Right now the trend favors small stocks. "If you were to stick a gun to my head," says Bear Stearns' O'Shaughnessy, "I'd say small caps will keep beating for 20 years."

Chinese translation:购买大量股票后鼓动变化
Explanation:
It typically means these hedge funds purchase big percentages of shares in the small company, and then demand changes that fit their own agenda.

Since they typically acquire a major stake in the company, whatever changes they want to make usually get passed by the board and get implemented.
