Abstract
CHAVARIN RODRIGUEZ, Rubén. Los grupos económicos en México a partir de una tipología de arquitectura y gobierno corporativos. Una revisión de sus explicaciones teóricas. El trimestre econ [online]. 2011, vol.78, n.309, pp.193-234. ISSN 2448-718X.
This paper develops a typology of corporate architecture and corporate governance in order to analyze the Mexican Business Groups. The typology helps understand: 1) the evolution of Mexican business networks towards a centralized coordination of the firms, and 2) how changes in some features of corporate governance have tended to preserve a state of few counterweights to the decisions of majority shareholders. Moreover, this paper presents a survey that provides a set of possible explanations for the formation and operation of Business Groups. This review helps assess the analytical advantages of a socioeconomic approach that conceives these business networks as a consequence of sociocultural, institutional, and economic factors, which provides a theoretical basis for understanding the historical persistence of this business system in Mexico and other countries.
