Consejo de administración, Estructura de la propiedad, Transparencia, Accionariado familiar, LatinoaméricaResumen
El objetivo del trabajo consistió en obtener evidencia empírica de la relación entre la estructura del consejo de administración y la composición de la propiedad, y el nivel de transparencia de gobierno corporativo en empresas de mayor cotización bursátil en Latinoamérica. Para esto se realizó una investigación de tipo correlacional con un análisis longitudinal utilizando datos de las empresas de mayor cotización bursátil en Argentina, Brasil, Chile y México, durante el periodo 2004-2010. A partir de lo anterior, los resultados ponen de manifiesto que el nivel de transparencia es más elevado en empresas con consejos de administración de mayor tamaño y con un porcentaje mayor de consejeros independientes. Por su parte, la concentración de la propiedad inhibe el nivel de transparencia en el gobierno corporativo, mientras que la presencia familiar en el accionariado motiva a una mayor divulgación de información corporativa.
