    Ownership governance practices and their influence on family businesses financial performance
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2020-05-15) Betancourt Ramirez, Jose Bernardo; Avolio Alecchi, Beatrice Elcira
    Ownership was usually a system implicitly assumed in the dynamics of company management, but it deserved more attention than a periodic control in the yearly general shareholder´s assembly. Empowerment of owners was required given the magnitude of decisions made in terms of capital and business purpose, and not just delegating it to the Board or the CEO. Despite the relevance of the topic, a gap was identified in the literature of corporate governance in family business from the ownership dimension. This longitudinal study used a quantitative approach with an explanatory scope that which sought to answer the question: Do shareholders corporate governance practices and family control influence financial performance on businesses? 104 public companies were analyzed and 36.5% of them were identified as family businesses, data were used from National Registry of Values and Issuers, which also responded the country Code 'survey of Colombia in the period 2008 to 2014. Data was processed with Student's t test and Random Effects analysis as a panel data technique. Results shown that family and non-family businesses had significant differences in ownership governance practices, but no significant relationship were identified between corporate governance practices of shareholders or family control with financial performance. The theoretical contribution to the areas of corporate governance and family business was to opening a new scenario for the study of ownership governance; the practical contribution was giving rise to the design of a model of practices for shareholders, where they develop a more active role in terms of capital and strategy decisions that exceeded the decision limits of the Board of Directors; Finally, a contribution in public policy was created by supporting the need to highlight corporate governance practices at the owners level, with models that differentiate Family Business and others.

    Corporate social responsibility practices and performance: the moderating effect of family control
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2020-05-14) Alzate Gómez, Juan Diego; Marquina Feldman, Percy Samoel
    Companies face pressures of legitimacy and social acceptance in the markets where they operate (Yang, Su, & Fam, 2012). These pressures are accentuated by new trends in sustainable development (Bonsón & Bednárová, 2015; Caravedo, 2011; Vives & Peinado- Vara, 2011). In this sense, corporate social responsibility (CSR) has become a valuable tool for companies in their search for legitimacy and recognition on the part of society. Understanding the relationship between CSR and economic performance enables companies to adopt practices based on complementarity between economic, social and environmental aspects that help improve their interests together with those of their stakeholders (Valenzuela, Jara-Bertin, & Villegas, 2015). In contexts characterized by a high degree of ownership concentration, such as the Colombian case, understanding this relationship can help family businesses increase their legitimacy and economic performance (Lindgreen, Swaen, & Johnston, 2009). The purpose of this descriptive-quantitative study was twofold. On the one hand, it seeks to determine the relationship between the implementation of CSR practices and economic performance. On the other, it seeks to identify the effect of family control on the CSR-Performance relationship. For this, we studied a sample of 55 companies listed on the stock exchange of Colombia during the period 2010-2017. The analysis was performed with multiple regression models estimated from the GMM method. Three findings are highlighted: (a) No evidence was found about a relationship between the family character and the adoption of CSR practices; (b) Evidence was found on a direct relationship between the adoption of CSR practices and economic performance; and (c) the family character does not influence the CSR-Performance relationship.
