    Structure analysis of the corporate network of interlocking directorates in Peru
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2020-11-11) Córdova Espinoza, Miguel Ignacio; Salvaj Carrera, Erica Helena
    There is little knowledge about informal power structures and how they have influenced corporate governance and organizational behavior in Latin America. Firms’ directors tend to establish informal mechanisms for control and influence, creating ties with other firms by sitting on their boards. These corporate connections are called Interlocking Directorates (IDs). Trying to adapt with the environment and to changes, firms create IDs for different reasons. As a result, business agents develop unique national power structures. This study is focused on an extended literature review related to IDs, analyzing the structure of the Peruvian corporate network of IDs, and its evolution through four periods under analysis: 2000, 2005, 2010, and 2015. The sample includes 5,591 registers (board sits), 2,689 directors, and 298 different firms distributed over the four periods previously mentioned. The study uses centrality measures, UCINET 6.0, and NetDraw in order to analyze the main structure of the Peruvian corporate network and its participants’ characteristics within. The study’s main finding suggests the existence of an evolving Peruvian corporate network of large firms connected through IDs. In addition, the research results provide evidence that this Peruvian corporate network of IDs would be resilient to global economic crises, while being more sensitive to local political crises. Another important findings suggest that its participants changed their roles over time, and that the 1990s privatization process allows for a growing Peruvian business elite of directors. Finally, paths for further research are also proposed.
