Item type:Publication, Board interlocks’ reported benefits and drawbacks : A sustainability perspective(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Departamento Académico de Ciencias de la Gestión, 2021-03-31)Current global sustainability concerns call for urgent solutions through the collective effort of government and organizational actors, since they are at the front of sustainable policy and strategy development. Within a corporate context, board interlocks may represent an innovative way to overcome some of the traditional constraints associated with the incorporation of sustainability practices within firms. Nevertheless, the efficiency of these efforts depends on the sustainability objectives set out by firms. This paper argues that interlocking directorates can be a valuable governance mechanism for disseminating and implementing sustainability practices within organizations as well as for achieving strategic sustainable development goals. However, this capacity is limited by the size and diversity of board members, as well as by the sectors in which interlocked directors operate. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Sharing the risk at expense of power : Paying wages in equity to face the COVID-19(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Departamento Académico de Ciencias de la Gestión, 2020-11-26)This paper aims to discuss which basic implications firms need to be aware of if they decide to include equity shares as a part of salary payments in order for them to tackle financial risks due to the COVID-19 crisis, benefiting with better liquidity. We discuss this alternative from the strand of potential financial benefits, but also include a power perspective, emphasizing how firms could share with employees their decision-making processes as well as a part of their position of traditional hegemony. We concluded that firms’ decision regarding this financial alternative fits into a short-term benefit and at the same time threats a long run position of power.
