This paper explores the relationship between one of the major aspects of the internal mechanism of corporate governance, i.e., the board of directors, and the corporate strategy of cooperation. The study was designed to investigate whether certain board of director characteristics have an influence on the propensity to cooperate in Spanish listed non-financial firms. Our findings reveal that the propensity to cooperate in Spanish firms is driven more by a tight “management effect” whereby the highest probability of occurrence is related to firms with duality on their boards and a lower proportion of nominee directors representing controlling shareholders. This paper adds evidence to the corporate governance-corporate strategy (alliance propensity) discussion in a continental country such as Spain.

This paper is an initial attempt to use a bibliometric approach for an exhaustive literature review of corporate diversification in order to propose a new comprehensive framework for its study. We conduct an in-depth analysis of the historical evolution of research over the period 1970–2017 in six eight-year stages, shedding light on the main issues in each stage and the links among them using a sample of 1,253 articles. Attention is also paid to the three disciplines in this research stream: Strategic Management, Economics, and Finance. Our analysis reveals how the research on corporate diversification has extended the range of topics addressed and added new theoretical approaches and methodological tools, thereby ensuring greater maturity in its development. Emergent and prevailing research streams are identified, as they are expected to play a key role in the near future. We conclude by recognizing the need for an integrated theory on corporate diversification.

This study analyses the effect that the institutional environment for corporate governance and the economic cycle have on the relationship between the business portfolio restructuring (BPR) strategy and corporate performance. For this purpose, we use institutional theory, incorporating the notion of organizational slack to highlight the differences in firm performance between institutional settings along the different phases of economic cycle. We found that market-oriented corporate governance systems generate, during a period of economic growth, a smaller positive effect of each particular BPR movement on company performance, compared to network-oriented systems. Additionally, market-oriented corporate governance systems contribute to counteract part of the negative effect of the economic crisis. In contrast, network-oriented corporate governance systems are not able to avoid the potentially negative effect of an economic crisis on this relationship, amplifying the negative effect of the economic crisis on performance. We use data from 15 European countries for the period 1998–2015.

This study examines the individual effects of product diversification on performance and the moderating effects of international diversification on the product diversification–performance link in the context of a boom and bust cycle. Most prior research on firm strategies largely neglect the business cycle. We use data on a large sample of Spanish manufacturing firms from 1994 to 2014. In this period, the Spanish economy experienced a boom period (1994–2008) and a bust period involving a severe economic crisis (2009–2014). Our study highlights the important role of each stage of the economic cycle. Specifically, with respect to product diversification, our findings show that in a boom, moderate diversifiers obtain better profitability levels than their highly diverse or limited diversification counterparts do. In contrast, during an economic downturn, moderate and high diversifiers can be equally effective up to some point of optimization. Our findings also reveal a negative and significant effect of internationalization on profitability, independent of the stage of the economic cycle. Product and international diversification are complementary strategies during a period of economic growth when firms opt for moderate levels of product diversification. Meanwhile, when firms choose high levels of product diversification, both types of strategies are complementary during the boom cycle, but substitutive during the bust cycle.

This study analyses the effect of the institutional environment and the business cycle on the relationship between Business Portfolio Restructuring (BPR) strategy and corporate performance. A sample of European firms for the period 2000-2011 has been examined. It is found that BPR has generally a positive influence on firm performance within the European context. However, in continental European countries, characterized by a network- orientated corporate governance system, a contractionary economic phase of the business cycle moderates negatively the relationship BPR-performance. Conversely, in Anglo-Saxon countries characterized by a market-orientated corporate governance system, an economic recession does not affect the BPR-performance relationship. A few causes are explored stemming from the concept of organizational slack on the relative degrees of efficiency of their corporate markets. It seems that the market for corporate control in Anglo-Saxon countries is much more effective as it comes to discipline managers to seek for the maximization of shareholders’ profit.

Resumen Son pocos los estudios que aplican métodos cualitativos y cuantitativos extensivos para abordar la investigación sobre Reestructuración de la Cartera de Negocio (RCN). El objetivo de este trabajo es identificar los principales autores, revistas y estudios que han informado a la plataforma intelectual subyacente a RCN e identificar los temas que más han impactado. En este estudio, las referencias bibliográficas citadas entre 1959 y 2012, se analizan utilizando diferentes técnicas bibliométricas. Se encuentran tres resultados principales: primero, la base intelectual de este campo involucra una literatura multidisciplinaria y multifacética, aunque las disciplinas de finanzas y administración son los principales contribuyentes a la investigación en RCN. En segundo lugar, los autores, las revistas y los documentos se identifican para seguir el marco principal de la reestructuración de la cartera. Finalmente, los principales precursores de esta área de estudio son la estrategia corporativa, las desinversiones, la diversificación y el gobierno corporativo. Este es un estudio que contribuye no sólo en el campo de la gestión estratégica, sino también en el campo de la gestión de la información.

The aim of this paper is to measure the relevance of the institutions in the academic community involved in creating and disseminating knowledge in the field of Management through their position in the collaboration network. This relevance is defined by an original and more comprehensive approach to the analysis of each institution’s importance through degree centrality, as it includes scientific output, while at the same time taking into account the level of collaboration between institutions, as well as the impact of the publications in which each institution is involved. This approach enables us to draw up a ranking of the 103 leading institutions, as well as overcome some of the limitations of prior studies by considering the role each institution plays in the academic community, not only through its scientific output or citations but also through the relationships it forges with other institutions. Our findings confirm the existence of elite groups worldwide that collaborate with other minor institutions, whereas major institutions collaborate less with each other.

Business portfolio restructuring (BPR) has received considerable attention in the fields of management and finance. However, to the best of our knowledge, there are no studies applying extensive qualitative and quantitative methods to BPR research. The aim of the present paper is to fill this gap by presenting the first complete bibliometric review of BPR research. In this work, for the first time, not only the extant literature published between 1993 and 2012 is analysed but also the most cited bibliographic references using bibliometric techniques. In this way, past and present academic contributions are reviewed. Four main results are forthcoming: first, a certain parallelism is found with bibliometric studies in strategic management. Second, the intellectual grounding for this field involves the subjects of economics, management and finance as its principal contributors. Third, the theoretical basis for the study of BPR mainly involves agency theory, transaction cost theory, and the resource-based view. Fourth, the financial crisis of 2008 explains an important part of current research priorities and trends among BPR scholars.
