Economic power`s elite in Mexico.

Abstract

We study networks of governance of Mexican companies listed on the BMV with information from the 2010 Annual Reports. We focus on networks formed by boards and shareholders. We study first shapes like “economic group”, a type of network configuration of corporate governance in Mexico defined as “independent group of companies controlled by a small number of large shareholders, usually members of an extended family or a closed circle of associated with links between them”. Secondly we make a global approach to the network, which has the characteristics of inclusive, dense, close, centralized, not diffuse and with a core of shareholders and directors presents in many boards. We tried to break off a set of features related to the mode of regulation of the Mexican economy corresponding to these network configurations.
