Abstract

A taxonomy of corporate governance structures based on equity and debt financial interest is offered as an alternative to the conventional emphasis on ownership concentration. Hypotheses on the association between the proposed governance structures and the strategic variable of diversification are formulated and tested on a sample of 73 large Swedish corporations. The theory explains significantly a tiny bit of the variance in diversification, something the conventional theory limited to ownership structure considerations was unable to do.
