Abstract

We study the relationships among corporate governance, strategic diversification and financial performance in Mexico. The study uses data from 99 non-financial firms listed in the BMV (Mexican Stock Market) during 2004. The main findings are: Firms which property is concentrated in a principal shareholder focus on the domestic market. Family firms try to diversify their productive activities and sources of income. There are no trends, regarding strategies and performance, related to the separation between ownership and control. Finally, when independent committees exist in the boards of directors, mean-narrow-spectrum diversification is encouraged in the firms.
