"Más allá de los códigos de buen gobierno"
23 de julio de 2005
Los códigos de buen gobierno deben estimular la transparencia, exigiendo a las empresas que expliquen lo que hacen y expliquen por qué lo hacen. Sin embargo, un código de buen gobierno no es garantía si no va acompañado de un comportamiento ético. Los códigos de buen gobierno no son recetas de validez universal. Deben reflejar unos estándares universales pero deben también tener en cuenta la estructura de propiedad y control de las empresas, el modelo financiero del país o el papel de la bolsa, los bancos y las empresas de capital riesgo.
