Resumen
Con el fin de proponer un modelo de gobierno corporativo para empresas latinoamericanas familiares y no familiares, se estudió y analizó códigos de gobierno corporativo de catorce países, encontrandó que solo dos hacen referencia a empresas familiares: Brasil y Colombia. La mayoría de códigos están dirigidos a empresas que cotizan en la bolsa, dejando a un lado las empresas familiares, pequeñas, medianas y grandes empresas, que hacen una gran contribución en la economía de un país. Se encontró una gran diferencia entre los códigos de gobierno según la estructura empresarial del país: i) hay países donde los dueños delegan la mayoría de sus responsabilidades a la Junta Directiva, como Estados Unidos, Australia y Reino Unido; ii) países donde los dueños se involucran fuertemente en el gobierno corporativo, como Japón y México; y iii) países que tienen un nivel medio de delegación. Estos últimos dividos así: a) países que no delegan las responsabilidades de los dueños como la auditoría y nominación de los miembros de junta, por ejemplo, Noruega y Alemania; y b) países donde se delega a la Junta Directiva, la auditoria y/o nominación de miembros de junta. Se hace una propuesta académica para con el fin de encontrar el equilibrio de poderes basado en la cultura y tradición en la ley civil latinoamericana donde los dueños tienen responsabilidades no delegables como la auditoría y nominación de miembros de junta.
