Resumen

Las redes de directores han sido objeto de muchos estudios que exploran sus consecuencias tales como la colaboración de recursos, transmisión de prácticas, decisiones financieras, reducción de la incertidumbre, control, reputación e intereses individuales. Sin embargo, aún no existe un consenso acerca de lo que estas redes de directorios realmente hacen para las empresas y el camino que sigue su investigación. Este estudio realizó una revisión extensa de 75 artículos (desde 1969 hasta 2018) enfocados en estas redes y propone dos categorías y cuatro subcategorías de acuerdo a sus resultados para las empresas. Se encontró que la mayor contribución para las empresas se enfoca en la descripción de la estructura de la red y en los resultados de control, mostrando diferencia entre la investigación de Norteamérica y otras regiones, dando luz acerca de lo que hacen estas redes para las empresas. Se identificó también que los efectos de difusión, la globalización y la colusión requieren más atención.
