We examine how interlocking directorates influence innovation performance differentials between firms. Our study offers a new perspective of the effect of interlocking directorate ties upon innovation performance, focusing on network effects on interfirm performance. Using a sample of China’s listed companies for the period 2012–2016, we empirically examined the relationship between board interlocks and interfirm innovation performance differentials. The results demonstrate that the presence of board interlocks reduces interfirm innovation performance differentials and leads to a convergence of innovation performance between the connected companies. Furthermore, cross-level analysis found that the relationship between board interlocks and interfirm innovation performance differentials is moderated by the interfirm industry attributes and demographic characteristics of the board. This study expands the existing research in explaining the driving mechanism of enterprise innovation performance as affected by interlocking directorate ties.

La presente investigación mapea las redes de las élites empresariales y políticas en México para comprender la organización social y la capacidad de influencia de las élites mexicanas, y abrir vías de investigación sobre las élites de poder en México. En primer lugar, se realiza un estudio de la cohesión interna de las élites empresariales mediante un análisis de redes de interlocking directorates y enlaces de propiedad. En segundo lugar, se examinan varios casos de puertas giratorias mediante un análisis prosopográfico de biografías y trayectorias. Los resultados revelan que las élites empresariales mexicanas están cohesionadas y que existe un grupo de individuos que fluctúan entre el sector público y el privado. Además, la combinación de ambos análisis muestra que las empresas o grupos económicos con acceso al Estado vía puertas giratorias son empresas bien conectadas en la red de interlocking directorates. Estos resultados sugieren la emergencia de una clase dominante público-privada en México.

This paper investigates the simultaneous participation of directors in different companies from 320 Brazilian listed firms in 2003 and 2005. We identify which firms are connected through a network of directors, which corporate characteristics contribute to this phenomenon, and if board interlocking influences firm value and operational performance. The results show that interlocking directorates are a common practice in Brazil. Besides, larger boards, more dispersed ownership structures, and larger firm size are factors associated with a high level of board interlocking. Moreover, we find that firm value is, on average, negatively impacted by higher levels of board interlocking, especially on firms with board of directors considered too busy (those in which a majority of directors hold three or more directorships) or on firms where their CEO hold directorships in other companies. Besides being a pioneer work on this field in Latin America, the paper provides subsides for the preparation of good corporate governance practices from regulators regarding the effectiveness of multiple directorships and its consequences for corporate value.
