  • Diversification Strategies of Large Business Groups in the Philippines
    Philippine Management Review 2013, Vol. 20, 65‐82. Diversification Strategies of Large Business Groups in the Philippines Ben Paul B. Gutierrez and Rafael A. Rodriguez* University of the Philippines, College of Business Administration, Diliman, Quezon City 1101, Philippines This paper describes the diversification strategies of 11 major Philippine business groups. First, it reviews the benefits and drawbacks of related and unrelated diversification from the literature. Then, it describes the forms of diversification being pursued by some of the large Philippine business groups. The paper ends with possible explanations for the patterns of diversification observed in these Philippine business groups and identifies directions for future research. Keywords: related diversification, unrelated diversification, Philippine business groups 1 Introduction This paper will describe the recent diversification strategies of 11 business groups in the Philippines. There are various definitions of business groups but in this paper, these are clusters of legally distinct firms with a managerial relationship, usually by virtue of common ownership. The focus on business groups rather than on individual firms has to do with the way that business firms in the Philippines are organized and managed. Businesses that are controlled and managed by essentially the same set of principal owners are often organized as separate corporations, not as separate divisions within the same firm, as is often the case in American corporations like General Electric, Procter and Gamble, or General Motors (Echanis, 2009). Moreover, studies on emerging markets have pointed out that business groups often occupy dominant positions in the business landscape in markets like India, Korea, Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines (Khanna & Palepu, 1997; Khanna & Yafeh, 2007).

  • Corporate Governance Issues in Philippine-Listed Companies
    Philippine Management Review 2019, Vol. 26, 1-16. Corporate Governance Issues in Philippine-Listed Companies Arthur S. Cayanan* University of the Philippines, Cesar E.A. Virata School of Business, Diliman, Quezon City 1101, Philippines This paper discusses corporate governance issues in Philippine-listed companies such as ownership structure, separation of Chairman and CEO positions, independent directors, related party transactions, among others, and how non-controlling stockholders are adversely affected by these issues. The paper also assesses the sufficiency of existing rules and regulations and the effectiveness of regulators in protecting minority interest. 1 Introduction Corporate Governance is defined as the system of stewardship and control to guide organizations in fulfilling their long-term economic, moral, legal and social obligations towards their stakeholders.1 On November 10, 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved the Code of Corporate Governance for Publicly-Listed Companies (CG Code for PLCs).2 The Code provides a list of the governance responsibilities of the board of directors (BOD), corporate disclosure policies, standards for the selection of external auditor, and duties to stockholders, among others. In this paper, emphasis will be on ownership structure, the positions of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) being held by separate individuals, the independence of independent directors, some related party transactions, and how these issues affect the interest of non-controlling stockholders.3 2 Objectives This study has the following objectives: 1. To assess some corporate governance practices of the 30 Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi) PSEi-indexed stocks, e.g., ownership structure, different individuals holding the positions of the chairman of the BOD and CEO, related party transactions, and tender offers.
