“…We will finish this section by comparing our results for 2011 (as described so far) with our analysis for 1995 33 . This comparison through the course of 15 years will provide us with some idea as to whether relative positions of countries and variables in the process of economic development remain stable through time.…”

“…Not all results will be shown here as this would add much space to this paper. Only the main 33 We also did some comparisons with the differences will be briefly described. Also note that the definitions of variables for IMD, especially those that are based on surveys usually change from time to time and hence comparisons should take that into account when concluding (however, the IMD data used here are extracted from a supposedly consistent recently published time series data basis).…”

“…It is natural that institutions must constantly evolve to respond to changing circumstances (e.g. by protecting property rights), foster creativity, lower transaction costs and encourage the process of creative destruction (Boliari & Topyan, 2007). However, when it is repeated and too much most institutional memories and capacity that was already in place might be lost (Teketay, 2004).…”

The study was conducted in three main eco-regions, namely Bale Mountains, South-West and Semien Eco-Regions in Ethiopia with the following objectives -to: (i) review the current institutional arrangements in terms of rights and responsibilities, planning system, capacity, and motivation of local communities for the management of environmental resources in Ethiopia in general, and the forest sector in particular and (ii) assess constraints for the successful implementation of policies/legislation, strategies, programs, projects and actions at a landscape level. Focus group discussion and semi-structured questionnaires were used to collect data. Purposive sampling method was employed to select respondents. Environmental resources conservation and management (ERCM) institutions considered in this study were agriculture and natural resources, water, irrigation and electricity, land and environmental protection, local administration, and road authorities. Within the above-mentioned institutions a total of 56 questionnaires were administered and 48 interviews were conducted. The results show that the capacity of the existing institutions is constrained by lack of clear rights and responsibilities, absence of common result framework, absence of common planning system, high staff turnover, absence of spatial planners and failure to respond to the demands of community-based organizations. The institutional arrangements need critical review and analyses in order to design responsible institutions for ERCM at all levels, which includes availing knowledgeable and all-rounded professionals at all levels, with proper incentive mechanisms, who would be able to cope with future challenges emanating from climate change and other social tensions.

“…Porúltimo, la dimensión cultural-cognitiva es el conjunto de creencias compartidas que constituyen la naturaleza de la realidad social y los marcos a través del cual el sentido se hace (Scott, 2008). En este sentido, tanto las instituciones formales como las iniciativas del gobierno, las leyes y las instituciones informales como la cultura y la estrategia conforman los antecedentes de la acción mediante la definición de las "reglas del juego" (Boliari y Topyan, 2007). De acuerdo con DiMaggio y Powell (1983), la teoría institucional señala que las empresas tienden a incorporar las normas y reglas externas en sus operaciones y estructuras con el fin de ganar legitimidad y aceptación social a través de la transparencia corporativa.…”

ResumenBajo el enfoque de la teoría institucional, nuestro trabajo realiza un estudio comparativo del nivel de transparencia en gobierno corporativo de empresas cotizadas Latinoamericanas en el periodo de 2004-2010. Por otro lado, identifica aquellos factores institucionales formales que inciden en la transparencia de gobernanza empresarial. Los resultados ponen de manifiesto que el sistema legal, el tamaño y composición del consejo, la presencia del comité de auditoría, el tamaño de la empresa, el nivel de endeudamiento y el sector industrial inciden significativamente en el nivel de transparencia en gobierno corporativo en la región Latinoamericana.
