Abstract

Purpose – This paper aims to investigate if existing theories really explain interlocking directorates in several countries. Literature on interlocking directorates is huge and fragmented. Articles in the principal management and sociological journals easily number in the hundred. However, the question that still remains is if interlocking directorates are firm’s strategic choices or derivate phenomenon whose explanation comes from other drivers underestimated in literature. Design/methodology/approach – At the aim to fill literature gap, the authors realize a longitudinal and cross-national analysis of existing studies on interlocking directorates. Findings – The authors investigate if existing literature really explains interlocking directorates. Then, the authors offer new perspective for future researches. Originality/value – The paper offers new perspectives on interlocking directorates’ explanations.
