    Este estudio tuvo como objetivo determinar la incidencia de la diversidad del consejo de administración en la implementación de prácticas de cumplimiento en las empresas chilenas. La investigación consideró 1.322 informes sobre Responsabilidad Social y Gobierno Corporativo. Los resultados indican que el grado de adopción de prácticas de cumplimiento se explica parcialmente por la diversidad en la composición de los directorios de las empresas chilenas.

    Asimismo, se demostró que en Chile es necesario que haya mayor preocupación por parte de las autoridades en la implementación de prácticas para la composición de los directorios, y que el cumplimiento es un mecanismo cada vez más presente en el gobierno de las empresas.
