MENDEZ-BELTRAN, Jairo Andrés  and  RIVERA-RODRIGUEZ, Hugo Alberto. Relationship between Corporate Governance and Organizational Positioning: Institutions of Higher Education in Latin America. educ.educ. [online]. 2015, vol.18, n.3, pp.435-455. ISSN 0123-1294.  https://doi.org/10.5294/edu.2015.18.3.4.

This article explores the effect disclosure of corporate governance practices has on the positioning of organizations. The case of 20 Latin American institutions of higher education (IHE) is analyzed according to their QS university ranking. A simple descriptive and correlational methodology was used in the study. The conclusion is that the work of disseminating information on corporate governance by IHE would not be an important determinant for their recognition. This situation goes against what is expressed in the theoretical arguments on corporate governance.

Keywords : Institutions of higher education; school administration; corporate governance models; organizational culture; universities in Latin America.
