Propuesta metodológica para la adopción de la norma ecuatoriana para el buen gobierno corporativo del sector de la construcción en la ciudad de Guayaquil.

Abstract

The Ecuadorian Standard for Good Corporate Governance is an initiative promoted by the Superintendency of Companies, with the purpose that companies such as Construction Companies promote the use of good governance, control and risk practices, considering that these are mostly family-type companies or family members participate in positions of responsibility, causing situations such as: (a) conflicts of interest, (b) confusion of roles and power, (c) lack of management supervision, and other situations due to weak control and risk management . The purpose of the research was to investigate situations that would influence the adoption of a methodological proposal to incorporate the Standard, selecting three types of designs: (a) observational, (b) prospective, and (c) cross-sectional. The designs in conjunction with the descriptive research allowed to denote that the Corporate Governance applied in construction companies is basic and limited by inefficient governance, control and risk management. The factors that would influence its application are: (a) lack of legal obligation, (b) organizational culture, (c) counseling costs, (d) awareness, (e) resistance to change, and (f) ignorance. However, the Standard promotes various benefits that will affect reputational, economic and competitiveness levels, in addition to the mitigation of organizational problems, therefore, the methodological proposal consists of four phases: (a) planning, (b) execution of the adoption, (c) supervision and (d) corrective actions wich will allow the adoption and compliance of the components and principles that make up the aforementioned Standard.
