This research group focuses on the study of the characteristics, structure, processes and incentive systems of the management bodies of companies, and their relationship with the strategies they use, as well as with the results of the organisations. The research team that makes up this group specialises in competitive and corporate strategy, as well as in the approaches of top management teams (Upper Echelons), Corporate Governance, and sustainable competitiveness (i.e. the balance between competitiveness, survival and Corporate Social Responsibility in a broad sense). In the field of strategy, this research group has carried out multiple research projects on competitive strategy (strategy clock and competitive positioning), strategic orientation of organisations, internationalisation strategies, diversification strategies, entry modes, mergers and acquisitions, strategic alliances, etc. These works have been published in both national and international academic journals, with considerable weight being given to those in the main international lists of research journals (i.e. JCR, Scopus, etc.). Since 2002, much of this work has focused on the fundamental role of management teams...This research group focuses on the study of the characteristics, structure, processes and incentive systems of the management bodies of companies, and their relationship with the strategies they use, as well as with the results of the organisations. The research team that makes up this group specialises in competitive and corporate strategy, as well as in the approaches of top management teams (Upper Echelons), Corporate Governance, and sustainable competitiveness (i.e. the balance between competitiveness, survival and Corporate Social Responsibility in a broad sense). In the field of strategy, this research group has carried out multiple research projects on competitive strategy (strategy clock and competitive positioning), strategic orientation of organisations, internationalisation strategies, diversification strategies, entry modes, mergers and acquisitions, strategic alliances, etc. These works have been published in both national and international academic journals, with considerable weight being given to those in the main international lists of research journals (i.e. JCR, Scopus, etc.). Since 2002, much of this work has focused on the fundamental role of management teams and governing bodies in defining strategies and in the disposition of certain attitudes that are reflected in strategic decision-making. Market orientation, proactive, innovative and risk-taking orientation, open-mindedness, acceptance of change, self-confidence, optimism, complacency, globally responsible attitudes, ethics or personalistic and particularistic approaches are areas of interest in the research. Among the aspects considered in relation to management teams and governing bodies, this research group pays attention to team composition, diversity, power and participation structure, hierarchical and horizontal role distribution, interaction processes, cognitive and affective conflict, shared values, incentive systems, as well as demographic and psycho-sociological characteristics of specific members of executvie management, such as General Management or certain functional or divisional managers. Both antecedents and consequences of the above-mentioned variables and the relationships between them are of interest to us. With regard to the effects of these relationships on organisational performance, attention is paid to aspects such as competitiveness (profitability, growth, solvency, survival), reputation, value creation, etc. Our research is mainly carried out through the execution of competitive research projects, financed by the Generalitat Valenciana (Valencian Government) and the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness, among others. However, this research group maintains close contact with the economic-business context, and carries out technical advice, training, diagnosis and technical studies and reports aimed at the practical application of our line of work.
