Abstract

Although the theme of corporate governance is recent in the country and in the world, familycontrolled companies, medium and large companies, have adopted its mechanisms, especially the establishment of Boards of Directors or Advisory Councils, given the importance that the governance has taken on in academia and business. In this sense a study was conducted in ceramic companies in the industry of São Paulo, privately held, with the aim of identifying the conditions that drive these companies to implement modern corporate governance structures. Semi-structured interviews were used with questions divided into three groups of factors (assumptions), business, family and corporate. The results of the analysis identified the business factors as the main factor, which encourages firms to implement corporate governance structures, followed by family, and then societal factors. It was possible to identify factors such as professionalism and perpetuity main development indicators recently.
