The global financial crisis evidenced weaknesses in companies’ risk management systems and sparked interest on how corporate risk management should be practiced. Following the tenets of the stakeholder–agency theory, this research analyzes whether external pressures are the major driving force behind ERM implementation. Survey data were used to test the influence of five variables (quotation on the NYSE, industry membership, firm size, belonging to the IBEX-35 index and risk level) that may be associated with the extent to which Spanish listed firms face external pressures to implement ERM. Empirical evidence seems to suggest that external pressures, from stakeholders, could exert some influence on ERM implementation, but other factors may play a part in the firms’ decision to implement ERM. Opposed to previous research’s results, this study found a remarkable absence of evidence about the influence of firm size on ERM implementation. This study’s findings contribute to the understanding on the determinants of ERM implementation across different institutional contexts and could serve as a starting point for future research into this field focusing on other countries with economic or cultural characteristics similar to Spain. This study enriches the current knowledge about the drivers of ERM implementation by providing data from a context with characteristics distinct from most previously analyzed countries.

企业外部风险管理是否始终受到外部压力的影响?西班牙上市公司的证据

全球金融危机证明了公司风险管理系统的弱点,并引发了人们对如何实施公司风险管理的兴趣。按照利益相关者-代理理论的宗旨,本研究分析了外部压力是否是实施企业风险管理的主要推动力。调查数据用于测试五个变量的影响(报价对纽约证券交易所,行业会员资格,公司规模,属于IBEX-35指数和风险水平),这些变量可能与西班牙上市公司面临外部压力的程度有关。实施企业风险管理。经验证据似乎表明,来自利益相关者的外部压力可能会对企业风险管理的实施产生一些影响,但其他因素可能会在企业实施企业风险管理的决策中发挥作用。与先前的研究结果相反,这项研究发现,关于公司规模对企业风险管理实施的影响的证据极少。这项研究的发现有助于人们了解在不同制度背景下实施企业风险管理的决定因素,并且可以作为该领域未来研究的起点,重点关注具有类似于西班牙的经济或文化特征的其他国家。这项研究通过提供具有与大多数先前分析的国家不同的特征的背景数据,丰富了有关ERM实施驱动因素的最新知识。这项研究的发现有助于人们了解在不同制度背景下实施企业风险管理的决定因素,并且可以作为该领域未来研究的起点,重点关注具有类似于西班牙的经济或文化特征的其他国家。这项研究通过提供具有与大多数先前分析的国家不同的特征的背景数据,丰富了有关ERM实施驱动因素的最新知识。这项研究的发现有助于人们了解在不同制度背景下实施企业风险管理的决定因素,并且可以作为该领域未来研究的起点,重点关注具有类似于西班牙的经济或文化特征的其他国家。这项研究通过提供具有与大多数先前分析的国家不同的特征的背景数据,丰富了有关ERM实施驱动因素的最新知识。
