Abstract
The recent systemic crisis that has affected the financial markets and real economies of major industrialized countries has had significant effects on the corporate governance and key organizational choices of large firms. In this context, the present study aims to verify whether the international crisis has significantly changed the structure of the interlocking directorate network that links large firms in the regulated Italian market. Furthermore the paper, which is a development of a preceding research study, also investigates the changes that have occurred in the interpersonal network of directors of the same firms previously observed. To this end, we present a preliminary analysis of the evolution of corporate governance in the main European regulated markets through a dynamic comparison of some synthetic statistical data observed at the end of the years 2006, 2008 and 2010. In the second part, after framing the interlocking directorate concept, we examine the evolution of the interlocking directorate network during the aforementioned observation period (2006-2010) with respect to larger Italian listed companies (FTSE MIB) and their directors
