Abstract: This article is about the way of combining different governance mechanisms during the decision-making process. In particular, we study the strategic growth of AXA, an insurance group, from 1987 to 1994, and how its manager used mutual-specific governance mechanisms to maintain his discretionary power. We focus on the parent company, a mutual, and on its board of director's membership and its specialization. We also show how important informal mechanisms, like corporate culture and manager networks are for acquiring firms.
