Este trabajo presenta un estudio comparativo entre dos firmas industriales, SIAM Di Tella y Winco SA. Particularmente se analizan determinantes que condujeron a la crisis de ambas empresas y su paso al control estatal en el transcurso de los años sesenta y primeros setenta. El estudio destaca los cambios organizacionales y las lógicas de conducción empresaria, las estrategias productivas, los problemas financieros y los vínculos establecidos entre los empresarios y el Estado. También las cambiantes condiciones macroeconómicas de la Argentina reclaman parte de la explicación de la crisis de ambas empresas. Los hallazgos del método comparativo permiten visualizar trayectorias empresariales divergentes pero un mismo resultado final: el traspaso de ambas empresas a manos del Estado. Una vez bajo control estatal ambas empresas fueron sostenidas financieramente durante años con el sólo propósito de evitar la quiebra y el conflicto social que ello acarrearía. El análisis de estos factores permite explorar las complejas y en ocasiones traumáticas relaciones que se perfilan entre la dinámica empresaria y los cambiantes ambientes institucionales y económicos a nivel nacional.
