| Sumario: | During the 1990s there was an unprecedented denationalization of the business leaders in Argentina. This process involved the disappearance of many of the most important national economic groups and the advance of transnational corporations. Withdrawal resulted from different strategies carried out by local entrepreneurs to address economic and institutional reforms that were conducted in those years. The article aims to reconstruct the trajectories of three major economic groups disappeared in that period –Gatic, Astra y Soldati- which account for this heterogeneity. In each one of the cases a brief summary of the origins of the group and the followed strategy to cope with structural reforms is exposed, giving especial attention to the factors that caused the sales or the bankruptcies. |
