Objetivo: Este trabajo tiene como objetivo comprender y analizar el desarrollo de los grandes grupos empresariales, o Grupos Empresariales (BG) en Brasil.
Metodología: El artículo se basa en un análisis histórico centrado en el análisis longitudinal de casos del contexto brasileño para descubrir las trayectorias de desarrollo del BG.
Resultados: El análisis histórico revela que los BG en Brasil se beneficiaron de fallas institucionales, algunas de las cuales se generaron en tiempos de crisis, y supieron aprovechar los arreglos institucionales dinámicos durante las reformas pro-mercado, como el uso de incentivos gubernamentales para apalancar. su participación en el proceso de privatización. Las consecuencias de esta capacidad incluyen el crecimiento acelerado de varios grupos sin necesidad de dispersión de capital y control, y la implementación exitosa de estrategias como la integración vertical mediante adquisiciones.
Originalidad y valor: Al mostrar cómo surgieron y se desarrollaron los BG en Brasil, aprovechando las oportunidades ofrecidas por los acuerdos institucionales locales, el estudio presenta los mecanismos que explican la persistencia del desempeño superior de los BG durante un largo período de tiempo.
