This book engages in the debate on evolution and change of family capitalism. Based on historical analysis and a conjoint effort by management scholars and social scientists, it is a treasure trove of thoroughly researched and prominently recounted stories on the basic components, origins and dynamics of family capitalism. It offers an interdisciplinary perspective on the multifaceted and complex sector of private enterprises in Latin America and Spain.'- Alfredo De Massis, Lancaster University, UK'An impressively original book which provides a wealth of new empirical evidence on the evolution of business and management in Latin America and the Spanish-speaking world. It challenges past generalizations by demonstrating the heterogeneity in the family businesses and business groups of different Spanish-speaking countries.'- Geoffrey Jones, Harvard Business School, USFamily businesses are everywhere, but there is little information regarding their growth and development. This book is one of the few to analyse the identity and evolution of the largest family businesses in Latin America and Spain.With contributions from 20 scholars from 12 different countries, the book compares the relationship of families in business within their national economies, foreign capital, migration, and politics. The authors deny the existence of a 'Latin type' of family capitalism in their countries, and highlight diversity, and national and regional differences.This interdisciplinary book will be useful for students and scholars of economics, management, history, sociology, and anthropology. Politicians, family business consultants, family businesses, and international institutions will also benefit from insights within this book.Contributors: M.I. Barbero, L. Casanova, M. Cerutti, A.D.

This unique book compares the effects of globalization on two differing Latin American countries, Argentina and Chile, while utilizing both the historical lens of the late nineteenth century and the status of the modern economy to draw its conclusions.Focusing on these two eras of globalization, leading business historians based in Europe, Latin America, and the United States examine the impact of multinationals, the growth of business groups, and the conflicted relations between business and government. Specifically, this book provides a compelling new historical perspective on current economic and political crises in Argentina and Chile. The contributors offer a pioneering comparative study of the complex and non-linear impact of globalization, and the evolution of business systems in the two neighboring countries. They draw on literature which had previously only been available in Spanish, setting this book apart from its competitors.The Impact of Globalization on Argentina and Chile will be a valuable resource for economic and business historians, Latin Americanists, and management scholars who research and teach international business and globalization.Contributors: M.I. Barbero, M. Bucheli, G. Islas, G. Jones, N.S. Lanciotti, A. Lluch, A. López, R.M. Miller, O. Muñoz, J.V. Olivares
