DULITZKY, Alejandro. Managerial Careers and Internationalization of Elites: The Study of the CEOs of Transnational Corporations in Argentina during the Last Quarter of the Twentieth Century. Trab. soc. [online]. 2016, n.26, pp.171-192. ISSN 1514-6871.

This article represents a step forward in the knowledge about the business elite in Argentina, and their relationship with the economic transformations that took place during the last quarter of the twentieth century. Specifically, we will study the transformations that took place in the organization of the elite formed by the CEOs of the most important transnational corporations (TNCs) that operated in the country between 1976 and 2001. Based on the study of the careers of these CEOs, we will argue that during the 1990s, it is possible to observe an increment on the degree of internationalization shown by the group in general, with the exception of a small group of CEOs that preserves strong ties with the local environment and, particularly, with the state.

Keywords : Elites; Transnational corporations; Managerial careers; Internationalization; Transnationalization.
