The agribusiness specialization of argentine business groups during the boom, crisis and exit of the convertibility regime. The cases of Bunge and Pérez Companc

The aim of this paper is to analyze the agribusiness specialization that pursued two of the most important business groups in Argentina during the nineties: Bunge and Pérez Companc. To fulfill this purpose the groups' strategies and performances are reconstructed. These show how their diversified structure was transformed in a specialized one. The paper identifies differences in the paths of both groups linked to the assessments made by their directors during the implementation of structural reforms
