After the collapse of its Convertibility regime, Argentina registered average growth rates on the order of 8% year-on-year for the period 2002-2009, generating more than four million jobs. In this process, one of the key participants has been the country's business leadership which has consolidated its determining role within the local process of capital accumulation. Within this framework, the aim of the present study is to analyze, on the one hand, the main characteristics of Argentina's business leaders in the post-Convertibility period and given the relevance this sector has acquired in the present recovery, the most salient elements of the industrial leaders. On the other hand, it examines to what extent the role performed by these large companies has favored the country's economic development by studying its influence in generating value, employment, and their impact on income distribution.

Palabras llave : business leadership; economic development; Argentina.
