Abstract

La investigación de la cual se deriva el presente documento identifica cómo en un contexto de conflicto armado el Grupo Empresarial Antioqueno (GEA) actuó estratégicamente durante 1978 y 2012. Para ello se indagaron teóricamente tres conceptos: respuestas estratégicas a partir de la relación organización-entorno, qué son conglomerados empresariales y las características del conglomerado analizado (GEA). Por medio de un análisis cualitativo, se llevó a cabo la revisión bibliográfica de eventos sociopolíticos (conflicto armado) en Colombia y se identificaron las estrategias por parte del GEA frente a este entorno. Como resultado, se propone una matriz de análisis de respuestas estratégicas de los empresarios frente a un entorno de conflicto armado. Este análisis permitió concluir que el GEA tuvo una gran injerencia en el plano político, y de esta manera logró capacidad de acción como conglomerado e impactó los demás ámbitos de la sociedad colombiana. ****** The research project in which this paper is grounded describes the strategic actions undertaken by the Business Group of Antioquia (the GEA Group) within the context of an armed conflict from 1978 to 2012. For these purposes, three concepts were theoretically examined: strategic responses based on the organization–environment relation, the definition of business conglomerates, and the characteristics of the conglomerate studied (the GEA Group). As part of a qualitative analysis, a literature review of socio-political events (armed conflict) in Colombia was conducted, identifying the strategies developed by the GEA Group for this environment. The study proposes an assessment matrix of the strategic responses from the business group against the armed conflict environment. Based on this analysis, the GEA Group exerted a large influence in the political sphere, being able to act as a conglomerate and impacting other areas of Colombian society. ****** A investigacao a partir da qual este documento é derivado descreve como, em um contexto de conflito armado, o Grupo Empresarial Antioqueno (GEA) atuou estrategicamente entre 1978 a 2012. Tres conceitos foram teoricamente investigados: respostas estratégicas baseadas na relacao organizacao-ambiente, o que sao conglomerados empresariais e as características do conglom- erado analisado (GEA). Por meio de uma análise qualitativa, foi realizada a revisao bibliográfica de eventos sociopolíticos (conflitos armados) na Colombia e identificadas as estratégias do GEA nesse ambiente. Como resultado, uma matriz de análise de respostas estratégicas de empresários contra um ambiente de conflito armado é proposta. Essa análise nos permitiu concluir que o GEA apresen- tou uma grande interferencia na esfera política e, dessa forma, alcancou a capacidade de atuar como um conglomerado e impactou as demais áreas da sociedade colombiana.
