Abstract

[fre] Cette étude, qui porte sur 18 des plus grands groupes industriels français, et repose, pour l'essentiel, sur les données comptables des entreprises, permet d'analyser les spécificités des sociétés appartenant à un groupe par rapport à l'ensemble des secteurs auxquels elles appartiennent. Implantées dans les secteurs les plus capitalistiques, les sociétés des groupes se distinguent au sein même de ces secteurs par l'importance de leurs immobilisations, de leurs investissements et le volume de leurs stocks dont la rotation est d'ailleurs nettement plus lente que dans le reste de l'économie. Bien que l'analyse de la rentabilité à l'intérieur des groupes soit un problème difficile en raison notamment de l'absence de bilans consolidés et de la non-incorporation des résultats des filiales implantées à l'étranger, il semble que la rentabilité apparente des sociétés des groupes, particulièrement dans les biens intermédiaires, soit inférieure à celle de l'ensemble de leur secteur. La prise en compte des sociétés tertiaires des groupes industriels ne relève pas de façon significative la rentabilité apparente globale des groupes étudiés mais permet de mettre en évidence le rôle de pourvoyeur de capitaux pour l'ensemble des groupes joué par ces sociétés intégrées (en particulier les holdings). [eng] An economic and financial study of 18 French industrial groups in 1972 - In this article, the basic characteristics of firms which belong to a group are studied in relation to the overall sectors of which they are a part. 18 major French industrial groups are analysed, primarily on the basis of the accounting data of the firms being considered. Group firms are generally established in the most capitalistic sectors of the economy, but can be distinguished from other firms by the large size of their fixed capital and of their investments, as well as by the volume of their stocks, which rotate at a significantly lower rate than is to be found elsewhere. It is extremely difficult to analyse profitability within groups, primarily on account of the lack of consolidated balance sheets and the fact that foreign-based subsidiaries are not included. However, analysis does suggest that their apparent profitability, particularly in the field of intermediary goods, is inferior to the rate of profitability prevailing in the sector as a whole. Finally, the tertiary firms of groups are analysed. It is shown that, although they do not appreciably raise the apparent overall profitability of the groups being studied, integrated firms of this sort (in particular, holding companies) do play the role of provider of capital for the groups as a whole. [spa] Estudio económico y financiero de 18 grupos industriales franceses en 1972 - Este estudio, el cual abarca 18 de los mayores grupos industriales franceses y estriba, por lo principal, en los datos contables de las empresas facilita un analisis de las peculiaridades de las sociedades pertenecientes a un grupo, con relación al conjunto de los sectores a los que pertenecen. Implantadas en los sectores mas capital isticos, las sociedades de los grupos se diferencian en el propio seno de esos sectores a raiz de la importancia de sus inmovilizaciones, de sus inversiones y del volumen de sus stocks, cuya rotación se verifica sumamente mas lenta que en los demás sectores de la economía. Aunque el analisis de la rentabilidad al interior de los grupos plantea un problema delicado mayormente en consideration a la falta de balances consolidados y a la no incorporación de los resultados de las filiales establecidas en el extranjero, parece ser que la rentabilidad aparente de las sociedades de los grupos, especialmente en bienes intermedios, es inferior a la del conjunto de su sector. Tomar en cuenta las sociedades terciarias no endereza en forma efectiva la aparente rentabilidad global de los grupos examinados mas permite evidenciar el papel de proveedor de capital para el conjunto de los grupos que desempenan las sociedades integradas (especialmente los « holdings »).
