| description | In this article the origins and basis of Colombian entrepreneurship since 1850 are examined and a number of their main features are outlined within the framework of Latin American entrepreneurship. The article draws on Colombian business historiography which, as in the case of Latin America as a whole, shows an increase in output and quality since early 1990s. An overview of its evolution is portrayed. The features of Colombian entrepreneurship dealt with are: its regional basis in this, a «country of regions» with natural resources, social and cultural differentiation; a pattern of high business and investment diversification; the role of land as a means of accumulation; and the important entrepreneurial performance of immigrants in this «non-immigrants land». These traits constitute a legacy whose positive and negative aspects may be critically scrutinized through theoretically oriented business history research. In this perspective, some useful theoretical inputs are outlined. |

An Approach to its Main Features El empresariado colombiano (1850-2010) ¿microcosmos del empresariado latinoamericano? Una aproximación a sus características Dávila L. de Guevara, Carlos In this article the origins and basis of Colombian entrepreneurship since 1850 are examined and a number of their main features are outlined within the framework of Latin American entrepreneurship. The article draws on Colombian business historiography which, as in the case of Latin America as a whole, shows an increase in output and quality since early 1990s. An overview of its evolution is portrayed. The features of Colombian entrepreneurship dealt with are: its regional basis in this, a «country of regions» with natural resources, social and cultural differentiation; a pattern of high business and investment diversification; the role of land as a means of accumulation; and the important entrepreneurial performance of immigrants in this «non-immigrants land». These traits constitute a legacy whose positive and negative aspects may be critically scrutinized through theoretically oriented business history research. In this perspective, some useful theoretical inputs are outlined. En este artículo se examinan el origen y las bases del empresariado colombiano desde mediados del siglo XIX y se delinean algunos de sus rasgos en el marco del empresariado latinoamericano del que forma parte. El trabajo está basado en la historiografía empresarial que en Colombia, como en Latinoamérica en conjunto, muestra un notorio crecimiento en volumen y calidad desde comienzos de la década de 1990 y cuya evolución se esboza. Los rasgos del empresariado que se tratan son: su base regional en un «país de regiones», en las cuales la dotación de recursos, estructura social y cultura son diferenciadas; el patrón de alta diversificación de sus negocios e inversiones; la posesión de la tierra como base de acumulación; y el destacado papel empresarial de los escasos inmigrantes que se aventuraron en esta non-immigrants land. La conjunción de estas características le ha dejado al empresariado actual un legado que contiene tanto elementos positivos como negativos que pueden analizarse de manera crítica mediante la investigación en historia empresarial, anclada en avances teóricos de diferentes disciplinas que contribuyen a ella y que se delinean en el artículo. 2012-03-24 2022-03-17T18:48:08Z 2022-03-17T18:48:08Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://revistas.up.edu.pe/index.php/apuntes/article/view/645 10.21678/apuntes.70.645 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/52976 spa https://revistas.up.edu.pe/index.php/apuntes/article/view/645/645 Derechos de autor 2017 Apuntes application/pdf Universidad del Pacífico Apuntes.
