- The Cousiño-Goyenechea Family (1810-1940): Rise and fall of a chilean family business4 Juan Ricardo Nazer Manuel Llorca-Jaña Juan Navarrete-Montalvo Lengua y Literatura Chile Cousiño Goyenechea family business developing economies This article makes a contribution to the study of family groups in developing econo- mies by analysing the case of the Cousiño-Goyenechea business, one of the most im- portant business groups in nineteenth-century Chile. We provide new evidence of how the Cousiño’s original fortune was built, and how after being highly concentrated in copper and silver mining, the family business successfully diversified and integrated vertically through two generations, thus becoming the second most important eco- nomic group in the country by the end of the 19 th century. This was the result of risky business decisions, particularly after deciding to enter coal mining under much uncer - tainty, modernising this industry, as well as expanding into copper refining, brick and glass manufacturing, hydroelectric power plants, and wine production. However, their success was also due to a clever strategy of capital increase by creating corporations linked to the group. 2017 artículo científico 0716-1840 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=32854633004 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=328 Atenea application/pdf Universidad de Concepción Atenea (Chile) Num.516
