  • The Internationalization of the Argentine Company Siderca
    Management as an Entrepreneurial Activity: The Internationalization of the Argentine Company Siderca 109 Management as an Entrepreneurial Activity: The Internationalization of the Argentine Company Siderca (1960-1996) Claudio Castro* Aesial, Facultad de Ciencias Económicas, Universidad de Buenos Aires, Argentina Management as an Entrepreneurial Activity: The Internationalization of the Argentine Company Siderca (1960-1996) Abstract This paper analyzes and explains the process of internationalization of an Argentine company that produces seamless pipes. Siderca initiated its activities during the import substitution phase in Argentina and later achieved international market leadership. The explanation for this breakthrough onto the global stage is to be found in the arrival of a new and young group of middle managers who were promoted from within the corporation. This pattern is consistent with the literature on the role of middle management in the design and implementation of strategic change. The transformations in this company also influenced the rest of the activities of the Techint Group.

SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2020 4. TERNIUM CHAIRMAN'S LETTER In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic spread across the world affecting the economy and multiple aspects of our lives, as well as changing established paradigms. Latin America has been particularly affected and, as in many other regions of the world, we are still far from overcoming the virus and its devastating effects. Nevertheless, the recovery in the global economy over the past months, centered on demand for manufactured goods, and Ternium’s position as a major supplier for industrial products within the USMCA regional trade area, has fueled demand for its products in Mexico and resulted in an exceptional environment for steel prices. The challenge posed by the pandemic involved every aspect of our business and affected all our employees, yet, at the same time, it has been an opportunity to test the resilience of our long-term management focus and the sustainability of our company. We had to adopt new safety protocols to assure the safety of all persons entering our plants and offices, to adjust production while minimizing labor cost inefficiencies as demand fell and employees deemed at risk could not come to work, to provide support for the medical systems in many of our communities, to find new ways of meeting customer commitments, to change the way we work and communicate, all while ensuring the financial stability of our company.

  • The Apolitical Politics of Classical Music: the Mozarteum Argentino Under the Dictatorship of 1976–1983
    Buch, Esteban. 2021. The Apolitical Politics of Classical Music: The Mozarteum Argentino under the Dictatorship of 1976–1983. Latin American Research Review 56(2), pp. 484–499. DOI: https://doi.org/10.25222/larr.968 LITERATURE AND CULTURAL STUDIES The Apolitical Politics of Classical Music: The Mozarteum Argentino under the Dictatorship of 1976–1983 Esteban Buch École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, Paris, FR [email protected] During the almost constant political turmoil of the 1970s up to Raúl Alfonsín’s election in 1983, classical music in Buenos Aires was arguably one of the most stable domains of cultural life in Argentina. If this applies to public institutions such as the Teatro Colón, it is even truer of private concert associations like the Mozarteum Argentino, whose president Jeannette Arata de Erize remained in charge from 1955 until her death in 2013. Under the dictatorship of 1976– 1983, the Mozarteum concerts were supported by leading economic groups like Techint, whose CEO, Roberto Rocca, was a member of the board of directors, as was the minister of Economy, José Alfredo Martínez de Hoz. Politics, though, were totally absent from the association’s life. This apoliticism, derived from the Romantic era, strengthened the cohesion of the upper classes while converging with the alleged apolitical nature of the military regime itself. En medio de la crisis política casi permanente que va de comienzos de los años setenta a la elección de Raúl Alfonsín en 1983, la música clásica en Buenos Aires fue probablemente uno de los ámbitos más estables de la vida cultural argentina.
