Abstract

The business history in each country has been led largely by entrepreneurial sagas that, accompanied also by luck, were able to find out business oportunities, to risk and to invest during generations. Obviously, everyone was not successful in the long run. Political changes, economic progress and inheritances changed the scenes and forced to reinvent themselves in order to maintain the family empire. The aim of this paper is to analyze the evolution of two of the most important entrepreneurial dynasties in the business history of Galicia before the Civil War. Their strategies in the long run allow to analyze the different paths that led to consolidate each family empire and to understand the peculiar ways of negotiating in Spain during monarchic Restoration.
