Case studies of three industrial and two service enterprises (including the privatizing and reprivatizing of one of them) are analyzed: Compania de Acero del Pacifico (CAP); Celulosa Arauco y Constitution, S.A. (CAYC); Empresa Nacional de Electricidad (ENDESA); Banco de Chile (BCH); Compania de Telefonos de Chile (CTC). UR - https://doi.org/10.18235/0012352 ER -
