One of the key players in this performance has been the industrial elite, made up of the 100 most important manufacturing companies in the country in terms of sales volume. However, the changes within this group have not been homogeneous, and while sectors such as Chemicals and Plastics and Food, Beverages and Tobacco recorded a fall in their relative weight, the Automotive and Iron and Steel sectors have strongly benefited during these years. In this context, the purpose of this paper is to examine, on the one hand, the transformations registered within the industrial top in terms of its weight in the manufacturing activity and the relative importance of the different branches that compose it; and on the other hand, to provide a characterization of the automotive top and the evolution of its production, its employment generation capacity, the form assumed by the distribution of the surplus generated and its growing linkage and dependence on the external sector. Desde la crisis del 2001, la economía argentina ha registrado tasas anuales de crecimiento promedio del orden del 8% y la economía ha logrado generar más de cuatro millones de puestos de trabajo. Uno de los actores centrales de este desempeño ha sido la cúpula industrial, compuesta por las 100 empresas manufactureras más importantes del país en relación a sus volúmenes de venta. Sin embargo, las trans- formaciones sufridas al interior de dicha cúpula no han sido homogéneas, y mientras sectores como Química y Plásticos y Alimentos, Bebidas y Tabaco registraron una caída en su peso relativo; los sectores Automotriz y Siderurgia se vieron fuertemente beneficiados durante estos años. En este contexto, el propósito del presente trabajo es examinar por un lado, las transformaciones registradas al interior de la cúpula industrial en términos de su peso en la actividad manufacturera y la importancia relativa de las distintas ramas que la componen; y por el otro, brindar una caracterización de la cúpula automotriz y la evolución de su producción, su capacidad de generación de empleo, la forma que asume la distribución del excedente generado y su creciente vinculación y dependencia del sector externo. application/pdf https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/H-ind/article/view/380 spa Centro de Estudios de Historia Económica Argentina y Latinoamericana (CEHEAL) https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/H-ind/article/view/380/694 H-industria.
