description This article aims to analyze the historical influence of the business conglomerates on Ecuador, especially during the period 1965 to 2000. Through the Quivy and Van Campenhoudt methodological process were identified the different theoretical approaches of the conglomerates. Then, the period of study was divided into stages that explain in a historical way how agricultural exporters, traders, industrialists and bankers were getting involved trough pacts and pressures into the Ecuadorian economy and politics. As a result, the conglomerates have had a historical influence on the political and economic areas from the most basic modes of accumulation like the estate. In conclusion, the business conglomerates in Ecuador have been linked to the different civilian and military governments handling in a direct or indirect way, the most vulnerable political and economic moments of the country.

Posiblemente una de las formas organizacionales de mayor predominio son los conglomerados empresariales, por lo que su presencia en Ecuador no es la excepción. En este artículo se identificaron las diferentes aproximaciones teóricas que existen del constructo, posteriormente se dividió al período de estudio en etapas que explican cómo históricamente, agroexportadores, comerciantes, industriales y banqueros, se incorporaban por medio de pactos y presiones en el acontecer diario de la economía y política ecuatoriana, demostrándose que tanto los gobiernos civiles y militares, tomaron decisiones que los protegían y consolidaban. Se concluye que la concentración de capital en Ecuador tiene bases oligopólicas, por lo que las modalidades de acumulación se conformaban sin etapas previas de libre competencia.
