Abstract
In Chapters 3 and 4 we were concerned with describing the principal strategies of the Central American business groups in terms of sector shifts, alliance formation, and international expansion. In this and the following chapter we will approach the question of the development impact of those strategies on the respective country’s economy. In the present chapter, we will focus on one specific and important strategy of internationalization: the export activities of DBG-affiliated firms, which represents one aspect of the development impact of the groups’ strategies.
