Esta Tesis pone el foco en el rol Ejecutivo Principal (EP) de las grandes
compañías en el contexto argentino, con alguna referencia a las empresas
familiares. Se trata de una investigación principalmente cualitativa, cuyo objetivo
es avanzar en el conocimiento de las características y las condiciones de la
respondibilidad del Ejecutivo Principal. Con tal propósito se inspira en la teoría y
la metodología enunciada por el Dr. Elliott Jaques: la Teoría de los Sistemas
Estratificados y la Organización Requerida. No obstante es una versión libre,
pues integra otros autores y métodos.
El estudio aborda la condición de la respondibilidad del rol Ejecutivo Principal,
que permite desplegar la Jerarquía de Respondibilidad Gerencial. Para ello,
considera que el rol Ejecutivo Principal es el dato más importante a tener en
cuenta para inferir las posibilidades de desarrollo futuro de la organización
empresaria.
Los testimonios de los ejecutivos y los expertos, veintidós entrevistados (tres
Presidentes, siete EP, doce expertos y ejecutivos), confirman la necesidad de
introducir el concepto y la práctica de la respondibilidad en las grandes
organizaciones empresarias. En esta perspectiva, se explora: la responsabilidad
del Directorio Requerido y la separación de los roles de Presidente y Ejecutivo
Principal.
Finalmente, el dato empírico ilustra y muestra la correlación positiva entre el
Intervalo Temporal de Discrecionalidad del rol Ejecutivo Principal y, el tamaño de
la empresa, el ámbito de los negocios, y la complejidad del proyecto empresario
