Abstract:

The objective of this research was to discuss the logic of the collective action of Brazilian industrial entrepreneurs, represented by CNI, in light of the theories that discuss the collective action of organized business groups in Brazil. As research object, we took the Seminar RedIndústria, conducted by the National Confederation of Industry (CNI), in the year 2017. As a research methodology we used the qualitative and quantitative analysis of primary and secondary sources, both documents produced by CNI and literature specialized. We conclude that the industrial entrepreneurs assembled and represented by the RedIndustry Seminar carry out an efficient collective action, insofar as it produces a common legislative agenda of interests, monitors, monitors, and exerts constant pressure on the National Congress through the Legislative Affairs and Management Council Legislative Affairs Executive, both CNI’s political apparatus of pressure on the National Congress. Finally, we find that this process generates efficient responses from the point of view of industrial entrepreneurs about their demands.
