Abstract
Entre 1932 y 1942 operó en Chile la Editorial Ercilla. Su ingreso al mercado editorial vino acompañado de un considerable
aumento en la producción de libros, modernización y adquisición de nuevas maquinarias, así como el establecimiento de un circuito
de traslado y venta de libros desconocido para el mercado chileno. Este artículo analiza la transformación empresarial de la Editorial
Ercilla. A partir de informes, publicaciones y memorias, se examinan las ideas que motivaron al directorio para transformar su
empresa de una Sociedad de Responsabilidad Limitada a una Sociedad Anónima. El artículo identifica tres momentos centrales
en el desarrollo empresarial de la editorial: la estructura administrativa en sus inicios, la posterior búsqueda de inversionistas para
satisfacer la creciente demanda de libros en Chile, y los problemas laborares, crediticios y de competencia que causaron la quiebra.
