    Las empresas multinegocios se administran desde centros corporativos para generar nuevo valor y disminuir costos. Es probable que la escasez de información en la literatura académica sobre el funcionamiento de los centros corporativos se deba a la dificultad de acceso a las empresas. Por tanto, en este texto se propone un marco de análisis sobre roles corporativos que integra la literatura académica y de consultores. Este marco se contrastó con los resultados de una investigación cualitativa en 21 empresas multinegocios colombianas y se orientó por la pregunta ¿cuáles son los roles desempeñados por los centros corporativos de una empresa multinegocios? Los hallazgos complementan la literatura sobre los roles de los centros corporativos, pues integra las funciones, el tipo de control y el grado de autonomía y cuestiona la tipología presentada.

    Multi-business firms are managed from headquarters to generate new value and to reduce costs. Possibly, the scarcity of information in the academic literature on the operation of headquarters is due to the difficulty of access to companies. Therefore, this text proposes an analytical framework on the roles of headquarters that integrates academic and consultant literature. This framework is contrasted with the results of a qualitative research of 21 Colombian multi-business firms, oriented by the question: What are the roles played by the headquarters of a multi-business firm? The findings complement the literature on roles of headquarters as it integrates the functions, control types and autonomy degree, and it questions the typology presented.
