Previous issue date: 2012-03-30 / The city of Santa Cruz do Sul, in the central region of Rio Grande do Sul, was structured on an economic base that allowed the emergence of business people who acted as an economic elite until 1966. The corpus that delimits the study involves the owners and shareholders of the 76 businesses selected in a news report celebrating the 100th anniversary of the city. The story was published in April 1947, and includes 189 individuals who controlled entrepreneurial activities during the three phases of the development of Santa Cruz: Settlement (1849-1878); Village (1879-1905); City (1906-1947). First, the thesis presents the formation of the businesspeople, who were of German extraction, discussing economic, political and religious aspects of Santa Cruz do Sul. In a second step we characterize the local economic elite through a prosopographic study of the 189 entrepreneurs who began mercantile activities in the context of sttlement, village and city, to visualize the dynamics of the group over time, using the religious factor as the guiding element in crossmatching the data. Thirdly we discuss the construction of the social network through case studies concerning patrimonial composition, marital ties and transmission of social, entrepreneurial and political capital in different contexts of the action of this elite, be it in the settlement, village or city. As a fourth step we look at the social network structured by the local businesspeople based on two large companies: the Caixa Cooperativa de Cr?dito Santa-Cruzense (Santa Cruz Cooperative Credit Savings Bank), later called Banco Agr?cola Mercantil S/A., (Mercantile Agricultural Bank), the largest private bank in Rio Grande do Sul, and the Companhia de Fumos Santa Cruz S/A, the largest cigarette manufacturer in the south of Brazil. We analyze the composition and construction of the social network of these two companies to visualize the close relationship between financial capital and tobacco-based capital in the city. The biographic sources used were obituaries, locally published biographies and inventories in many different archives. The entrepreneurial sources comprised 25, 50 and 100-year old monographies which were elaborated by local businesses, financial balance sheets and articles written for advertisement purposes. The research was done at the Center for Historical Documentation at the University of Santa Cruz do Sul, the Public Archive of Rio Grande do Sul, the Historical Archive of Rio Grande do Sul, the Archive of the City Council of Santa Cruz do Sul and the archive of the main city newspaper, housed in the Grupo de Comunica??o Gazeta do Sul. / A forma??o de Santa Cruz do Sul, cidade da regi?o central do Rio Grande do Sul, implicou a estrutura??o de uma base econ?mica que permitiu a emerg?ncia de empres?rios que atuaram como elite local at? 1966. Tomando como corpus delimitador da pesquisa os propriet?rios e acionistas das 76 empresas selecionadas numa reportagem comemorativa dos 100 anos de forma??o da cidade, publicada em abril de 1947, chegamos ao n?mero de 189 indiv?duos que controlavam as atividades empresariais nas tr?s fases da evolu??o de Santa Cruz: Col?nia (1849-1878); Vila (1879-1905); Cidade (1906-1947). A presente tese apresenta, num primeiro momento, a forma??o do empresariado de origem alem?, abordando aspectos econ?micos, pol?ticos e religiosos de Santa Cruz do Sul; num segundo momento, caracterizamos a elite econ?mica local atrav?s de um estudo prosopogr?fico dos 189 empres?rios que atuaram nesse espa?o, numa perspectiva comparada entre os que iniciaram as atividades mercantis no contexto da col?nia, vila e cidade para visualizar a din?mica do grupo no tempo, tendo o fator religioso como elemento norteador no cruzamento dos dados; num terceiro momento, abordamos a constru??o da rede social atrav?s de estudos de caso sobre a composi??o patrimonial, v?nculos matrimoniais e transmiss?o de capital social, empresarial e pol?tico em diferentes contextos de atua??o dessa elite, seja na col?nia, vila ou cidade; num quarto momento, abordamos a rede social estruturada pelo empresariado local a partir de duas grandes firmas: a Caixa Cooperativa de Cr?dito Santa-Cruzense, futuro Banco Agr?cola Mercantil S/A., o maior banco privado do Rio Grande do Sul, e a Companhia de Fumos Santa Cruz S/A., a maior ind?stria de cigarros da regi?o sul do Brasil. Analisaremos a composi??o e a constru??o da rede social dessas duas firmas, para visualizar a estreita rela??o entre o capital financeiro e fumageiro da cidade. As fontes biogr?ficas foram constitu?das por necrol?gios, biografias editadas localmente e invent?rios nos mais variados arquivos. As fontes empresariais foram constitu?das por monografias de 25, 50 e 100 anos que foram elaboradas pelas empresas locais, balan?os financeiros e artigos publicit?rios. Os locais de pesquisa foram o Centro de Documenta??o Hist?rica da Universidade de Santa Cruz do Sul, o Arquivo P?blico do Rio Grande do Sul, o Arquivo Hist?rico do Rio Grande do Sul, o Arquivo da C?mara de Vereadores de Santa Cruz do Sul e o arquivo do principal jornal da cidade, localizado no Grupo de Comunica??o Gazeta do Sul.
