Este artigo compara as trajetórias de crescimento da General Electric e da Westinghouse por mais de doze décadas. Enquanto a General Electric desfrutou crescimento e existência continuados, a Westinghouse cresceu, mas também sofreu contração por três décadas e desapareceu após 110 anos de existência. A análise comparativa revelou que, afora as capacitações comparáveis no desenvolvimento de alta tecnologia, as duas empresas diferiam em vários aspectos. Elas desempenharam papéis desiguais na estruturação do setor elétrico e enfrentaram os desafios do aumento do tamanho de maneiras bem distintas. A análise histórica indica que a General Electric tendeu a desenvolver capacitações gerenciais que aumentaram suas chances de perpetuar-se. Já a Westinghouse, durante a maior parte do tempo, desenvolveu propensão à autodestruição. Palavras-chaves: crescimento da firma; longevidade organizacional; traços organizacionais; estudo histórico; indústria elétrica norte-americana. ABSTRACT The paper compares the growth trajectories of General Electric and Westinghouse during twelve decennia. While General Electric has enjoyed a continuing growth and a continued existence, Westinghouse grew but also experienced a three-decades long contraction and disappeared after 110 years of existence. The comparative analysis has revealed that apart from comparable capabilities in the development of high technology, the two firms differed in several respects. They played different roles in the structuring of the electrical industry and faced the challenges of increasing size in very distinct ways. Historical analysis suggests that General Electric has tended to develop managerial capabilities that have enhanced its chances of becoming self-perpetuating. Westinghouse, on the other hand, more often than not developed certain propensity for self-destruction.
