Interview with Reinaldo Solari, interviewed by Andrea Lluch, Santiago, Chile

Mr. Solari outlines the expansion of Falabella in Chile and throughout Latin America, particularly in the retail sector. He talks about the importance of acquiring local businesses and adapting the retail branch of his business to national and regional interests. Mr. Solari also relates the philanthropic work of his group in the education sector in Chile. He believes the success of Falabella is due to a willingness to expand into other sectors, including banking and finance, and the close relationship developed between company employees and their customers as this expansion has taken place.
