It's not that they're small-time in the corporate world. They are massive, and across all the constituent families they make products and services for the financial elite and the regular masses alike. It's just that the highest-ranking members we've seen have only been in charge of single facilities or small slices of fledgling empires. They don't care about the damage they do to cultures and nature in their quest for personal wealth and recognition.
But they do answer to their investors, both within and beyond the Magog Cartel. Oktigi are a big financial family or families, but so far we've only seen Sekto, who's still at the low level of industry management. As a group they're not part of the Cartel, but individuals can be members. A high-ranking investor doesn't just damage the world as a byproduct of their operations; they deliberately engineer damage to the world that will serve their power-seeking interests. But that's harder to fight against because they're not public-facing like corporations and CEOs. They keep themselves far away from public scrutiny, operating through disposable corporate-level pawns.
Then there's the creepy fuckers a level above them. They don't just keep their business secrets, they're keeping their very existence known only to the elites. Then there are their masters. I don't know if that's even the top.

Wil, circa 2002:
Working in close association with the Chroniclers, the Glukkons are a very low grade family. While other corporations on Oddworld may choose to develop high-quality delicacies and elegant transport, the Cartel would rather serve up fattening fast foods and supply dirty mechanical equipment. I imagine that only the lower-class Khanzumerz, if such a thing exists, would dare be seen purchasing goods from the Magog Cartel. However, this doesn't stop their products from being very popular, even if the companies behind them aren't.

Also that is actually very interesting <3
Oddworld companies and communities seem to be species based/ clan based, so I'm guessing there isn't really a big amount of intermingling between species when there doesn't have to be? More than that though, I know glukkons are a superspecies, and gloktigi are part of that superspecies, however they fact that they appear to be less evolved, parasitic even, surely means that they would be lower down the rungs of business? How come then, that they are apparently answerable to by glukkons within the Magog Cartel? How did they become part of this management-financing role?
e: does any of that actually make sense?
