The Nature of Diversified Business Groups: A Research Design and Two Case Studies

Ghemawat, Pankaj, Khanna, Tarun·1998·The Journal of Industrial Economics

Abstract

Diversified business groups dominate the private sectors of most of the world’s economies. Several of these economies have undergone sudden policy changes that significantly increase domestic competitive intensity. We demonstrate how the changes in corporate scope that accompany such “competitive shocks” can be used to weigh the importance of different explanations for the existence of diversified business groups. We illustrate our reasoning by studying the restructuring of two of India’s largest business groups following a comprehensive post‐1991 package of policy reforms. The case studies also elucidate aspects of the restructuring process that should inform larger‐sample empirical analyses.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
