Abstract

We connect business group research with literature on competitive repertoire—a firm’s portfolio of actions that characterize its strategy—to examine the influence of business group affiliation on firm strategy. We theorize that access to a larger stock and a broad range of resources, both within the firm and through the business group network, enables affiliate firms to execute a higher number (competitive repertoire intensity) and a wider variety (competitive repertoire complexity) of competitive actions. Our analysis of a sample of Indian firms during 2009–2017 supports our hypotheses. In supplementary analyses, we find that business group characteristics—size and affiliate intra-group position—positively influence competitive repertoire. We also find that competitive repertoire intensity mediates affiliation-firm performance relationship. Our findings enhance our understanding of business groups by establishing the link between affiliation-firm strategy-performance. Our work also extends research on network-based and ownership-based antecedents of competitive repertoire. We discuss these implications in detail.

商业集团隶属关系和竞争剧目

我们将企业集团研究与有关竞争剧目的文献联系在一起--企业的行动组合是其战略的特征--研究企业集团关联对企业战略的影响。我们的理论是，无论是在企业内部还是通过企业集团网络，关联企业都能获得更大的存量和更广泛的资源，从而能够实施更多数量（竞争剧目强度）和更广泛种类（竞争剧目复杂性）的竞争行动。我们对 2009-2017 年印度企业样本的分析支持了我们的假设。在补充分析中，我们发现企业集团的特征--规模和关联公司在集团内的地位--对竞争剧目有积极影响。我们还发现，竞争剧目强度对关联关系与企业绩效之间的关系具有中介作用。我们的研究结果通过建立关联关系与企业战略绩效之间的联系，加深了我们对企业集团的理解。我们的研究还扩展了基于网络和所有权的竞争剧目前因研究。我们将详细讨论这些影响。

期刊介绍： The Asia Pacific Journal of Management publishes original manuscripts on management and organizational research in the Asia Pacific region, encompassing Pacific Rim countries and mainland Asia. APJM focuses on the extent to which each manuscript addresses matters that pertain to the most fundamental question: “What determines organization success?” The major academic disciplines that we cover include entrepreneurship, human resource management, international business, organizational behavior, and strategic management. However, manuscripts that belong to other well-established disciplines such as accounting, economics, finance, marketing, and operations generally do not fall into the scope of APJM. We endeavor to be the major vehicle for exchange of ideas and research among management scholars within or interested in the broadly defined Asia Pacific region.Key features include: Rigor - maintained through strict review processes, high quality global reviewers, and Editorial Advisory and Review Boards comprising prominent researchers from many countries. Relevance - maintained by its focus on key management and organizational trends in the region. Uniqueness - being the first and most prominent management journal published in and about the fastest growing region in the world.
