Abstract :
Recent research shows that business groups matter in developed institutional settings. However, little is known about why business groups influence affiliate performance in such environments. Using a resource dependence lens, we explain how the business group effect may be contingent on a firm's industry environment. Consistent with a resource dependence perspective, our variance decomposition analysis of 3,733 firms in Western Europe (2006–2021) shows that the business group effect is significantly larger in less munificent and more complex industry environments. However, contrary to this perspective, our results also reveal that business groups matter more in less dynamic industry environments. Overall, by examining the importance of the industry environment in explaining how much business groups matter, this paper contributes to a more nuanced understanding of the business group effect in developed markets and provides several directions for future research in this domain.

European Management Review (EMR) is a general management journal, concerned with governance, organization, and behaviour of entities, and their relationship with participants, counterparts, competitors, and contexts. It is distinctively interested in linking (management specialized domains to each other and to the social sciences where they belong); shaping (improvement) and leveraging on the European cultural inheritance in an outreaching spirit (global relevance). EMR's commitment to a fair editorial process and the types of manuscripts considered are described in the Author Guidelines.
