Ideas
Business groups in the West. Diversified business groups rose with the Second Industrial Revolution and adapted to changing markets and institutions in the most advanced economies. Caveat: An edited volume, read in its abstract only; the abstract of its opening chapter supports only the claims about co-evolution and viability.
Network-type and hierarchy-type business groups. With Colpan, sorted business groups under an alliance principle and an authority principle, dividing the hierarchy type into diversified and pyramidal groups. Caveat: A handbook chapter. Only its abstract and section outline were read, not its definitions.
In this section, “read” means read by the Organizational Structures series: where a line says a work, or part of one, was not read, the series did not read it.
