Abstract

In this book the authors show that any useful investigation of organization and strategies of firms needs to take the business group as the basic unit of analysis. This premise underpins their analysis of the impact of two structural variables - spatial agglomeration and technology - on firm strategy and organization. Via a new dataset on Italian business groups, specific insighits into the formulation of diversification strategies, location choices made and variances in vertical integration are provided.
