Family Business Groups in India: A Resource-Based View of the Emerging Trends
运用资源基础观,研究印度九个家族企业集团在自由化环境中的战略调整,提出并检验了关于业务组合重组、组织变革和引入专业人才的六个假设,并识别出五种新兴趋势。
Following the lead of Habbershon and Williams (1999), this paper uses the resource-based view of firms to understand the strategic responses of nine family groups to the more liberalized environment in India's emerging economy. Using the concepts and empirical findings in the resource-based view (RBV) stream of literature, this manuscript offers six hypotheses related to the restructure of business portfolios, structural changes within organizations, and the induction of professional family and nonfamily members. I also identify five emerging trends in the responses and use them to test the hypotheses. Data from published sources indicates a high degree of support for the hypotheses. The manuscript also shows how the resource-based view of the firm provides an excellent theoretical framework for understanding and interpreting these responses and suggests directions for further research.
