“…On the other hand, there are a few empirical studies that reveal a negative effect from a strong brand on a company's financial results. For example, Woodwell 2013 Second, it is believed that participation in business associations can be considered a formal expression of firm cooperation that illustrates external economies of scale (Kingsbury and Hayter, 2006). In their literature review, Sambasivan, et al (2012) explain the motives for networks such as the reduction of transaction costs, an easier means of obtaining resources, and the transfer of knowledge and technologies.…”

This paper aims to contribute to the body of empirical studies that address the importance of investments in companies' relationships and the way in which they influence value creation in the global economic crisis. We employ linear panel analysis using the Hausman-Taylor model to analyse panel data for companies from the five largest European countries in the period 2004-2011. Different types of exogenous and endogenous links which a company could have in different stages of the crisis are investigated. The findings suggest that there is a statistically significant and positive link between relational capital and a firm's value. Moreover, we identify several differences in the significance of the inputs during different crisis periods. The study provides both theoretical and practical insights into investments in intangibles for framing strategy decisions with a particular focus on the role of relational capital. This could provide scholars and practitioners with a working basis for understanding connections and the implications of strategizing in the context of a company's networks.

“…By collectively developing and maintaining infrastructure, BAs can take advantage of external economies of scale without having to give up their autonomy (Kingsbury − Hayter, 2006). This allows them to reduce their costs, leading to higher economic rent.…”

This article provides a review of the literature on business associations (BAs) in line with the following questions: (1) What are the economic roles of BAs, (2) How are BAs institutionalized, and (3) What drives BAs to engage in socially beneficial or harmful activities? Challenging the popular distinction between beneficial, market-supporting and harmful, rent-seeking (lobbying) goals of BAs, we demonstrate that there are three major economic roles of BAs, all of which can involve activities linked to the private order and the public order, and all of which can be socially beneficial or harmful. We also challenge the proposition that institutional strength is needed for BAs to fulfil beneficial economic roles, highlighting that BAs have three main institutional functions, and the level of institutionalization of each of the functions can be different in relation to their beneficial economic roles. We suggest that whether BAs tend toward engage in in socially beneficial or harmful activities depends on their private-order and publicorder institutional limitations.

“…La Asociatividad, según Cervilla (2007) es un "mecanismo de cooperación entre empresas pequeñas y medianas donde cada empresa decide participar voluntariamente con los otros participantes para la búsqueda de un objetivo común" (p. 230). Ante la situación económica que está viviendo la población vulnerable, es importante llegar a esta asociatividad empresarial, teniendo en cuenta que para Kingsbury y Hayter (2006) esta es "la cooperación directa e implícita a través de canales informales, las relaciones bilaterales y multinacionales directas con otras empresas como proveedores, compradores y el estado" (p. 596). Estos mismos autores establecen que la asociatividad es vista como un modelo que permite "la implementación de estrategias colectivas y de carácter voluntario con el fin de alcanzar niveles de competitividad".…”

El trabajo se desarrolló a través de una metodología cualitativa implementando un análisis documental. La información fue recopilada y subdividida en temas como estudios sobre población vulnerable, estrategias de negocios y asociatividad. La revisión destaca los estudios más representativos en los diferentes contextos y que fueron tomados como guía metodológica. Se concluye que deben ejecutarse estrategias empresariales enfocadas en la asociatividad, especialmente en ideas de emprendimientos para mejorar la calidad socioeconómica de la población.
