“…These kinds of market-based advantages can augment the competitiveness of affiliated firms vis-àvis their unaffiliated rivals-and allow them to capture monopolistic or Ricardian rents (Cuervo-Cazurra & Genç, 2011;Peteraf, 1993). The second source of strength stems from political and social connections nurtured over time (Bucheli, Salvaj, & Kim, 2019;Chen & Jaw, 2014;Guillén, 2000;Hu, Cui, & Aulakh, 2019;Mukherjee, Makarius, & Stevens, 2018). BGs may leverage such connections to influence government policy to the benefit of their affiliates (Hu et al, 2019;Mukherjee et al, 2018).…”

BGs may leverage such connections to influence government policy to the benefit of their affiliates (Hu et al, 2019;Mukherjee et al, 2018). Non-market advantages, like access to privileged information, help BG affiliated firms cope with aspects of the institutional environment in which they operate, for example, a weak legal system, and to generate "influence rents" (Ahuja & Yayavaram, 2011) by preempting or manipulating business rules and regulations.…”

“…There has been little attention for the performance aspects of second-level firms such as foreign subsidiaries. This is surprising given the considerable growth in the number of BGs that have been expanding internationally over the last two decades (Bucheli et al, 2019;Gubbi, Aulakh, Ray, Sarkar, & Chittoor, 2010;Kim, Hoskisson, & Lee, 2015;Luo & Tung, 2007;Mukherjee et al, 2018;Purkayastha et al, 2018). BGs are driving globalization in many economies (Holmes et al, 2018) and have benefited from the pro-market reforms in emerging economies (Cuervo-Cazurra, Gaur, & Singh, 2019).…”

“…Finally, strong political and social connections at home can be leveraged by BGs to facilitate internationalization (Mukherjee et al, 2018). The governments of a number of countries, including China, Korea and Indonesia, have openly favored the formation of BGs and nurtured their diversification and their global expansion (Khanna & Yafeh, 2007;Lu, Liu, Wright, & Filatotchev, 2014).…”

Research Summary Business group (BG) affiliation affects the strategic behavior and performance of firms. Until now it has been theoretically unclear and insufficiently empirically tested whether affiliation advantages extend to the foreign subsidiaries of group members. We attempt to determine if they do, and if so, to identify the boundary conditions that matter. We analyze a large panel of 451 foreign subsidiaries of 136 Indian multinational firms over the 2003–2012 period and find that BG affiliation does enhance foreign subsidiary performance when host‐market institutions are weak and when the parent is in manufacturing. Managerial Summary Our research speaks directly to managers of multinational firms who seek to leverage the benefits of BG affiliation across national borders. We show that BG affiliation is only beneficial when the foreign subsidiary is located in a country characterized by weak institutions and when the parent is in manufacturing. If, on the other hand, the foreign subsidiary is in a country with well‐functioning institutions and the parent in services, managers will not be able to count on BG advantages, rather they will have to develop competitive capabilities locally, that is, the foreign subsidiary will have to function more like a standalone firm.

“…These can accelerate their processes in INT more timely and flexibly, especially where industries are predominately service rather than manufacturing and current focus is on advancing technologies and energy bases. Research reveals that internal systems of private sector firms have more qualitative leadership or management than in the public sector (Mukherjee, Makarius and Stevens, 2018). EEs markets more open with sectors increasing commitment to international business, can improve EO-INT relationship through SPM to enhance sophistication and agility with endeavours and outcomes.…”

Firms' strategic flexibility and agility in internationalization (INT) is influenced by context. However, there are few studies concerning INT conducted in and about emerging economies (EEs). There exists a dearth of literature on INT connected to strategic management (SM). Such gaps motivate this research to alleviate needs to further explore entrepreneurial orientation (EO) of owners and managers, their motives for foreign market entry, and effects of the innovation (IVN) and networking (NWG) with firms' INT. It incorporates how strategic project management (SPM) flexibility can enable firms in EEs to be more agile in EO, influencing how they develop INT activities of exporting (EXP) and sales-subsidiary establishment (SSE), to minimize hindrances and improve performance. This is a vital attractive area of research to pursue for the importance of INT and advantages in and for EEs is increasing, and exploration reveals EO elements and enabling factors enhancing INT outcomes. The qualitative approach reviews literature in EO, INT and SPM, and presents a conceptual model with propositions, complemented by enhanced framework. Organization learning theory (OLT) perspective is utilized to better understand EO of firms in and from EEs, leading to effective INT outcomes.Findings and implications are that coordination assists EO, goal and role clarification, for SPM crucial to synergy, promotes agility, effective SM and outcomes, minimizing difficulties as IVN, NWG and learning (LNG) support drivers and mechanisms improving INT performance (Kodama, 2005;Belassi, Kondra and Tukel, 2007;Tomomitsu, Carvalho and Moraes, 2017). This paper contributes to theory and practice further developing EO-SPM-INT relationships, and focusing on SPM and IVN interactions, firms can better coordinate for more effective INT. Researchers and practitioners can benefit from the novel means to improve processes and critical managerial and success factors best integrating SO, SI and results beneficial in EEs' INT.

The effects of business associations in the export–survival relationship: An application to the DOC Rioja wine industry

2023

Much has been said about the role that business associations play in the survival of firms, but little is known about how this influences the relationship between exports and the survival of firms. Considering the diverging theoretical assumptions about the importance of business associations, we hypothesize in this paper on the direct effect of association membership on the survival of firms, and its moderating effect on the export–survival relationship. For Qualified Designation of Origin (DOC) Rioja wineries, we show that both exporting and association membership have a positive effect on the survival of firms, although association membership reduces the positive effect of exports to survive. These results hold up under alternative survival model specifications. The study explores the complex role of associations in the wine industry, which is important to understand in the context of the current COVID‐19 crisis. [EconLit Citations: L25, L66, M16, M21].
