“…In particular, business group affiliation (AFF) even has a negative and statistically significant effect on employment growth for large SMEs (Model (4) of Tables ) and especially for those operating in high concentration industries (Model (3) of Table and Model (2) of Table ). These results are in line with the finding that relatively small firms are more likely to benefit from being affiliated with a business group (e.g., Bamiatzi, Cavusgil, Jabbour, & Sinkovics, ), whereas business group affiliation may incur some costs to large affiliates, such as tunneling and cross‐subsidization within business groups (e.g., Chang & Hong, ), especially when they operate in high concentration industries in which they enjoy high profitability and market power.…”

“…As briefly discussed in Section 2.1, the effect of R&D intensity (RDINT) on firm growth varies depending on either the sample or the dependent variable, which would largely be influenced by the nature of R&D (e.g., labor-saving or labor-increasing and product or process R&D) as Piva and Vivarelli (2018) Table 9 and Model (2) of Table 10). These results are in line with the finding that relatively small firms are more likely to benefit from being affiliated with a business group (e.g., Bamiatzi, Cavusgil, Jabbour, & Sinkovics, 2014), whereas business group affiliation may incur some costs to large affiliates, such as tunneling and cross-subsidization within business groups (e.g., Chang & Hong, 2000), especially when they operate in high concentration industries in which they enjoy high profitability and market power.…”

“…LEs as focal firms and hubs pursue strong and long-term cooperation links with local SMEs, acting as sources of financing and technology transfer to regional enterprises (Giunta, Nifo, & Scalera, 2012;Pahnke & Welter, 2019;Schröder, 2013). They are also a source of spin-offs, spin-outs, and business group affiliations that may strengthen the growth and performance of local enterprises (Sornn-Friese & Sørensen, 2005;Klepper, 2006;Kalantaridis et al, 2012;Bamiatzi, 2014). These large "block-buster" or scale-up entrepreneurs bring knowledge spillovers by launching corporate accelerator programmes, by mentoring, board membership, and advisory (Colombo et al, 2019;Mason & Brown, 2014).…”

“…La literatura sobre el papel que puede tener la afiliación de una empresa a grupos empresariales ha sido analizada en aquellos contextos en los que existen imperfecciones del mercado y en los que las empresas, entre otras limitaciones, tienen restricciones en el acceso a determinados factores productivos o en la captación de financiación externa para emprender nuevos proyectos. En tales entornos, como es el caso de economías emergentes o en períodos de crisis, se ha argumentado que la afiliación a grupos empresariales constituye un mecanismo para obtener estabilidad y mitigar las ineficiencias del mercado (Bamiatzi et al, 2014). Además de la teoría de las imperfecciones del mercado, estos autores señalan que, conforme a la teoría de la eficacia organizativa, la afiliación a un grupo empresarial puede tener una relación positiva en la performance porque permite un acceso fácil al capital, así como a otros factores de producción, tangibles e intangibles, que se distribuyen de manera efectiva entre los miembros del grupo de acuerdo a sus necesidades.…”

“…En este sentido, la asignación interna de recursos puede derivar en economías de escala y alcance o en un menor de coste de capital para cada empresa individual, además de aprovecharse del conocimiento del grupo para responder de forma eficaz a las distorsiones en los mercados internacionales y para mejorar su poder en los mercados internos. Ahora bien, la pertenencia a un grupo empresarial también puede conllevar una peor perfomance como consecuencia de los efectos negativos asociados a situaciones de poder monopolístico y de riesgo moral (Morck et al, 2005;Khanna y Yafeh, 2007), así como los derivados del incremento de los costes de transacción o de la ineficiente comunicación en los grupos altamente diversificados o internacionalizados (Bamiatzi et al, 2014).…”
