This research attempts to extend the discussion of business groups
in emerging economies by treating business groups as a form of interorganizational
network that generates relational rents among affiliated firms by
creating technological and managerial capabilities. Based on the
relational view, this research investigates whether value created
by business groups depends upon sharing, combining, and exchanging
unique and specific resources or assets among affiliated firms. Results
show that technological capabilities contribute to create relational
rents in terms of affiliated firms' investment in R&D and human capital.
Managerial capabilities also contributed to generating relational
rents through investment in managerial knowledge acquisition for
affiliated firms without R&D units and in training for affiliated
firms with R&D units. However, learning by exporting and learning
from imported input do not yield relational rents within business
groups. Overall, these findings reveal that business groups as interorganizational
networks are contingent on their internal, unique, and specific capabilities,
as social capital theory argues. © Springer Science+Business Media,
