Abstract: Abstract This study examines the effects of firm resources on entrepreneur subsidiaries of business groups. Resource-based theory is the foundation for understanding how resource endowment drives firm growth as well as its effect on entrepreneur subsidiaries’ performance. With the growth strategy of business groups as the focus herein, our empirical research includes multi-level analysis and robustness analysis of the top 300 business groups in Taiwan and their 10,028 entrepreneur subsidiaries. The results from hierarchical linear modeling show that entrepreneur subsidiaries’ resources positively affect their performance. Business groups’ resources and growth strategy also positively impact their performance, thus confirming the multi-level phenomena. This study offers a practical contribution for business groups to have a better understanding of the applicability of a firm’s resources and for entrepreneur subsidiaries to execute a proper growth strategy.
