Journal of Management Studies, 1998, vol. 35, issue 6, 719-746

Abstract: Four hypotheses concerning the existence of business groups are developed and are tested on two Swedish business groups that were found to provide both government and corporate economy with governance solutions. Swedish culture also appeared supportive of the groups, which were not found to be institutionally inert, building their existence solely on power.
