Abstract: The existing literature on the competitiveness of emerging economy firms does not fully distinguish the different types of firm-specific advantages that influence the firm’s internationalization decisions. This paper addresses this by focusing on emerging economy business group firms and offers a novel theoretical framework on their specific advantages, derived from their organizational structure. It applies the concept of recombination capabilities and proposes that the organizational structure and group internal market of business groups are the key to understanding the dynamics of their competitiveness and internationalization. Also, the paper suggests that business group advantages have implications on the affiliate level advantages and the group multinationality over time.
