Agglomeration, Technology and Business Groups critically reviews
the reasons for the creation of business groups and examines their
main characteristics. The authors demonstrate that any useful
investigation of the organization and strategies of firms needs to
take the business group as the basic unit of analysis. This premise
underpins their analysis of the impact of two structural variables
- spatial agglomeration and technology - on firm strategy and
organization. Via a new dataset on Italian business groups,
specific insights into the formulation of diversification
strategies, location choices made and variances in vertical
integration are provided. Shedding new light on the influence of
spatial agglomeration and technology on the organization of firms,
this innovative book will be of great interest to academics,
researchers and students focussing on industrial economics, the
theory of the firm and/or spatial agglomeration.
