Business groups have been limited in number and influence for most of Australia’s modern history. Several entrepreneurs managed a diversified portfolio of interests, and business families often cooperated with one another, but this rarely took the form of a business group. When the Australian economy diversified into manufacturing from its initial narrow resource base, multinational corporations formed a dominant presence. Governments built infrastructure but did not facilitate groups. Maturing capital markets negated the need for in-house treasuries. Business groups temporarily dominated the corporate landscape for several decades towards the end of the twentieth century, but their business model was flawed in relation to the Australian environment and most failed to survive the downturn of the late 1980s and early 1990s.

This study examines the determinants of two important dividend policy decisions specifically the dividend payment decision and the dividend payout level decision of 781 sample Indian firms enlisted on National Stock Exchange (NSE) over the period, 1995–2015, comparing the business group-affiliated firms with the standalone firms. In term of characteristics, the business group-affiliated firms are larger, more profitable and more levered than the standalone firms. The empirical results suggest that the dividend policy decisions of business group-affiliated firms differ significantly from that of the standalone firms. In the case of standalone firms, the firms with high investment opportunities, high financial leverage and high business risk are less likely to pay dividends, and their dividend payout levels are lower. On the other hand, the firms affiliated with business groups are more likely to pay dividends, and their dividend payout levels are higher even when they have high investment opportunities, high financial leverage and high business risk. Overall, the findings suggest that although the business groups are able to create internal capital markets (ICMs) and shield their member firms from market imperfections, they may suffer from other information asymmetry problems.

Corporate R&D Investments,that constitute basis for sustainable development, are influenced by external and firm-specific risks.Evidence shows that firms in Turkey have increased R&D spending during subprime crisis despite its procyclicality in most of the emerging countries.This chapter investigates if business group affiliation or corporate diversification that is predominant in Turkey stimulate R&D investments under risk.It focuses on internal capital markets of business groups or conglomerates that may enhance R&D spending by reducing financial constraints, and likelihood of distress of the affiliated firms.The results reveal that group affiliation and diversification positively affect corporate R&D spending when firm-specific risks rise.These results are significant during the global crisis period.Group-affiliated corporations increase their R&D investments as idiosyncratic risks rise.The diversified conglomerates increase R&D investments when earnings volatility and equity erosion rise.Results indicate that large firms are more inclined to reduce R&D investments under risk.

Why do small–business groups in developed countries exist? Research has shown the strong economic impact of business groups throughout the world but remains heavily focused on large–business groups and on emerging economies. Theoretical approaches to explain the existence of highly diversified business groups range from market power to the resource–based view and include market failure, transaction costs, agency theory, and cultural embeddedness. These approaches, however, are not very appropriate to explain the existence of small to medium–size firms in developed countries. What we know is that these smaller groups exist and that they are largely the outcome of related diversification. We investigate relatively small and young–business groups organized in a holding structure. What are the perceived benefits of this kind of group for entrepreneurs and how can we explain the phenomenon theoretically? Based on case study research, we argue that the small–business group is both the outcome and the antecedent of growth. It enables, and helps to realize and manage the growth of entrepreneurial firms. The enabling function consists in increasing reputation, attracting complementary resources that facilitate the exploitation of new opportunities, overcoming overembeddedness, and dealing with coopetition (concurrent cooperative and competitive relationships with another company). The group is also the outcome of realized internationalization and related diversification. Interestingly, for the emergence of the small–business group, just as important as diversification is the integration of activities as well as the separation of closely linked activities. Finally, the small–business group corresponds to an entrepreneurial management style. The main contribution of this article is to link organizational structure to the management and growth of entrepreneurial firms.

The concept of parenting was originally proposed by Campbell et al (1995) in the context of conglomerates in developed economies. In contrast to the divisional structure of conglomerates in developed countries, business groups as found in most emerging consist of a network of affiliated yet independent firms. This difference in the structure of multi-business firms in developed and emerging markets solicits a revisiting the concept of parenting as originally proposed by Campbell et al. (1995). Does ‘parenting advantage’ exist in emerging markets? If so, what are the sources of ‘parenting advantage’? Given the multi-firm, multi-business group affiliated setup how does ‘parenting’ differ in emerging markets when compared to conglomerates of developed economies? How does the business group structure and associated managerial practices impact ‘parenting advantage’ of firms affiliated to a business group in emerging market? This paper examines some of these critical yet unanswered questions. The contribution made in this work is threefold… One, we redefine the concept of ‘parenting’ as relevant to business group structure found in emerging markets like India. Two, we articulate the drivers of parenting value for affiliate firms bound in a business group structure. Three, the paper discusses the nuances of parenting and its advantages in an emerging market, in contrast to its conceptualization in developed economies. Finally, extending the parenting literature to a wider context of an emerging market is an important outcome of this work.

Economically, The society of Pasir Gadung in Sangiang village is fairly low because the majority employment of society is as farmers and laborers where the agricultural product is still sold directly without processing. As yields of Melinjo trees society usually sell the bark and seeds Melinjo directly to the collector of Melinjo in Pasir Gadung. To increase the added value and selling value of agricultural commodities, it is necessary to handle and post-yields processing. The yield of Melinjo can be processed into ceplis which is one of souvenir typical of the Serang Banten region and has a higher selling value than raw Melinjo. So that effort is made,  approach themselves, entrepreneurship seminar, the formation of society business groups, mentoring of production activities, marketing guidance and business evaluation monitoring in the Pasir Gadung society business group to increase knowledge, skills, product quality, number of products, product types and management capabilities.

In order to increase market attractiveness, packaging and labels will be made for the group and marketing consultations. At present there is an increase in packaging aesthetic quality and labels
