Business group characteristics and firm operating performance: Evidence from Chile
Author
Abstract
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of business group characteristics
on firm-operating performance in Chile.
Design/methodology/approach – Using a multiple regression model, this study examines the effect
of business group characteristics (interlocking of directors, management concentration, and business
group specialization) on operating performance (ROA growth) in a sample of 104 publicly traded
Chilean firms.
Findings – It is documented that, except for interlocking of directors, the two other business group
characteristics (management concentration and business group specialization) are significantly related
to the operating performance of firms belonging to Chilean business groups. These findings suggest
that Chilean business groups would improve or deteriorate the performance of their affiliated firms
modifying its characteristics.
Originality/value – Too little is known about the effect of business group characteristics on
firm-operating performance in Latin American countries such as Chile because there is no research
that analyses its impact on firm-operating performance in the region.
