The Relative Influence of Industry and Corporation on Business Segment Performance: an Alternative Estimate
نویسندگان
چکیده
Rumelt’s (1991) widely cited paper presents estimates of the relative influence of industry, corporate, business unit, and other influences on business unit profitability. He finds corporations explain almost none of the variability in business unit profitability. Using a simultaneous equation model, we provide alternative estimates of the influence of industry and corporation on business unit performance. We find that both corporations and industries influence business unit profitability but corporations have the larger influence. Copyright 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
