Indian Business Groups: Strategy and Performance

Ram Kumar Kakani; Santosh Sangem; Madhvi Sethi

doi:10.1017/9789385386091

The uniqueness of the Indian context lies in the fact that during the post-liberalization period of the 1990s, most business groups encountered severe financial difficulties, to the extent of struggle for survival, and ultimately lost their former dominant presence. The 2000s have been a witness to the revival of some of these business groups whereas many others are still in search of the suitable strategic response to the new economic and institutional environment. The book explores the forces of product diversification strategy of Indian business groups through a conglomeration of empirical analysis and case studies. The authors cover a period exceeding 25 years of business group activity in the Indian context, and attempt to relate the performance of Indian business groups to their diversification strategy, juxtaposed against the context of institutional change in the Indian economy.
