Publication Metadata only The evolutionary dynamics of diversified business groups in the west history and theory(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2018) Hikino, Takashi; N/A; Çolpan, Aslı M.; Other; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; N/AThis chapter examines the historical origins, evolutionary paths, and long-term resilience of diversified business groups in the economies of Western Europe, North America, and Oceania from the nineteenth century to the present. In examining the developmental dynamics of diversified business groups in those economies, it aims to propose a new interpretation of the long-term evolution of large business enterprises in different market and institutional settings. The chapter suggests that diversified business groups are not simply transitional and second-best organizations that worked well only at the early phase of modern economic growth and will not necessarily become an obstacle for dynamic industrial development as the economies mature. Instead, as the business groups flexibly co-evolve with changing market and institutional environments, they can stay on as a viable model for business organizations even in developed markets.Publication Metadata only Business, ethics and institutions the evolution of Turkish capitalism in a comparative perspective(Routledge, 2020) Jones, Geoffrey; N/A; Çolpan, Aslı M.; Other; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; N/AN/APublication Metadata only Politics, institutions, and diversified business groups comparisons across developed countries(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2018) Schneider, Ben Ross; Wong, Weihuang; N/A; Çolpan, Aslı M.; Other; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; N/AThis chapter examines the effects of national level politics and institutions on the long-term evolution of diversified business groups. A central goal of this chapter is to connect the analysis of business groups to broader debates on the political economy of advanced capitalism, especially varieties of capitalism, power resource theory, legal families, and entrenchment. States (through regulations) and firms (via their corporate practices, especially concentrated ownership and cross-ownership) across much of continental Europe and Japan protected business groups by forestalling takeovers, while capital markets in liberal economies encouraged the formation of new kinds of business groups (especially private equity) by facilitating takeovers. Brief summaries of the evolution of business groups over the past century in Sweden and the United States illustrate these different dynamics in coordinated and liberal economies.Publication Metadata only Business, ethics and institutions the evolution of Turkish capitalism in global perspectives foreword(Routledge, 2020) Jones, Geoffrey; N/A; Çolpan, Aslı M.; Other; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; N/AN/APublication Metadata only Business groups in the west: origins, evolution, and resilience(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2018) Hikino, Takashi; N/A; Çolpan, Aslı M.; Other; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; N/AThis volume aims to explore the long-term evolution of different varieties of large enterprises in today's developed economies. It focuses on the economic institution of business groups and attempts to comprehend the factors behind their rise, growth, struggle, and resilience; their behavioral and organizational characteristics; and their roles in national economic development. The volume seeks to enhance the scholarly and policy-oriented understanding of business groups in developed economies by bringing together state-of-the-art research on the characteristics and contributions of large enterprises in an evolutionary perspective. While business groups are a dominant and critical organization model in contemporary emerging economies and have lately attracted much attention in academic circles and business presses, their counterparts in developed economies have not been systematically examined. This book aims to fill this gap in the literature and is the first scholarly attempt to explore the evolutional paths and contemporary roles of business groups in developed economies from an internationally comparative perspective. In doing so, it argues that business groups actually rose to function as a critical factor of industrial dynamics in the context of the Second Industrial Revolution in the late nineteenth century. They have adapted their characteristic roles and transformed to fit to the changing market and institutional settings. As they flexibly co-evolve with the environment, the volume shows that business groups can remain as a viable organization model in the world's most advanced economies today.Publication Metadata only Introduction: business groups re-examined(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2018) Hikino, Takashi; N/A; Çolpan, Aslı M.; Other; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; N/AWhile business groups are a dominant and critical business organization in contemporary emerging economies and have lately attracted much attention in academic circles and business presses, interestingly their counterparts in developed economies have not been systematically examined. This chapter serves as an introduction to this volume that examines the origins, evolution, and resilience of business groups in the developed economies of Western Europe, North America and Oceania. First, it describes the major aims of the volume and argues why it focuses on business groups in developed economies. Second, it examines the categorical classifications of various types of business groups, as conceptual clarification is necessary to distinguish different varieties of this organizational model at the outset of the volume. Third, the chapter explores the varieties of diversified business groups and their comparable organizational models under the category of "multi-unit enterprises." It concludes by giving an outline of the entire volume.Publication Metadata only Development of business groups and entrepreneurship the Koc Group in global perspective(Routledge, 2020) Jones, Geoffrey; N/A; Çolpan, Aslı M.; Other; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; N/AN/A
