Firm Innovation and Growth Corporate Finance and Governance Merger and Competition Analysis

Abstract

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.
