Abstract
Large firms with portfolios of unrelated businesses throughout the world's emerging economies, as well as many developed economies, are seeking to restructure their business portfolios to a set of core businesses. The intention of these strategic actions is often to improve performance. These large diversified business groups are actually quite typical of the capitalist countries that have industrialized since World War II. Many explanations have been given as to why these large firms dominate the economies of most countries (Amsden and Hikino, 1994; Granovetter, 1994; Khanna and Palepu, 1997; Leff, 1976, 1978; Strachan, 1976). Academics, owners of business groups and policy makers are debating the future of such large diversified business groups (Ghemawat, Kennedy, and Khanna, 1998; Sachs and Warner, 1994).
