| Tiivistelmä: | The concept of the 'business group' has been used in an ambiguous and inconsistent way to describe different types of interfirm relationships. In this article, a preliminary conception is presented in which the 'business group' is conceptualized as comprising three elements: i. network(s) of interrelated firms, ii. the institutionalized logic of reciprocity, and iii. the intersubjective interpretation of actors inside and outside the group. Furthermore, a social network perspective on organizations is suggested for the analysis of 'business groups'. |
