Four categories (origin of growth, historical relationships, business group’s scope and use of specific political strategies) emerged from the analysis, based on interviews with managers and on 480 secondary data sources. We further applied …

Data were collected using purposeful sampling, semistructured interviews, and analysis of organizational documents, social media platforms, and …
