Abstract: | Business groups are an important constituent of many emerging economies. In this paper, we focus on the evolution and transformation
of Indian business groups (IBGs) over two economic eras — pre-reform era (pre 1991) and reform era (post 1991). To this end,
we analyze IBG behavior during these periods, and explain the implications of such behavior on IBG value creation. Our conceptualization
of IBG dynamics utilizes the perspectives of product relatedness and institutional relatedness, and undertakes a broad review of the extant literature.
