Description: This award supports a US-India cooperative research project entitled Organizational Architecture and Institutional Context- An Investigation Using Indian Business Groups. US PI Raja Kali, University of Arkansas and Professor Jayati Sarkar, Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Research (IGIDR), Mumbai will study Indian business organizations with particular emphasis on governance of the business group. While business groups dominate private-sector industrial activity in emerging/transition economies such as Brazil, Chile, Hong Kong, India, and Indonesia; they are typically hybred organizations that do not classify in standard ways as either firms or markets. The objective of this research is to study the evolution of Indian business groups and answer questions such as what determines the prevailing mode of contractual governance, how does contractual governance affect the size and scope of the organization, and what are the implications for economic growth. Scope: This research is driven by a need for greater understanding of the institutional foundations of a smoothly functioning market economy. During the past decade, emerging economies have exhibited persistent difficulties in moving toward market-oriented systems of economic organization; however, the research on the industrial organization of transition is sparse. Both US and Indian investigators are well qualified to carry out this research, the IGIDR is one of India's most advanced and well-equipped research institutes for the social sciences with access to many of the most important national and international databases for research on development. This research is mutually beneficial; it includes graduate students on both sides and will strengthen networks for further binational collaboration.

描述：该奖项支持一项名为“组织架构和制度背景 - 使用印度商业团体进行的调查”的美印合作研究项目。 美国阿肯色大学首席研究员 Raja Kali 和孟买英迪拉甘地发展研究所 (IGIDR) 的 Jayati Sarkar 教授将研究印度商业组织，特别关注商业集团的治理。 虽然商业集团在巴西、智利、香港、印度和印度尼西亚等新兴/转型经济体的私营部门工业活动中占主导地位；它们通常是混合组织，不以标准方式分类为公司或市场。 本研究的目的是研究印度商业集团的演变，并回答诸如是什么决定了契约治理的主流模式、契约治理如何影响组织的规模和范围以及对经济增长的影响等问题。 范围：本研究是出于对市场经济平稳运行的制度基础有更深入了解的需要而推动的。 过去十年中，新兴经济体在向市场导向的经济组织体系迈进方面持续遇到困难；然而，对于转型期产业组织的研究却很少。 美国和印度的研究人员都有资格开展这项研究，IGIDR 是印度最先进、设备最齐全的社会科学研究机构之一，可以访问许多最重要的国家和国际发展研究数据库。 这项研究是互惠互利的；它包括双方的研究生，并将加强进一步两国合作的网络。
