  • Diversification Strategies of Large Business Groups in the Philippines
    Philippine Management Review 2013, Vol. 20, 65‐82. Diversification Strategies of Large Business Groups in the Philippines Ben Paul B. Gutierrez and Rafael A. Rodriguez* University of the Philippines, College of Business Administration, Diliman, Quezon City 1101, Philippines This paper describes the diversification strategies of 11 major Philippine business groups. First, it reviews the benefits and drawbacks of related and unrelated diversification from the literature. Then, it describes the forms of diversification being pursued by some of the large Philippine business groups. The paper ends with possible explanations for the patterns of diversification observed in these Philippine business groups and identifies directions for future research. Keywords: related diversification, unrelated diversification, Philippine business groups 1 Introduction This paper will describe the recent diversification strategies of 11 business groups in the Philippines. There are various definitions of business groups but in this paper, these are clusters of legally distinct firms with a managerial relationship, usually by virtue of common ownership. The focus on business groups rather than on individual firms has to do with the way that business firms in the Philippines are organized and managed. Businesses that are controlled and managed by essentially the same set of principal owners are often organized as separate corporations, not as separate divisions within the same firm, as is often the case in American corporations like General Electric, Procter and Gamble, or General Motors (Echanis, 2009). Moreover, studies on emerging markets have pointed out that business groups often occupy dominant positions in the business landscape in markets like India, Korea, Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines (Khanna & Palepu, 1997; Khanna & Yafeh, 2007).

  • Occasional Paper No. 68 National Center for the Study of Privatization in Education Teachers College, Columbia University
    Occasional Paper No. 68 National Center for the Study of Privatization in Education Teachers College, Columbia University Evaluating Private Higher Education in the Philippines: The Case for Choice, Equity and Efficiency Charisse Gulosino MA Student, Teachers College, Columbia University Abstract Private higher education has long dominated higher education systems in the Philippines, considered as one of the highest rates of privatization in the world. The focus of this paper is to provide a comprehensive picture of the nature and extent of private higher education in the Philippines. Elements of commonality as well as differences are highlighted, along with the challenges faced by private institutions of higher education. From this evidence, it is essential to consider the role of private higher education and show how, why and where the private education sector is expanding in scope and number. In this paper, the task of exploring private higher education from the Philippine experience breaks down in several parts: sourcing of funds, range of tuition and courses of study, per student costs, student destinations in terms of employability, and other key economic features of non-profit /for-profit institutions vis-à-vis public institutions. The latter part of the paper analyses several emerging issues in higher education as the country meets the challenge for global competitiveness. Pertinent to this paper’s analysis is Levin’s comprehensive criteria on evaluating privatization, namely: choice, competition, equity and efficiency.
