	abstract = {The aim of this chapter is to discuss the role played by the internal capital market in business groups, the results so far achieved by the literature and to open new lines of research on how these internal flows influence the relations between companies belonging to the same group and in particular the relation between the head and its subsidiaries. The internal capital market may play a dual role. The first is that the presence of internal capital flows within a group can make it easier for companies to survive an external shock, such as an economic-financial crisis. The second is that the internal capital market facilitates the allocation of resources to investment projects, in particular innovative projects, for which it could be difficult to raise external funds. Most of this literature is focused mainly on large groups, undervaluing the relevance and the implications of small and medium-sized business groups.},

	abstract = {The main aim of this paper is to analyze the factors affecting the likelihood of the failure of innovation projects (delay or abandonment) and the relation between project failure and innovation performance. Specific emphasis is given to the role of collaboration in general, and to collaboration with universities and public research institutions (PRI) in particular. We use data about German firms for the period 2002{\textendash}2005, merging the results of two successive Community Innovation Surveys. We show that collaboration is associated with the Delay and, to a lesser extent, the Abandonment of innovation projects. Collaboration with PRI does not increase either the likelihood of project failure or the innovation performance, compared to collaboration with firms. We also show that there is a positive relation between the delay of projects and the innovation performance of firms. The occurrence of delays can be considered as a sort of {\textquoteleft}necessary{\textquoteright} cost in order to raise the level of innovation performance.},

The main idea is that diversification{\textemdash}captured by a measure of vertically related variety{\textemdash}promotes firm innovativeness and, consequently, productivity, but when the technology has been consolidated, firms join specialized clusters that enhance efficiency. Our results suggest that the effect on firms{\textquoteright} TFP of geographic concentration is stronger than that of related variety. We also confirm previous findings on the relevance of agglomeration forces for small firms compared with medium and large firms, where these agglomerative forces do not seem to influence TFP.},
