Features: How to view environmental changes and the operational methods of enterprises in the context of these changes have become increasingly important topics in both the business world and academia. This book analyzes the changes in the operating environment of economic organizations, employing the new perspective of division of labor and knowledge accumulation in enterprise research to systematically critique modern business theory. It then provides an in-depth revelation of the production and evolution processes of enterprises, and reconstructs the systematic framework for analyzing enterprises from three aspects: organizational structure, scale and boundaries, and business strategy. Building on this foundation, it theoretically explores the origins of corporate groups from the perspective of intermediary organizations that combine enterprises and markets, discussing their organizational and control structures and their new developments in the current environment. Finally, it analyzes the growth models of corporate groups and their strategic choices regarding diversification during their development.
