✦ Synopsis

Rumelt's (1991)

widely cited paper presents estimates of the relative influence of industry, corporate, business unit, and other influences on business unit profitability. He finds corporations explain almost none of the variability in business unit profitability.

We find that both corporations and industries influence business unit profitability but corporations have the larger influence.
