The paper focuses on the origins, organizational structure and operations of corporate groups in Russia and their role in the economy. Corporate groups began to emerge and develop in Russia in the early 1990s in the wake of the privatization of state-owned enterprises, the author says. Their development was influenced by the so-called “loans for shares” program and a financial crisis in 1998. Most of Russia’s corporations have developed through either vertical or horizontal integration, and they also emerged in the form of conglomerates. Most corporations operate in industries such as oil, gas, chemicals, petrochemicals, power, metallurgy, steel and machinery. Characteristically, there are specific financial and interpersonal ties between representatives of individual companies within each group, Fiedorczuk says. In most Russian corporate groups, the main owners are oligarchs, or wealthy businessmen with an extensive network of political connections. Corporations play an important role in Russia’s economic, political and social life, the author notes. But they are also under heavy pressure from the country’s political authorities. As in other developing countries, corporate groups in Russia outperform single businesses in terms of financial and economic indicators. Overall, corporations may be an optimal response to market and government failures in a process of economic transition, Fiedorczuk concludes.

Wzrost handlu międzynarodowego reprezentuje ponad 60% wzrostu gospodarczego. Spółki międzynarodowe, działające w ramach tej samej grupy kapitałowej, chcą zwiększać swoją rentowność, co skłania przedsiębiorstwa do ciągłego polepszania wyników finansowych. W artykule zbadano, czy ceny transferowe mają pozytywny i znaczący wpływ na wyniki finansowe grupy przedsiębiorstw w Algierii w okresie pięciu lat od 2016 r., przy zastosowaniu podejścia ilościowego z oprogramowaniem SPSS. Autorzy wykorzystali regresję oraz zmienne cen transferowych (obciążenie podatkowe, wielkość firmy i dźwignię finansową) na przykładzie wyników finansowych 60 spółek z grup kapitałowych działających w różnych sektorach. Wyniki pokazują, że ceny transferowe mają znaczący i pozytywny wpływ na te przedsiębiorstwa przy 10-procentowym marginesie błędu, mimo że tylko wielkość firmy ma istotny pozytywny wpływ na ROA tych spółek w Algierii, przy błędzie marginesu wynoszącym 1%. Autorzy doszli jednak do wniosku, że im większa firma, tym większą uwagę powinna zwracać na swoje ceny transferowe i składane deklaracje, aby uniknąć korekty podatkowej, która mogłaby pogorszyć jej wyniki finansowe.

The increase of international trade represents more than 60% of the international economy, which is more profitable within the same group, thus prompting the continuous search for satisfactory financial performance by companies. This paper investigates whether transfer pricing has a positive and significant impact on corporate group's financial performance in Algeria, over a period of five years since 2016 with a quantitative approach and SPSS software. The authors tested the regression of transfer pricing variables (tax burden, firm size and leverage) with the financial performance of 60 companies of corporate groups operating in different sectors as a research sample and found that transfer pricing has a significant and positive impact on those companies at 10% error margin, despite the fact that only the company size has a significant positive impact on ROA of these companies in Algeria, with a margin error of 1%. However, the authors concluded that the bigger the company, the more it should pay attention to its transfer prices and their declarations to avoid any tax adjustment which can hinder its financial performance.

Corporate groups are specific types of business networks that generate particular advantages for firms. They allow corporates to reduce costs, develop the pool of resources and increase the flexibility of operations and responses to external shocks among others. The above mentioned benefits are of even greater importance during times of economic turbulence. Their involvement in a corporate group should theoretically allow firms to perform better. The aim of this study is to verify whether corporate group membership truly translated into a firm’s higher input competitiveness and a firm’s better performance during the recent economic crisis. First, we try to investigate if the input competitiveness is higher in the case of firms being members of corporate groups. Second, we test whether the involvement in a corporate group matters for the performance of the firms. Using critical in-depth literature studies and conducting the primary empirical research using the CATI (computer-assisted telephone interviewing) method we strive to verify the following hypothesis - the higher a company’s input competitiveness during the economic crisis, the better a competitive position the company achieves. The empirical research encompasses more than 700 corporates from the manufacturing sector in Poland during the global economic crisis and shortly afterwards. To investigate the issue we use the following methods of statistical analysis – cluster analysis, non-parametric tests and correlation coefficients. The results of the study show that firms involved in both Polish and international corporate groups were more resilient during the economic crisis than those which were not.
