The aim of this paper is to discuss the formation process of business group in America and Japan and then from the feature of each country's business group to see the factors which determine its feature. By discussing the historical analysis on the process of being business group in America and Japan, it can be clearly pointed out that no matter what is the role of market or state in the process of the business group formation, the determinant is not only those two. Institution and policy instruments are also the determents and influence with type of capitalism role each country is heading. (Less)
