企业群体和企业集团都是各个不同企业在分工协作的基础上形成的企业群,区别点则是企业之间在经济联系的形式和经济利益关系上有所不同。参加企业群体的各个企业,仍是独立经营、独立核算、自负盈亏的经济实体,它们之间的经济联系一般是采取经济合同的形式,不存在隶属关系。企业集团则与此不同。参加集团的企业,本身隶属于该集团,在集团共同商定的范倒内承担共同的义务,遵守共同的协议。一般来说,形成集团的企业为了维护共同的利益,决定集团生产与技术发展方向、开发新产品和开拓新市场。在各个企业之上还建立代表共同利盈的经济组 Enterprise groups and enterprise groups are groups of companies formed by different companies on the basis of division of labor and cooperation. The difference is that there are differences between the forms of economic relations and the relationship between economic interests of enterprises. Each enterprise participating in the enterprise group is still an economic entity with independent management, independent accounting, and self-financing. The economic relationship between them is generally in the form of an economic contract. There is no subordination. Enterprise groups are different. The companies participating in the group are themselves affiliated with the group and bear common obligations within the group’s mutual agreement and follow common agreements. In general, the companies forming the group decide the group’s production and technological development direction, develop new products and develop new markets in order to maintain common interests. On top of each company, an economic group representing common profit is also established.
