| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to examine the performance of the large-scale pure holding companies. The question which we must consider is whether profitability or growth of the pure holding companies is the same as before. Profitability is measured by the rate of return on assets. Growth is measured by a growth rate of assets or sales. We use paired t-test. The results suggest that no difference between the holding companies' and the predecessors' performance was found.
