Balla (Pieria)
Balla (Ancient Greek: Βάλλα) or Valla (Οὐάλλαι) was a town of ancient Macedonia, on the Haliacmon river, south of Phylace, placed in Pieria by Ptolemy and Pliny, the inhabitants of which were removed to Pythium. As Pythium was in Perrhaebia, at the southwestern foot of the Pierian mountains, 19th century archaeologist William Martin Leake placed Balla in the mountainous part of Pieria, and supposed that Velventos may have derived its name from it. In that case it would be a different place from the "Bala" of the Peutinger Table, which stood about midway between Dium and Berrhoea.

Léon Heuzey misidentified the city of Aegae as Balla in the 1860s, a view that prevailed until 1976. Modern scholars treat its site as unlocated. One suggested location for the city is at the village of Palaiogratsianon.

A corporate group, company group or business group, also formally known as a group of companies, is a collection of parent and subsidiary corporations that function as a single economic entity through a common source of control. These types of groups are often managed by an account manager.

If the corporations are engaged in entirely different businesses, the group is called a conglomerate. The forming of corporate groups usually involves consolidation via mergers and acquisitions, although the group concept focuses on the instances in which the merged and acquired corporate entities remain in existence rather than the instances in which they are dissolved by the parent. The group may be owned by a holding company which may have no actual operations.
