I hope you are having a great Easter day.
While inspecting my dataset on Companies using legal services,
I have noticed that some CompanyNames seem to be referring to one parent company, albeit with slightly different labels:
"Kiewit Building Group Inc" 70066
"Kiewit Construction Group Inc" 70067
"Kiewit Constructors Inc" 70068
"Kiewit Corp" 70069
"Kiewit Energy Co" 70070
"Kiewit Infrastructure South Co" 70071
"Kiewit Infrastructure West Co" 70072
"Kiewit Louisiana Co" 70073
"Kiewit Mining Group Inc" 70074
"Kiewit Offshore Services Ltd" 70075
"Kiewit Pacific Co" 70076
"Kiewit Power Constructors Co" 70077
"Kiewit Southwest Co" 70078
"Kiewit Western Co" 70079
I want to assign them an identical group identifier for these subsidiary firms under allegedly one parent firm.
Can anyone advise me on how to approach this issue?
Given the high number of observations (140k+ observations), I could use some algorithmic help to assign the group identifiers.
Thank you!
