Explaining te international intensity and global diversity of early-stage technology-based firms
Article Abstract:
A survey on 75 early-stage technology-based firms in Ontario, Canada, was conducted to assess their foreign operations and determine both the intensity of their international sales and the global diversity of the industries in which they operate. Results indicate that resources needed to pursue international sales have a significant impact on both international market intensity and diversity. Managerial attitudes toward international markets, however, was strongly associated with international intensity but not global diversity. On the other hand, the company's age was found to play an important role in global diversity but not international intensity.

Product-market diversification and market power
Article Abstract:
A study of 128 Fortune 500 firms, ranging from single-line to highly diversified firms, to determine the relationship between diversification and market strength, confirmed the following hypotheses: diversified firms are less successful in obtaining market share than less diversified firms; diversified firms are found in markets with lower average levels of profitability; markets with highly diversified firms will be less concentrated; and firm diversification is not related to performance.
