Firms' technological resources and the performance effects of diversification: a longitudinal study
Article Abstract:
Longitudinal data on 227 firms, which were diversified between 1980 and 1992, revealed that the sample firms invest less in R and D and have greater breadth technology than their industry peers prior to the diversification event. The performance of related and unrelated diversifiers is differentiated which is probably due both to the economies of scope that can be treated and the average profitability of firms in industries with high R and D intensity.
