Three essays on the linkage between corporate and business strategies

This dissertation presents three essays exploring the impact of corporate diversification on a business-unit's (BU's) performance, a research which reflects the linkage between corporate-level and business-level strategies. One distinguishing feature of this research is that it explicitly recognizes two key attributes of competition among diversified firms which have been overlooked by previous research: that is, for diversified firms, competition occurs at the business-unit level, rather than at the corporate-level, and the nature of multimarket operation could have strategic impacts on existing competition.
