Diversity reduction as organizational metamorphosis: A strategic analysis

Abstract

dc:description

Over one-third of the firms that were considered to be unrelated diversifiers did an about-face in the 1980s and announced their decision to reduce their diversity. This dissertation researches differences between those unrelated diversifiers that continued their unrelated strategy (continuers) and those that reduced their diversity (reducers).
