Copyright © Amity University


Amity Center for eLearning

Knowledge Objectives

• Studying this chapter should provide you with the strategic management knowledge needed to:
– Define corporate-level strategy and discuss its importance to the diversified firm.

– Describe the advantages and disadvantages of single- and dominant- business strategies.

– Explain three primary reasons why firms move from single- and dominant-business strategies to more diversified strategies.

– Describe how related diversified firms create value by sharing or transferring core competencies.

Copyright © Amity University


Amity Center for eLearning

Knowledge Objectives (cont’d)


• Studying this chapter should provide you with
the strategic management knowledge needed
to:
 Explain the two ways value can be created with an
unrelated diversification strategy.
 Discuss the incentives and resources that encourage
diversification.
 Describe motives that can encourage managers to
overdiversify a firm.

The Role of Diversification


• Diversification strategies play a major role in the behavior of large firms

• Product diversification concerns:

– The scope of the industries and markets in which the firm competes

– How managers buy, create and sell different businesses to match skills and strengths with opportunities presented to the firm

Copyright © Amity University


Amity Center for eLearning

Two Strategy Levels


• Business-level Strategy (Competitive)
– Each business unit in a diversified firm chooses a
business-level strategy as its means of competing
in individual product markets
• Corporate-level Strategy (Companywide)
– Specifies actions taken by the firm to gain a
competitive advantage by selecting and managing
a group of different businesses competing in
several industries and product markets
Copyright © Amity University
Amity Center for eLearning

Corporate-Level Strategy: Key


• Questions
Corporate-level Strategy’s Value
– The degree to which the businesses in the
portfolio are worth more under the
management of the company than they
would be under other ownership
– What businesses should
the firm be in?
– How should the corporate
office manage the
group of businesses?
Business Units

Diversification:

Copyright © Amity University
Amity Center for eLearning

Related Diversification
• Firm creates value by building upon or
extending its:
– Resources
– Capabilities
– Core competencies
• Economies of scope
– Cost savings that occur when a firm transfers
capabilities and competencies developed in one of
its businesses to another of its businesses

Copyright © Amity University


Amity Center for eLearning

RelatedDiversification: Economiesof Scope


• Value is created from economies of scope
through:
– Operational relatedness in sharing activities
– Corporate relatedness in transferring skills or
corporate core competencies among units
• The difference between sharing activities and
transferring competencies is based on how
the resources are jointly used to create
economies of scope

Copyright © Amity University


Amity Center for eLearning

Sharing Activities
• Operational Relatedness
– Created by sharing either a primary activity such
as inventory delivery systems, or a support activity
such as purchasing
– Activity sharing requires sharing strategic control
over business units
– Activity sharing may create risk because business-
unit ties create links between outcomes

Copyright © Amity University


Amity Center for eLearning

TransferringCorporateCompetencies
• Corporate Relatedness
– Using complex sets of resources and
capabilities to link different businesses
through managerial and technological
knowledge, experience, and expertise

Copyright © Amity University


Amity Center for eLearning

Corporate Relatedness
• Creates value in two ways:
– Eliminates resource duplication in the need to
allocate resources for a second unit to develop a
competence that already exists in another unit
– Provides intangible resources (resource
intangibility) that are difficult for competitors to
understand and imitate
• A transferred intangible resource gives the unit
receiving it an immediate competitive
advantage over its rivals

Copyright © Amity University


Amity Center for eLearning

RelatedDiversification: Market Power

• Market power exists when a firm can:


– Sell its products above the existing
competitive level and/or
– Reduce the costs of its primary and
support activities below the competitive
level

Copyright © Amity University


Amity Center for eLearning

RelatedDiversification: Market Power


• Multipoint Competition
– Two or more diversified firms simultaneously
compete in the same product areas or geographic
markets
• Vertical Integration
– Backward integration—a firm produces its own
inputs
– Forward integration—a firm operates its own
distribution system for delivering its outputs

Copyright © Amity University


Amity Center for eLearning

RelatedDiversification: Complexity
• Simultaneous Operational Relatedness
and Corporate Relatedness
– Involves managing two sources of
knowledge simultaneously:
• Operational forms of economies of
scope
• Corporate forms of economies of scope
– Many such efforts often fail because of
implementation difficulties

Copyright © Amity University


Amity Center for eLearning

Unrelated Diversification
• Financial Economies
– Are cost savings realized through improved
allocations of financial resources
• Based on investments inside or outside the firm
– Create value through two types of financial
economies:
• Efficient internal capital allocations
• Purchasing other corporations and restructuring
their assets

Copyright © Amity University


Amity Center for eLearning

UnrelatedDiversification(cont’d)
• Efficient Internal Capital Market Allocation
– Corporate office distributes capital to business
divisions to create value for overall company
• Corporate office gains access to information
about those businesses’ actual and prospective
performance
– Conglomerates have a fairly short life cycle
because financial economies are more easily
duplicated by competitors than are gains from
operational and corporate relatedness

Copyright © Amity University


Amity Center for eLearning

UnrelatedDiversification: Restructuring
• Restructuring creates financial economies
– A firm creates value by buying and selling other
firms’ assets in the external market

• Resource allocation decisions may become


complex, so success often requires:
– Focus on mature, low-technology businesses
– Focus on businesses not reliant on a client
orientation

Resources and Diversification


• A firm must have both:
– Incentives to diversify
– Resources required to create value through
diversification
• Cash
• Tangible resources (e.g., plant and equipment)
• Value creation is determined more by
appropriate use of resources than by
incentives to diversify

What is Strategy?
• The creation of a unique and valuable position
involving a different set of activities from those
of your competitors.
• …choosing what to do and what not to do.
