Based on an analysis of 154 listed firms over the time period 1996 to 2002, I examined the simultaneous impact of product and geographic diversification on the performance. I found that diversification have different impact on performance between firms in high-technology industries and in low-technology industries. It is fruitful for high technology firms to undertake product diversification but low technology firms are better off diversifying geographically.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Vol. 2008, No. 1 Permissions Metrics in the past 12 months History Published online 30 November 2017 Published in print 1 August 2008 InformationCopyright of Academy of Management Journal is the property of Academy of Management and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder’s express written permission.
