Abstract: | So what happened to the old management axiom that a company should not stray far from its "core competencies?" Among many Chinese managers today , the new mantra is diversify, diversify, diversify. Like from computers to cake. Beijing-based Stone Group, for instance, started out in 1984 designing software and distributing Compaq computers. Three years later, it began making simple word processors, building both a dominant market share and a reputation as one of China's leading electronic companies. |
