| Abstract: | Employing concepts of lateral and longitudinal learning, the authors examined the dissolution of 462 expansions of Dutch firms, both acquisitions and new ventires. They interpreted the endurance of an expansion as reflecting success. Results show that expansions were more persistent when related to a firm's core skills, fully owned, and the result of acquisition rather than internal development. Expansions were also likely to last longer if a firm's prior diversification activity level was high. |
