Tiivistelmä: | A fundamental theme in comparative cross-country research is the convergence of organizational forms in diverse national settings. In this paper the authors examine a special instance of this theme: the pattern of diversification across industries. A common argument is that technical and market forces compel firms to adopt "coherent" strategies of diversification. This thesis implies that there should be a convergence in the patterns of interindustry diversification in all market-based economies. An institutional approach offers an alternative view. From this perspective, when diversification across industries is seen as subject to nation-specific governance and resource constraints, countries should vary widely in their interindustry diversification patterns. |
