Tiivistelmä: | The resource allocation decision of a manager is analyzed inside a multidivisional company whose compensation is based on the company's stock price. It is found that internal investments exhibit a positive correlation across the company's divisions. Namely, when two single-division companies merge the optimal investment level in one division becomes more positively related to the investment level in the other division. Additionally, following a spinoff, divisional investments decline (increase) whenever the separated division has a project with a low (high) Sharpe ratio. Finally, multidivion companies trade at a discount which is larger the more diverse the investment sets of the divisions. |
