| Tiivistelmä: | Since the mid-1980s U.S. domestic firms have faced significant increases in foreign-based (here as: f-bd.) (i.e.) import competition. This paper examines the impact of f-bd. competition in a firm's core business on both the level and nature of a firm's diversification strategy at the corporate level in a panel dataset of U.S. firms from 1985 to 1994. The findings provide the first evidence that increased f-bd. competition is indeed a statistically significant factor explaining both the reduced business-level diversity and the increased strategic focus of U.S. firms that has been widely perceived over the past two decades. |
