| Tiivistelmä: | In the 1960s and 1970s, big was beautiful. Corporate America saw a trend toward conglomerates. An investment in a diversified company was considered a good bet. If one of the conglomerate's businesses took a downturn, perhaps the others could carry it. A more recent trend has been for companies to focus on one industry. Investors are more likely to seek out companies that have a "pure play". DEKALB Corporation was involved in a wide range of businesses, including oil and gas exploration and production, agricultural genetics, petroleum services, and irrigation equipment manufacturing. The company is an example of a conglomerate that saw the investor disenchantment with diversified companies and decided to split up into three parts. |
