Abstract

Nearly forty years ago, Professor Edward Mason, then the guru of industrial organization in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences at Harvard began an experiment. He encouraged his doctoral students to investigate topics that opened up new territory between economics and business, and between economics and law. Mason believed that these topics called for an interdisciplinary approach. He also wanted to accumulate reliable data on the workings of the modern business concern. To do this he asked some of his friends on the business school and law faculties at Harvard to help his students gain access to particular firms and to data on their industries, and also to help them master techniques of analysis and perspectives that had few exponents on his side of the Charles River.

Abstract

Current research offers alternative explanations to the “linkage” between the pattern of diversification and performance. At least four streams of research can be identified. None of these can be considered to be a reliable, predictive theory of successful diversification. They are, at best, partial explanations. The purpose of this paper is to propose an additional “linkage,” conceptual at this stage, that might help our understanding of the crucial connection between diversity and performance. The conceptual argument is intented as a “supplement” to the current lines of research, rather than as an alternative explanation.

Abstract

This study examined the relationship between 130 firm's business investment strategy and their firm performance, as measured by return on investment (ROI) and earnngs per share (EPS). ROI was used as the accounting performance measure and EPS was used as the market‐based performance measure. Results indicate that the accounting performance measure (ROI) may be more appropriate for firms pursuing share‐increasing and turnaround business investment strategies. Whereas both accounting (ROI) and market‐based (EPS) measures may be more appropriate for firms pursuing less risky profit‐oriented business investment strategies.
