Zusammenfassung

This study examines three organizational factors that may facilitate or inhibit the increase in industrial diversification: firm size, international diversification and initial product diversity. Specifically, the goal is to analyze their main and interaction effects on firms propensity to enhance the number of business segments in which they operate. After revising literature on diversification and strategic change, the study proposes a number of hypotheses that are contrasted by applying a Logit regression. Results indicate that size and internationalization of the firm restrain significantly its growth toward new activities. Also, our findings reveal that there are significant interactions among both variables and the initial product diversity that affect positively on the increase in industrial diversification.
