3 What ? A diversified company is a collection of individual businesses. Why ? The purpose of diversification is to build shareholder value When ? Diversification merits strong consideration whenever a single-business company is faced with diminishing market opportunities and stagnating sales in its principal business. Diversification becomes an attractive strategy when a company runs out of profitable growth opportunities in its original business Factors That Signal It Is Time to Diversify 1.When it can expand into industries whose technologies and products complement its present business. 2.When it can leverage existing competencies and capabilities by expanding into businesses where these same resource strengths are valuable competitive advantage. 3.When diversifying into closely related businesses opens new avenues for reducing costs. 4.When it has a powerful and well-known brand name that can be transferred to the products of other businesses.

4 DIVERSIFICATION Strategies for Managing a Group of Businesses Diversification Diversify into Related BusinessesRelated Businesses ●Enhance shareholder value by capturing cross-business strategic fits: - Transfer skills and capabilities from one business to another. - Share facilities or resources to reduce costs. - Leverage use of a common brand name - Combine resources to create new strengths and capabilities.

5 How? There are two fundamental approaches to diversification—into related businesses and into unrelated businesses. The Rationale for related diversification is strategic fit. Diversify into businesses with strategic fits along their respective value chains, capitalize on strategic-fit relationships to gain competitive advantage, and then use competitive advantage to achieved the desired 1 + 1 = 3 impact on shareholder value. Businesses have strategic fit when their value chains offer potential (1) for realizing economies of scope or cost-saving efficiencies associated with sharing technology, facilities, functional activities, distribution outlets, or brand name; (2) for competitively valuable cross-business transfers of technology, skills, know-how, or other resource capabilities; (3) for leveraging use of a well-known and trusted brand name, and (4) for competitively valuable cross-business collaboration to build new or stronger resource strengths and competitive capabilities. The basic premise of unrelated diversification is that any business that has good profit prospects and can be acquired on good financial terms is a good business to diversity into. Unrelated diversification strategies surrender the competitive advantage potential of strategic fit in return for such advantage as (1) spreading business risk over a variety of industries and (2) providing opportunities for financial gain.

12 Welcome Strategic Management CSBD to Hariadi Ismail Resources: The financial, physical, human, technological, and organizational resources of the company can be divided into tangible resources (land, buildings, plant, and equipment) and intangible resources (brand names, reputation, patents, and technological or marketing know-how). Capabilities refer to a company’s skills at coordinating its resources and putting them to productive use. These skills reside in an organization’s routines, that is, in the way a company makes decisions and manages its internal processes in order to achieve organizational objectives. More generally, a company’s capabilities are the product of organizational structure and control systems. A Distinctive Competency is a unique strength that allows a company to achieve superior efficiency, quality, innovation, or customer responsiveness and thereby to create superior value and attain a competitive advantage.
