Abstract

During the 198Os, many conglomerates and other diversified firms reduced their diversification by refocusing on their core businesses. This paper provides an economic explanation for this phenomenon and empirically tests the hypotheses that emerge from the analysis. It is shown that refocusing is associated ex post with Profitability improvements.
