Abstract

Whittington et al. (Industrial and Corporate Change, 1999, 8, 519--550) argue that the conglomerate is a relatively transient phenomenon. However, this comment on their article argues that examination of their data suggests that the conglomerate may be more persistent than is generally believed. It is argued that the reason for this may be found in the contribution this strategy may make to dealing with technologically turbulent environments. The results of Whittington et al. are compared with other studies of large firm strategies, and some testable implications are suggested. Copyright 2002, Oxford University Press.
