To support your work, use your course and text readings and also use outside sources. As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format.

 

Respond to all of the following questions using the lessons and vocabulary found in the readings:

• What role does business-level strategy play in relation to business growth market capitalization?
• What roles do a firm’s core competencies play in a decision to diversify into new businesses?
• Why does unrelated diversification have a worse performance record than related diversification?

The final paragraph (three or four sentences) of your initial post should summarize the one or two key points that you are making in your initial response.

 

Your posting should be the equivalent of 1 to 2 single-spaced pages (500–1000 words) in length.
