Diversification in British industry in the 1970s
基于267家英国大型制造企业1971至1979年的年报数据，分析了企业的产品市场定位变化、规模对战略的影响以及行业差异，发现多元化趋势仍在持续。
Abstract This work is original research which is based on data gathered from annual reports and accounts. It covers some 267 businesses which had the largest annual turnovers for manufacturing companies, within Britain, in 1971 and were still in existence in 1979. The data have been subjected to analysis to reveal preferred product‐market postures, movements in posture, effects of annual turnover size on strategies, and the effects of being located within specific industries. In comparison with the work of D. F. Channon for the preceding twenty years it can be seen that, on the whole, the trend towards diversification has continued throughout the broad spectrum of British Industry.
