Corporate Portfolio Management: Appraising Four Decades of Academic Research
回顾企业组合管理（CPM）的学术文献，探究自1980年代以来该领域受关注较少的原因，并为管理学者提出未来研究议程。
Executive Overview Few major corporations are single business entities; rather, they are organizations that target many product-market combinations. Although academia has shown great interest in diversification and mergers and acquisitions, the management of multi-business portfolios, also known as corporate portfolio management (CPM), has received considerably less attention since the 1980s. This raises the question of why. Reviewing the scholarly literature on CPM we investigate the reasons for this disinterest and suggest a future research agenda for management scholars in this important domain.
