Product-market uncertainty, portfolio restructuring, and performance: An information-processing and resource-based view
研究了企业为应对产品市场不确定性而进行的投资组合重组如何影响财务绩效，基于168家财富500强企业的面板数据，发现两种重组策略与绩效的关系，并指出何时采用何种策略能获得最佳绩效。
The author investigates whether portfolio restructuring under-taken in response to changes in product-market uncertainty has implications for financial performance. A model that integrates information-processing and resource-based theories was applied to data from a panel of 168 Fortune 500 companies. Analyses show that product-market uncertainty is associated with two different types of restructuring strategies, which represent different theoretical approaches to portfolio restructuring. The results further show that portfolio restructuring actions influenced performance, and indicate when each restructuring strategy should be used to achieve the highest financial performance. Implications of these results for theory development are discussed.
