“…However, the results of this body of research are not conclusive (Capar, 2003;Kang, 2011) as some studies revealed insignificant interaction effects (Geringer et al, 2000;Tallman & Li, 1996), some studies reported positive interaction effects (Hitt et al, 1997), while other studies revealed negative interaction effects (Sambharya, 1995). Certain studies found mixed results against different performance indicators and with different strategies (Chang & Wang, 2007;Simmonds & Lamont, 1996).…”

“…Similarly, as regards corporate performance, some researchers employed accounting ratios for its measurement (Marinelli, 2011;Muzyrya, 2010;Nachum, 2004), while others have been utilizing market based measures of performance (Deng & Elyasiani, 2008;Gomes & Livdan, 2004;Hoechle et al, 2012), and still certain others measured corporate performance by using both, market and accounting based ratios (Capar, 2003;Doukas & Lang, 2003;Kang, 2011).…”

“…But, in spite of almost over 40 years of research targeted into finding pros and cons of corporate diversification, it is quite possible to conclude that there has been no consensus on the impact of product diversification and geographic diversification on performance, or in other words, confident set of guidelines could not be developed about whether a firm should diversify (product wise or geographically) or it should remain undiversified (Asrarhaghighi, Rahman, Sambasivan, & Mohamed, 2013;Lu & Beamish, 2004;Mehmood & Hilman, 2013). Moreover, the interaction impacts of product diversification and geographic diversification on corporate performance did not achieve agreement among scholars (Capar, 2003;Kang, 2011).…”

“…That means a firm could gain benefits of attaining economies of scale and scope through interdependencies among various businesses and can also apply learning and experience gained through product diversification in coping with challenges of international/geographic diversification (Capar, 2003;Chang & Wang, 2007;Hitt et al, 1997;Kang, 2011).…”

“…Certain scholars also emphasized the need of studying interaction impacts of the two strategies together (Geringer, Tallman, & Olsen, 2000;Hitt, Hoskisson, & Kim, 1997;Tallman & Li, 1996) but research studying those interaction impacts has also been inconclusive (Capar, 2003;Kang, 2011).…”

The objective of this study was to comprehensively and critically review research literature on impacts of product diversification strategy and geographic diversification strategy, conducted particularly in Asian context, and set forth guidelines for future studies. The study concludes that past research into impacts of product diversification and geographic diversification produced indecisive results. There has also been absence of any consensus on the interaction impacts of the two strategies on corporate performance. Although past research studied the topic using variety of methodologies but there has been limited research on the topic for Asian economies compared to Western ones. This is especially true about Malaysian public listed companies (PLCs) for which, particularly, studies regarding interaction impacts of the two strategies are extremely limited. For Malaysia, the challenging business scenario in future coupled with quite significant number of diversified companies warrant research into these areas. Future research could take up the objective of analysing and understanding individual and interaction impacts of product diversification and geographic diversification on corporate performance of Malaysian companies and contribute significantly to this research field. It could adopt new and advanced methodologies for measuring diversification strategies as well as employ several measures of corporate performance to produce comprehensive and robust results. Findings of such research would certainly be useful for practicing managers, particularly Malaysian strategists, and guide them in their decisions concerning diversification strategies and help them better manage their companies' performance.

The link between diversification and performance has become an important topic for research in diverse fields such as strategic management, industrial organization and financial management. However, a synthesis of the research done in developed and emerging markets is missing. This paper attempts such a synthesis by comparing and contrasting the past cumulative empirical research evidence on the relationship between diversification and firm performance in the context of developed economies to the more recent work in the emerging economies. The empirical literature has been divided into three broad perspectives, and the paper highlights the considerable diversity in its findings in developed and emerging markets across each of these perspectives. Based on this study, it is proposed that related diversification is preferable in developed economies and should be based on specific resources, whereas unrelated diversification is appropriate in emerging economies and should be based on generic resources.Although agency problems exist in both contexts, it is argued that the type of problem differs in developed and emerging markets. The paper concludes by identifying three directions for future research. First, the relationship between diversification and performance should be examined across each industry separately and not in aggregate. Secondly, future research needs to examine the organizational mechanisms required to make diversification successful. Finally, the relationship needs to be examined under unstable and dynamic situations such as the current global economic downturn.

Los resultados empresariales representan un tema que sigue concentrando el interés de los investigadores y que aún no está resuelto. Es por ello que el presente estudio persigue dos objetivos: en primer lugar, realizar una revisión bibliográfica de los factores que impactan sobre los resultados empresariales; en segundo lugar, contrastar los planteamientos anteriores para aportar evidencia empírica al respecto, a través de un análisis comparativo entre dos países. Metodológicamente se realiza un contraste sobre paneles completos de empresas industriales chilenas y españolas, utilizando dos bases de datos: (i) la Encuesta Nacional Industrial Anual (ENIA) y (ii) la base de datos de la Encuesta sobre Estrategias Empresariales (ESEE), respectivamente, para el periodo 2000-2007. Utilizando análisis de componentes de varianza se identifican los factores que explican más del 90% de los resultados empresariales y, empleando técnicas para datos de panel, se descubre que estos factores también influyen en los resultados obtenidos. De este modo, el presente artículo avanza en la discusión del tema, a través de su aplicación a empresas de un país en vías de desarrollo como Chile, además de analizar un aspecto descuidado en la literatura como es el estudio de la influencia de los factores, sin concentrarse únicamente en el análisis del porcentaje de explicación de los factores identificados sobre los resultados empresariales; de igual manera, este trabajo actualiza el periodo tradicionalmente investigado e incorpora un factor relevante pero menos analizado en este tipo de estudios, como es la localización geográfica, factor que contribuye a explicar significativamente el modelo propuesto. Dentro de las repercusiones que implican el estudio, es evidente que sus resultados permitirán a los directivos y dueños de empresas comprender los elementos que influyen en los resultados organizacionales, los cuales son la base de su existencia y supervivencia en el futuro.
