“…A shorter time span is desirable because strategic plans change overtime. A cross-sectional design was used and involves measuring a phenomenon at a point in time (Herrman, 2009). Short period surveys conducted by previous researchers among others (Daud et al, 2009;Syed & Rao, 2004) ranged from 4 to 6years.…”

Portfolio diversification in capital markets is an accepted investment strategy. On the other hand corporate diversification has drawn many opponents especially the agency theorists who argue that executives must not diversify on behalf of share holders. Diversification is a strategic option used by many managers to improve their firm's performance. While extensive literature investigates the diversification performance linkage, little agreements exist concerning the nature of this relationship. Both theoretical and empirical disagreements abound as the extensive research has neither reached a consensus nor any interpretable and acceptable findings. This paper looked at diversification as a corporate strategy and its effect on firm performance using Conglomerates in the Food and Beverages Sector listed on the ZSE. The study used a combination of primary and secondary data. Primary data was collected through interviews while secondary data were gathered from financial statements and management accounts. Data was analyzed using SPSS computer package. Three competing models were derived from literature (the linear model, Inverted U model and Intermediate model) and these were empirically assessed and tested.

In this paper a methodology built on the foundations of Peirce and Whitehead is used to assert that 'persons' -as distinguished from 'individuals'are the true vehicles of culture. This, because they are the uniquely social actors who extend, in and through time, new or preexisting artifacts. In short, the individual-as-person either acts out a cultural trait thus becoming a living artifact, or otherwise creates material artifacts. Alfred Kroeber's remarks are used as an anthropological backdrop to the discussions.
