Diversification strategy - Operating company versus holding company
Diversification strategy - Operating company versus holding company
Order Description
start with a literature review for diversification strategy in business. It should address the difference between a holding company model (not involved in operations)
and operating company model (involved) and then the contribution should be developing two hypotheses when each model is preferred or more effective. It's like writing
the first half of a real academic article where you make a contribution to the literature. That means that you need to first do a thorough review of the concurrent
literature (not old one and with highly cited sources not just any sources). In a second step, you then need to critically interact with the extant literature in order
to advance theory. Give a nice, stringent, logical discussion that then leads to one or two testable hypotheses. That should take you about 15 pages. You don't need to
try to actually test those hypotheses, so no methods, data, results section, although a short summary telling the reader what the value added with the paper is needed.
