Inter‐temporal economies of scope, organizational modularity, and the dynamics of diversification (2004, background): “Although the evidence is not clear cut, many studies have suggested that firms may benefit from related diversification in particular (see Montgomery, 1994; Palich, Cardinal, and Miller, 2000).”
The impact of marketing capability, operations capability and diversification strategy on performance: A resource-based view (2010, background): “It is widely accepted that efficient linkage of various internal functions within an organization and interactions among them is crucial to manage the ‘curvilinear effects’ of diversification on performance (Narasimhan & Kim, 2002; Palich et al., 2000).”
