TY - JOUR TI - Estrategia de mercado seguida por los grupos económicos en chile: efecto en el rendimiento y la rentabilidad PB - Universidad Icesi PY - 2011 issn 01235923 AB - The relationship between corporate growth strategy (diversification versus concentration) and corporate profit is the issue that has probably garnered most attention in the field of research on strategic management, but it is also one where evidence is disparate and inconclusive. Hence, this article focuses on providing a new background to this discussion, by making a comparison to determine which growth strategy yields better performance and profitability. To this end, the study concentrated on the analysis of 38 Chilean economic groups selected by simple random sampling. The main result of this research study is that concentrated economic groups achieve increased profitability and performance as compared with diversified groups, but have a greater variation in their profit.
