18. 19. PROS of Diversification Economies of scale and scope Operational synergies can be realized.
Spreading the firm's unutilized organizational resources to other areas can create value. Leveraging skills
across businesses can create value. Internal capital market Cash from some businesses can be used to
make profitable investments. External finance may be more costly due to transaction costs, monitoring
costs, etc.
19. 20. Contd Diversifying shareholders portfolios Individual shareholders may benefit from investing in a
diversified portfolio. Identifying undervalued firms Shareholders may benefit from diversification if its
managers are able to identify firms that are under valued by the stock market.
20. 21. CONS of Diversification Combining two businesses in a single firm is likely to result insubstantial
influence costs. Resource allocation can be influenced by lobbying. Costly control systems may be
needed that reward managers based on division profits and discipline managers by tying their careers to
business unit objectives. Internal capital markets may not work well in practice. Shareholders can
diversify their own personal portfolios. Corporate managers are not really needed to do this. Identifying
undervalued firms may not be as easy as it sounds.
