Abstract: Abstract The case studies covering the concentrically diversified, multiproduct electronics firms have been used to suggest that vertically and horizontally integrated companies failed to take full advantage of the economies that they should have been able to exploit. However, that statement is clearly unsatisfactory if those firms which did survive in the sector had similar structures, exhibited similar forms of conduct and produced similar product strategies.
