The strategy‐shareholder value relationship: Testing temporal stability across market cycles

Strategic Management Journal, 1991, vol. 12, issue 4, 251-270

Abstract: This study examines the stability of the relationship between diversification and shareholder value across contiguous time periods, organized so as to highlight three distinct market cycles. By defining value as a two‐dimensional construct, separating the concurrent economic phenomena of cycle and trend, and controlling for other factors that influence risk and return, this study finds that the best way to protect shareholder value against economic downturns is to diversify in a manner such that ‘all of one's eggs are in similar baskets’.
