 Diversification, Size and Growth of the Greek Co-operative Marketing UnionsK Oustapassidis European Review of Agricultural Economics, 1992, vol. 19, issue 1, 85-96 Abstract: The association of diversification and growth has been examined in the past in manufacturing industries; expanding to related and to unrelated product activities have been found to have different effects on the rate of growth of firms. These models appeared to suggest that any additional expansion into related activities always resulted in faster growth. However possibly different effects of diversification on the rate of growth of different sized organizations and the role of the initial diversification level were not examined. All these issues are investigated in the case of the Greek cooperative marketing unions over the period 1971-85. The lack of similar studies, at least in European literature, and a general interest in improving cooperative efficiency could lead this empirical work to have some general interest.
