A Risk-Return Model for Multiregion and Multiproduct Diversification of the Firm

D M Hanink and R G Cromley

Environment and Planning A, 1987, vol. 19, issue 1, 81-92

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that the integration of locational considerations into product-diversification planning has the potential of supplying gains to the firm by providing hedges against both product-portfolio and location-portfolio risk. An efficient diversification frontier for region – product strategic planning is generated from hypothetical data for purposes of illustration. Results of the analysis are in agreement with Wahlroos's theory of the diversification of the firm.
