Abstract: The article studies the diversification behavior of four large diversified Colombian business groups five years before and after the 1991 trade opening, as measured by the entropy index. It is shown that the trade opening did not lead the business groups to reduce their diversification but rather to maintain it or even increase it, as they left some sectors but entered new ones that became good opportunities thanks to the privatizations.
