Discussion 1:
What is unrelated diversification? Is there synergy with this type of diversification? Why do you think firm performance goes up with related diversification, but down when diversification is too high and unrelated (see chart on slides)? When is it reasonable to undertake unrelated diversification?
Discussion 2:
When does diversification make sense in the long term, but does not add value in the short term (no immediate synergy)? When do managers erode value through diversification? Can this be related to the observation by Michael Porter that "most companies don't have a strategy" or the observation by others that they have 'bad strategy'?
Discussion 3:
Are acquisitions popular? Are they successful? What are the challenges/problems with acquisitions? Can common practices of acquisitions be related to Michael Porter's observation that "most companies don't have a strategy" or the observation by others that they have 'bad strategy'?
N.B: Try to read the posted materials for answering these discussions. No need to quote nor copy but paraphrasing in your words is really recommended.
