Downscoping: How to Tame the Diversified Firm

Robert E. Hoskisson; Michael A. Hitt

ISBN: 9780195078435
Publisher: Oxford Univ Pr on Demand
Publication Date: 1994
Binding: Hardcover

Large, diversified firms face unique challenges as they compete worldwide, and corporate restructuring is one way multinationals strive for competitive advantage. Weighing the pros and cons of a variety of approaches to restructuring, Downscoping offers executives a clear, strategic path through the maze. Robert E. Hoskisson and Michael A. Hitt show that when a multinational conglomerate fails to compete effectively, too much diversification may be the culprit. Whether the result of weak corporate governance or poor corporate strategy, over-diversification can make managers, unfamiliar with some of the markets in which they compete, opt for safety over innovation. This risk-aversion and lack of long-range commitment to innovation lead inevitably to stagnation over the longer term. Hoskisson and Hitt emphasize that the answer is not downsizing - losing offices and laying off personnel - but downscoping: a strategic approach to restructuring. The options include incentive and compensation adjustments for executives, leveraged buyouts and capital structure changes, focusing on core skills, diversifying internationally while focusing on businesses in which a firm has strong competencies, and buying and selling mature businesses where product development is not a great concern. Regardless of the approach, executives must exercise strategic leadership during and after restructuring, including providing strategic direction, exploiting core competencies, developing human capital, and sustaining the corporate culture. Based on systematic research rather than casual observation, Downscoping provides a strong description of restructuring alternatives and their resulting tradeoffs. Its specificguidelines for maintaining competitiveness will be essential reading for managers involved in corporate restructuring.
