Mohammed, A.H.

Diversification strategy and financial performance in the UK construction industry - 1994 - Surveyor 1st Quarterly 1994, 8-16(9) .

Sets out the results of a study on the effects of diversification strategy on UK construction companies` financial performance. The study compares two different economic periods ie stable (1986-1989) and recession (1990-1992). Concludes that diversification is a valid cause of a firm`s growth during stable economic conditions but during a slump this strategy needs to be adjusted or even reversed. (from journal abstract)
