For the past years more and more well-managed middle-size enterprises in Taiwan have tried to be more competitive and become multination-base enterprises through diversification. A lot of research indicates that the diversification can result in unique competitive advantages. However it also indicates that the degree of diversification is no more one of the important indexes of business performance.
This study was conducted to investigate how to integrate resources within a diversified enterprise to create the management synergies and channel them back to subsidiaries for more growth. Based on various theories regarding resource-base view, diversification, resource building and resource leverage, this study empirically documented that the resource integration among subsidiaries is positively related to the existence of business groups and their growth within a mature industry.
The results of this study indicate that:
1. Business profits can be generated through resource-integration strategy even during the period of a macro-economic recession.
2. Either related diversification and unrelated diversification could be achieved when enterprises are able to effectively use related techniques and resources.
3. The diversified enterprises can exploit resources to create new management synergy through resource building, resource leverage and resource integration.
4. Whether resource integration can be achieved hinges heavily on the subsidiaries willingness to cooperate.
Key Words: Resource-Based View Theory, Diversification, Resource Leverage, Resource Building, Resource-Integration, And Business Performance
