Product Diversification

Slide Content

The slide introduces the concept of "Product Diversification" and is a 4 Categories Matrix Tool depicting Horizontal, Vertical, Concentric, and Conglomerate diversification strategies.

Vertical diversification involves the value chain extension like purchasing a production unit. Concentric diversification refers to a new line of products with technical or commercial similarities. Lastly, Conglomerate diversification points to new, unrelated products or services.
