Consider Citi Bank, which within it had a private banking sector, an investment banking sector and an insurance sector. This is a great example of diseconomies of scope and very relevant for our current economic state.carlingtonmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07319099642991201544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38902647.post-48793057632570226662009-04-10T07:40:00.000-04:002009-04-10T07:40:00.000-04:00Steve,Thanks for reading! what a great comment po...Steve,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for reading! what a great comment post.

I happened to be there when Ryan presented the diseconomies of scale question. You gave us a quick and to the point definition and example for the concept. After trying to do some additional reading, it was very clear that it is an idea often overlooked or underemphasized as you stated Wednesday morning. It seems to hold a more weight or importance as you've suggested. <BR/><BR/>In my analysis of the Disney case, I kept trying to grasp a solid term or idea to sum up my belief that the ABC acquisition was a burden on the overall success of Disney's multi-business enterprise. Diseconomies of scope is unfortunately not presented in our chapters of diversification and corporate level strategy. It is an interesting topic to think about when evaluating the success of each business unit that make up a multi-business organization. <BR/><BR/>I have enjoyed this blog and your insight over that past couple of days and will continue to do so. It is very appreciating as a student to see you evaluate on points brought up by students in class with such enthusiasm and use your blog to elaborate on them. I am looking forward to reading your new book to learn more about problem finding techniques as well. <BR/><BR/>Steve DMaximizerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03778490284195056954noreply@blogger.com
