Capital market evaluation of M-form implementation and diversification strategy

Article Abstract:

Corporations seeking new organizational systems and structures to manage a new complexity of multiple products as they diversify and grow often select some kind of M-form, or multidivisional, structure. In general, investors react positively to the M-form structure, and evidence supports the hypothesis that company diversification strategy is contingently related to the valuation of M-form implementation by investors. However, M-form structure enhances the accounting-based performance in companies that focus on unrelated and, to some extent, vertically integrated diversification plans. The structure does not enhance the performance of related diversified firms.
