Over the past few years, most firms have been effective in reducing manufacturing cost through automation. Likewise, these companies have made strides in reducing inventory and quality costs through techniques such as just-in-time manufacturing and statistical process control. As a result, material and direct labor costs have been reduced dramatically. However, relatively high overhead costs continue to burden the larger firms, yet smaller firms have been successful in keeping these costs relatively low. The large, diversified firms must address these costs if they are to regain competitiveness.
The overall goal of this thesis is to help large firms reduce overhead costs through the process of selecting and networking core business units. Although the subjects of selecting and networking business units are well covered in available literature, there is little mention of integrating these two areas in the effort to improve company efficiency. This thesis shows that the major factors affecting company efficiency are diversification strategies and organizational structures. It also shows that these factors are interrelated. In other words, successful diversification also requires proper organizational structure.
