This research analyzes the drivers of firm growth strategies and the relationship between internationalization and diversification based on the longitudinal study of the Volkswagen Group from 1937 until 2007. The study shows that firm resources, the needs of consumers, and the needs of the business all influence choices of growth strategies. The study also shows that internationalization need not be at the expense of diversification. Indeed, it seems to be an inevitable decision to internationalize and at the same diversify the range of offered products in order to avoid failure in the turbulent, investment-intensive automotive industry.

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board), and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) (collectively, the agencies) are seeking comment on three notices of proposed rulemaking (NPRs) that would revise and replace the agencies' current capital rules. This NPR (Standardized Approach NPR) includes proposed changes to the agencies' general risk-based capital requirements for determining risk-weighted assets (that is, the calculation of the denominator of a banking organization's risk-based capital ratios). The proposed changes would revise and harmonize the agencies' rules for calculating risk- weighted assets to enhance risk-sensitivity and address weaknesses identified over recent years, including by incorpor...

Much has been written about the effects of various branding strategies involving the use of brand names, logos, fighting brands, and links of branding to the success of certain products, however, little attention has been paid to the success of branding strategy based on employee perceptions. This study explored various employee perceptions within the Nestlé Corporation, such as branding strategy, importance of the name, effect on sales, and costs vs. benefits of the company logo on their perceptions of the global image based on both current and future branding. The results indicate that stand alone brands owned by Nestle may not necessarily need to carry the Nestle brand name for success in the marketplace and that there would be more benefits of adding the Nestle logo to struggling br...

The nature of the relationship between strategic groups and performance has long been a controversial issue. We examine the possibility that incorporating the concept of equifinality may shed light on the relationship. Whereas most studies assume that a best-performing strategy exists for a given context, we build on Gresov and Drazin's (1997) theorizing to suggest that multiple strategic groups can be equally effective under a given set of conditions, and that as conditions change so do the strategic groups that are equifinal. More specifically, we develop and test hypotheses concerning the prevalence and viability of different strategic groups under different situations. Our results suggest that progress toward finally diagnosing the strategic groups-performance relationship may depen...
