• (conomies of $cope&ost savings that occur when a firm transfers
capabilities and competencies developed in one of its
businesses to another of its businesses.

1elated 2iversifcation ,conomies o!Scope•
*alue is created from economies of scopethrough:
5perational relatedness in sharing activities
&orporate relatedness in transferring skills or
corporate core competencies among units.
• The difference between sharing activities and
transferring competencies is based on how theresources are jointly used to create economies
of scope.
8/16/2019 Lecture - 6 Sm
23/42
Sharing Activities
• 5perational 3elatedness
&reated by sharing either a primary activity such as inventory delivery
systems! or a support activity such as purchasing.
/ctivity sharing re6uires sharing strategic control over business units.
/ctivity sharing may create risk because business#unit ties create links
between outcomes.
P78)s paper towel business and baby diaper business both use paper
products as a primary input to the manufacturing process. The firm)s
paper production plant produces inputs for both businesses and is an
e0ample of a shared activity. 4n addition! because they both produce
consumer products! these two businesses are likely to share distribution
channels and sales networks.

• 'pening Case/ #oster(s )roup sought to create operationalrelatedness etween the eer and wine usiness.
• #irms e*pect activity sharing among units to result in increasedstrategic competitiveness and improved fnancial returns.
• &hrough its shared product approach/ #oster(s )roup was unaleto improve its market share position/ especially in the wineusiness.
• Caution pursuing operational relatedness is not easy/ and o!tensynergies are not realized as planned.
• I! demand !or one usiness(s product is reduced/ it may notgenerate su+cient revenues to cover the f*ed costs reuired to
operate the shared !acilities.

&rans!erring Corporate Competencies
• &orporate 3elatedness 2sing comple0 sets of resources and capabilities to link different
businesses through managerial and technological knowledge!
e0perience! and e0pertise.
• &reates value in two ways:
(liminates resource duplication in the need to allocate resources
for a second unit to develop a competence that already e0ists in
another unit.
Provides intangible resources %resource intangibility' that are
difficult for competitors to understand and imitate.• / transferred intangible resource gives the unit receiving it an
immediate competitive advantage over its rivals.
8/16/2019 Lecture - 6 Sm
26/42
•
The e0pense of developing a core competence hasalready been incurred in one of the firm)s
businesses! transferring this competence to a second business
eliminates the need for that business to allocate
resources to develop it.
• ewlett#Packard %P'
firm transferred its competence in ink printers to high#endcopiers.
3ather than the standard laser printing technology in
most high#end copiers! P is using ink#based technology.
