Abstract:
عد البحث في اطار تاملات فكرية ابعادها نظرية ومنهجية واخرى عملية توازنت عبرها الفلسفة المعرفية لتحاكي نوافذ النجاح الاستراتيجي الذي تنشده منظمات الاعمال قاطبة في اطار شمولية النظرة وواقعيتها، اشتقاقا من لغة الجدل بين المنظورين الاستراتيجي والمالي في ت | Key Words : Diversification Strategy, Firm Value, Economic Value Added, Market Value Added, Growth Option Value, Resource - Based Theory, Agency Theory, Real Options Theory, Corporate Governance, Strategic Balance. The research is conducted under intellectual reflections of theoretical, methodological and Practical dimensions. Strategic success desired by business organizations is stimulated by an epistemological and ontological balance in the context of holistic and realism outlook, which is derived from the language of controversy between strategic and financial perspectives. This controversy is related with the interpretation of the relationship between diversification and value of a firm.The resulted outgrowth of gap theorizing was responding via synthesis and integration outlets between thesis, according to the arguments of resource - based theory and its focus on diversification benefits and value - maximizing hypothesis. And its antithesis, according to the arguments of agency theory with its focus on diversification costs and value - destroying hypothesis. This synthesis is culminated by the disclosure of the distinct role of real options approach as a harmony stimulating different perspectives according to three empirical and analytical studies on a sample consisted of the largest American companies listed in Fortune 500 along with seven years period (2005 - 2011). This first local attempt, which has based on panel data analysis for interpreting an expected variance of firm value due to diversification strategy, may helps with a clear vision to solve the contradiction and confusion between strategic and financial thoughts to explore the true linkages between the two studied constructs , as a strategic objective pursued towards the intent of survival in the radical environment of 21 - st century.Awareness conceptualization of the research problem with its dimensions on the one hand, and trying to overcome its effects on the other hand, have led to deduct many hypotheses to explain the relationship between diversification and firm value in relation with the first two studies, which have been coincided with moderators in consistent with the resource - based and agency theories. In addition, other hypotheses of the third study, have abducted in the context of synthesis through real options theory accompanied by an active corporate governance mechanisms. This has done in response to the dialectical analysis process and to reach the targeted strategic balance in terms of a true diversification cost - benefit tradeoff towards achieving value maximization objective, which its roots are derived from the firm's mission, vision, creed and ideology.The statistical analysis has revealed that many hypotheses were valid, including those of real options lens, which have explained the significant moderating role of corporate governance mechanisms in the positive relationship between the related diversification and firm value.Results indicate the logic and validity of the integrated perspective in exploring a diversification - option value linkage - based strategic balance thesis under some corporate governance mechanisms; Board Independency and Management Ownership. This entails multi - segments firms to be aware of the imperative of the true balance between cost and benefits of the growth through diversification in order to market new products in other industries for acquiring the benefits of multi - point competition
