Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extract: Leading U.S. food manufacturers typically produce and sell a growing array of food products. Many have also expanded into related wholesale, transportation, and food service industries, while avoiding large-scale involvement in agriculture and food retailing. Diversification by food manufacturers into unrelated product lines declined in the seventies. That decline, coupled with continued increases in diversification into food-related products, led to stabilization in average levels of diversification, after persistent increases since 1919. Successful diversification frequently depends on how readily employees' skills can be transferred to new products. Much recent diversification in the food industries has been based upon the transfer of marketing skills among consumer product industries and technical skills in commodity processing and transportation among producer goods industries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation consists of two studies. One is about the level of product diversification of multiproduct firms. The other is about the product switching decision of multiproduct firms. Most of the existing studies rely on economies of scope or strategic considerations to explain why firms produce multiple products. However, only a few explain why the level of product diversification varies across multiproduct firms. I extend the Dixit-Stiglitz monopolistic competitive model to analyze product diversification of heterogeneous multiproduct firms, focusing on the role of firm-specific productivity. The model shows that the firm's level of product diversification is determined by and positively related to its productivity at the equilibrium. Using data from the Thomas Register of American Manufacturers and Compustat, I test the prediction of the theoretical model.^To overcome simultaneity bias associated with productivity, I implement a IV estimation where I use the number of product varieties offered by the upstream industries of a firm as the instrumental variable to identify exogenous changes in the firm's productivity. This IV strategy is motivated by Romer (1990) who argues that technological changes can take the form of increases in the variety of intermediate inputs. I find strong and robust empirical evidence consistent with the prediction of the theoretical model--firm productivity is a causal factor for product diversification. To understand product switching decision, I further expand the Dixit-Stiglitz model to allow for product-specific shocks. In this model, firm-specific productivity determines the range of products, and product-specific relative consumer's preference determines the composition of products offered by the firm.^This shows that, in the absence of productivity shocks, product-specific shocks induce product switching--adding the product experienced a positive demand shock and dropping the product undergone a negative shock from its original product portfolio. Assuming that a product experiences positive shocks before the market shakeout and negative shocks after shakeout as it goes through its life cycle, this result suggests that the incidence of product switching is positively correlated with the proportion of the firm's products that are in the early (growing) stage of their life cycles. This prediction is confirmed in the empirical estimation. In addition to product-specific demand shocks, I also find that larger and older firms as well as firms facing greater market competition are more likely to switch products.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Food Marketing Companies: Diversification and Structure Companies which owned more than one establishment, or multiunit companies, made up about 2 percent of all companies engaged in food marketing in l95i+. Companies studied included those processing, assembling, and distributing food products but not transporting them. However, they employed percent of the persons engaged in food marketing and accounted for 52 percent of industry payroll. Differences among the 13 major food processing and trade industries were marked. For example, multiunit companies engaged in processing meat products accounted for about 3 percent of all companies in this industry, but they accounted for almost 80 percent of industry employment and payroll. A second aspect of structure examined here is the degree to which a company classified in one industry owns establishments which operate in other industries. Most multiunit companies engaged in food marketing are single industry companies-that is, companies which own establishments all of which are classified in the same industry. However, a small but significant number of multiunit companies are multi -industry-or those some of whose establish ments are engaged in activities different from that of the parent company. Companies having establishments engaged in more than one industry were more common in the processing industries than in trade.
