本研究以企业制度与资源基础理论为基础，探讨多产品企业是否以合并为策略性工具，将其产品组合重新配置为高利润产品。我们建议，合并有利于产品组合的重新配置，通过放松体制和组织约束石油资源的重新配置。美国的数据分析。医院行业显示，相对于非合并医院，合并医院增加了其在盈利、有保险的服务方面的存在，但并没有从无保险的低利润服务中转移出来。版权所有（C）2004约翰威利父子有限公司。
This study draws oil the institutional and resource-based theories of the firm and examines whether multi-product firms use mergers as a strategic tool to reconfigure their product-mix toward high-profit products. We propose that mergers facilitate product-mix reconfiguration by relaxing institutional and organizational constraints oil resource redeployment. Analysis of data from the US. hospital industry reveals that, relative to non-merging hospitals, merging hospitals increased their presence in profitable, insured services but did not shift away from low-profit services used by the uninsured.
