Abstract : This paper develops and tests new theory about the determinants of value creation in unrelated multibusiness firms from a resource-based perspective. The authors argue that the availability of "headquarter resources", which are at the basis of headquarter services provided to the business units, is the driving force behind unrelated diversification.

Keywords : diversification conglomerate parenting effect resource-based view leveraged buyout management buyout private equity
