title: Diversification strategy and performance: implications for health services research.
abstract: Health care represents a promising area of research due to its uniqueness. In recent years, considerable progress has been made in diversification strategy and performance research but not the study of health services strategy research. This article reviews diversification strategy and performance in health services domains. Adopting Datta, Rajagopalan, and Rasheed's (1991) framework, the authors evaluate the theoretical and empirical contributions of this research. The limitations and theoretical implications of these efforts are also explored.
