单词 diversification
释义
diversification

Geology and Earth Sciences
  • Increase in the diversity of distinct types in one or more taxonomic categories (i.e. species, genus, etc., see classification). Phanerozoic, marine invertebrates with well-developed hard parts provide an illustration: their diversity at phylum level remains much the same throughout, whereas at family level there is a peak at the mid-Palaeozoic, and a trough at the Permo–Triassic boundary; after this there is a steady increase to a second, higher peak in the Cenozoic.


Geography
  • A spread of the activities of a firm or a country between different types of products or different markets, in order to reduce over-dependence; as in the Arab Gulf (Malecki and Ewers (2007) PHG 31, 4). Horizontal diversification is diversification between same-type investments; see Achilladelis and Antonakis (2001) Res. Policy 30, 4. Vertical diversification is adding different investments to a portfolio. Diversification for a small open economy is inevitably protracted, involving a change in economic structure. Supportive conditions include low inflation, stable exchange rates, and a labour-market environment with few worker–employer conflicts. Diversification is not an inescapable route to output stability (Chan (2006) Monetary Authority of Macao). Herzer et al. (2006) Appl. Econ. 38, 15 find that export diversification plays an important role in economic growth.


Economics
  • 1. A spread of the activities of a firm or a country between different types of products or different markets. The truly single-product firm is highly exceptional and practically all firms are diversified to some extent. The advantage of diversified markets is that a firm or country will be at less risk, as its markets are unlikely all to slump at the same time.

    2. The division of an investment portfolio between a range of financial assets. If the assets in the portfolio are correctly selected diversification can reduce risk.
