A fundamental part of any firm's corporate strategy is its choice of what portfolio of business to compete in.

This is because related diversification presumably allows the corporate center to exploit the interrelationships that exist among its different businesses (SBUs) and so achieve cost and/or differentiation competitive advantages over its rivals.
