The question of whether corporations add value beyond that created by individual businesses has engendered much debate in recent years. Some of this debate has focused on the pros and cons of related versus unrelated diversification. A standard explanation of the benefits of related diversification has to do with the ability to obtain intra - temporal economies of scope from contemporaneous sharing of resources by related businesses within the firm. In contrast, this paper deals with inter - temporal economies of scope that firms achieve by redeploying resources and capabilities between related businesses over time, as firms exit some markets while entering others. The transfer of resources due to market exit distinguishes our treatment of inter - temporal economies of scope from standard inter - temporal economies of scope. In addition, these inter - temporal economies can benefit from a decentralized and modular organizaitonal structure. This ability to obtain inter - temporal economies of scope via organizational modularity and recombination suggests that corporations do not necessarily need a high degree of coordination between business units in order to benefit from a strategy of related diversification.
