In the last few decades firms have been exhibiting very divergent diversification and integration patterns. Some firms have been expanding their scope considerably (e.g. Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Apple) sometimes in vertical and sometimes in complementary or horizontal directions; others have been expanding in some directions (e.g. horizontal), but contracting in others (e.g. vertical). Some firms have even emerged as “virtual corporations”. These patterns raise many questions that revitalize the lively debate on the relative importance of the transaction costs and the knowledge-based views to explain the boundaries of firms. This panel session brings together leading scholars that have contributed in this area for the purpose of stimulating an interactive discussion on firm scope and elaborate on the implications for future research.
