HWL makes no efforts to share activities or transfer core competencies among the businesses. HWL is following a strategy of __________ diversification.

Answer 1

Unrelated diversification

Step-by-step explanation:

Unrelated diversification is a type of diversification whenever new or unrelated business units are introduced and new businesses penetrate. For example, if the shoe manufacturer is going into the clothing business. In this situation, there's no direct link with the existing business of the organization. Therefore this diversification is listed as unrelated.
