This thesis investigates several topics surrounding diversification strategies by focusing on Indonesian medium and large manufacturing plants. Understanding plants' behaviour in terms of diversification strategy is not only important from a microeconomic standpoint, but also provides rich background information to aid our understanding of macroeconomic issues, policy implications, and a plant's relationship with other economic actors such as consumers, labour supply, or investors. This thesis is comprised of three main analysis chapters (Chapter 4, 5, and 6). Chapter 4 discusses the determinants of plant decision on product scope; Chapter 5 investigates the impacts of product scope and product concentration to the plants' export performance; Chapter 6 examines the impacts of market scope and market concentration to the plants' export performance.From a theoretical perspective, Chapter 4 extends two theoretical models in explaining firm's decision-making processes in terms of the variety of products it produces (product scope) and puts forward three hypotheses, the first is drawn from original models and the second and the third come from extended models. The first hypothesis depicts the relationship between productivity and product scope in an inverted U-shaped curve (Feenstra & Ma 2007) or in a concave and positive monotonic curve (Baldwin & Gu 2009). Second, a firm in a more competitive market has a leaner product scope when compared with firms in a less competitive market. Third, the gap between product scope for exporters and non-exporters starts from a negative value and then becomes more positive for higher levels of productivity. Furthermore, while this gap declines after a firm reaches a high enough level of productivity in the extended Feenstra and Ma model, the gap becomes almost stagnant at very high productivity in the extended Baldwin and Gu model. In terms of empirical analysis, this chapter examines supplyside and competition factors as determinants of product scope in Indonesian medium and large manufacturing plants during 2000-2012. The results indicate an inverted U-shaped relationship between productivity and product scope as predicted in the first theoretical hypothesis, although this is not consistently significant in all specifications. The third theoretical hypothesis can also be proven in one of the experiments. This study finds that factors such as being larger in size, having less competition, or being older is not only associated with, but may cause, a plant to produce more products. Having access to imported materials or selling to export markets is also associated with having a wider product scope for plants. There is a weak indication that plants with majority foreign ownership tend to have a leaner product scope compared to domestic plants. This study also finds a non-monotonic relationship between product scope and quintiles of export intensity in the form of an inverted V-shaped curve (maximum in first quintile), which may depict the plants' behaviour to introduce new products iv at lower export intensity and to refine the product choices as they become more focus on export market.Chapter 5 examines the impacts of both product scope and product concentration on the export performance of Indonesian manufacturing plants for the period 2008-2012. A normalised concentration index is used to exclude non-varying concentration values from single-product exporters and the technical influence of product scope in the value of the concentration index. The main finding of this chapter is that broader product scope and more concentrated product portfolio generate higher export.
