Çeşitlendirme stratejisi, büyümek, riskleri azaltmak ve rekabet avantajını artırmak isteyen firmalar için temel bir karardır. Araştırmanın amacı, Turkiyede, gelişmekte olan bir ülke olarak çeşitlendirme stratejileri ile firma performansı arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Araştırma istatistiksel analiz yoluyla ampirik verileri incelemektedir. Sonuçlar, şirketlerin %83'ünün yoğunlaşmış stratejisini tercih ettiğini ve bu durumun, Çeşitlendirme’ye kıyasla uzmanlaşmaya olan tercihi yansıttığını ortaya koymaktadır. Ayrıca, ilişkisiz Çeşitlendirmenin daha yüksek performans sonuçları sunduğu, sonra yoğunlaşmış stratejisi ve ilişkili Çeşitlendirmenin yer aldığını, ancak esas iş temelli stratejilerin genel olarak en düşük performans sonuçlarını verdiği görülmektedir.
