Reliance Jio - Diversification
What kind of
diversification is it? Analyze.
Reliance Industries has diversified into unrelated area by diversifying into the telecom business,
where they cannot leverage any kind of capabilities that they have developed via previous
ventures of Oil & Gas. Historically, they have always ventured into unrelated diversification
when they entered the retail business after Oil & Gas.
Once reliance Jio is into the market and its capabilities in the field of LTE networks & Services
like TV & music is created, Reliance would than go into Concentric Diversification in stage 2 of
Reliance JIO. Concentric Diversification can termed as enlarging the production portfolio by
adding new products with the aim of fully utilizing the potential of the existing technologies and
marketing system. The concentric diversification can be a lot more financially efficient as a
strategy, since the business may benefit from some synergies in this diversification model. It
may enforce some investments related to modernizing or upgrading the existing processes or
systems. Here reliance Jio would enter a series of new businesses which are related to its
existing capabilities which includes networks & Apps ecosystem.
Thus they are going to use the economies of Scope to enter multiple business by just creating
a capability for a single business i.e. Telecom which would ultimately give them profitability
by creating multiple streams of revenue from a single capability i.e. of LTE Towers.
