Primes

• Sacrifice Periphery To Defend Core
  • In business strategy it is divesting non-core units to concentrate capital on the core franchise, and deliberately cannibalizing declining products to fund successors.

    This sourceFinds that divesting non-core units to refocus on the core business created market value for over-diversified firms, evidence for deliberate periphery-shedding to strengthen the core.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
