問題:The directors of Moony Inc have recently received a report from a consultant recommending that the company should take steps to secure its long-term future by spreading risk through diversification.
  Which of the following companies is Moony most likely to wish to acquire in order to consolidate its position and reduce risk?
  A. A significant customer.
  B. A company making similar products.
  C. A company making complementary products.
  D. A company in a different industry sector.
  答案:The correct answer is: A company in a different industry sector.
  This is most likely to improve diversification because Moony will be varying what it does, but the directors will need to confirm that the factors influencing the success of Moony's existing operations will not have the same impact upon the company that it is trying to acquire.
  None of the other acquisitions are likely to improve diversification much.
