Chapter 11 - Diversification Strategies

Nucor is a company focused on making steel.  The company has three major segments - Steel Mills, Steel Products and Raw Materials - but operates in no other industry.  As expressed in the last blog, Nucor has worked diligently to vertically integrate when applicable and beneficial to the firm, but Nucor has not stepped out of its industry via corporate diversification.  At this point in time, Nucor follows a limited corporate diversification strategy and is a single-business firm.
