摘要：Employing concepts of lateral and longitudinal learning, we examined the dissolution of 462 expansions of Dutch firms, both acquisitions and new ventures. We interpreted the endurance of an expansion as reflecting success.

Expansions were also likely to last longer if a firm's prior diversification activity level was high.
