The link between pre-entry conditions and the post-entry performance of diversifying entries by Korean largest business group so called Chaebol was examined. Pre-entry conditions were measured as industry, competitive interaction, parent-entrant relatedness, parent resource. The post-entry performance were measured by survival and profitability.
