a. Conglomerate firm
b. Dominant-business firm
c. Related-linked diversified firm
d. Single-busines firm

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is B.

Explanation:

As WLM has 15% of their revenue coming from selling other relevant products leaving the other 85% coming from selling luxury sport cars, this level of revenue diversification catagorizes WLM into a dominant-business firm which is defined as firm having 70%-95% of their income from a single business.

WLM is diversified well as enough not to be considered as single-business firm which has more than 95% of their revenue from a single type product. However, to be defined as a related-linked diversified firm, WLM's revenue sources should be more diversified in which less than 70% of their income coming from a single business.

WLM is far from being the Conglomerate as Conglomerate is defined as a Corporation operating in multi-industry.
