A large corporation that operates in multiple, often unrelated industries, using its diverse business portfolio to reduce risk and capitalize on various market opportunities, typically managed through a decentralized structure.
Example
Example: General Electric (GE) is a diversified conglomerate with businesses in sectors ranging from aviation and healthcare to energy and financial services, allowing it to spread risk and leverage synergies across its operations.
Related Terms
