华为多元化战略

Companies always face the dilemma as to the strategic choice between diversification and single-focus. Do companies need to adopt diversification strategies? If so, at what time and phase should such strategies be implemented? This case takes Huawei as an example and approaches this issue from the perspectives of corporate finance and accounting. During its growth as a communication device supplier, Huawei had several chances to enter the mobile phones industry. It faced a major decision at the end of 2010. While it had become a global leader in communication devices, its terminal business unit, which mainly tailor-made mobile phones for carriers, was mired in the doldrums. How should the mobile phones business pursue development in the future? From 2011, Huawei, which had focused on communication devices, began diversifying. After identifying the major strategic importance for both consumer and corporate businesses, both units thrived.
