Level of Diversification

General Electric has three business areas it focuses in: infrastructure, finance, and media. I think each one of these subgroups are very different from one another and there is minimal overlap between them. As a result, I would say GE has a very high level of diversification and that the groups are "unrelated". The definition of unrelated means the less than 70% of revenue comes from the dominant business, and there are no common links between businesses. There services and products within their three subgroups consist of a large level of diversification. They include: appliances, aviation, healthcare, consumer electronics, lighting, media/entertainment, oil/gas, energy, rail, electrical, finance-business, finance-consumer, software/service, and water. This variety provides some overlap within the subgroups however still remain an unrelated diversification overall.
