Does the existence of conglomerates make financial performance evaluation easier or more difficult? Why?
Conglomerates, or diversified companies, often operate in many unrelated industries. In addition, the conglomerate will normally report only on a consolidated basis. As a result, the use of industry norms becomes difficult because there may not be another conglomerate made up of the same group of industries.
