Find a company that has recently acquired a company from a different industry. Look at the justifications in the press release (or other documentation). Describe both businesses briefly (the one that was doing the acquiring, and the one that was being acquired). Does this appear to be related diversification, or unrelated diversification? What benefits do they hope to achieve with this action (correlate this benefit with one of the standard benefits discussed in the text).
