Taiwan holds fairly scarce resources due to its recent unstable market, and its nature of being an island country; thus successful utilization of resources after corporate diversification is a key factor to whether or not the company succeeds. This research references element of resources from resource-based views to discuss diversification, and also analyze the effect diversification has on corporate performance. 　　The main focus of this study is to explore how resource endowments of business groups (including tangible, intangible, and human resources)affect diversification, and how different degrees of diversification influences business performance (such as financial performance and sustainable development.) The object of study of this research is 300 Taiwan business groups listed in Business groups in Taiwan published by the China Credit Information Service. Acquired data was then analyzed using regression analysis. Results show that tangible, intangible and human resource endowments all have significant positive impact on business groups’ degree of diversification.
