    La relación entre la estrategia de diversificación y el rendimiento empresarial ha sido una temática de mucha im- portancia para académicos de diferentes áreas desde hace varias décadas, los cuales han reconocido diferentes factores que pueden afectar esta relación. La revisión de la literatura en la que se basa este artículo ha permitido identificar 11 factores prin- cipales que pueden impactar los resultados empresariales de una empresa que ha decidido diversificarse (Tipo, modo, grado, gobernanza, I+D, Tecnologías de la información y comunicación, riesgo, conocimiento, industria, tamaño y edad). El análisis se ha enmarcado en la evidencia empírica hallada en 55 estudios realizados durante el periodo comprendido entre 2003 y 2014
