Technological diversification has been linked to a wide range of phenomena, including financial performance, innovation, product diversification and inter‐organizational relationships. This is the first systematic review of this literature and provides an overview of its historical development and conceptual foundations. It finds that the role of contingency factors impacting the positive relationship between technological diversification and financial performance needs further exploration. Also, it finds that the research on the links between technological diversification and inter‐organizational relationships requires consolidation. This paper suggests three avenues for further research. First, it sets out an agenda for identifying the antecedents of technological diversification. Second, it identifies contextual factors that could shape the relationship between technological diversification and performance. Third, it argues that technological diversification research must engage with contemporary technological and organizational developments such as digital organizations, open boundaries and networks.

技术多元化：对前因，结果和调节效应的系统评价

技术多样化与广泛的现象相关，包括财务绩效，创新，产品多样化和组织间关系。这是对该文献的首次系统综述，并概述了其历史发展和概念基础。研究发现，意外因素影响技术多元化与财务绩效之间积极关系的作用需要进一步探索。此外，它发现，关于技术多样化与组织间关系之间联系的研究需要巩固。本文提出了三种进一步研究的途径。首先，它确定了确定技术多样化的先决条件的议程。第二，它确定了可能影响技术多样化与绩效之间关系的背景因素。第三，它认为技术多样化研究必须与当代技术和组织发展相结合，例如数字组织，开放边界和网络。
