Transition
Firm
Value
investigate the effectiveness of service transition strategies for generating shareholder value by
evaluating secondary data pertaining to 477 publicly traded manufacturing firms during 1990-2005. The impact of
a firm's transition to services on firmvalue (as measured
by Tobin's q) remains relatively flat or slightly negative
until the firm reaches a critical mass of service sales
after which point they have an increasingly

depends on both firmand industry factors.
Service transition strategies are more effective at enhancing value when the service offerings are related more to
the firm's core business and when firms have more available resources (i.e., resource slack). The impact of adding
services to core products on firmvalue amplifies as industry turbulence increases but diminishes when the firm's
core products are in high-growth industries.

Data
We focus our investigation of service transition strategies
on U.S.-based, publicly traded manufacturing firms with
primary Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes of
28-39 over a 16-year period, from 1990 to 2005. These SIC
codes cover a wide range of manufacturing industries,
including chemical products, industrial machinery, elec
tronic equipment, and transportation equipment. We obtain
the data frommultiple sources, including theCOMPUSTAT

theCOMPUSTAT
Business Segment database, which pro
vides firm sales revenue for different business operating
segments, as defined by the firm's management. From the
description of these business segments and their respective
SIC codes, we divide them into service and nonservice. For
example, a business segment consists of a service when the
description of the segment is "global service" with an SIC
code of 7379 or "financial service" with an SIC of 6153.

Results
In Table 4 (Model 2), we present the results for the full
model. The significant, positive effect of the quadratic term
of service ratio (b = 1.15, p < .05) indicates that the effects
of service transition strategies on firm value are not con
stantbut rather increase at a progressive rate at higher levels
of service transition.The negative linear effect (b = -.68,
p < .05) furtherreveals thatat low levels of a service transi
tion strategy, the effect on firm value is minimal or even
slightly negative. We depict this relationship graphically in
Figure 1 and show that a service transition strategyhas no
appreciable impact on firm value in the 0%-20% range. A
slight curvature reaches a minimum at approximately 15%,
but the decline in firm value is not significant. Only when
service intensitymoves into the 20%-30% range do service
transition strategies begin to influence firm value positively
and at a rapidly increasing rate. Thus, we find support for
