Considering that some operations belong to integration rather that to diversification and that other represent true diversifications but are more endured than intended, it becomes evident that actual diversifications are less frequent than it might appear and are explained by an industrial constraint common to both public and private sector, ie. the imperative of evolution which no manager can ignore whatsoever. This however presupposes in turn the possibility for such managers of enjoying at the same time a certain autonomy to fix their strategies and choose the means for reaching the planned targets. That is why autonomy of management has to be rule and State intervention only the exception
