Abstract: We determine all maximal subgroups of the direct product $sc{G}^n$ of $scn$ copies of a group~$scG$. If $scG$ is finite, we show that the number of maximal subgroups of~$sc{G}^n$ is a quadratic function of~$scn$ if $scG$ is perfect, but grows exponentially otherwise. We~deduce a theorem of Wiegold about the growth behaviour of the number of generators of~$sc{G}^n$.
