Internal and external growth, economies of scale, strategy tools, and managing change.
Methods of growth
Internal (organic): expanding output, new products or outlets — steady, lower risk.
External (inorganic): mergers and takeovers — fast, but risk of culture clashes and overpaying.
Integration: horizontal (same stage/industry), vertical (different stage — supplier or distributor), or conglomerate (unrelated).
