Inorganic Entry Strategy
A market entry approach that involves mergers, acquisitions, or partnerships rather than organic growth.
Implications
A method of entering a new market or expanding market presence through acquisitions, mergers, or partnerships, rather than organic growth strategies like building new operations from scratch, often used to quickly gain market share, access new technologies, or acquire talent.
Example
Example: A global tech company uses an inorganic entry strategy to enter the cloud computing market by acquiring a leading cloud service provider, gaining immediate market presence and access to established customer relationships.
Related Terms
Different from organic entry strategies, which involve internal development and gradual market penetration, inorganic strategies focus on external growth through acquisitions or alliances, providing faster but potentially more complex market entry.
