Inorganic Growth
Expansion through mergers, acquisitions, or partnerships rather than organic growth through internal development and market expansion.
Implications
Expansion achieved through mergers, acquisitions, and strategic alliances, rather than through internal development and organic growth, often used to quickly scale operations, enter new markets, or acquire new capabilities.
Example
Example: A large retail chain pursues inorganic growth by acquiring smaller competitors in key regions, rapidly increasing its market share and geographic footprint without the need to build new stores from the ground up.
Related Terms
Different from organic growth, which focuses on internal development and scaling through existing operations, inorganic growth relies on external opportunities to drive expansion and achieve strategic objectives.
