why is it safer for a business to grow through internal expansion rather than acquisition?
411409
An acquisition involves a lot of costs as far as combining IT departments, human resources, training, etc. and not to mention intangibles such as incompatibility between different cultures within the two companies that may arise. Expanding internally, if possible, is much more efficient and less costly. Certain exceptions do exist though. A company should only acquire another if there is some sort of value added to the company. To acquire just to expand is not recommended at all in general.

Restructuring is a great tool to wake up the crew and bring new ideas to the front, without change growth is blocked by the very ones counting on increases.   Informal organizations seem to look for new and better ideas by remaining open to input from staff, employees and customer base then take pride in sharing views....

Like any business, HD must constantly change its products or make new products to keep the consumer buying.  The trends of the demand may change, or the competition may bring out new technology that HD needs to copy.  Or HD may have some new technology itself that will increase demand in its products.  The risks are that the new product will not sell well.  In particular, the sales don't meet the costs associated with the project.  Or the product performed poorly so that the HD name brand suffers.

I think it had positive ancillary effects.  Businesses had to examine their practices in detail and evaluate what their risks were.  Doing such things is always good, even if it was because of an unknown threat.  Businesses were forced to become focused and efficient.

Yes - that's what Chapter 11 is for.  A company is profitable but for some calamity or disaster which is not going to be repeated.  Chapter 11 allows for reorganization and for the going concern value of the business to be preserved.

The business itself is growing more lucrative. But if you are talking about expansion through franchising, I would say I strongly oppose. The system in place would be ruined with an extra team, and it would further delute the talent pool of the NFL, that means worse football all around.

If you are left with this only option then you can adopt this way... I think there are communities present who tend to find short cut of everything...\n\nIf you can obtain the business by increasing the services or price cut or anyother way then why to get into it???\n\nBut if you are competing with the similiar people who also tend to find  the shortcut then there is nothing wrong or unethical to obtain the business in your own way...

It's when a firm, by being there, is good for others.  A commercial building might increase the value of the residential buildings around it because it's more convenient to have a close-by place to shop.

From the choices, it looks like A.  Decrease.\n\nWith lower margins (see monopoly versus perfect competition), the profits slim down over time and there's less room for individual growth even with the total size of the industry increasing.

Manufactureres prefer longer runs - because the set up time is a fixed cost - so more runs means that cost is apportioned off several runs so its incremental costs is less...a larger lot means again economies of scale\n\nretailers want the opposite they want small lots and frequent deliveries -why? smaller lots and frequent deleiveries mean the holding and warehousing cost is less for them plus since trends move fats they would rather holds less stock than more. Because at the end of the day - holding stock doesn't make money but moving stock (or selling it) does...\n\nSo both parties need to compromise on the level of deliveries and work out the best partnership that makes both parties benefit...because the retailer needs the manufacturer...
