Business Growth Strategies
Introduction

•   Market size and growth is slight.
•   Marketing costs may be high
•   Distribution is selective.
•   Profit is not likely.
Growth

• Characterised by rapid growth in
  sales and profits.
• Profits arise due to an increase in
  output (economies of scale)and
  possibly better prices.
• It is cheaper for businesses to
  invest in increasing their market
  share
• Increase in distribution channel as
  demand increase.
Maturity

• Competition is most intense as
  companies fight to maintain their
  market share.
• Both marketing and finance become
  key activities.
• The most profit is earned by the
  industry as a whole.
• Distribution channel becomes intense
• Research pours into product
  modification and improvement and
  perhaps to improve production
  efficiency and quality.
Decline

• Market is shrinking, reducing the
  overall amount of profit that can
  be shared amongst the remaining
  competitors.
• Newer and better products are
  available
• There should be a plan to exit the
  market if not profitable anymore
BUSINESS GROWTH STRATEGIES
Growth Strategies

•   Market Penetration.
    –   The least risky growth strategy for any business is to simply sell more
        of its current product to its current customer.
• New Products for existing customers
    –   it involves developing new products to sell to your existing customers
        as well as to new ones.
• New Products for New Customers.
    – Sometimes, market conditions dictate that you must create new products for
      new customers, eg Toyota and Lexus
• Alternative Channels.
    –   This growth strategy involves pursuing customers in a different way such as,
        for example, selling your products online.
Growth Strategies

• Diversification
   –   This is when you decide to be a part of many unrelated businesses. The
       Dangote group is an example with investments in noodles, transport,
       cement, etc same with the Honeywell Group with Investments in Oil and
       Gas, Flour Mills. Noodles production, Real Estate etc
• Integrative Growth Strategies
   –   Every market structure has Value chain( suppliers), Competitors – Large and
       Small and those who provide value add to their products. Eg will be
       software for PCs, ring tones to telecoms.
   –   What is a value chain------
   –   What is value add
   –   One may seek growth by either building partnership and Alliances with
       some of the other players in the industry, or pure merge or acquire them
Growth Strategies
• Horizontal Integration
   – This growth strategy would involve buying a competing business or
     businesses.
   – A variation of this is Acquisition, where one company acquires the other and
     Mergers where two equals agree to go together.
• Backward Integration
   – A backward integrative growth strategy would involve buying one of your
     suppliers as a way to better control your supply chain.
   – Doing so could help you to develop new products faster and potentially more
     cheaply.
   – It could help reduce your cost.
• Forward Integration
   – Acquisitions can also be focused on buying component
     companies that are part of your distribution chain
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Food for thoughts

•   What are the Market Trends?
•   What do they suggest?
•   What is the product lifecycle of the market?
•   What is the market size?
•   How many competitors?
•   What is our market share?
•   What is our stage of business growth?
Final Words
