This PPT slide, part of the 62-slide Corporate Strategy Toolkit PowerPoint presentation, outlines 3 primary forms of corporate development: Internal Development, Joint Development, and External Development, emphasizing their roles in executing portfolio changes through mergers and acquisitions.
Internal Development is the first category, focusing on the establishment and growth of a business unit within the company itself. This approach highlights the importance of internal growth strategies, which can lead to enhanced capabilities and innovation without the complexities of external partnerships or acquisitions.
The second category, Joint Development, involves collaboration between 2 or more companies to create a business unit without formal integration. This section notes various forms of cooperation, including informal arrangements, contract-based partnerships, minority shareholding, and joint ventures. Such collaborations can leverage the strengths of different organizations while minimizing risks associated with full mergers or acquisitions.
External Development is the final category, which encompasses actions taken to acquire or merge with other companies. This includes acquisitions, where a business unit is purchased from another firm, and mergers, where 2 companies voluntarily combine to form a new entity. This approach can rapidly enhance market presence and capabilities, but often requires careful consideration of integration challenges and cultural alignment.
Overall, the slide serves as a concise overview of these strategic options, providing insights into how organizations can navigate their growth and development paths through various methods. Understanding these forms can help executives make informed decisions about which strategy aligns best with their corporate objectives.
This slide is part of the Corporate Strategy Toolkit PowerPoint presentation.
