Understanding Organic Growth in organizations-The Panagora Blog
In an organic growth strategy, a business utilizes all of its resources – without the need to borrow – to expand its operations and grow the company. Organic growth is typically marked by an increase in output, greater efficiency and speed with production and higher revenue. It is critical for the success of a company.
What is an organic growth strategy?
Organic growth is the growth a company achieves by increasing output and enhancing sales internally. This does not include profits or growth attributable to mergers and acquisitions but rather an increase in sales and expansion through the company's own internal resources resources.Organic (or internal) growth involves expansion from within a business, for example by expanding the product range, or number of business units and location.
Organic growth builds on the business’ own capabilities and resources. For most businesses, this is the only expansion method used.
Organic growth involves strategies such as:
- Developing new product ranges
- Launching existing products directly into new international markets (e.g. exporting)
- Opening new business locations – either in the domestic market or overseas
- Investing in additional production capacity or new technology to allow increased output and sales volumes
Organic growth builds on the business' own capabilities and resources. For most businesses, this is the only expansion method used. Some examples of businesses that have implemented successful organic growth strategies are illustrated in the charts below for Dominos UK, Apple and Costa Coffee.
