Talk:Organic growth

How stable is inorganically growing, if the acquisitions are debt driven.If an organization cannot manage to grow organically , is it safe to attempt to jump by M&A? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.8.138.187 (talk • contribs) 05:38, 2 February 2007

You must be kidding
I have an MBA degree, and I never heard the term "organic growth" or "inorganic growth" being used with respect to business in any of the courses I took, in print in any reputable business publication, nor in over 25 years in private industry. I think the originator of this article was smokin'. &mdash;QuicksilverT @ 02:10, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

I am currently studying for a degree in Finance and this is a term that is usually used by financial analysts. The term has come up in a number of accounting and finance courses I have taken. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.200.79.244 (talk) 20:42, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

I am an analyst at a corporate bank, and organic growth is an industry standard term for topline growth achieved before any M&A activity. It can be broken down into price growth (largely a reference to inflation) and volume growth. It surprises me that you have never heard of this Quicksilver - perhaps you should question the quality of your MBA? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.36.80.124 (talk) 17:43, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Please think before pressing those buttons on your keyboard. Perhaps get another MBA from another place for better luck? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.144.9.93 (talk) 12:07, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

Huge omissions here
It would be better to rename the page "Organic business growth" as the present title refers to natural organic growth.

Growth in natural and human systems is called organic for being an organizational process leading to making some kind of system "organ". It's a huge subject, that all of business is built around but seemingly ignorant of too. The money doesn't tell you much at all about the organizational process, which is too bad, since the remarkable success of business growth has also been accumulating prohibitive future liabilities for mankind. The reason is that compound growth (building systems for building more systems) is an economically 'disruptive' exponential process that crosses all thresholds of its own and its environment's stability.

You've probably heard that... right? It's true. Interest in the organizational basis of growth would help you understand, why things that start with a process of accumulating by ever bigger steps need to transition to something sustainable, both the whole and the parts.

Vertical Integration
“Merger between two firms in the same industry but at different stages of the production process example a car assembly plant merging with the tire producer on the other hand is an example of a vertical merger and vertical mergers may be either upstream or downstream safeguard company merges with a component supplier that is known as backward integration as it involves merging with a firm that is involved in an earlier part of the production process forward integration entails merging in the other direction for example if the car assembly plant decided to merge with a large distributor an example of backward integration is when hotel chocolate acquired its own cocoa plantation in Saint Lucia. 82.0.117.247 (talk) 22:36, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
