  • The risk of diversification can be reduced when a company plans its growth across time.
  • Before entering a new market with a new product, a company can develop a new product for the existing market.
  • Next, it can take the product that has been successfully introduced in the existing market to a new market.
  • Alternatively, it could introduce an existing product to a new market to gain market knowledge, create brand awareness and brand image, get access to distribution channels, and then develop a new product for this market.

Figure Note 19-3 - Building from the Core and Identifying Adjacencies

*

  • Strategy consultant and author Chris Zook has suggested that firms should identify their core - their essential, enduring, and defensible strengths.
  • The first requirement in considering opportunities with regard to their relationship to the firm’s core is to define that core rigorously and accurately.
  • Once the firm has clarified its core strengths it should look for opportunities that build upon those strengths.
  • There are firms and situations for which growth is an unrealistic objective.
