Growth Strategy
People are laid off

for economic reasons, ie. the company doesn’t have enough work for them. People are fired because their work or behavior is unsatisfactory.

Organic growth refers to natural expansion through the growth of sales; non-organic generally refers to growth by acquisition.

Business Ecosystems
Reading

Слайд 36

Business ecosystem: An economic community supported by a foundation of interacting

organizations and individuals—the organisms of the business world. This economic community produces goods and services of value to customers, who are themselves members of the ecosystem. The member organizations also include suppliers, lead producers, competitors, and other stakeholders. Over time, they co-evolve their capabilities and roles, and tend to align themselves with the directions set by one or more central companies. Those companies holding leadership roles may change over time, but the function of ecosystem leader is valued by the community because it enables members to move toward shared visions to align their investments and to find mutually supportive roles.

Business Ecosystems

Reading

Слайд 37

SAP orchestrates an ecosystem of business persons, developers, and IT services

professionals who span business strategy, business processes, technology, and operations.
Within the ecosystem, customers co-innovate and partners collaborate to achieve results that test cost, time, and expertise limitations in everyday business.
While unified by shared business goals, communities are fluid enough to ensure that information is dynamic, agile, and accessible.

Reading

Слайд 38

Oracle has chosen to expand by making acquisitions, sometimes of big

companies with quite different skills.
SAP grows more organically and it makes acquisitions when they are smaller and more closely related to what they already do.
SAP’s long-term strategy is to increase sales to medium-sized companies and to develop a platform for all its applications.
