A new range of PowerPoint resources aimed at assisting teachers with the delivery of the CAIE (9609) A-level Business specification. These slides are designed to support the delivery of 1.3.3 Business Growth. The slides commence with an assessment of organic growth before then examining the concept and methods of external growth such as takeovers, mergers, and conglomerate integration.  Next the presentation considers the impact of mergers and takeovers upon stakeholders before it then considers the reasons why external growth might not achieve its objectives.  It concludes with an assessment of joint ventures and strategic alliances and their roles in business growth.  The slides contain the Quick Fire Five questions and also a practice extended answer question (both with suggested solutions).
