"Bigger is not always better”… really??
Well, success in today's dynamic markets sometimes demand strategic agility over sheer size. That’s sure! However, while some organizations thrive within a niche, leveraging focused vision and leadership, others must embrace growth in all dimensions – horizontally and vertically – to stay ahead.
Companies like Zara, Ikea, Alibaba, Ryanair confirmed that rapid expansion, driven by innovation, strategic acquisitions, and a focus on customer needs, can lead to sustained success and competitiveness in diverse industries on a global scale.
On the other side, Patagonia, In-N-Out Burger, Tiffany and Dyson have also demonstrated that prioritizing excellence in a specific niche over rapid expansion can lead to long-term success and sustainability.
Inndetermining whether to pursue rapid growth or maintain profitability in a niche market, businesses must consider factors such as market demand, competition, technological advancements, regulatory environment, consumer preferences, and financial resources.
"Bigger is not always better”... should be put in a broader market scenario. As a business strategist, firstly I always take a look inside the organization before looking out seeking growth. Most time simple inhouse changes and improvements can really provide a significant impulse forward.
