In the present note, we have discussed the growth strategies to enhance the overall business of a company using game theory. An optimal game theory solution happens when one of the companies participating in the game reaches the maximal outcome. Business and growth strategy is an emulsion of not only the innovation of the company but also the ability to access the moves of the competitors.

999 is a Thai company that sells, distributes and supports medical equipment and supplies. It has achieved steady growth in its 30 years of existence but now faces unprecedented problems due to environmental change through the implementation of the most recent stage of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Economic Community (AEC) and other challenges. As an emerging, ageing, affluenza-suffering country, Thailand offers a number of interesting opportunities for a company in this sector but those opportunities also appeal to current and potential competitors. Should 999 be thinking of defending its current position or seeking to expand to new markets within the region?

This study reviews the growth strategies and their effect on the efficiency and productivity of the microfinance sector of Pakistan. The sector needs to have adopted intensive growth strategy instead of extensive strategies of wide expansion in term of physical infrastructure and human resources, which had increased the financial sustainability risks for the credit constrain institutions. The sixdimension model of outreach used in this study also shows that the sector does not achieve the targets set forth for these micro finance institutes with respect to its active borrowers’ outreach. The sector has mainly focused the big cities and urban areas whereas the poverty levels are higher in rural areas. The government has also shown its interest by launching two different types of loan schemes. Among the three different types of institution, the microfinance banks dominate the sector.

Moreover, the IE matrix showed that the company’s position is in the concentration strategy through horizontal integration or stability. This is a state where the company is experiencing a period of growth. These results inferred that the fittest strategy the company should implement is a growth strategy through horizontal integration. It is an activity to expand the company by building outlets, stores, and mall sales in as many cities as possible in Indonesia, and also to improve the products through product innovations. The result of SWOT diagram also showed that the company carries out aggressive strategy or at quadrant 1 that possesses positive value.         From the research results, it can be concluded that the company should implement SO (Strengths-Opportunities) strategy for the company to maintain the ability to survive in the business competition.

Fund Industry

We investigate the growth strategies of hedge fund firms. We find that firms with successful first funds are able to launch follow-on funds that charge higher performance fees, set more onerous redemption terms, and attract greater inflows. Motivated by the aforementioned spillover effects, first funds outperform follow-on funds, after adjusting for risk. Consistent with the agency view, greater incentive alignment moderates the performance differential between first and follow-on funds. Moreover, multiple-product firms underperform single-product firms but harvest greater fee revenues, thereby hurting investors while benefitting firm partners. Investors respond to this growth strategy by redeeming from first funds of firms with follow-on funds that do poorly. Empirically, the multiple-product firm has become the dominant business model for the hedge fund industry. This paper was accepted by Tyler Shumway, finance.

Growth Responses

Climate models predict significant rainfall reduction in Amazonia, reducing water availability for trees. We present how functional traits modulate the tree growth response to climate. We used data from 3 years of bimestrial growth measurements for 204 trees of 53 species in the forest of Paracou, French Guiana. We integrated climate variables from an eddy covariance tower and functional trait values describing life history, leaf, and stem economics. Our results indicated that the measured functional traits are to some extent linked to the response of trees to climate but they are poor predictors of the tree climate-induced growth variation. Tree growth was affected by water availability for most of the species with different species growth strategies in drought conditions. These strategies were linked to some functional traits, especially maximum height and wood density. These results suggest that (i) trees seem adapted to the dry season at Paracou but they show different growth responses to drought, (ii) drought response is linked to growth strategy and is partly explained by functional traits, and (iii) the limited part of the variation of tree growth explained by functional traits may be a strong limiting factor for the prediction of tree growth response to climate.

The research employs a purposive sampling technique. Data triangulation is used based on reports, websites, and interviews with social entrepreneurs and employees. Findings The study has three main findings: describing the intangible resources needed by social ventures to grow; detailing the growth strategies adopted by social ventures and corresponding funding mechanisms; explaining how intangible resources affect the selection of growth strategies, and how these interact with the context to produce expected outcomes. Overall, a typology for growth strategies of social ventures is presented. Research limitations/implications This paper is an original attempt to advance research on social enterprises in relation to the RBV and the domain of venture growth and impact scale-up. Practical implications This research is beneficial for social ventures and venture philanthropists who wish to learn about the specific resources important for venture growth, and understand the suitable strategies and context for organizational growth and impact scale-up. Originality/value This research is one of the few attempts to study and explain the types of intangible resources in social ventures and the role of different resource bundles in deciding social venture growth strategy.
