Organic growth occurs whenever a firm increases its production and sales internally through methods such as geographical expansion, product diversification or increased advertising and promotion of its current product range.
A merger occurs whenever two firms agree to join together to form one larger company. Mergers can be classified as horizontal, vertical (vertical forward and vertical backward), lateral and conglomerate.
An acquisition occurs when one firm takes over another firm or buys a part of another firm. Acquisitions can be friendly or hostile.
