This research analyzes the drivers of firm growth strategies and the relationship between internationalization and diversification based on the longitudinal study of the Volkswagen Group from 1937 until 2007. The study shows that firm resources, the needs of consumers, and the needs of the business all influence choices of growth strategies. The study also shows that internationalization need not be at the expense of diversification. Indeed, it seems to be an inevitable decision to internationalize and at the same diversify the range of offered products in order to avoid failure in the turbulent, investment-intensive automotive industry.

Building on familiarity, B&BW integrated Astute's RealDialog and RealDialog Agent Assist to streamline the voluminous information agents had to access in order to provide targeted answ...
