Overview

Topic 2.1, 'Growing the Business', is a cornerstone of the GCSE Business specification. Examiners frequently use this topic for higher-mark evaluation questions because it requires candidates to weigh the benefits of expansion against the significant risks and costs involved. You will need to understand the distinct routes to growth—organic (internal) and inorganic (external)—and be able to apply these concepts to specific business scenarios. Furthermore, mastering economies of scale and the drivers of globalisation will allow you to access the highest marking bands.
