On the website, http://www.inc.com, I read an article that talked about using the right business development strategy to aid in a company’s expansion. The article talked about strategies such as: selling higher quantities of products, expanding business to other areas, and developing new products to sell.

There are many ways to guide a business through a period of expansion.

The example of Apple shows how introducing the iPod and the iPhone helped the interest of the company grow and many of them bought laptops to go with their new devices. With the right business development strategy, any company can grow.
