Garden Gate is a one-location nursery business, selling plants and flowers for home gardeners. The new owners want to grow through either a product development or diversification strategy. What will the owners likely do if they pursue either strategy?
What will be an ideal response?
If they pursue a product development strategy, they will offer new products or services to the firm's current target market. A nursery could logically provide a landscape design consulting service, landscape maintenance service, soil and pest testing service, or add additional products such as indigenous plants. If they pursue a diversification strategy, they would market new products or services to a market segment they are not currently serving. Targeting landscape design or maintenance services for commercial customers would be one type of diversification.
