Internal/Organic growth is growth that occurs when a business grows on its own without involvement with other organisations.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. It can occur only with joint ventures
• D. It can only occur through franchising

Answer: (A)

Organic growth happens when a business expands using its own resources and capabilities rather than through partnerships or external structures. This includes increasing output in existing facilities, improving efficiency, launching new products with internal funding, or entering new markets using internal strengths. The statement is true because it matches this idea: growth that occurs on its own without involvement from other organisations is exactly organic growth. External growth, by contrast, involves other organisations through alliances, mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, or franchising, which is not required for organic growth. So the other options describe growth that relies on external parties, which isn’t necessary for organic growth.
