Business Growth Businesses can grow in one of two ways: reinvesting profits or a merger – a combination of 2 or more businesses to create a single business.
Reinvestment Investing in factories, machines and new technologies to promote growth. Process of examining your net income (subtracting expenses from revenues) and coming to the cash flow, or the measure of profits for the business, to establish money that can be reinvested.
Why Merge Growth at a quicker rate Development of better efficiency To help with the production of a better product A process to eliminate a rival For just a change of an image
Mergers and other Business Organizations I would like for you to create a collage of pictures which will represent all the types of mergers and other business organizations.

Direct Role of the Government Some government agencies produce and distribute goods and services just like any other corporation. Examples would be US Postal Service, Police, Fire Protection, etc. All ways provide a direct aspect of the productive process
Indirect Role of the Government Acting as an umpire/regulating force for all businesses and consumers. Also when government provides help/money to those in need in particular situations; student loans, Social Security, etc.
