Explanation of Solution

Internal expansion is a process of normal increase in business in all aspects, as a result of increased demand for the products and services without acquiring any existing firms. Establishment of new product research to elaborate the total market, acquisition of major share in the market through promotional and advertising activities and expanding the business into new geographical areas also represents internal expansion.

External expansion represents the acquisition of one or more existing firms and managing all businesses together under common control. These combined operations may be integrated, or each firm may be left to operate intact.
