Answer:
- Loss of organizational flexibility
- Diversification of business
Explanation:
Remember, External growth strategies unlike the Internal growth strategies involves using external assistance to grow the organization, such as merging or acquiring other companies, franchising or forming joint ventures.
In such a case, organisational flexibility could be lost since the organization becomes more complex as a result of bringing in more people into the organization. Also, another disadvantage is that with a restructured management team, the business may experience unexpected diversification into other products as in the case of joint ventures.
