ITPEC FE Morning April 2020 — Question 67 of 80

Ansoff Growth Matrix — identify the strategy for new products in new markets.

The Ansoff Matrix maps growth strategies along two dimensions: products (existing vs. new) and markets (existing vs. new).

Existing ProductsNew Products
Existing MarketsMarket PenetrationProduct Development
New MarketsMarket DevelopmentDiversification

New products + new markets = Diversification.

Why not others:
- (b) Market development — takes existing products into new markets

- (c) Market penetration — sells existing products in existing markets (increase market share)

- (d) Product development — creates new products for existing markets

Key rule: Diversification is the only Ansoff strategy where both the product and the market are new.
