Description
Health care organizations repeatedly use growth as a key strategy. In fact, Walston (2018) noted that growth “is an attractive prospect because it promises greater economies of scale, augmented reputation, swift entry into markets, achievement of synergies, increased market power, and higher salaries for top management.”
