It's funny to see how people on this site so vastly overvalue organic growth and undervalue inorganic growth. (It makes sense given the target audience, obviously.) You can absolutely grow a company by all metrics (revenue, income, market share, market cap) just by having a bunch of MBAs that make well-negotiated acquisitions. It's basically all IBM and Oracle do these days: buy up smaller B2B software, integrate it into their portfolio as a new product or a feature for an existing one, then sell the hell out of it to their existing customer base.
