It's not wise to limit firms' expansion projects. Let us only be limited by the market.

You need to make certain decisions to expand your market.
Well, we are expanding in all of our segments of the market.
We want to make as big a market as we can with our current product.
If companies don't think systemically enough - if they try to capture too much of the value - eventually, innovation moves somewhere else.
I'm probably a believer in abandoning too-big-to-fail firms or breaking them up in some way so that the system can try to take care of itself. I imagine you're not going to get there, and therefore, I suspect regulation is what's going to be required.
Continuing economic growth requires both recruitment of new companies and expansion of existing businesses.
The biggest barrier to starting a company isn't ideas, funding or experience. It's excuses.
The more worrying feature of the new global corporate structures is their capacity to devastate national labour markets by transferring their operations to cheaper locations overseas.
When investors, particularly investment bankers, talk about splitting up companies, there's a lot of discussion about multiple expansion, and the reality is multiple expansion is an outcome, not a strategy.
I don't think I'd enjoy running a public company. We haven't needed to go to the market to fund expansion.
