Imagine that you own a small coffee shop and you are considering expanding your business through one or more options. One option is to merge with the gift shop next door. Another option is to purchase the bakery from which you buy pastries to sell to your customers along with their coffee and tea. Yet another option is to open another coffee shop in a different neighborhood.

What type of corporate-level decision is this?

a) Scope of business
b) Organizational design
c) Ownership
