Marketing - Business/Commerce (general)
German term or phrase: Mitnahmebranchen
"Die Branchenausrichtung lässt sich in drei Felder gliedern:
Kernbranchen
Zielbranchen
*Mitnahmebranchen*" - I know exactly what they mean, i.e. sectors they can develop without any serious acquisition, but what do I call this in English? "Windfall sectors"? Snappy ideas from any genius out there would be greatly appreciated!
