Features: Let's end the debate over whether diversity or specialization is better. The research and hard facts from the authority on corporate growth strategy, Zuck, have shown me that the only way to break through growth stagnation is to follow the core-ration strategy proposed in the book—return to one's core business, abandon areas unrelated to the core, and use the valuable methods developed by the author over more than a decade to deeply tap into the maximum potential of the core business from multiple levels. In this process, expand organically layer by layer outward based on the core business, and adjust the core business in a timely manner. Although many businesses in the history of commercial development are like fleeting flowers, appearing and disappearing in an instant, there are also some long-lived enterprises that have endured for centuries. Their experiences have invariably proven the best path for corporate growth pointed out by Chris Zuck in "Return to Core" and "Expand from Core": focus on a strong core business, develop its maximum potential from all directions and levels, create a repeatable expansion model based on the core business, expand step by step into adjacent areas, achieve organic growth of the enterprise, and continuously redefine the core business at the right time.
