Welcome to Consulting Knowledge: Our weekly series where we Deep dive into industries, business models, and core concepts you need to understand to ace your interviews and thrive as a consultant.

==============================================  When entering a new market — especially something capital-intensive like EVs — companies face a critical strategic decision:

Build internally.
Acquire.
Or partner.

In this episode, we break down:

• When internal build makes sense
• Acquisition logic and integration risk
• Strategic partnerships and capital sharing
• Control vs speed trade-offs
• How this logic appears in consulting cases

This framework extends far beyond EVs — it applies to tech, pharma, manufacturing, and more.

Part of the Consulting Knowledge pillar — strengthening real-world strategic thinking.
