Group 3: M&A Directions in a Stagnant Market - Goheal identifies four key M&A directions for companies facing industry ceilings: 1. Acquiring high-tech capabilities to enhance digital transformation and improve valuation [11]. 2. Expanding into overseas markets by acquiring established foreign agents with existing sales channels [12]. 3. Approaching consumer brands to increase pricing power and direct-to-consumer channels [13]. 4. Integrating the supply chain through vertical and horizontal acquisitions to mitigate cyclical fluctuations [14].

Group 6: The Need for Proactive Growth Strategies - Companies must actively seek growth opportunities rather than waiting for favorable market conditions, as true market leaders are those who dare to restructure and invest during slow growth periods [18].
