Abstract
The story of aim.group describes how an entrepreneur, Dieter Aelvoet, has started building a corporation from scratch by acquiring a portfolio of small businesses. The case gives background information on the personality and motivations of Aelvoet, the founder and Managing Director of aim.group and explains how he has been able to build a successful corporation. Specific attention is paid to how Aelvoet uses acquisitions as a major driver of growth. At the same time, the case elaborates how corporate value is created in a small entrepreneurial business firm and what is the role of the corporate parent in the value creation process.
