This collection of articles by an internationally recognized team
of authors is a welcome addition to the literature on firm growth.
The authors, singly and together, have previously made important
contributions with regard to frameworks for understanding growth,
as well as cutting-edge empirical research on the actual growth
process. In this volume, the authors bring previous research
up-to-date, providing a critical look at what has been published in
the last decade and offering new theoretically informed insights in
how and why firms grow.' - Howard Aldrich, University of North
Carolina, Chapel Hill, USThis insightful volume presents a
collection of innovative works by two of the leading researchers of
firm growth. The studies extend previous research by providing
stronger theoretical underpinnings and using longitudinal databases
that can separate in time the firms' growth from its presumed
causes. They also break new ground by examining different modes of
growth, such as sales growth vs. employment growth, and organic
growth vs. acquisition-based expansion. Further, the studies
investigate the drivers of firm growth and take a critical look at
the effects, such as under what circumstances high growth is
associated with high profitability. The issue of how firm growth is
achieved and managed, and what consequences it has for different
stakeholders is both theoretically interesting and practically
important. The book will strongly appeal to academics of
entrepreneurship, small business management and strategy.
