Working paper No. 273: The Strategic Management of High-Growth Firms: A Review and Theoretical Conceptualization

Ladda ner PDF

Sammanfattning

Scholars’ knowledge of the factors behind high-growth firms remains fragmented. This paper provides a systematic review of the empirical literature concerning high-growth firms with a focus on the strategic aspects contributing to growth. Based on our review of 39 articles, we identify five drivers of high growth: human capital, strategy, human resource management, innovation, and capabilities. These drivers are combined to develop a conceptual model of high-growth firms that includes potential contingency factors among the five drivers. We also propose a research agenda to deepen the study of high-growth firms in strategic management.

Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice (ETP)

Sammanfattning

Configurational research has great promise in entrepreneurship. There are few universal laws or relationships that hold under all circumstances. More often, optimal entrepreneurial outcomes are contingent on many factors. Consequently, configurational analysis using qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) has become increasingly popular. However, methodological research in sociology and political science has raised concerns about possible false positive findings produced by this method. In this editorial, we explore the potential and the common pitfalls of QCA in entrepreneurship research, as well as guidelines for its use.

Sammanfattning

Frontline Strategy Work has recently evolved into an important phenomenon in Strategy-as-Practice (SAP) research, particularly concerning frontline employees (FLEs). FLEs are non-managerial staff with distinct roles, identities, and organisational tasks. They are typically divided into two categories: frontline workers, who handle operational, supplier, and customer-facing roles, and frontline leaders, who oversee teams and report to middle management. Despite lacking managerial privileges, FLEs play a critical role in bridging the organisation and its customers, influencing customer satisfaction and organisational outcomes. Frontline Strategy Work is crucial to understanding how strategy emerges in organisations. SAP scholars have expanded the traditional view of strategising beyond upper management. The focus on Frontline Strategy Work has brought FLEs into strategic analysis, enabling scholars to apply various theoretical lenses.
