TLDR
The authors of as discussed by the authors suggest that there is a greater need to understand the processes that underlie entrepreneurial growth and how the entrepreneur's cognitive processes shape growth, how they access and configure resources to achieve growth, and whether these are influenced by a wider variety of contextual dimensions than previously recognised.Abstract:
The entrepreneurial growth literature is extensive, but research focusing on questions such as how firms grow, why they grow according to different patterns, how the decisions about growing or not growing are made, and the contextual dimensions within which growth takes place, has been neglected. This annual review article explores such issues: it suggests that there is a greater need to understand the processes that underlie entrepreneurial growth. In particular, we need to know more about how the entrepreneur’s cognitive processes shape growth (i.e. microfoundations of growth), how they access and configure resources to achieve growth (i.e. the resource orchestration underpinning growth), whether these are influenced by a wider variety of contextual dimensions than previously recognised, and how these influence different patterns and types of growth.read more
