  • Diversity of Slovenian high-growth companies
    Širec, Karin ; Crnogaj, Katja, 1983-
    Firm growth is critical to economic development and the creation of wealth and employment. Exploring issues and challenges facing high-growth companies may offer valuable insights into promoting ... dynamic entrepreneurship in contemporary society. This paper investigates Slovenian high-growth companies (data from the Slovenian 500 fastest growing gazelles competition 2007 to 2009). Fundamental research questions are: Why do some firms continue to create new employment and find innovative solutions to old problems (i.e., they grow) whereas others-the majority, remain small and behave in accordance with the traditions of their respective industry? Where do explanations for such divergence lie, in companies' size or industry-in entrepreneurs' or managers' gender, or in technology orientation (high-tech versus low-tech)? This study aims to add to the literature on high-growth companies by examining high-growth companies to help people better understand the attributes associated with companies' growth. The findings provide evidence of considerable heterogeneity among Slovenian fast-growing companies, making any kind of policy which linked to "common characteristics" hard to formulate and implement. The discussion focuses on the importance of policies using a character framework to foster the working of markets, while removing unnecessary obstacles.
