Abstract
Zusammenfassung
Obwohl Gazellenunternehmen im Fokus wissenschaftlicher Untersuchungen und wirtschaftspolitischer Überlegungen stehen, gibt es bis heute keine allgemein akzeptierte Definition des Begriffs. Die in der (empirischen) Literatur eingesetzten Gazellendefinitionen weisen eine hohe Heterogenität auf und führen zu divergierenden, lediglich eingeschränkt vergleichbaren Ergebnissen. Basierend auf einer systematischen Literaturanalyse wurde in der vorliegenden Arbeit ein morphologischer Kasten erarbeitet, der die Dimensionen und Ausprägungen der in der Literatur verwendeten Gazellendefinitionen veranschaulicht, systematisiert und die Problematik einer undifferenzierten Begriffsverwendung verdeutlicht. Die sich daraus ergebenden Implikationen für Wissenschaft und Politik werden diskutiert.
Abstract
Although gazelles are one of the foci of business research and policymaking, so far there exists no generally accepted definition of the term. As a result, different definitions are used in empirical research and results are divergent. Based on a literature review, a morphological box is created to reveal and systematize the dimensions and characteristics of gazelle definitions and to illustrate the straits of an undifferentiated use of the term. Implications for research and policymakers are discussed.
