Abstract

Higher, faster, further? An Empirical Analysis of the Strategic Management of Fast-Growing Start-Ups

Recent studies show that a small share of young, fast-growing firm – so-called gazelles – account for a disproportionately large supply of new jobs and, therefore, contribute significantly to the economic development of many countries. However, the majority of these studies mainly focus on a quantitative assessment of these special types of enterprises as well as developing suitable business policy support measures to foster them. In-depth examinations have been largely missing so far. We address this gap by conducting an explorative, case-based research approach to determine how gazelles strategically manage important resources to facilitate superior firm growth.
