Davidsson (Australian Centre for Entrepreneurship Research) and Wiklund (entrepreneurship, Syracuse University) bring together contributors from Sweden, the UK, and Australia to explore the
relationships between factors that enhance firm growth. The book begins with an integrative model of small business growth, useful for understanding why and how firms grow. Part 2 provides
critical reviews of prior research on firm growth indicators and also outlines a research agenda to address gaps identified in the research. Part 3 explores which comes first, growth or
profitability, and concludes that firms must first develop high profitability in order to sustain growth. Part 4 surveys theory-driven research on forms of growth. Annotation ©2013 Book News,
