Sustainable business growth in SMEs: How may decision-making guide the transition journey?
| Résumé |
The research aims at (1) exploring new theory at the interface of
business growth and sustainable development while (2) providing
managerial implications for growing firms. For this end, we propose
typologies of decisions to be considered by growing firms; by means
of a longitudinal case study of a Swiss family-owned SME wood
construction company (that is in a process of intense growth), we
identify, visually represent and analyze the sequences of selected
managerial decisions. The empirical analysis and theory development
pave novel ways for research and companies towards sustainable
business growth. |
