- PublicationMétadonnées seulementHow to model the impact of operations management decisions on business sustainability during a growth(2016-6-19)
; ; The research aims at exploring how decisions made by managers of growing firms influence the growth trajectory of their firms and guide them towards sustainable business growth. Based on empirical data of a Swiss family-owned wood construction company, a multi-method model is developed to simulate a growth phase and decision-making process. The expected results suggest that the speed at which decisions are made as well as the diversity of decisions considered influence positively the sustainable growth trajectory. The use of simulation-modelling sheds new light on the study of the dynamic concept of growth in operations management and guide business practice. - PublicationMétadonnées seulementWhat is the impact of operations management on sustainable business growth?(2015-6-30)
; ; The research aims at exploring how decisions made by managers of growing firms influence the growth trajectory of their firms and guide them towards sustainable business growth. For this end, during five consecutive years, we analyze all decisions made by a high-growth firm by means of a longitudinal case study of a Swiss family-owned wood construction company. We observe that firms can take advantage of their growth periods to improve their efficiency and responsibility towards stakeholders. The empirical analysis and theory development pave novel ways for research and business practice towards sustainable business growth. - PublicationMétadonnées seulementSustainable business growth in SMEs: How may decision-Âmaking guide the transition journey?(2014-6-23)
; ; ; 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.
