HOW DO HIGH-GROWTH FIRMS GROW? EVIDENCE FROM CAMBRIDGE, UK

HOW DO HIGH-GROWTH FIRMS GROW? EVIDENCE FROM CAMBRIDGE, UK This study quantifies the incidence and influence of rapid growth among firms in a high technology milieu. We draw on evidence from a longitudinal database of technology firms in Cambridge UK. Resource configurations and the entrepreneurial matching of resources to opportunities are addressed, using Penrosian growth theory. We examine how certain knowledge-resources of start-ups are related to firms’ subsequent growth. We examine various firm growth modes to track how they are associated with firm and regional growth.

Abstract

This study quantifies the incidence and influence of rapid growth among firms in a high technology milieu. We draw on evidence from a longitudinal database of technology firms in Cambridge UK. Resource configurations and the entrepreneurial matching of resources to opportunities are addressed, using Penrosian growth theory. We examine how certain knowledge-resources of start-ups are related to firms’ subsequent growth. We examine various firm growth modes to track how they are associated with firm and regional growth. JEL Classification: O14, O47, D21, L11 Keywords: high-growth firm, technology, regional growth
