New venture creation
‘organization creation involves those events before an organization becomes an organization that is, organization creation involves those factors that lead to and influence the process of starting a business’. Carter et al. (1996: 52)
‘... serious gaps in our knowledge remain about the events that occur before an independent organization is started’. Chrisman (1999: 99)

Growth and size
• The original interpretation of Gibrat’s Law is that the size of units and measures of percentage growth are statistically independent (Gibrat 1931). In the context of the study of firm growth this means that growth rates should be independent of firm size (Sutton 1997).
• Some studies have indicated that – growth rates are independent of size, – other studies have indicated that Gibrat’s law is
applicable only to large organizations (but not to small organizations),
– and some studies find that growth rates diminish with increasing size (Dunne and Hughes, 1996; Evans, 1987; Storey, 1995; Sutton, 1997; Wagner, 1992)

Factors related to growth
• Human capital, educated individuals • Specific human capital, such as – start-up experience, –management experience, and – experience of working in rapidly
growing organizations– a founding team rather than solo
entrepreneur–willingness to share equity– a multi-skilled management team, –marketing expertise • But general work experience and
age has no effect

Growth motivation
• Prior research has shown that many small business managers are reluctant to expand their firms (Davidsson, 1989b; Wiklund et al., 1997).
– Personal independence– Expectations of changed work
conditions– Aspiration levels for
organizational size are founded on managerial beliefs that size affects organizational efficiency or legitimacy.

Stages of Growth models Dynamic states model
Assumption Organizations grow as if they were organisms Each state represents management’s attempts to most efficiently/effectively match internal organizing capacity with the external market/customer demand
Propositions: what
Configuration of structural variables and management problems
Configuration of structural variables and organizational activities (aspirations)
Propositions: how
A specific number of progressive stagesSequence and order is predictable Incremental and punctuated transitions
Any number of statesSequence and order may be predictable depending on contextIncremental and punctuated transitions, and emergence
Propositions: why
Immanent program of developmentPrefigured rules of development “Regulated” by environment
Adaptive process of retaining the sustainability of a business modelInterdependent rules for development Driven by market change and opportunity creation
www.handels.gu.se
Growth challenge: Managerial transitionsThe founding entrepreneurs become less adept at managing the firm’s evolution Beyond their initial focus – Lower degree of
diversificationAcross an expanding operation – Slower degree of
professionalizationMay not be able to modify their personal management style to match the evolving firm’s needs–Weaker degree of termination– Give up ownership
