摘要

目的有关高增长企业的研究正在蓬勃发展,但对这些企业如何获得(和维持)快速增长的概念性理解仍然(充其量)很片面。本文的主要目的是探讨创始人在促成企业快速成长的过程中所扮演的角色,以及他们如何帮助驾驭这一过程。本文报告了一项定性研究的结果,该研究对威尔士一个由政府资助的高成长企业加速器项目的入选企业家进行了深入访谈。这些访谈探讨了企业快速增长的原因、关键增长触发点以及快速增长的组织后果。研究结果研究表明,高增长期与企业创始人的创业特质和能力,以及他们 "感知 "和 "抓住 "关键增长机遇的能力有着内在的、密不可分的联系。它还表明,创始人层面的动态能力使企业能够利用关键的 "触发点",从而在企业的时间演化过程中进入新的 "动态状态"。 原创性/价值本文在理论构建方面采用的新方法是利用理论阐述来扩展现有的重要理论构架,如增长 "触发点 "和创始人动态能力。为了利用这些触发点,创始人必须经历一个 "时间过渡 "过程,以有效管理和执行企业的成长过程。这项研究还具有重要的政策含义,强调了为创业创始人提供更多关系形式支持的必要性。

Trigger points and high growth firms: the vital role of founder “sensing” and “seizing” capabilities

Purpose

Research on high growth firms is booming yet a strong conceptual understanding of how these firms obtain (and sustain) rapid growth remains (at best) partial. The main purpose of this paper is to explore the role founders play in enabling episodes of rapid growth and how they help navigate this process.

Design/methodology/approach

This paper reports the findings from a qualitative study involving in-depth interviews with entrepreneurs enlisted onto a publicly funded high growth business accelerator programme in Wales. These interviews explored the causes of the firms rapid growth, their key growth trigger points and the organisational consequences of rapid growth.

Findings

The research reveals that periods of high growth are intrinsically and inextricably inter-linked with the entrepreneurial traits and capabilities of their founders coupled with their ability to “sense” and “seize” pivotal growth opportunities. It also demonstrates founder-level dynamic capabilities enable firms to capitalise on pivotal “trigger points” thereby enabling their progression to a new “dynamic state” in a firm’s temporal evolution.

Originality/value

The novel approach towards theory building deployed herein is the use of theoretical elaboration as means of extending important existing theoretical constructs such as growth “trigger points” and founder dynamic capabilities. To capitalise on these trigger points, founders have to undergo a process of “temporal transitioning” to effectively manage and execute the growth process in firms. The work also has important policy implications, underlining the need for more relational forms of support for entrepreneurial founders.
