| Abstract: | The new competitive dynamics in recent years has brought about the stagnation of some legendary companies, such as Kodak or Digital in the United States, Thomson or Credit Lyonnais in Europe, and Nomura or Nissan in Japan. Corporate growth has evolved into a challenge of undisputable and increasing interest among senior managers, in particular, after the bursting of the stockmarket bubble. Nevertheless, the available theories of corporate growth (resources, life-cycle, etc.) tend to focus on only one dimension of the growth process. In this paper, we argue why corporate growth is important, introduce the need for a more holistic view of corporate growth and discuss the drivers that growing firms use to keep growth going. |
