Beschreibung
This edited volume focuses on the interplay between organizational identities and firm growth, an area which remains largely unexplored. Firm growth in its various forms is omnipresent in the contemporary business environment, but does not always lead to positive results. At the same time, some organizations are growing faster than their peers, leading to questions of organizational growth antecedents. In addition to the dominant economic reasons in strategic literature, the volume seeks to integrate psychological aspects to the discourse, thereby considering the micro, meso and macro level. By providing both insights into international academic thinking and into practical examples of small and medium-sized companies in Berlin, the authors identify new findings concerning successful growth strategies.

Stimmen zu »Organizational Identity and Firm Growth«
“We know that organizational identity is what makes an organization special and unique. We also know that organizations follow various patterns of growth. But how do these two observations connect? This book gives answers to this complex question and also insights into the dynamic growth of companies in Berlin.” (Christian Scholz, Saarland University)
“What happens when two of the most important concepts in management – organizational identity and firm growth – are paired? Dörrenbächer, Tomenendal, and Stanske, along with their coauthors, provide a very enlightening and provocative exploration of this question, raising as many cool insights for organizational scholars as they do practical takeaways for organizational managers.” (Blake Ashforth, Arizona State University)
