The Role of Serendipity in Fast Growth Entrepreneurial Firms
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Growth is an important consideration in any business and more so for entrepreneurial firms. Many fast growth firms are considered entrepreneurial and pursue growth using innovative strategies (Das & He, 2006; Larson, 1992). However, there is anecdotal evidence that some firms achieve growth because of favourable circumstances such as being in the right industry at the right time. The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of serendipity, on the growth of fast growing entrepreneurial firms. Exploring this factor will potentially shed some understanding on how firms exploit new opportunities that lead to intended or unintended growth.
