The review of the literature on small firm growth brings to the conclusion there exists very little empirical research that adopts an integrated approach to find out the relationship between internal firm factors and enterprise growth. The study identifies three sets of factors (owner/manager characteristics, enterprise characteristics and strategic orientation factors) as key pillars on which further research should be based. The paper provides a special framework for further analysis of determinants of the small firm growth in any country.
Przegląd literatury przedmiotu wskazuje, że istnieje bardzo niewiele empirycznych danych pozwalających na wypracowanie zintegrowanego podejścia do problemu zależności między wewnętrznymi czynnikami występującymi w małym przedsiębiorstwie, a rozwojem tego przedsiębiorstwa. Prezentowane badania pozwoliły zidentyfikować trzy takie grupy kluczowych czynników - charakterystyka właściciela lub menedżera, charakterystyka przedsiębiorstwa i strategia przedsiębiorstwa. W artykule zaproponowano metodę badania czynników rozwoju małych przedsiębiorstw, która może być wykorzystana w różnych krajach świata.
