SCALE-UPS AND HIGH-GROWTH FIRMS - ALEX COAD AND...

This open access book goes into the details of the characteristics of scale-ups  touching upon
various theoretical perspectives (stages of growth models  the role of intangible capital  the
tradeoffs between fixed costs and marginal costs) relating to firm growth  to provide a clear
definition of this emerging concept. Given the disproportionately large economic contribution
of a small number of fast-growing firms  there has been growing interest in a category of
dynamic ventures called scale-ups. The term was popularized by Silicon Valley Venture
Capitalists before receiving attention from academics and public policy makers. However  there
remains considerable confusion regarding what a scale-up actually is. This is an open access
book.
