Myth-busting and entrepreneurship policy: the case of high growth firms (2017, background): “2007), others find that different definitions and measures identify different groups of firms (Daunfeldt et al. 2014), which potentially has significant implications for policy development.”
The strategic management of high-growth firms:a review and theoretical conceptualization (2017, unknown): “One way to strike a balance between these approaches is to use a combination of relative and absolute growth rates or to use measures for defining minimum size criteria for inclusion in a study (Daunfeldt and Halvarsson, 2014; Daunfeldt et al., 2014).”
Location determinants of high-growth firms (2015, methodology): “Indeed, various definitions have been used in the literature to define high-growth firms (e.g. Daunfeldt, elert, and Johansson 2010). the advantage of using revenue as the growth metric is that it measures both expansion in the scale of operation and improvement in efficiency.”
Measuring Entrepreneurial Ecosystems (2016, background): “The academic literature also proposes other measures (see: Stam 2007; Bos and Stam 2013; Parker et al. 2010; Daunfeldt et al. 2014), but these are not readily available for regions within the Netherlands in recent years.”
Are high-growth firms one-hit wonders? Evidence from Sweden (2015, methodology): “the two most commonly used indicators (Delmar et al. 2003; Daunfeldt et al. 2014).”
