Those fortunate enough to succeed then face a second, major challenge: how to grow. This book focuses on the key questions an entrepreneur must answer in order to grow a business. Based on extensive research of more than fifty successful growth companies, Grow to Greatness discusses the top ten growth challenges and how to overcome them. Author Edward D. Hess dispels the myth that businesses must grow or die. Growth can create value. But, too much growth too fast outstrips effective processes, controls, or management capacity. 000448482 588__ $$aDescription based on print verision record. 000448482 650_0 $$aSmall business$$xGrowth. 000448482 650_0 $$aSmall business$$xManagement. 000448482 650_0 $$aIndustrial management. 000448482 650_0 $$aEntrepreneurship. 000448482 655_7 $$aElectronic books.$$2lcsh 000448482 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aHess, Edward D.$$tGrow to greatness.$$dStanford, California : Stanford Business Books, an imprint of Stanford University Press, [2012]$$z9780804775342$$w(DLC) 2011051604$$w(OCoLC)764361067 000448482 8520_ $$bacq 000448482 85280 $$bebk$$hEbrary 000448482 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=871527$$zOnline Access 000448482 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:448482$$pGLOBAL_SET 000448482 980__ $$aEBOOK 000448482 980__ $$aBIB 000448482 982__ $$aEbook 000448482 983__ $$aOnline
