Support for Rapid‐Growth Firms: A Comparison of the Views of Founders, Government Policymakers, and Private Sector Resource Providers
对比了企业主、政府政策顾问和外部资源提供者对如何支持快速增长企业的看法，发现各组都认为自身角色关键，且快速增长企业更倾向于从同行获取建议。
The paper contrasts the perspectives of firm owners, government policy advisers, and external resource providers on how rapid‐growth firms should be supported. Qualitative data were analyzed to identify similarities and differences in groups’ perspectives. The research indicates that each group sees its roles as critical. Policymakers and external resources providers have incentives to interact with rapid‐growth firms. Rapid‐growth firms have incentives to obtain advice from government sources and external resource providers but prefer to obtain advice from their peers. These findings suggest a network‐based approach to the support of rapid growth that is consistent with a new Ontario‐based program, the Innovators Alliance.
