MG 8723 - Managing Growing Enterprises

Institution:

Polytechnic Institute of New York University

Subject:

Description:

This course deals with a critical challenge all successful entrepreneurial small or mediumsize firms potentially confront: how to sustain and accelerate major growth. At some point in the life of all growing enterprises, a firm usually must change. It can no longer be run in a small-scale and possibly ad hoc and overly responsive fashion. To successfully exploit past success in the marketplace and future attractiveness of innovative products and services such a firm needs to adapt. This course examines the ways a growing firm can transform itself from a smaller to a larger enterprise. In particular, the course focuses on how such companies can maintain the benefits of an entrepreneurial commitment and spirit while still obtaining needed skills associated with professionally managed larger firms. In this way, fast-growing firms can take advantage of innovation-based opportunities while scaling up.
