Education facts

Code: GEU2KV

The course begins with a look at the basic concepts and models for growth. This includes sorting out different measures of what growth is and what different growth patterns might look like. In addition to this, there is discussion about various kinds of growth, e.g. organic growth and growth through acquisition, as well as a review of both the most common obstacles for growth and the measures used to promote growth. These obstacles and opportunities are also discussed with respect to the environment of entrepreneurial companies and the way these companies can contribute to regional development. In the second part of the course, students compare the growth of two or more successful companies and analyse any differences based on the situation of each company.
