The Theory and Practice of Strategic Management in Smaller Rapid Growth Firms

Jeffrey C. Shuman and John A. Seeger

Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice, 1986, vol. 11, issue 1, 7-18

Abstract: This article contrasts the theory of strategic planning with actual practice in smaller rapid growth companies. The literature on strategic planning in general and smaller organizations in particular is synthesized into a normative planning structure and framework. The resulting model is then contrasted with actual planning practice within the 500 fastest growing privately held companies (ranked according to percentage of sales increases) in the United States.
