Abstract: This essay tries to highlight the economic importance of the high-growth SMEs phenomenon. In doing so, an attempt to define and specify this type of firms was conducted. From the authors' literature review it was found that there is no single definition of high-growth. Each researcher adopts a definition according to his research interests. Trying to discuss the economic importance of SMEs gazelles, analysis led to identify three main features of high-growth: high-growth persistence, the novelty and strategic voluntarism. These characteristics make the high-growth SMEs a specific research object.
