High-growth firms: A new policy paradigm or a need for caution?

James Derbyshire

Local Economy, 2012, vol. 27, issue 4, 326-328

Abstract: UK enterprise policy is going through a period of relative hiatus and reflection, offering an opportune time to consider its possible future direction. One shift in the policy focus could be from an emphasis on start-up to the support of firms with high-growth potential. This short paper suggests some reasons for caution when considering such a refocusing of policy.
