Description
This text examines the mechanisms by which businesses that have the capacity to grow - whether in terms of output, jobs, innovation or exports - acquire the cash to enable that growth to take place. It draws together contemporary research carried out by leading academics in this area. In successive chapters the research studies develop the themes of market failure, finance gaps and failures of demand. They also highlight the linkages between the financing choices facing the growing firm and the issues of organization and of corporate governance that have to be addressed during the process of growth and maturity.
