A Multidimensional Model of Venture Growth
Abstract
We draw upon strategic management theory, organizational behavior theory, organization theory, and entrepreneurship models to form an integrated model of venture growth including 17 concepts from 5 micro/macro research domains. The model was tested with responses from 307 companies from the architectural woodworking industry. CEO’s specific competencies and motivation, and competitive strategies, were direct predictors of venture growth. CEO’s traits and general competencies, and the environment had significant indirect effects. 3 This research explores the causes of venture growth. Past entrepreneurship research has often studied individual differences (Begley & Boyd, 1987), strategic management concepts (McDougall, Robinson, & DeNisi, 1992), and organization theory concepts (Aldrich & Wiedenmayer, 1993) as isolated causes of venture performance. More recent studies propose that individual, organizational, and environmental dimensions combine to provide a more comprehensive prediction of venture development and growth than any one dimension in

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
