Summary:

"Navigating the Challenges of Growth explores why seemingly successful companies run into trouble, undergo decline and face collapse. Denise Fleck's two-decade long investigation into the histories of organizations ranges from local firms to global corporations, evaluating not only their growth and success, but also a seldom scrutinized phenomenon: organizational failure. Fleck analyses longitudinal studies across varied industries and ownership regimes, revealing three core requirements for healthy long-term survival: renewal fostering, slack producing and integrity cultivating. Chapters examine the dual role of growth and how it can both constructively and destructively affect the existence of an organization, its members and the relevant environment. The book highlights how responsible leadership is essential to address the entrepreneurial, environmental and organizational trio of growth challenges and to prevent self-destruction. Fleck also demonstrates how fostering a sustainable strategy can result in socially responsible and environmentally conscious behaviors. This book is a crucial read for scholars and students of business, organization, entrepreneurship and strategic, general and critical management studies. It is also highly relevant to business owners, CEOs and entrepreneurs seeking organizational success"-- Provided by publisher.
