Отрывок из книги
Growing Pains deals with the problems of building sustainably successful organizations® over the long term. The first edition of this book – published in 1986 and titled, How to Make the Transition from Entrepreneurship to a Professionally Managed Firm– was written after Eric Flamholtz became aware of the paucity of theory, research, and tools for the management of entrepreneurial organizations.
Prior to the first edition of this book, most if not virtually all of business education ignored entrepreneurship and focused instead on “business administration.” This meant focusing on large established companies such as Bank of America, Boeing, Exxon, IBM, McDonald's, Procter & Gamble, and similar institutional “blue chip” companies that had already been in existence for many decades. There was very little literature or cases about starting entrepreneurial firms, or about what we like to think of as “organizational scale-up,” the process of transitioning from a successful start-up to a much larger size and different stage of growth.
.....
Throughout the book, several new cases, examples, or “mini-cases” of companies dealing successfully or unsuccessfully with growth management issues have been added. New mini-cases and international examples of entrepreneurship have been added because of the widespread flourishing of entrepreneurship around the globe, including examples from Europe, Australia, and Asia. A number of companies (including Starbucks) are used throughout the book to provide a consistent frame of reference for the perspective being developed. To a considerable extent, we have drawn on examples of companies where we have in-depth knowledge. In some cases, to protect the privacy of individuals and organizations, we have disguised the company's and individuals' names.
Our experience over the past 40 years in working with and coaching leaders of many companies throughout the world has shown that there is one key thing (not typically mentioned when discussing the requirement of leadership success) in addition to all of the standard things that leaders are supposed to be able to do. Specifically, this is to be able to think conceptually about their business. The ability of a leader or leadership group to step back from day-to-day operations and the concrete things that business involves is a critical ability that contributes to sustainable success of organizations.
