Comprising research by world-class scholars, this Research Agenda highlights developments in the ever-growing study of scale-ups, underscoring the significance of these firms in shaping economic landscapes. By integrating diverse approaches, including strategic foundations, international scaling, and innovative methods, this book builds a strong foundation for nuanced and actionable further research. As scale-ups continue to play an increasingly pivotal role in innovation and market transformation, this book will inspire further inquiry and collaboration to unlock these firms' full potential.

A Research Agenda for Startups, Scale-Up, Scale-Down, and Re-Scaling Strategies is a roadmap for those who seek to foster ecosystems where scale-ups can thrive. It is an essential tool for students, researchers, and academics of entrepreneurship and management, as well as policymakers and managers, who will find the insights and discussion presented here of great benefit.
