Managing a business in an environment of change is a challenge faced by all companies. In our society it is almost impossible to be isolated from change in one form or another. Businesses are challenged with the constant process of adaptation to changing conditions, and the striving for growth. Some executives have managed their companies well in these uncertain times, resulting in rapid growth for sustained periods of time. Rapid growth manufacturing firms are the focus of this investigation into the management techniques which these firms consider to be essential for their success. In this research, the term "high growth" is used to refer to companies which have grown at a rate of over 25% per year for at least a 5 year period. Six high growth companies were identified and investigated in order to identify management techniques which the companies felt were important factors in allowing them to grow and prosper in an environment of change. The results of this investigation were also examined to determine whether the identified characteristics or techniques existed in the majority of the six high growth firms involved in this study. The identified characteristics or techniques were grouped into subject areas. These areas were business planning, teamwork, human resources, productivity, facilities planning, product development, quality, market research, and company culture. The practices of the high growth companies in each of these areas are discussed and compared with examples of management theory published within the last five years. In this research, the subject of "attitude toward failure" was identified as a key characteristic common to all of the investigated high growth companies. The investigation of current management theory did not reveal a great deal of material on this subject.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Walter Schroeder Library Master's Theses AC805 .U54 1992 Available Add Copy to MyList Format: HTMLPlain textDelimited Subject:   Email to:
