Dare to Grow in Flanders: a book for advanced learners
In this book, various authors map out how Flemish companies grow.
Growth is however a complex issue. Companies can grow in employees, in turnover, in profit or in a combination of the above. The first part of this book discusses these different growth facets. Furthermore, there are different groups of companies that are expected to grow more than others due to their support. Companies that are started as a spin-off from a university are expected to have more resources and therefore also to grow more.
In the second part of the book, the questions about determinants of growth are studied in depth. Finally, the extent to which lessons can be learned for Flemish policy is examined. The book offers a variety of scientifically based analysis, useful tips and policy-relevant remarks.
