{"product_id":"9781781252420","title":"Growing a Business : Strategies for leaders and entrepreneurs by Rupert Merson","description":"Business growth is a clear goal for ambitious entrepreneurs and leaders. It's often a short hand for business - and wider economic - success. But it's not without its pitfalls and challenges, and planning for, and managing, a growing business needs careful thought. Take, for example, the start-up facing for the first time the need to balance flexibility with more structure. Or a larger business tackling a range of divisions evolving at different speeds. Or an inspirational owner-founder confronting  the need to step back and let others take the business forward. These are the kinds of challenges that Growing a Business tackles head-on.  Drawing on a wide range of models and research, and using case studies from across the business world, it offers practical advice and guidance on a whole range of topics, including:- the different types and  stages of growth;- predicting the problems presented by growth;- identifying growth triggers - and barriers;- the implications of growth: financially, culturally and for the people involved in the business.   Growing a Business is required reading for owners and managers looking to understand and foster growth in their businesses.   An Economist Book, published in association with the Economist.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56303402221941,"sku":"9781781252420","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781781252420.jpg?v=1762794358","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781781252420","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
