Small business growth through geographic expansion: a comparative case study

Article Abstract:

Small business firms attempt to attain growth often through geographic expansion. This strategy, which is effected by extending a company's business operations to one or more geographic sites, pose managerial challenges and usually requires more effort than expected. Areas for growth planning, expansion site characteristics, and reasons for growth are variables that need to be considered along with geographical expansion. A firm should also take into account growth management, expansion performance, and moderator variables.
