Business Growth |
| Few businesses enjoy meteoric & untroubled rise from one man
band to professionally managed multi-million pound enterprise. |
The pitfalls along the way are many-
and some are fatal. Many SME’s go under with the sales
curve rising, so growth alone is no salvation.
However most of the problems that lie ahead of the growth oriented
business are predictable and, if not preventable, remedies are generally
available.
Research at Cranfield School of Management identifies the most common
barriers to business growth for small and medium sized companies
(SME’s) to be:-
|
| |
- The Planning Vacuum.
- Muddled Marketing.
- Mis-Managed Change.
- Meddling and Misspent Time.
- Following the Wrong Objectives.
- No Financial Strategy.
|
“88% of the fastest growing & most
profitable SME’s
are primarily sticking to
a strategy of selling more of their core
products into their core markets”
