DESCRIPTION:Prof. Marco Grazzi\, University of Bologna\n"Persistence of gr
 owth revisited: An Exploratory Analysis on US Large Corporations"\nGoing b
 ack to Penrose (1959)\, scholars have been interested in the sources of fi
 rm growth. Indeed\, this is a topic that is not only of deep scholarly int
 erest\, but also pervades the minds of practitioners. Yet\, despite numero
 us quantitative studies (for a review\, see Coad Holzl 2012) we still know
  relatively little about the underlying organizational drivers of firm gro
 wth.  Across several studies\, a number of empirical regularities appear.
  For instance\, we know that growth is highly skewed (very few firms grow 
 rapidly for prolonged periods) and that periods of rapid growth appear to 
 be eventually transient. However\, the underlying forces and organizationa
 l variables (e.g. R&D spending\, structure\, etc.)  that explain these pa
 tterns have yet to be convincingly isolated empirically.  Posed simply\, 
 we know the general patterns of growth across firms and industries with a 
 high degree of confidence\, but we simply do not know much about what expl
 ains those patterns.\n\nThis is the gap we are attempting to rectify in ou
 r study. Our theoretical approach is to frame the firm's growth problem as
  one of capability accumulation.  We are exploring the extent to which fi
 rm growth and capability accumulation are linked.\n\n
