Empirical research on high-growth entrepreneurship: a literature review and Latam research agenda

What is it about?

This research develops a roadmap on the current state of high-growth entrepreneurship and provides suggestions to guide future research in extending our understanding of this phenomenon. To advance the study of high-growth entrepreneurship and provide a means through which these advancements can contribute to our understanding of how this phenomenon is defined, we organize and review the extant literature based on the foundational definition of entrepreneurship, the typologies used to describe it, and the phases of new venture process. The final sample of this methodology consisted of 54 empirical works that explored this issue from 2010 to 2020. The frameworks developed could be used for both policymakers as entrepreneurs to understand the variables that affect the entrepreneurial life cycle and how they could increase the likelihood of survival of new firms in developed and developing economies.
