Abstract

This paper presents the general features of the firms facing rapid growth in the Romanian context. We have focused on turnover growth. The results show that firms that have achieved rapid growth prove both, a managerial and an entrepreneurial competence, enabling support for the rapid growth, compared to other firms that have failed this. The analysis of 153 firms oriented towards rapid growth, highlights some interesting aspects about the age the size and the field of activity of the fast growing firms from Romania. The relevance of this paper is the identification of the general features of the fast growing firms from Romania and the main fields in which these firms activate. It also represents a starting point for studying the managerial aspects that enable firms to overcome the rapid growth barriers in the Romanian context.
