Abstract

The paper is concerned with the theories of life cycles of organizations and the empirical verification of their correctness with respect to Russian fast-growing companies (FGC). The subject of the study is the life cycles of an organization and the evolution of fast-growing companies. The purpose of the work was to obtain an empirical approximation of the theoretical curve of a company life cycle and test the life cycle theories to determine their relevance for describing the growth of Russian fast-growing companies. The analysis of the evolution of the company life cycle theories was carried out. Subject to analysis were application, potential strengths and weaknesses of this group of company growth theories revealed lately. In particular, the need for a quantitative interpretation of the main provisions of the company life cycle theory is emphasized. To solve this problem, an empirical curve of the company life cycle was calculated using the example of Russian fast-growing companies. It is concluded that the most widespread version of the company life-cycle theories (according to I. Adizes) may be applied to the analysis of the growth of Russian fast-growing companies, however, fast-growing companies are quite specific in the periods before and after the accelerated growth. Статья посвящена рассмотрению теорий жизненных циклов организаций и эмпирической проверке их обоснованности применительно к российским быстрорастущим компаниям (БРК). Предмет исследования: жизненные циклы организации, эволюция быстрорастущих компаний. Цель работы: получить эмпирическую аппроксимацию теоретической кривой жизненного цикла фирмы, протестировать теории жизненных циклов на предмет определения их релевантности для описания роста российских быстрорастущих компаний. Проведен анализ эволюции теорий жизненных циклов организации, проанализированы области применения, потенциальные преимущества и выявленные в последнее время слабости данной группы теорий роста фирмы. В частности, подчеркнута необходимость количественной интерпретации основных положений теории жизненного цикла фирмы. Для решения этой задачи рассчитана эмпирическая кривая жизненного цикла фирмы на примере российских быстрорастущих компаний. Сделан вывод об общей применимости наиболее распространенной версии теорий жизненного цикла фирмы (по И. Адизесу) к анализу роста российских быстрорастущих компаний и одновременно о значительной специфике роста быстрорастущих компаний в периоды до и после ускоренного роста.
