20090801-Financing-business-strategy-corporate-governance-and-growth-of-medium-sized-business

This Briefing compares the role of corporate governance for the strategic dynamics of M-firms in the UK and Germany. Drawing on matched pair case studies in the biotech, software and precision engineering sectors, our study documents the significant differences in the orientation of UK founders toward project-based ventures and German founders toward the life-long organic growth of the firm. These differences are explored in relation to corporate governance institutions, such as the availability of external finance and the role of boards, which support (or potentially undermine) these different types of growth strategies..
