中文摘要：	中小企业已经成为世界各国经济增长和促进就业的重要力量，但经济增长和就业的真正 “促进器”是少数快速成长的中小企业。以美国为例，企业的平均增长速度为3.5%，只有不到20%的快速成长企业创造了就业增长的80%。更为重要的是，快速成长企业经常作为市场的表率、企业成功的典范和创业精神的代表，营建了一个国家及地区的创业文化氛围，为政府、投资机构、其他企业家和创业者所关注，我国联想、蒙牛和小肥羊等企业的快速成长，不但有助于区域经济和相关产业的崛起，而且对推广创造人们新生活的新产品和新服务起了巨大贡献。对这样的企业进行研究，将有助于我国企业成长研究的深入。 从已有文献来看，人们对快速成长企业成长机理的理解在很长一段时间里所知有限，对这个领域的关注也时断时续，对其贡献也有很大的分歧。目前，人们对快速成长企业无论在研究方法还是研究内容上都有了更加深入地理解，也提出了新的问题，即快速成长企业是不是与慢速成长企业从本质上存在差异？它还只是仅在合适的时间、合适的市场、合适的资源与合适的企业家共同作用下产生的高绩效分布？所以越来越多的学者致力于研究快速成长企业，并试图归纳和总结快速成长企业的本质规律。 尽管如此，现有文献关注的重点在快速成长企业研究中仍然非常分散，仍然存在着不一致的结论，这种不一致不仅体现在不同学派之间，即便在同一学派的不同学者之间也同样存在。 本研究认为，快速成长企业的研究需要整合性的研究框架，我们需要从企业成长相关的不同研究领域汲取营养，构建整合性的理论框架，进行实证研究，这样可以更好地理解快速成长企业的本质以及成长模式。同时我们还需要找到企业成长相关的不同研究领域与企业成长绩效的联结点，将二者有机结合起来。 创业导向是近期创业管理研究中一个重要概念，并日益得到国内外学术界的关注。创业导向作为一个创业战略的核心概念，它探讨了创业家的战略导向，并对企业成长研究相关领域结合起着不可忽视的作用。 我们认为创业导向作为创业战略的核心，对企业的资源和能力、企业家、外部环境有直接的影响关系，也直接影响到企业成长和企业绩效的提升和延续，而且，正是创业导向在快速成长企业研究中将资源理论、动机理论、战略适应理论内企业成长的关键因素有机结合了起来。 本研究针对快速成长企业，以创业导向为基点，将基于资源理论、动机理论、战略适应理论的研究有机地结合起来，构建了以创业导向为核心的整合研究模型。研究认为，成长态度、企业家资源和能力、企业资源和能力、资源网络以及外部环境等概念对创业导向有直接的影响，并通过创业导向的中介作用影响快速成长企业的成长和绩效。 研究通过大规模的调查，对区域科技制造业进行了抽样调查，在同一研究模型中对快速成长企业与慢速成长企业的差异、快速成长企业的关键因素以及成长态度、企业家资源和能力、企业资源和能力、资源网络以及外部环境等关键因素与创业导向及企业成长与绩效的结构关系进行了实证分析，并通过增加内生变量的办法，对模型进行了修正。 论文研究得到了以下主要结论： 第一，快速成长企业与慢速成长企业存在本质差异。证明快速成长企业比慢速成长企业确实具有不同的特征。例如战略导向、企业成长愿望、相关产业经验、企业家经验、知识员工比例、日常咨询合作、消费者价值创造、产品的卓越性能、创新活动、环境动荡性、环境异质性、环境敌意性和企业战略的超前行动等特征和行为具有明显的差异。 第二，整合性模型得到实证的支持，创业导向作为快速成长企业的关键因素的先行因素，成长态度、企业家资源和能力、企业资源和能力、资源网络以及外部环境等作为创业导向的影响因素等假设在研究模型中都得到了实证结果的支持，证实了创业导向是战略管理与创业管理两个学派之间的一个联结点的观点。同时也支持了创业导向与企业成长和企业绩效之间的路径关系。在创业导向这个联结点上，数据分析显示，这些概念和创业导向与企业成长及绩效之间存在密切的关系，而且一些概念受整合模型的影响没有得到证实，大多数理论假设得到了实证支持。 第三，研究发现，快速成长企业的成长关键因素在企业成长和企业绩效两个不同的模型中作用关系不同。外部环境在企业成长模型和企业绩效模型中对企业成长和企业绩效的作用最为明显。资源能力在企业绩效模型和企业成长模型中作用机理不同，在企业绩效模型中企业的资源能力直接影响企业绩效，但是在企业成长模型中通过创业导向影响企业成长。企业家的资源和能力与企业的资源网络在两个模型中都通过创业导向影响企业成长或企业绩效。成长动机在成长模型中对企业成长的直接作用大于对创业导向的直接作用，而在绩效模型中对创业导向的直接作用大于对企业成长的直接作用。企业家资源和能力在成长模型中对创业导向直接作用大于在绩效模型中对企业绩效的直接作用。所以，相同的成长关键因素在不同的模型中对企业成长或绩效的作用关系不同。
英文摘要：	Under the contemporary competitive environment, rapid growth firms have been an important issue for entrepreneurship research. Both the academic literature and the practical press are now focu on rapid growth firms all over the world. Only a small fraction of all firms aim for, or ever achieve, rapid growth. Yet, it is that small fraction that is responsible for a disproportionate share of the creation of new jobs and employment. Despite the fact that the average firm in America grows at only a 3.5% rate, there exists a subset of firms that grows in a more accelerated fashion. These rapid-growth firms, which are an important stimulus to the national economy, are of particular interest to academics and practitioners because rapid growth is often an indication of market acceptance and firm success . Many rapid-growth firms in china, such as Lenovo, Haior, Mengniu Ltd., have spawned new industries and spearheaded the development of innovative products and services. By examining rapid-growth firms, researchers can help all firms better understand the attributes associated with firm growth in China. Despite these positive outcomes, rapid growth is difficult to achieve and maintain. The growth rates of companies often stall because of the demands associated with the growth process. In fact, only one in seven companies generate sustained, profitable growth. In earlier studies, coping with the stresses imposed by instant size, a sense of infallibility, internal turmoil, and extraordinary resource needs are persistent challenges that managers of rapid-growth firms face. Missteps in the management of any one of these challenges might lead to the failure of an otherwise successful rapid-growth firm. These unsuccessful rapid-growth firms in China were called as falling star firms. Although the challenges associated with rapid growth, numerous surveys suggest that growth is a top strategic priority for a large percentage of firms. Rapid growth, however, is not a random or chance event, but is associated with specific firm attributes, behaviors, strategies, and decisions, that is to say, to some extent, rapid growth firm is exactly specific one among SMEs. Lots of foreign researchers has done much work to recognize the specific characteristics of rapid growth firms, but in China, these researches was quite limited, so the purpose of this study is to add to the literature on rapid-growth firms by comparing the key attributes in China. By using a quantitative analysis on firms surveyed in Tianjin Area, China, this study hopes to draw distinctions in the key attributes between rapid-growth and slow-growth companies in China and provide prescriptive advice to Chinese executives who wish to increase their firms’ growth potential. The literature on rapid-growth firms has focused on whether there are systematic differences between rapid-growth firms and their slow-growth counterparts, and what these differences are. Despite increased research efforts, our knowledge about high-growth businesses is “still very limited.”To review the literature, we compared key variables of research review by different research fields. Contrary to prior beliefs that the literature on firm growth is fragmented or limited, we found that there have made a great progress for the study of rapid growth firms. First, growth is not a random event. A firm’s growth-related attributes, its business practices, and its HRM practices make a difference in terms of its ability to achieve and sustain rapid growth. Second, Implication of the study is that the personal characteristics of the entrepreneurs who start a firm have an impact on the firm’s ability to achieve and maintain a rapid growth rate. This dissertation integrated research frame of different academic fields: Entrepreneurial attitudes, Entrepreneurial strategy, Firms resource & capabilities, Environment, and Rapid growth.,and views Entrepreneurial Orient as the strategic interface that bridges Strategic management and entrepreneurship research field about rapid growth firms, which address the determinants of rapid growth firms from different research fields. Using prior study design, Three analysis were made from extant item pool to develop relevant scales for the research. First, Compare analysis was used for searching different characters between rapid growth firms and low growth firms; Second, multi-linear analysis was used for determining key growth factors on entrepreneurial orient; Finally, Taking account of the non –normality distribution as survey data and sample size, the author used PLS-Graph other than Lisrel as the Structural equation modeling (SEM) analytical technique. SEM analysis aimed as structure relationship with key growth factors, Entrepreneurial Orient and growth performance/ financial performance. The main findings of this study are summarized as following: 1. By using the data and the model, we test the variables which we choose, for sure we find some unique characters in integrated research model, such as significance of some variables which are distinct: relevant industry experience, entrepreneurial experience, age, rate of employees that hold university degree, growth-oriented vision and mission, day-to-day advisors cooperation, creating unique value for customers, product superiority, innovation, dynamism, hostility, heterogeneity, and proclivity. by comparing rapid growth firms and lower-growth firms, we find that entrepreneurs of rapid growth firms are very sensitive to environment. Furthermore, not only inter-management in firms is emphasized by rapid growth firms in SMEs, but environment which may be create more market opportunities will be emphasized.The research finds that entrepreneurs do not show great zeal for risk. Significance of risk-taking is not distinct between rapid growth firms and lower-growth firms, though we hypothesize that it is right that entrepreneurs more likely to take risk because of high risk of rapid growth firms. 2. Fundamentally, the integrated research model is supported by empirical results and the study confirms that the entrepreneurial orient construct is a connecting link between the preceding and the following approaches. Also empirical results provided evidence of a positive association between contract. So an integrative theoretic model views as precdeor of performance. 3. In respect of growth process factors, the empirical results reveal that there exist both direct and indirect paths between entrepreneurial orient and performance. Especially, there are both direct and indirect paths in growth model and financial performance model. In other words, the relationship between other key growth factors and performance are mediated partially or fully by entrepreneurial orient. With regard to growth model and financial performance model, different effects are supported by empirical results. Especial most paths among these constructs are significant. Environment as key construct effects both performance. Relationship with resource, entrepreneurial orient and performance¬ is different between growth model and financial performance model. Overall, the results of the research give a lot of new problems. how are the consequence of factors, which are phenomena in nature, what are relationships between performance and factors? These questions need new method, more datas, and more studies. We believe that we will try to explore them in the future.
