Performance Strategies for Middle Market Companies

This study focuses on firms with sustained growth and investigates whether they have practices worth emulating.

The purpose of Pathways to Growth is to learn what drives growth in the middle market by examining the real experiences of middle market firms. The recent recession offered a natural experiment for identifying those rare firms capable of growing through difficult times and beyond. This study focuses on firms with sustained growth and investigates whether they have practices worth emulating.

Pathways to Growth examines how some middle market companies have bucked negative economic and market trends, either through steady, incremental expansion, or through a breakout event, which triggers growth. Specifically, this report explores a company’s strength in executing eight well-established dimensions of management, including talent management, innovation, investment management and market expansion. A full list of factors is further explored in this research paper.
