Strategic repertoire variety and new venture growth: The moderating effects of origin and industry dynamism
2014
BARBARA LARRANETA Shaker A. Zahra JOSELUIS GALAN GONZALEZ
New ventures (companies eight years or younger) face an important choice in attempting to achieve growth: Should they follow โstrategic simplicityโ by relying on a few similar competitive actions, or emphasize โstrategic varietyโ by implementing multiple different competitive actions? Data from 140 new ventures in Spain suggest that new ventures benefit from pursuing strategic variety, especially when their industries are highly dynamic. Further, although new ventures in general gain from strategic variety in highly dynamic industries, independently owned ventures achieve higher growth rates than their corporate counterparts.
