Abstract
Although many scholars have suggested that firm growth creates employment, wealth, and broad economic development, no one has yet reviewed whether “hyper-growth” in sales (such as 500% to 30,000%) leads to profitability. Based on the Inc. 500 fastest-growing company database, this study uses a large sample size of 1,233 and found no correlation between growth rate and profitability.
