Dr Anis Amira Ab Rahman 14
Does every venture need growth?
 Not all entrepreneurs seek growth, and growth is not
a necessary or even desirable objective for all SMEs.
 Firstly, the SME owners may have objectives other
than profit maximisation.
 Secondly, if profit maximising, they may have already
reached the minimum efficient scale of business
activity (small retail shops, repair shops and so on).
 Therefore a lack of growth on its own does not
necessarily indicate the presence of significant
barriers to growth (Bartlett and Bukvic, 2001).
