Growth businesses are different

Discuss critically this statement

Title: Growth businesses are different – Discuss critically this statement.

Why most observers and virtually all politicians think that creating
more new businesses is a ?good idea, their views are often conditioned
by the idea that all new businesses grow and create employment and other
forms of economic and social benefit. In reality, it is a small minority
of businesses that grow significantly and create the majority of
economic and other benefits.

Using library resources to explore the existing literature, discuss the
above statement in a rigorous fashion. Explore where there is consensus
or conflict among academic researchers. Finally, come to your own
considered view (supported by appropriate evidence/readings) as to the
validity or invalidity of the statement.
We are interested that you research appropriate literature in exploring
this question. Thus, we would suggest that a review of academic
literature would be of some value. Key findings should appear in your
essay. You can still read the summaries of technical literature in order
to get an idea of the findings even if the methods appear too complex
for you to understand fully. High quality academic journals that you
might wish to look at would include (but should not be restricted to):
Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice
Journal of Business Venturing
Journal of Small Business Management
International Small Business Journal
Organizational Science
Small Business Economics
