Getting to Scale Growing Your Business Without Selling Out

Renowned academic and businesswoman Jill Bamburg shows how mission-driven entrepreneurs can preserve the values of their company while maintaining their growth and competitiveness in the marketplace. Through anecdotes, case histories, formal research, and advice, Jill provides a practical guide. The book addresses the issues that affect all businesses - production and personnel, access to capital and markets, changes in organisational structure, owner control and corporate culture over time - but with a focus on the additional unique challenges of the mission-driven firm. Readers will learn how to build growth businesses that can be successful and economically significant in the competitive marketplace. They will also learn how their businesses can be strong global competitors without becoming bad local citizens.

Jill Bamburg is Dean of the MBA Program at the Bainbridge Graduate Institute (BGI), an institution offering programs focused on sustainable business.
