В статье предпринята попытка систематизировать существующие знания о факторах, оказывающих влияние на рост молодых предпринимательских фирм, путем анализа 56 исследований в данной области. В рамках данной работы обсуждены основные определения и характеристики молодых фирм.На основе проведенного анализа литературы выделены следующие ключевые факторы влияния: бизнес-среда, включающая переменные отрасли и географические особенности; стратегия молодой компании и внутриорганизационные элементы, такие как характеристики, опыт и уровень компетенций предпринимателя или предпринимательской команды; ресурсы организации, ее способности и организационная структура. Безусловно, сила и характер воздействия каждого из них могут отличаться время от времени и зависеть от определенных обстоятельств, но факт их влияния очевиден по результатам изученных работ.В результате проведенного анализа определены имеющиеся пробелы в эмпирических исследованиях, что позволило сформулировать перспективные направления будущих исследований.

Definitions, characteristics and factors influencing their growthThis article attempts to systematize the existing knowledge about factors influencing new venture growth, through literature review of 56 research articles in this area. New venture definitions and characteristics are discussed in this study. Based on the literature review key factors that influence new venture growth are identified, which contain business environment, including industry and geographical characteristics, new venture strategy and firm internal environment, representing personal features, experience and competence level of entrepreneur or entrepreneurial team, firm resources, its capabilities and organizational structure. Influence of each of them may differ from time to time and depend on the particular circumstances certainly, but the fact of their impact is evident based on the results of conducted research studies. As the result of literature review we identified the main gaps in this new venture research stream, and proposed further research directions.
