The decisive challenge facing business management is ensuring profitable growth. No-one would deny companies need to grow and be profitable, but how do companies get onto the growth path and stay there? What is it that companies that notch up high growth rates time and time again do differently? How do they achieve their growth?

To answer this question, Roland Berger Strategy Consultants conducted a comprehensive quantitative survey of the top 1700 companies in the world. They analysed markets and interviewed business managers about their growth strategies. This book presents the results of their studies into business growth and uses them as the basis of new strategies for consistent, profitable growth. Managers can use the strategies presented here to get their companies on track to growth.
