Study on High Growth Firms in Singapore
NEC has been commissioned by the Standards, Productivity and Innovation Board (SPRING) to conduct a study on high-growth firms in Singapore with a special focus on SMEs. The project aims to understand the landscape of such firms in Singapore, and how they have developed over time. In addition, the project seeks to gain a better understanding of the profile of founders / senior management of high-growth firms and the management and strategic processes they employ. The study involves collation of secondary data, a firm-level survey, and face-to-face interviews with selected firms. Findings from the study will be used to identify factors which may distinguish high-growth firms and contribute to their success, as well as to identify potential policy measures for fostering and sustaining successful, high-impact entrepreneurial firms.
