Growing Pains

Growing Pains, by Eric G. Flamholtz and Yvonne Randle, is a guide to managing the transition from an entrepreneurial startup to a professionally managed company, first published in 1986 and updated in later editions. The authors describe stages of organizational growth and the 'growing pains' companies feel when their systems lag behind their size, and present a pyramid of organizational development covering markets, products, resources, operational systems, management systems and culture, with case studies.
