sociology. We begin with a review of empirical ‘stylised facts’ before discussing theoretical contributions. Firm growth is characterized by a predominant stochastic element‚ making it difficult to predict. Indeed‚ previous empirical research into the determinants of firm growth has had a limited success. We also observe that theoretical propositions concerning the growth of firms are often amiss. We conclude that progress in this area requires solid empirical work‚ perhaps making use of novel statistical

Bobby J. Alexander Given the context of the speech‚ do you believe everything Pericles say’s about Athens in the Funeral Oration? Why or Why not. I feel that given the context of the speech‚ I would have to agree with what Pericles said in it to be true. First of all‚ I think that the way Pericles gives praise to his fallen comrades‚ couldn’t have been said any better.

HRM has been a continuing source of controversy‚ confusion and misapprehension. At the central of this unfolding obfuscation lies an infuriating but curious paradox: despite mounting evidence of conceptual fragmentation‚ theoretical vacuity‚ and empirical incoherence‚ HRM-ism has gone from strength to strength. In short‚ the more researchers have undermined the normative‚ prescriptive‚ and descriptive integrity of HRM-ism‚ the stronger it gets (p. 1)’. Central to Keenoy’s (1999) account of the

Advocates of both perspectives draw on a mixture of factual experiences and theoretical propositions to substantiate their positions. Empirical analysis is often used to differing degrees‚ and with differing levels of success‚ to further authenticate these dichotomised positions.
