Abstract
The Kickass Companies Growth model was identified based on a study of
over 1100 SMEs and further case studies of 25 of these. The model depicts
components and relationships among the very best, most efficient, high-
performing SMEs and consists of six interrelated dimensions: 1) Ambition
in terms of goals, 2) Customer focus, 3) Focused excellence 4)
Interdependence between the firm and its ecosystem, 5) Adaptability and
flexibility in the business model and 6) KPIs that emphasize motivation and
learning. Following these six dimensions might not be a guarantee of
success, and not all components will be equally crucial for all companies,
however, our empirical evidence suggests that they increase the
probability of success.
