The objective of the study was to address key issues of smallsized firms’ development to identify the reasons why many small enterprises are incapable of growth and to move into a mediumsized business. We present the concept of the Information Problem which is an indicator of the enterprise growth and at the same time an obstacle for its further development. We show that the prompt identification and solution of the problem would enable many small enterprises to increase the scale of operations and build efficient management systems.
The findings justify the primary importance of the fundamental laws of human psychology in any business transition phase. They also provide an improved understanding of small enterprises’ development and factors that contribute or impede their success. We also present a possible methodology that helps to meet the “puberty challenges”.
