Abstract
Drawing on the results obtained from the analysis, this book argues that firm growth is not just a macro or micro issue, but derives from the interactions among both macro and micro factors. For this reason, the investigation focused on the integration of different perspectives to understand the macro and micro factors involved and how they affect firm growth. We applied different frameworks to improve (illuminate) our understanding of these macro and micro interactions in the context of firm growth in a less-developed economy such as Kosovo.
