Abstract
One can divide companies into three categories:
-
mice
-
gazelles
-
elephants
Mice are companies which will always stay small and never grow. Gazelles are companies venture capitalists are looking for: These companies start small but have the potential to grow and use their potential. Elephants are large established companies which are not as flexible as small ones. This paper would like to present how to create gazelles in Germany or in Europe.
