To grow or not to grow, that is the question

Some of the largest business where created by entrepreneurs who also maintained a full-time job. These hybrid entrepreneurs where able to juggle and balance their two roles for a time. Researchers have shown that one of the critical questions is when so to leave their job to become full-time entrepreneurs. All hybrid entrepreneurs face many challenges and issues as they swing between their job and their business. This article makes the point that the availability of management tools and technology can influence a hybrid entrepreneur?s decisions about the rate of growth he or she desires. The purpose of this article is to introduce the idea that the hybrid entrepreneurship process is affected by questions of venture growth. We will call this ?the growth question?. A second and related purpose of the article is to highlight how several conditions surrounding hybrid entrepreneurship impact the growth question. The third and final objective is to suggest that hybrid entrepreneurship at the individual-level may become a less permanent activity over time, due to a new concept we identify and introduce called the Wobble Effect.
