Abstract

A firm’s growth is considered as an important indicator for a growing economy. Accordingly, researchers from different disciplines, starting from economics to finance, from management to behavioural studies have participated in the research stream of entrepreneurship growth. However, no clear consensus has been reached yet, which in turn leaves many researchers in the field to float around issues regarding which approach, the degree of measurement, and what factors should be or should not be included in the study of a firm’s growth. Hence, taking 102 entrepreneurship growth studies in Ethiopia, this systematic literature review through meta-analysis has evaluated the firm’s growth literature with respect to the major focus areas of the studies. The result from the review shows entrepreneurship growth studies in Ethiopia are increasingly emerging over the last 20 years. However, they lack comprehensiveness in terms of growth measures, firms’ size, firm’s sectors, and geographical scope. Hence, future firm growth studies in Ethiopia should have to be comprehensive including all possible factors, methods and should be inclusive of all sectors, sizes, and geographical locations of firms in the country.
