The Center for Management of Emerging Companies was founded to focus on identifying, explaining and disseminating information regarding the best practices of managers of emerging companies around the world. While innovation can, and does regularly, occur in any type of business, there are identifiable types of business activities that have combined innovation with extraordinary growth in revenues and employment, at least when compared to other entrepreneurial firms. These businesses are often referred to as "emerging companies" and typically have a technology-based forcus in their products, services and processes. Emerging companies were once found primarily in the United States; however, it is now abundantly clear that these types of firms can emerge and disrupt markets from almost anywhere in the world and that the strategies deployed by such firms are influenced by a wide range of cultural and environmental factors. The CMEC intends to fulfill its mission through a steady stream of new content including blog postings on the Emerging Companies Blog, which has been in existence for several years, White Papers, articles, books and training programs.
