Edith Penrose
Translation: Tamás Szmrecsányi

Published for the first time in 1959, in England, the classic The Theory of Firm Growth, by North American economist Edith Penrose, is finally translated into Portuguese, becoming mandatory reading for administrators, economists and businesspeople. By understanding firms as sets of human resources dedicated to the profitable production of goods and services, the author highlights the importance of investing in technological research that facilitates cost reduction and diversification of activities and products, through which it becomes possible to eliminate obstacles to company growth. A condition of survival for firms, growth based on technological research tends to occur safely, inserted in areas of specialization and competence that form the technological bases of industrial production.
