Abstract
The characteristics of organisational growth and decline are described, ending in demise or renewal. A “case study” then illustrates these stages — entrepreneurial, maturation, aging and demise — as they are demonstrated in a management development institute. Guidance on how to keep such an organisation at its optimum level is suggested — a state of “dynamic equilibrium”.
