threshold firm

threshold firm
1) эк., канад. "зрелая" фирма (фирма, по своему размеру уже больше, чем SME, но еще меньше, чем большая корпорация; такие фирмы являются объектом многих программ государственной поддержки, направленных на усиление конкурентоспособности канадских компаний; поддержка направлена на усиление программы исследований и разработок таких компаний)

A number of threshold firms have been created in Canada during the past 25 years and they havebeen prevalent in a number of industries. But too few have evolved beyond this stage of development. Many eventually failed or were acquired by foreign firms. As a result, government industrial policies should focus on enabling Canadian companies to make the transition from threshold firm to multinational.

2) упр. "пороговая" фирма (фирма, основанная и управляемая частным предпринимателем, но уже выросшая до такого размера, при котором необходим переход к профессиональному менеджменту; определение предложили C. Daily и D. Dalton в 1992 г.)

Based on his experience as a consultant to small growing businesses, Flamholtz (1986) proposed that the transition point of the threshold firm occurs when the SME’s sales reach approximately 10 million US dollars. Beyond this level of sales, it is very difficult for the founding entrepreneur ‘to control all that is happening’ in the company.
