| dc.description.abstract | As a subset of high-growth firms, scale-ups operate amid ongoing change, time, and resource constraints. These conditions create challenges that predominantly arise on the people side. Existing research has focused on the process of scaling, rather than on how challenges are mitigated through HRM practices. Based on 24 interviews, this research illustrates that these challenges mainly emerge in three dimensions: Leadership, Talent Acquisition, and Employee Retention. In this paper, the focus is on Talent Acquisition. This thesis is the first qualitative study to link challenges to HRM practice bundles. It develops a framework offering an integrated perspective on how scale-ups address people-related challenges, contributing to theory and practice. | eng |
