Relationship between Life Cycle Stages of the Firm and Implied Cost of Capital, Based on Dynamic Resource-based Theory

According to the life cycle theory, firms, like living organisms, pass through a series of predictable patterns of development, and recognition of firms’ life cycle stages has important implications for understanding firms’ financial performances. This study aimed to assess the question that whether...
